A Journey of a Thousand Miles (Chayei Sarah)
Yet how is any of this conceivable? Abraham and Sarah were commanded by God to leave everything that was familiar: their land, their home, their family, and travel to an unknown land. No sooner had they arrived than they were forced to leave because of famine. Twice, Abraham’s life was at risk when, driven into exile, he worried that he would be killed so that the local ruler could take Sarah into his harem. Sarah herself had to say that she was Abraham’s sister, and had to suffer the indignity of being taken into a stranger’s household.
Abraham’s acquisition of the Cave of Machpelah
In a stunning historic development this week (17-23 November 2019 – 5780 Bible Calendar) the attention of the World has been drawn to the Original Bible Land – the much contested ‘Judea and Samaria.’ as being the legal right of the Jews to possess. This occurred when the President of the USA shocked the World […]

Avraham’s Blessing is suddenly crystallizing! (Parashat Chayei Sarah)
In a stunning historic development this week (17-23 November 2019 – 5780 Bible Calendar) the attention of the World has been drawn to the Original Bible Land – the much contested ‘Judea and Samaria.’ as being the legal right of the Jews to possess. This occurred when the President of the USA shocked the World with this declaration early in this week.
What does this mean for our Time and forward?
Did God appear to Avraham?
These questions flowing from our Parashat Vayerah, this week, may hold an astounding answer which could rattle the foundations both of Judaism and Christian Messianism.
Apart from the question about the 3 ‘Angels’ in this Parashah, there is the main question of “Can / did / does God appear to man?” Many readers will simply close the book on any further contemplations. The evidence though that our selected commentaries on this Parashah will present here, are sure to hold irrefutable reasons for re-consideration of the long held religious traditions which so destructively divide the Elect Nation of HaShem – on BOTH sides.
Parashat Vayerah may hold the hidden solution for defining the real foundations of the Ruling Kingdom to come of which BOTH factions of this Family feud has to be intrinsically part…
God’s Appearance to Abraham: Vision or Visit? (Prof.Ben-Zion Katz M.D., thetorah.com)
Prof. Ben-Zion Katz M.D. Genesis 17 (vv. 23-27), Abraham, his son Ishmael, and their entire household are circumcised; parashat Vayera (Gen. 18) begins immediately after this. The first few verses of the parasha read (the New Jewish Publication Society translation, with some modifications): Gen. 18 אוַיֵּרָא אֵלָיו יְהוָה בְּאֵלֹנֵי מַמְרֵא וְהוּא יֹשֵׁב פֶּתַח הָאֹהֶל כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם. בוַיִּשָּׂא עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה […]
Parashat Vayera – Don’t Feed the Angels
Yonah Bar-Maoz Department of Bible by the faculty of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel. Who were the three “men” who visited Abraham? They are indeed called “men” in Chapter 18, men who eat and drink and perhaps even wash their feet. Later, however, it becomes clear beyond a shadow of doubt that these are […]
Tracing the use of the word ‘Israel’ in the Scriptures
(we use biblegateway.com) 1. The use of the word ‘Israel’ in the Scriptures The book of Genesis uses it almost extensively to address Jacob who was named ‘Israel’ by God. The book of Exodus starts using it for the descendents of Jacob, the nation that was formed in Egypt. Check general context of these texts […]
The ‘Light to the Nations’ will go out from the Land of Israel
Parashot Bereisheet and Noach (last 2 weeks) have revealed great new insights to us regarding the identity of “The Light to the Nations.” Contrary to the general concept that it refers to ‘the Jews’, it has now become clear that it refers on a wider basis to the combined body of Jews and returning Ten Tribers. Hence it is a yet future event preceding the Geulah (Final Redemption).
Haftorah Commentary Parshas Noach (by Rabbi Dovid Siegel, torah.org)
KOL HATOR Comment on this inspiring Haftarah Commentary: Our Blog for this week “Judah the Light unto the Nations” presents a review from another angle of the Great Blessing as expressed in this Parashat Commentary, i.e. to be a Light Unto the Nations in the End Time Process of the Ingathering of the Exiles.
