Lekh Movie Full Hd

[Stetson Saenz]

Weare finite beings who sense the presence of the Infinite moving within us and all around us. That awareness calls us to fulfill our potential as expressions of infinite life. This calling turns out to be extremely difficult and elusive, and requires of us courage, tenacity, humility and faith. In the Jewish tradition, Abraham is our spiritual father because he perceives this truth, heeds the call and embarks on the journey.

The Torah lets us know that something is stymied or incomplete for Abram and Sarai. For one, their names are incomplete, as though something is missing from their lives. They will only become their full selves, Abraham and Sarah, after many trials. We also learn that they are childless, barren. Abram and Sarai long to be generative, but something remains closed within them. For their barrenness to transform into generativity, they will need to open themselves to Life Unfolding in ways they have not yet discovered.

Abraham and Sarah heeded the call lekh-lekha and embarked on the inward journey towards self-awareness. Every one of us can take that spiritual journey. If we are willing to leave behind limited and habitual conceptions of ourselves, we will discover that we indeed are expressions of infinite life, which animates us and flows through us, the breath of life that is the sound of the letter ה hei. We each have a unique and irreplaceable contribution to make, each of us an emanation of Life Unfolding.

Our goal is to be an organization that fulfills the Torah teaching to be Shomrei Adamah: Guardians of the Earth. Our actions have been recognized by Hazon, the largest Jewish environmental organization in the United States.
