What a wonderful day of intergenerational and international connections! We welcomed high school students visiting from Budapest, Hungary, for an afternoon filled with laughter, storytelling, and shared memories. Experiences like these remind us of the importance of connecting across generations and cultures.

This week’s Torah Portion, L**h L**ha (Genesis 12:1-17:27, opens with G-d saying to Abram (not yet named Abraham) to go forth and leave your homeland and your past behind. Why? To go to the land that G-d will guide them to.

The Rabbis note the sacrifice Abram and Sarai are asked to make, but then notes that G-d balances that with blessings as a reward for their courage to go.

This reminds us that the journeys of our lives often require that we leave comfort and that which is familiar behind. May we have the wisdom and courage to step into the unknown future, with the faith that, along with the challenges, come great rewards and opportunities.

This week’s Torah portion, Noach (Genesis 6:9-11:32) begins with the story of Noah and the flood. While there is much that can be said about this part of the text, let’s look instead to the end of the portion – the story of the Tower of Babel.

The people of the earth all spoke one language and set out to build a tower that would reach the heavens. G-d, concerned that the people were trying to be like G-d themselves, stops them by making them all speak different languages. When one spoke, it appeared to the other that they were just “babbling”. What was their sin that caused G-d to do this? It wasn’t their lack of humility; they valued life less than material things.

One midrash (rabbinic story) notes that “If a man fell down and met his death, none took notice, but if a brick dropped, they wept, because it would take so long to replace it.”

May Shabbat help us connect more with our own humanity and remind us to value the life of every living being.
