I S S U E 792 Parshat Lech Lecha \ October 26, 2023 \ 11 Mar-Cheshvan, 5784 Dear Friend, An insight by the Rebbe on parshat Lech Lecha, which speaks to today's headlines, selected from our Daily Wisdom by Rabbi Moshe Wisnefsky. Asserting our Inheritance G‑d said to Abraham, "I have given this land to your descendants." (Genesis 15:18) When G‑d promised the Land of Israel to Abraham's descendants, the land in its entirety became – and remains to this day – the inheritance of every Jew, not subject to negotiation or trade. It is solely G‑d's promise to Abraham that constitutes our connection to our land. When we articulate this confidently and unapologetically, the community of nations will acknowledge its truth. In contrast, basing our claims to the Promised Land on treaties, military victories, or diplomatic machinations will undermine other nations' respect for our inheritance. By asserting our inviolable connection to the Land of Israel, we hasten the Messianic Redemption, when G‑d will grant us its full possession peacefully. ----Daily Wisdom May G-d grant a swift, miraculous and complete victory over our enemies, Gut Shabbos, Rabbi Yosef B.
