Shield of Avraham
October 17, 2010

Dear Friends,
In Parshas Lech Lecha, Hashem promises Avraham that He will be a “shield” to him. So important is this pledge that we invoke it three times a day in our prayers, even referring to Hashem as the “shield” of Avraham! Clearly, this promise applies for all time and to even us! So the question is, what does it mean? In this week’s talk, we take a new look at Avraham, his role dating back to the beginning of creation, his relationship with Adam, and how we go about fixing the world.
