Episode Synopsis

Magic Mystery Tour - Lech Lecha is more than the avoidance of religious ideology in action, but rather Lech Lecha is the deepest insight into Avraham Avinu as the emergence of Yisrael in the world. Thus he was kept artificially isolated, מושקע באור כשדים, separate from any influences, not to be touched by external extraneous data, the one and only real self organized expression properties of the בי"ת בראשית and that means the conglomeration which appear to us as different elements, contradictory: the activist, the Socrates, the freedom fighter, the monotheist, the Man of Chesed, all subsumed by אברהם אהובי, the final handing over the world from בני נח to בני אברהם, handing over with full awareness on the part of מלכיצדק. No other explanation of כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו. Not a moralistic or intellectual story, the existential story of Creation’s own organization, the בהברא"ם.
BW: פרשת לך לך is left not only open-ended but open-beginning-ed! As רמב"ן points out it gives us "zero information" and does so for a very important reason: for through לך לך we experience the quest that לך לך itself represents and it is the very זכות of being able to hear לך לך that allows אברהם אבינו to become who he is – the התהלך לפני instead of את האלקי"ם! The פרשה itself is the experience of the נסיון of לך לך which is the universal quest of every human to be a pilgrim on journey to self; because of that it is filled with the failures that lead ultimately to success and not only with the definitions of all of history to come but all of the psychological and human roots to where that destiny came from!
