This week we start the journey of Abraham as he is called by God to “Go forth”. Abraham is often compared to Noah. At the beginning of last week’s portion, Noah was introduced as a righteous man. But what about Abraham’s background? Who was he? The Midrash provides details for the early life of Abraham before he is called forth. One commentary explains that Abraham has no background story because the call he heard from God wasn’t personal. God called on the entire world to go forth! But only Abraham heeded the call and went into the unknown. Like Abraham, you shouldn’t be afraid to be different! God’s call isn’t just for a personal journey, but to share His light with others.
