A Short Vort - Vayeira 5784 (11.23) BS”D Vayeira: The Legacy of Avraham Avinu & The Destiny of Am Yisrael In this week’s parsha, Parshas Vayeira, we continue to learn of the life, journey, struggles, triumphs and faith of our father and founder, Avraham Avinu. In the most recent edition of Commentary, John Podhoretz writes in his Editor’s column: “While I write, highly uncivilized human beings are ying over and climbing under and running on foot and paragliding into the country of my sister and her family and my people, trying to kill them all. In all honesty, I am not sure how to relate the following piece directly to the parsha, but I found it to be especially moving and powerful, and as our nation faces a common enemy who has risen to destroy us and our Land, it is a piece well worth reading. The Mishnah tells us: ‫ לְהֹוִדיעַ ּכַּמָה‬,‫עֲׂשָָרה נִסְיֹונֹות נִתְנַּסָה אַבְָרהָם אָבִינּו עָלָיו הַׁשָּלֹום וְעָמַד ּבְכֻּלָם‬ ‫ חִּבָתֹו ׁשֶל אַבְָרהָם אָבִינּו עָלָיו הַׁשָּלֹום‬- with ten tests our forefather Avraham was tested, and he withstood them all, in order to make known how great was our father Abraham's love [for G‑d] (Avos 5:3).

From the rst journey from his homeland and family to the new land, to the day of his death at 175 years, Avraham blazed the trail of the life, struggles, triumphs and survival of his children, Am Yisrael (see Ramban to Bereishis 12:6). The battle today is not only “the battle for our home” of Medinat Yisrael, and it is not only “Our second War of Independence” (as PM Netanyahu called it in his remarks to the nation this past Motzei Shabbat), being fought seventy- ve years after the State was established in 1948. Israelis are coming together as never before and will be ghting this war with a clarifying determination because the Jews have ingather
