This week's parsha is a continuation of the life of Abraham. Telling of his complete and total devotion to the Jewish people. In my own life and community this example is one of great significance, particularly now.
In our lives we have to be passionate about something. We have to have a devotion to something. Whether is be our family, job or community, or all the above. What is life without feeling so strongly about one of them that we would fight for it?
We are not here simply to have external pleasures and creature comforts, and call those things our life. If all those things are gone what do you have? There has to be a fire within to give us life. To what do you feel devoted and passionate about?
Without that we are just going through the motions, and not living to your life's potential. Good Shabbos!
This week's parsha is Chayei Sara.
