Lesson Description

With this portion of Lech Lecha, Eitan urges us to awaken our consciousness to a desire to embark, like Abraham, on a journey of transformation. When we leave behind our familiar level of comfort, we allow our soul's potential to manifest. Our willingness to risk the unknown and move toward a new level of awareness will enable us to see more clearly our purpose in life.
