In this week's Torah portion, parshas Lech Lecha, G-d speaks to Avram and instructs him "Go from your land, from your birthplace, and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you."
If it isn't scary enough leaving our parent's house, and leaving the city where we were born, and leaving the land where we are accustomed to, I don't know what is. Well, going to a land that Hashem will show us does sound exciting and exhilarating, but fear and uncertainly would certainly creep up in there for me.
It is from this week's Torah portion where the phrase "home is where the heart is" is coined. Hashem is showing us that we can feel at home, we can be comfortable with ourselves, and we can live up to our potential - at any time in any place.
Have a great week,
