Avracham observed even Oral Torah #Torah #shorts

Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner invites you to explore the profound wisdom found in the weekly portion of Toldos. In this discussion, we examine the blessing Hashem Yisbarach bestowed upon our patriarch Abraham. The text notes that these blessings were granted because Abraham obeyed the voice of Hashem, observed His safeguards, and kept His commandments and Torahs. The use of the plural word Torahs is highly significant. It reveals that Abraham observed both the Written Torah and the Oral Torah, fulfilling the commandments in their entirety. We look into the teachings of the Talmud, specifically references from Yoma, Nedarim, and Kiddushin, to understand how the sages deciphered these hidden meanings. A particularly fascinating insight is how we determine that Abraham recognized the existence of his Creator at the age of three. Through the gematria of the word Ekev, we see a connection to the timeline of his life. This teaches us that his commitment to the service of Hashem was a lifelong dedication that began in his earliest years. By examining examples such as the enactment of Eruv Tavshilin, we see the continuity of the Oral Torah throughout the generations. This lesson encourages us to reflect on our own commitment to the Torah and the dedication required to live a life of holiness. How did Abraham observe the Oral Torah? What does the plural word Torahs mean in the book of Bereshis? At what age did Abraham recognize his Creator? How does the gematria of Ekev reveal the age of Abraham? Why is Eruv Tavshilin an example of the Oral Torah? What is the significance of the blessings given to Abraham? How do the teachings in the Talmud explain the actions of our patriarchs? Why was Abraham considered an observer of the entire Torah? What lessons can we learn from the life of Abraham? How does the study of the weekly portion enhance our understanding of the Torah? #Torah, #Tanakh, #God, #faith, #laws, #rabbi, #morals, #ethics, #morality, #jews, #torahLecture, #lawsOfPurity, #LawsofJudaism, #BeezratHashem, #RabbiLevLeibLerner, #LearnwithLerner, #RabbiMizrachi, #HalachosofJudaism, #biblestudy, #selfdevelopment, #selfimprovement, #musarmovement, #lawsforwomen, #lawsofbrachot, #rabbiefraimkachlon, #rabbiyaronreuven, #jewishstories, #shabbatcandles, #torahstudy, #ConvertingtoJudaism, #TorahLaws, #ToviaSinger, #TorahTruth, #Hashem
