Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length of article: 3 pagesLength of audio: 10 minutes 50 secondsSynopsis: This is the audio version of the 2-page article I wrote and published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 11/8/24, titled: Lech Lecha: Avraham Avinu – a Vial of Perfume in a Cemetery. This week's article is part Mishlei, part midrash, and part insight into the pshat of the parashah - all thanks to Rabbeinu Bachya's introductory drashah, which centers upon a strange analogy.-----This week’s Torah content has been sponsored by Yael Weiss.
