I I very much anticipate Parshas Lech Lecha. I'm going to admit it's my bar mitzvah parsha. My birthday was earlier. The way it worked with Yom Tov, I did lain for my bar mitzvah. I never heard of a bar mitzvah bochur make more mistakes in his laining, never. My life, I'm 51 years old, I have never heard, never. I I'm not saying this no exaggeration, not hyperbole, yet see in my life. If you go to 500 bar mitzvahs, you won't hear a bochur make more you won't hear a bochur make more mistakes.

In my bar mitzvah, I couldn't read a word. I couldn't I anyway had reading challenges. And my bar mitzvah, but I love Parshas Lech Lecha nonetheless. Hashem made what's difficult for a person is usually what's most important. I happen to love Parshas Lech Lecha. When it I literally look forward for When it I literally look forward for these weeks. We come from Avraham Avinu. This is like our story. It's my story. It's your story. The story of Avraham Avinu. And Avraham is introduced in Noach.

Lech Lecha begins this parsha of Avraham Avinu, where we come from. My rebbe would speak dvarim nefla'im in these parshas. I hope to share with
