Is it really better to travel than to arrive? Parshat Lech Lecha

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Abrau the commander comes out of the blue. There's no explanation who Abraino was at all. In other words, by by by uh we don't know that he was wonderful at or or any of virtues. So the morale explains unlike Noah where it says the is not dependent on anything that he is not dependent on anything that he did. The Torah doesn't enumerate any of his virtues because if the fact that Hashem chose Ara was based on his virtues then it would have been if his progeny did not exhibit those same virtues that Averino did the choice of Ara may have been nitpatel it would have been cancelled. In other words, the reason why was chosen was because Hashem wanted him. It was was because Hashem wanted him. It was just any love which is dependent on something. When that thing goes, the love goes. If you love somebody because they're beautiful, so one day when they get less beautiful, the love can go. If you love somebody because they're bright, then maybe one day when they're not so bright, you're not going to love them so much. Kazal teaches any love which is dependent on something, when the thing dependent on something, when the thing goes, the love can go. But real love, this is maybe an idea which I want to go into a bit. There is no real love is the minimum distance or let's even say that there is no distance between cause and effect. The reason you love someone is because you love them. Why do you love them? Because you love them. Because you love them. And that's why love is the beginning of all creations. We've been talking about.
