thing to do; it makes it a
necessity.
Abraham and Sarah's
journey is more than just a
metaphor for our own
physical travels, it also ap-
plies to our spiritual quests as
well.
Human beings are not ask-
ed to do more than their
capacity. They are asked,
however, to achieve what they
are capable of achieving.

Abraham's journey is more
than just a metaphor, it also
refers to the actual physical
trip to the land of Israel. Rab-
bi Nachman of Brats] av com-
ments, "There are people who
say to themselves that they
love the land of Israel and
desire to go up to it in com-
fort, not in oppression and
sadness.
"This is a false desire, for
whoever wants to go up to the
land of Israel needs to go,
even by foot or through great
effort, just as God said to
Abraham, `lech lecha' — an
actual walk, by foot, with all
of the tribulations of travel?'
Today, more than ever we
witness the fulfillment of
these words, as our brothers
and sisters from Ethiopia and
the Soviet Union have travel-
ed and continue to travel in
the footsteps of Abraham to
the land of Israel.
The difficulties encountered
by ohm today are probably
quite similar to the culture
shock experienced by
Abraham millenia ago. Re-
cent archeological discoveries
have given us a new and dif-
ferent picture of Ur of the
Chaldees, Abraham's native
land. Ur was a powerful, pro-
sperous capital of a highly
developed civilization. It is
quite likely that Abraham
grew up in a large two-story
villa constructed of brick,
with all of the comfort of
home; a paved floor, a large
reception room and spacious
living quarters.
Abraham gave up all of this,
as well as his own culture, for
a tent and nomadic existence.
We are the descendants of
Abraham, following the steps
of his journey. We understand
and take part in that quest in
a variety of different ways, all
of them very real and true to
the lives we lead.
Some of us identify with
Abraham when our lives take
us away from friends and
family, while others see
themselves in Abraham's
shoes as they travel within.
Still others find themselves
following his path as they
journey into a Promised
Land.
May all of us be granted the
wisdom and strength to com-
plete our quests. ❑
