By zevi770 · October 14, 2013
| The Parsha | It is known that besides the general fact that everything in Torah is a life lesson, the events of the Parshah are specifically life lessons, as they are reenacted during their reading and serve then as the impetus for the lesson at that time, continuing to inspire the lesson throughout the year.

| The Parsha and the Hebrew Date | As everything in Torah is exact, hence not only is there a life lesson from the Parshah of the week, but also to its connection to the day of the month (Hebrew) in which it lands.

| A Story | When the Rebbe Rashab was four or five, he came crying to his grandfather the Tzemach Tzeddek – why did God reveal himself to Avrohom Avinu but not to us? – His grandfather replied, “when a Jew, a Tzaddik, at the age of 99 decides to circumcise himself, he deserves for God to reveal himself to him.”

| The Revelation to Abraham after Mila | It is known the revelation of God to Abraham after Mila was higher than before, and in two aspects, the higher name of God (Haveyeh and a high level) was revealed to him and he was also able to internalize this revelation.

| Jew God | By dint of the fact, that every Jew gets a Bris (and women are considered as if they had a bris automatically) their Godly soul enters and the person becomes literally God within a body.

| The call of Parshas Vayeira | The revelation in Parshas Vayeira, in fact, occurs to every Jew (see above) however to see it, one must work on refining oneself in performing Torah and Mitzvos, and using this world for spiritual ends.

| Parshas Vayeira – in preparation for Moshiach | Mainly Parshas Vayeira teaches us, that we need to prepare for the revelation of God in the messianic era – one of its key features (“you will see God, eye to eye”).
