Vayera - 2023

Chevra, this week’s parsha is Vayera (וַיֵּרָא). There are more stories this week about activities that I would consider bad or evil. Up until recently, I could not imagine that these could still happen today. We read the Torah every year to keep fresh that, unfortunately, evil still does exist in the world and it takes a nation to fight that evil.

The parsha starts with 3 “men” visiting Avraham while he’s “sick” or recovering from his circumsision. We learn the mitzvah of visiting the sick from here. While visiting sick computers, instances or applications is part of our day jobs, it’s also important to visit sick people. Visitors can help the patients increase their positive attitude or “good vibes” which help the person/people get better physically. I only wish I could send “good vibes” to my apps when they break.

Shabbat Shalom.
