Powerful Lessons From This Week’s Torah Portion
Each Torah portion reveals eternal wisdom, but some weeks speak with an especially urgent voice. In this week’s teaching, Ari Abramowitz shares a moving message filmed just before a full day of IDF training, about courage, truth, and what it means to stand with Israel in a morally confused world.
Drawing from the Torah portion that tells the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, Ari explains how the ancient text mirrors today’s challenges and calls us to live with boldness and moral clarity.
The Torah Portion and the Call for Moral Courage
The weekly Torah portion reminds us that it’s not enough to quietly believe in truth we must speak truth publicly, even when it is unpopular or dangerous. The story of Sodom teaches that silence in the face of evil is not neutrality; it is complicity.
Ari challenges viewers to embrace the responsibility the Torah places on each of us:
to stand firm in our values, defend what is right, and bring light into a world that often punishes righteousness.
Standing With Israel Through the Lens of the Torah
In a time when anti-Israel sentiment and moral confusion are on the rise, this week’s Torah portion offers essential guidance:
Righteousness requires action, not passivity
Truth must be spoken, even when society rejects it
Courage begins with one voice, and grows into a movement
Faith demands presence standing “in the midst of the city,” unafraid and unapologetic
Ari reflects on his own role as an IDF soldier and spiritual teacher, connecting the ancient story with Israel’s modern struggle for truth and moral clarity.
Ancient Sodom and Today’s World: A Prophetic Parallel
The Torah portion exposes a timeless pattern: societies fall when they invert good and evil.
Just as Sodom ignored the ten righteous voices that could have saved it, today’s world risks repeating the same fate if moral voices remain silent.
This video challenges each of us to become part of those “ten righteous” individuals who refuse to stay silent in the face of hatred, confusion, or injustice.
