| And the Lord said to Abram, "Go forth from your land and from your birthplace and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you. | א. וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל אַבְרָם לֶךְ לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ וּמִבֵּית אָבִיךָ אֶל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַרְאֶךָּ: |

Lech Lecha, meaning go
forth is commanded of us in Judaism. In my opinion this can be seen as an
advantage. It allows us to try new things and have more experiences. Before
your mind is set on something, it can be useful to have tried other things before
to make your decision. It also has to do with going on to a new place. For instance, this year I went off to high
school. The end of the semester is coming and it can be viewed as an
opportunity to figure out which study habits work and which habits don’t.
Daniel-
Lech lecha, go forth to a land that I will show you.
Everyone eventually needs to break free, to find their own path. I think that
people need to get away from their parents and the city that they are born in.
That is the only way to find your own path. I think that this can most easily
be done, by taking your junior year abroad, to see the world. If you always are
home or near home, then you can never learn to serve for yourself.
