8. Abraham's Journey: Go Forth From Your Land (Rabbi Yosef Dov HaLevi Soloveitchik)
gee eee ae o[We are impressed by the
Frequent recurrence of the nomadic motif, the destiny of wan-
dering forth, of deserting old native surroundings, of straying in
strange places along uncharted lanes, of being lost in foreign
lands, of exploring the unknown, the new, the strange. This is a
central theme in the life stories of our patriarchs and especially
in that of Abraham.”
sheep’God did not guide Abraham. He bewildered him; He com-
pletely mystified and confounded him. He told him to move on,
to go forth “to the land which I will show you.” Is the land to be
found in the east or the west? No hint was disclosed to
Abraham. God willed Abraham to guess, to find out intuitively,
to somehow smell the fragrance of the land, to feel the pull that
the land exerts, to be attracted by the land spontaneously, s0
that the heart was Abraham's compass or lodestar. If Abraham
had been mistaken in his adventurous selection of the land,
‘everything would have been lost; Abraham would not have been
the charismatic chosen leader and patriarch.
