Parsha Pearls

In this week’s parsha, Hashem said to Yitzchok אַל־תִּירָא כִּי־אִּתְּךָ אָנֹכִּי, “Don’t be afraid, because I am with you.” (26:24)

We sing in the Adon Olam song: “Hashem is with me, I will not fear.”

In other words, because Hashem is with me, I don’t need to fear of anything. This is a fundamental concept in a life of a Torah observant Jew, and one of the sources of this concept is in this week’s parsha (in the verse cited above).

This is relevant to you since this is in your siddur. Hashem is with you. You don’t need to be afraid. You proclaim it with the Adon Olam song every single day!
