Parshat Lech Lecha: Responding to Life’s Challenges | Into The Verse Podcast 

In this week’s Torah portion, Parshat Lech Lecha, Abraham and Sarah struggle with infertility. Abraham cries out to God, “I am childless!” What is the Torah’s message to Abraham on how to persevere through life’s trials and tribulations? When life throws us challenges and doesn’t go the way we hoped, how do we avoid falling into despair?
Join Rabbi David Fohrman and Ari Levisohn as they explore Abraham and Sarah’s journey through difficult times and the Torah’s encouraging guidance.
