Hebrew Keyword: וַיִּגַּשׁ (Vayigash) — "He drew near." Abraham approaches God, voicing the question of justice with respect but also courage.
Spiritual connection doesn’t mean silent acceptance; it includes honest dialogue—bringing your questions, hopes, and even your struggles before the Divine.
You are invited, like Abraham, to take your concerns and principles to heart, and to advocate with compassion. Raising your voice in prayer or principle can itself be an act of faith.
