As we are going through Vayera today, the Torah portion for this week, make a note how many times Yahweh is actually called Adonai. If your bible put the Name at Genesis 18:3, well, you need a new bible. Years ago we discovered the ISR put the Name here and were shocked to see the Torah handled such a way.

Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.
Genesis 21:3

Although it was very common for mothers to name their children (see Rachel and Leah), Abraham exercised a father's prerogative in naming Isaac. Note that Joseph didn't name Yeshua. God did, exercising His fatherly prerogative.

Exodus 22:22, “You shall not oppress any widow, or fatherless child. This is the time of year that many people begin fundraising for charity. I will encourage you to pray before you give. Remember it is not just during the winter holidays that people are hungry or cold. Give carefully also, know where you money is going. We are constantly building relationships with people who care for the widows and fatherless. If you are looking to give a little from the heart and not a great amount for a tax exemption…. please consider letting us put you in contact with some of our friends. Your money will go directly to the people who need it the most.

Thought for Today: Shabbat November 12:

May you learn to rest in the Goodness of YHVH. When you are tempted to worry about your loved ones, may you instead rejoice that your Saviour is in their midst with an earnest Love, deep Compassion, and profound Wisdom. He longs to be gracious to them and show them His Lovingkindness. May you feel free to exhale your worries and breathe in His Promises because they are true, and they are for you. It is time to refuse angst and remember that He is Adonai Eloheinu, He is Good, and He cares about every detail of your life
