So when God made me wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘Let this be the kindness that you shall do me: whatever place we come to, say there of me: He is my brother.’”
Genesis 20:13 (The Contemporary Torah, JPS, 2006)
I don’t typically take single verses and disconnect them from their context, but I can’t help but notice the sweetness in this thing Abraham says.
To shield me from harm, your kindness is to call me “brother.”
May we all hold this notion close to our heart. May we love one another.
