A new episode in the series of talks by Chief Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki of Dnipro has been released on the “Menorah” YouTube channel, dedicated to the weekly Torah portion “Lech Lecha.” This portion tells the story of Abraham’s great journey \u2013 the first Jew who heard the Almighty’s call to “go for yourself,” left his familiar surroundings, and began a spiritual journey that became the foundation of all Jewish history. <\/p>

In his inspiring address, Rav Shmuel Kaminezki reveals why Abraham’s path is not just an ancient story but a living lesson for every Jew today. He speaks about inner movement, the aspiration not to remain stagnant, and how comfort and complacency can dull the Jewish soul. <\/p>

This video is a reflection on what it means to be Jewish in the modern world. Why is it impossible to cease being part of the Jewish people, even if one distances themselves from their roots? How do trials, doubts, and searches only strengthen the inner connection to the Torah? And why does Abraham’s journey continue in each of us \u2013 in our faith, traditions, and daily choices? <\/p>

The new episode on the “Menorah” channel is a profound conversation about loyalty, identity, and spiritual courage. It invites the viewer to reflect on their own purpose, where their personal path is leading, and how important it is to preserve the inner light of the Jewish soul, no matter how difficult the road may be. <\/p>

Watch the new talk by Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki on the “Menorah” YouTube channel and discover the eternal lessons of the “Lech Lecha” portion that continue to resonate today.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
