Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 2-page article I published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 10/27/23, entitled: Lech Lecha: Avraham’s Origin Story and the Torah’s Silence. For years I've been bothered by the Torah's silence on Avraham's backstory. I recently stumbled upon an answer which caused me to rethink how I learn pshat.

Question from talmid: What is "lech lecha'ing"? Answer from sponsor: "Exiting comfortable stasis for the sake of achieving (likely uncomfortable, but divinely necessary) purpose."
