About the Lech Lecha video
In this week's parshah, Lech Lecha, we learn from the Kedushat Levi that we travel to our spiritual root as we “go forth”, elevating sparks that are waiting for us to uplift.
We’ll embody this theme in our flow, creating and exploring pleasure with movement, breath, and mindfulness.
Accessible class, open to all. No prior experience necessary. Join the recording below…

Parshat Lech Lecha Hineni Yoga Flow
The Sefirah of the Parshah
The kabbalistic meaning of the weekly portion
From Rabbi Shlomo Barya Schachter:
Among the core teachings I received from my father, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi z”l, was that the Torah itself shares the same anatomical structure as the human being and the year.
This anatomy is expressed through the Sefirot — specifically, the forty-nine combinations of the seven lower Sefirot that we attune to while counting the Omer.
By pairing certain traditionally conjoined parshiot, the Torah’s weekly portions can likewise be mapped onto these forty-nine Sefirotic combinations: beginning with Bereishit as Chesed sheb’Chesed and culminating with Zot HaBrachah as Malchut sheb’Malchut.
In this weekly series, we will briefly explore these correspondences and consider how each parshah illuminates its corresponding Sefirah.
In this third video, I discuss the deeper kabbalistic meaning of the third portion of the Torah - Lech Lecha - and its correlation to the quality of Tiferet shebeChesed - Beauty or Authenticity within Loving Oneness.
