So to recap. Last week, Abram's father, Terach, leaves Ur Chasdim to go to Canaan, but stops at a rest stop near the Haran exit on the turnpike and stays there. This week Abram gathers up his lot (get it?) and continues the trip. Once there he immediately decamps to Egypt.

Looking ahead, his son Isaac will traipse around the land digging wells, then his son will end up leaving to go stay with his uncle. This family just can't sit still. Yet, it's better than what happens later in our history, when we are forced to leave against our will, as described in this song, which was cut from Fiddler on the Roof, and which I link here purely because I like it and this it's a great song, even though it has nothing to do with this parasha.

We are planning on holding Zoom services, but only if we get 10 signups.
