Lech Lecha wasn’t just a command to Avraham — it was a call that echoes through every Jewish soul.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught that “the command Lech Lecha remains an ongoing mission for all of Avraham’s descendants. Until the coming of Mashiach.”

Chazal teach that the world was created in six days, corresponding to 6,000 years of history, divided into three eras:
2,000 years of desolation (tohu), 2,000 years of Torah, and 2,000 years of Yemot HaMashiach (Avodah Zara 9a).
The age of Torah began this week. Avraham, born in year 1948 from creation, began spreading awareness of Hashem at 52 — just four years after the Tower of Bavel.

He stood alone against the world, found Hashem, and accepted the mission to rebuild it.
He was known as Avraham HaIvri, from the word Eiver — “side.” The whole world was on one side, and he was on the other.
From him, the story of Am Yisrael began — a nation chosen to bring Hashem’s light into every corner of creation.

As Avraham journeyed through the land, he built mizbechot to Hashem.
A mizbeach must be made of many stones joined together — one built upon another — forming a solid foundation.
That’s exactly what Avraham did for all generations. Every mizbeach he built symbolized the spiritual groundwork for his descendants to continue the mission.

Just as his stones supported one another, each generation would build on the strength of those before it — carrying his vision forward.
From that foundation, every generation added its own bricks:
Yitzchak with strength, Yaakov with truth, Moshe with Torah, David with song, Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi with the Mishna, Ravina and Rav Ashi with the Gemara — and so many more.

Rabbi Chaim Vital once asked his teacher, the Arizal, how our small generation could bring Mashiach when so many greater ones before us couldn’t.
The Arizal answered that the earlier generations were spiritual giants, and we stand upon their shoulders.

Our mission is nearly complete. The foundation is strong.
We are not still building the mizbeach — we are adding the last few bricks of the Third Beit HaMikdash.
That’s our role: to finish what Avraham began.
Every act of chesed. Every word of Torah. Every moment of bitachon in the face of fear.
Every time we stand up for truth, even when the world disagrees, we continue his mission.

We are the Ivriim on the other side, no matter how much of the world is against us.
Each time we lift our eyes to Hashem instead of the headlines, we add the final touches to the story Avraham started.
Avraham didn’t just start a family. He started a movement — a revolution of emunah.

And in our generation, the last before the ultimate Geulah, the mission is clear:
to rise beyond comfort, to step beyond limits, and to bring Hashem into the world, one mitzvah, one heart, one brick at a time.

The question is no longer if we can bring Mashiach. We know we can.
The only question is: how badly we want it — and how quickly we’ll finish the job.
