Parshas Lech Lecha tells the story of Avraham’s journey, but hidden between the lines burns another story — that of Haran, Avraham’s brother. Haran, often passed over as a minor character, was in truth the father and grandfather of all the Imahos — Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel, and Leah — and the ancestor of Mashiach.

In this shiur, we uncover how Haran’s quiet act of mesirus nefesh became the spiritual DNA of the Jewish people — passed down through the Matriarchs, and alive today in every act of courage, faith, and sacrifice for Am Yisrael.
