When I converted six years ago, on the 14th of Heshvan on the Upper West Side of New York, I was excited about the parsha that week being Vayera – full of highlights and popular evergreens from the stories of the early years, following on the heels of God’s command to Abraham (or Abraham’s vision?) to leave his country, culture, and father’s house and go to a land that God would show him – into an unknown yet known land, to an undefined yet defined place.
