Parashat Lech Lecha offers us a profound and transformative perspective. The phrase "Go from your land, from your birthplace, from your father's house to the land that I will show you" has been reinterpreted by Rashi as "Go with yourself," thus revealing the essence of the divine message. Abraham didn't just leave his home and family; he abandoned complacency and ventured into the unknown. This act symbolizes the courage to leave the comfort zone and seek a deeper identity.

Cuál es el límite de edad para que una persona cambie su rumbo? Acaso existe ese límite?

Muchas veces habrán oído una frase del estilo de: “a mi edad, ya no puedo cambiar”, o hablando acerca de un tercero: “a su edad, no puedo pedirle que cambie”.

“The Lord said to Avram: Leave your land, your birthplace, your father’s house.” What can this be compared to? To a man who travels from one place to another and sees a palace on fire. He wonders: “Is it possible that this palace has no owner?” The owner of the palace looks and said, “I am the owner of the palace.” Thus, Avraham our father said: “Is it possible that this world has no one to rule over it?” The Holy One, Blessed be He, looked at him and said: “I am the Ruler, the Sovereign of the universe.”

“El Señor le dijo a Abram: Deja tu tierra, tu lugar de nacimiento, la casa de tu padre.” ¿Con qué puede compararse esto? Con un hombre  que viaja de un lugar a otro,  y ve un palacio en llamas. Se pregunta: “¿Es posible que este palacio no tenga dueño?” El dueño del palacio miró y dijo: “Yo soy el dueño del palacio.” Así, Abraham nuestro padre dijo: “¿Es posible que este mundo no tenga quien lo gobierne?” El Santo, Bendito sea, miró y le dijo: “Yo soy El que gobierna, el Soberano del universo.”

What is the age limit for a person to change his course? Is there that limit?
