	Sinai Synagogue Sermon 11-08-03
		Abarbanel explains that Terach’s origins were, as per the plain meaning of the text, in Ur of the Chaldeans, and his son Haran died there in the prime of life.
		Terach thought that the roots of the sad problem lay in his dwelling in Ur of Chaldeans, and therefore he decided to change venue and move to Canaan “which had good air because of its being a land of mountains and hills; its great climate produced the sons of the giants”.
		Terach, on the other hand, represents occupation with man. Therefore Harran (as per Philo’s explanation of the name) is the place which represents this occupation.

	Sanctifying God’s Name and Abram’s Identity
		Terach’s remaining in Charan - not continuing on to his initial destination of Canaan - teaches that Terach’s goal was not so much to reach Canaan, but rather, to leave Ur Kasdim.
		Terach did not really repent; he did not really embrace the ideas of his son’s new religion, but was sorry for acting against him.
		Although Terach acted out of guilt, to the world, it appeared that Abram’s former prosecutor was converted to his supporter.

		Terach, his father, had begun a similar journey ("to go to the land of Canaan"), and even took part of his family with him.
		After the text describes how Terach dwelled in Charan (in the middle of his journey towards Canaan), we read: "And the days of Terach were two hundred and five years, and Terach died in Charan" (verse 32).
		Secondly, concerning Terach we read: "And they came as far as Charan and they dwelled there," while concerning Avraham we are told, "And they came to the land of Canaan." In other words, Terach's plan is never fulfilled; he is detained along the way.

		When Terach returned, all but one of the idols were smashed to bits; the largest idol, standing in the center of the store, was holding a large ax.
		Terach was not impressed by young Avraham's explanation that the idols had begun to fight and, not surprisingly, the largest one, had won.
		A Terach is not disturbed by the inability of one idol to destroy another, for each is limited to its own province.

		Since the phrase "toldot Terach" forms the header for parshiot Lech Lecha, Vayera and Chayei Sarah, this unit must include not only the story of Avraham, but the story of the children of Nachor and Haran (Lot), as well.
		Terach and his offspring may represent a certain aspect of the "bechira" process - wherein there lies a potential to be chosen - but only if worthy.
		Terach's initiative in this regard may have granted the possibility of becoming part of 'chosen family' to any of his offspring who prove themselves deserving of this distinction.

		woman took the stand at the trial today, Terach, Abram’s father, questioned the validity of her testimony, on the ground that, according to an old family tradition of the Hebrews, a woman’s testimony is not acceptable as evidence in a court of law.
		The court, however, rejected Terach’s plea, pointing out that in Sumerian law women are permitted to testify.
		It had been Terach who had made the original accusation, and he was expected to testify accordingly.

		Terach denounces his son Avram for breaking the idols and brings his son to Nimrod.
		Rashi means that the second interpretations does not live up to his standards of peshat, but that despite that limitation, the medresh is of such importance to understanding the pasuk that it could not be left out of his commentary.
		After all, Rashi taught that Terach was responsible for the difficulty that Avram had with Nimrod.

		The passage recording Terach’s death is placed before Abraham’s call, though it happened later, to guard Abraham from the accusation that he failed to honour his father by leaving him in his old age (Rashi, Midrash).

		Terach was not motivated by spiritual goals, not by a divine command.
		While the Torah does not tell us specifically why Terach decided to migrate to Canaan, we can assume that he was motivated by economic factors as are most migrations.
		The fact that Avraham's aliyah was to some degree a completion of the move that was started by Terach is reflected in verse 12:5 which is parallel to verse 11:31 describing Terach's move.

		Terach took his son Abram, his grandson Lot the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and they set out together from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan; but when they had come as far as Haran, they settled there.
		Terach left his home in Ur of the Chaldeans (in southeastern Mesopotamia, near the mouth of the Euphrates river, at the Persian Gulf), and set out for Canaan.
		Terach did go through a profound spiritual transformation, evolving from a pagan idol worshipper to a monotheist, but he was still not strong enough to fulfil his spiritual destiny and complete his spiritual journey.

		Terach, since he was a wicked person, is considered to have died even while alive, and therefore, Avraham is not obliged to honor him.
		Terach was a wicked person and though Avraham knew that he was not obliged to honor him, he was halachically unclear about the impression this would make on others who were less sensitive to G-d’s will than he was.
		A simpler explanation is that the verse (15: 15) indicates only that Terach deserved honor in the end of his days when he repented, but not in his earlier years, when he still classified as a wicked person.

		Since "toldot Terach" forms the header for parshiot Lech Lecha, Va'yera and Chayei Sarah, this unit must include not only the story of Avraham, but the story of the children of Nachor and Haran (/Lot), as well.
		Apparently, all of Terach's offspring have potential for "bechira." Therefore, if Yitzchak is to be married, his wife should be chosen from the family in which this potential lies.
		Like any good Zionist, Terach plans to 'make aliya' and even encourages his family to do so, but he himself never makes it there!] We may suggest, however, that Terach and his offspring may represent a different aspect of the "bechira" process - the potential to be chosen if worthy.

		Terach lived to be two hundred and five, and died in Charan." No consequential facts seem to emerge from these final verses of Parashat Noach.
		Terach lived to be two hundred and five, and died in Charan." Clearly, the focus of these verses is not Avram at all, but rather his father Terach.
		Terach and Ur are inseparable entities, for both the man and his city are bound up in the same idolatrous belief system that almost by definition cannot reject an unjust social order.

		This would mean that Terach was 145 years old at that time, because we know that (11:26) "Terach was seventy years old when Avraham was born".
		As to the second possibility of Terach living fewer years than he was supposed to, Ohr HaChaim attributes that to the fact that Terach did not do what he set out to do.
		He says that Terach truly was evil all his life and therefore, Avraham was absolutely justified in leaving him so that he could live a good, moral life.

		The Torah records Terach’s death to be at the age of 205, sixty years later.
		Our sages say with regard to Terach that ‘the wicked are called dead even while they are alive.’ Terach was on the path to repentance but became entangled along the way and returned to his evil ways of idol making in Charan.
		Remember Terach, father of Avram, chose to stay in Charan and die there which is exactly what he did 60 years before he was buried.

		Terach begat his first sons - Avraham and Nachor - across the river, land of his fathers, and went with his son Avraham to the land of the Chaldeans, and there his youngest son, Haran, was born."
		In other words, Terach was the wicked father, who complains about his son Avram and causes him to be thrown into the fiery furnace, and later brings about the death of his son Haran.
