Welcome to this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion), which is called
Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded). This is the portion that will be read
in synagogues around the world this week during the Shabbat
(Saturday) morning service.
 
This Shabbat, which is the first that follows the fast day of Tisha B’Av,
has a special name: Shabbat Nachamu (Sabbath of Comfort). 
This name comes from the first lines of the Haftarah
(prophetic portion) read on this day, which begins,
“Comfort, oh comfort My people, says your God.”
 
Please read along with us; we know you will be blessed !


 “Then I pleaded [va’etchanan] with the Lord at that time, saying: 
‘O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness
and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth
who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?” 
(Deuteronomy 3:23–24)
 
In last week’s Torah portion, Devarim, the Israelites stood poised
at the edge of the Promised Land, on the east side of the Jordan,
ready to cross over and possess the Land.  Before they crossed,
Moses summarizes for the people their 40-year history of wandering
in the wilderness.

Included in this week’s Parasha are several of the best known and
fundamental passages of Scripture in the entire Tanakh (Old Testament),
including the Ten Commandments and the Shema (Listen! or Hear and Do!)
- a call in Deuteronomy 6:4–9 to love the one true God with all our being.
 
This passage also exhorts us to pass on our faith to the next generation
by faithfully teaching the Torah to our children.
 
“Shema, Yisra’el!  Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, Isra’el! Adonai
our God, Adonai is one]; and you are to love Adonai your God with all your
heart, all your soul and all your strength.”  (Deuteronomy 6:4–5)
 
This is the first prayer spoken in the morning and the last said in the evening
 before sleep.  It is often the final prayer on the lips of a Jewish person on
their deathbed, and it has been uttered by many Jewish martyrs as they gave
up their spirits to the Lord.

Excellent truth found here ...
Tisha B’Av: The Temple and the Remedy for Baseless Hatred

“Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.”  (Luke 21:31; see also Matthew 24:33)

Tisha B’Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, which ends three weeks of national mourning for the destruction of the Holy Temples in Jerusalem and other national tragedies, is almost upon us.

This year during these ominous Three Weeks, a period called Between the Straits, the Western nations have reached a nuclear agreement with the rogue state of Iran, removing sanctions and allowing that belligerent state to increase its efforts toward world domination.

That nuclear deal has been received as unpromising news here in Israel, and the significance of its timing is not lost.

“The carefully choreographed timing of the announcement after so many delays could not have been more significant from the Jewish point of view, given that it fell on July 14—27 Tammuz—bang in the middle of the ‘Three Weeks’ period from the Fast of 17 Tammuz (4 July) until the Fast of Tisha B’Av (26 July), when we soul-searchingly contemplate our collective past, our present and our future destiny,” Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum wrote in his July 16, 2015 newsletter.  (BIN)

“We have to build an iron wall to protect Israel.  There are clear risks to Israel’s security in this deal,” the leader of Israel’s left-leaning Labor Party, Isaac “Bougie” Herzog said.

Into the Fray: Iran – Intelligence failures and failures of intelligence
The most charitable explanation for support expressed for the Iran deal by former senior
Israeli security officials is a total eclipse of their faculties of rational thought.

by Dr Martin Sherman, JPOST

[After Gamal Abdel Nasser’s death] the ability of the Arabs to coordinate their political and military activities has diminished.
Even in the past this ability was not great – now it is even less.

There is no need to call up our forces, even when threats are made and enemy forces are deployed along the [post-1967] cease-fire lines. Before the Six Day War, every Egyptian troop movement into Sinai compelled Israel to call up reserves on a significant scale. Now, there is no need for such a callup as long as Israel’s lines of defense are emplaced along the Suez Canal. [...]

Iran orders from China 150 J-10 fighter jets that incorporate Israeli technology
by DEBKA

Iran is about to conclude a transaction with China for the purchase of the Chengdu J-10 multirole jet fighter, known in the West as the Vigorous Dragon, according to an exclusive report from DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources. Beijing has agreed to sell Tehran 150 of these sophisticated jets. While the Chinese J-10 is comparable to the US F-16, our sources report that it is virtually a replica of the Lavi, the super-fighter developed by Israel’s aerospace industry in the second half of the 80s. Israel sold China the technology, after Washington insisted on Its discontinuing the Lavi’s production. The US also objected to the sale of the Lavi’s avionics, claiming that it contained some American components. [...]

Pollard got screwed
T. Belman writes -

I see meting out a cruel and unusual punishment to Pollard as a very unfriendly act in keeping with other unfriendly acts such as insisting, for almost 50 years, on Israel retreating to the ’67 lines and making this Iran Deal with total disregard of Israel’s security.

by Bert Raphael, Q.C., LSM
President, The Jewish Civil Rights Association

The news that Jonathan Pollard may be releases in November of 2015 is an announcement that is long overdue. Some time ago I was retained as Canadian Counsel for Jonathan Pollard. I delivered many speeches on his behalf in Canada and in Israel. I once received a letter from then President Bill Clinton that he would look into the matter. The tragedy of Jonathan Pollard is that he has served more time in jail for supplying state secrets to a friendly nation than any person ever convicted of supplying state secrets to an enemy. His original Trial was flawed when then Secretary of State Caspar Weinberger sent a note to the Trial Judge asking that a plea bargain that had been in place be rescinded. Such an intervention in Canada would have amounted to a mistrial. [...]

Huckabee's Critics
by Rabbi Aryeh Spero, AMERICAN THINKER

Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has warned that the Obama/Kerry deal with Iran could lead to an Iranian-lead nuclear Holocaust against Israel that would, “take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven.” Hillary Clinton, who has endorsed the Iranian deal, has denounced Mr. Huckabee, saying Huckabee’s comments are “personally offensive”. President Obama is likewise offended, as is Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a congresswoman from Florida who is the go-to Jewish member of Congress Mr. Obama uses when he wishes to bar Mr. Netanyahu from speaking or when he needs “Jewish” support for policies and actions that appear harmful to Israel.

LOOKING FOR LOVE ON TU B'AV
Celebrate the Jewish holiday of love with heart shaped cookies and cakes and lots of chocolate. 
You may not have heard of the holiday Tu B'Av (literally the 15th of the month of Av), but the
Talmud tells us that Tu B'Av is considered the greatest holiday of the year with Yom Kippur a
close second (Taanis 26b).
What is so special about Tu B'Av? Tu B'Av has many important meanings,
but during the Second Temple Period, Tu B'Av was a joyous matching making day for unmarried women.
After many years of little observance, in modern times, especially in the State of Israel, Tu B'Av has
become the "Jewish Love Day".
In honor of the "Jewish Love Day", which begins at Sunset on
Thursday the 30th, we have collected 3 delicious heart filled desserts to give to your loved one.

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Va'etchanan
- I Pleaded - Sabbath of Comfort !!! 

The parchment inside a mezuzah is inscribed with the Shema, which is read
in today's Torah portion.
 
Shabbat Shalom !
 
Welcome to this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion), which is called Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded).
 
This is the portion that will be read in synagogues around the world this week during the Shabbat (Saturday) morning service.
 
This Shabbat, which is the first that follows the fast day of Tisha B’Av, has a special name: Shabbat Nachamu (Sabbath of Comfort).  This name comes from the first lines of the Haftarah (prophetic portion) read on this day, which begins, Comfort, oh comfort My people, says your God.
 
Please read along with us; we know you will be blessed!
 
Parasha Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded)
Deuteronomy 3:23–7:11; Isaiah 40:1–26; John 10:1–42
 
“Then I pleaded [va’etchanan] with the Lord at that time, saying:  ‘O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?”  (Deuteronomy 3:23–24)
 
In last week’s Torah portion, Devarim, the Israelites stood poised at the edge of the Promised Land, on the east side of the Jordan, ready to cross over and possess the Land.  Before they crossed, Moses summarizes for the people their 40-year history of wandering in the wilderness.
 

Tel Aviv-Jaffa Chief Rabbi Lau affixes a mezuzah (doorpost) to the front
door of the British Ambassador to Israel's Ramat Gan residence in
fulfillment of the Biblical injunction to inscribe the words of the Shema "on
the doorposts of your house (Deuteronomy 6:9)."  The parchment, which
is protected in a decorative case, is inscribed with
Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and 11:13–21.
 
Included in this week’s Parasha are several of the best known and fundamental passages of Scripture in the entire Tanakh (Old Testament), including the Ten Commandments and the Shema (Listen! or Hear and Do!)—a call in Deuteronomy 6:4–9 to love the one true God with all our being.
 
This passage also exhorts us to pass on our faith to the next generation by faithfully teaching the Torah to our children.
 
“Shema, Yisra’el!  Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, Isra’el! Adonai our God, Adonai is one]; and you are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your strength.”  (Deuteronomy 6:4–5)
 
This is the first prayer spoken in the morning and the last said in the evening before sleep.  It is often the final prayer on the lips of a Jewish person on their deathbed, and it has been uttered by many Jewish martyrs as they gave up their spirits to the Lord.
 
These verses of Scriptures are so central to Judaism that they are written on a parchment and placed in a small box worn on the forehead called tefillin (phylacteries) and also in small, decorated boxes called mezuzot (plural of mezuzah) on the doorposts of Jewish homes.  This is done in literal fulfillment of commands found in this week’s Parasha:
 
“Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:8–9)

Preparing the Next Generation
This week’s Torah portion begins with Moses reminding the people of how he pleaded with God for the privilege of entering the Promised Land, but God refused to grant his request.
 
Moses would not enter the Promised Land because he disobediently struck the rock twice in the wilderness of Zin, instead of speaking to it as God commanded.  (Numbers 20)
 
This happened when the nation’s water well dried up after his sister Miriam died.  Moses and Aaron prayed about the situation, and God told Moses to give the people water by speaking to the rock.
 
But Moses, who was angry with the people for their whining, called the people rebels and implied that it was he and Aaron who were providing for them.
 
Some have suggested that speaking to the rock might have symbolized speaking God’s Word (as given to Moses) and striking the rock may have represented Moses’ effort.
 
Though Moses and Aaron were called to lead the Israelites, performing many signs and wonders, it was God who was providing for them, miraculously supplying life-giving water when necessary.
 
As a result, God told Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in Me enough to honor Me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."  
(Numbers 20:12)
 

Moses Smites the Rock in the Desert, by James Tissot
 
Rabbinic tradition says that Moses begged God 515 times, (taken from the gematria or numerical value of the word va’etchanan).  Moses tells the people how he asked God,
 
“‘Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.’  But because of you the Lord was angry with me and would not listen to me.  ‘That is enough,’ the Lord said.  ‘Do not speak to Me anymore about this matter.’”  (Deuteronomy 3:25–26)
 
God said, “No.”
 
Although Moses would get a glimpse of the Land of Promise, he would be among those of his generation who would die in the wilderness because of their sins.  His successor, Joshua, would cross over the Jordan with the new generation of Israelites who would conquer the Land.
 
“But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.”  (Deuteronomy 3:28)
 
Joshua, whose Hebrew name is Yehoshua (the Lord is Salvation), takes the people into the Promised Land, where they will take hold of all that God has promised.
 
He is a type of the Messiah, Yeshua (which is a form of the name Yehoshua), will take His people into the true Promised Land of Heaven where we will not perish but inherit eternal life.
 
We can learn a lesson from Moses remaining on the other side of the Jordan.
 
There are times when, despite our earnest begging and pleading, God in His perfect wisdom, justice, and mercy simply says "no," and that is the end of the matter.  God may even ask us to encourage someone in the next generation who will carry the torch further than we have, and we need to accept this decision with a grace born of humility.

El Kanah: The Jealous God
Before Moses surrenders the leadership of Israel to Joshua, he exhorts the people to keep God’s Torah and to live in obedience to God’s ways so that they may take possession of the Land.  He tells them:
 
“Now, Israel, listen to the laws and rulings I am teaching you, in order to follow them, so that you will live; then you will go in and take possession of the land that Adonai, the God of your fathers, is giving you.”  (Deuteronomy 4:1)
 
Moses reminds the children of Israel how they stood at the foot of Mount Sinai and received the Ten Commandments.  He warns them not to forget the Torah of God, and to diligently teach God’s commandments to their children and grandchildren.

In telling them this, he reminds them three times that God spoke from the fire at Sinai in which He did not have a form.  Therefore, because they saw no image of God, they are not to carve for themselves images of God, which is detrimental to faith, nor of other gods, which is idolatry.
 
This prohibition of the making of carved images is accompanied by the warning that God is a consuming fire:
 
“Watch out for yourselves, so that you won’t forget the covenant of Adonai your God, which He made with you, and make yourself a carved image, a representation of anything forbidden to you by Adonai your God.  For Adonai your God is a consuming fire, a Jealous God [El Kanah].”  (Deuteronomy 4:23–24)
 
The name of God used in this verse is El Kanah (Jealous God).  This name is also mentioned elsewhere in this Parasha in Deuteronomy 5:9, 6:15 and in Exodus 34:14 (see also 1 Kings 19:10, 14 in which kanah is often translated as zealous.)
 

A Jewish bride and groom stand under the chuppah.
 
The names and titles of God declare to the world who He is.  They also answer our deepest questions regarding our relationship to God.
 
The name El Kanah reveals that God is protective of His people and His relationship with them.  In the same way the relationship between a husband and a wife is sacred, He will not share our praise and devotion with other gods.
 
In fact, the covenant God made with Israel at Mount Sinai is likened to a marriage ceremony, complete with the cloud covering symbolizing the chuppah (marriage canopy) and the ketubah (marriage contract), outlining the responsibilities and privileges of both bride and bridegroom and the agreed upon vows.
 
God is, therefore, asking His people to be faithful unto Him, forsaking all other gods.  All forms of idolatry and worship of false gods is “spiritual adultery,” and can be likened to an unfaithful spouse who commits adultery.
 
The Lord lovingly and faithfully watches over His Bride, and jealously guards her, like a passionate husband protecting His bride.

Unfaithfulness and Exile
“Adonai will scatter you among the peoples; and among the nations to which Adonai will lead you away, you will be left few in number.  (Deuteronomy 4:27)
 
In this Parasha, Moses prophesies the tragic consequence of Israel straying from their devotion to God and turning to idols: they would be sent into exile (galut) and scattered to the four corners of the earth.
 
This is exactly what happened when the Babylonians and the Romans destroyed the Holy Temple and Jerusalem.
 
However, God is merciful; He promised that if the people would repent and turn back to Him with all of their heart and soul, then He would relent and bring them back to the Land.
 
Indeed, in fulfillment of a great number of prophecies, including those of Moses, the Lord did bring His people home from Babylon.  In these last days, He is once again bringing His people home.
 
“In your distress, when all these things have come upon you, in the last days [acharit-hayamim], you will return to Adonai your God and listen to what He says; for ADONAI your God is a merciful God.  He will not fail you, destroy you, or forget the covenant with your ancestors which He swore to them.”  (Deuteronomy 4:30–31)
 
This miracle has happened in our very generation as Jewish people are returning to the Land of our forefathers from the north, south, east and west.  It is not because of our righteousness that we have come back to the Land, but because of the covenant God made with our ancestors.

Haftarah Va’etchanan: Comfort My People
This week’s Haftarah (prophetic portion) is the first of a series of seven special Haftarot of Consolation that begin on the Shabbat following Tisha B’Av and continue until Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year).
 
These seven Haftarot follow three special Haftarot called the "Three of Rebuke," which are read from Tammuz 17 to Av 9, the three weeks during which we mourn the destruction of the Temple and the onset of the exile of the Jewish People.
 
Isaiah 40 opens with a word of comfort to those who are in exile in Babylon and to the destroyed city of Jerusalem:
 
“Comfort, comfort My people, says your God.  Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.”  (Isaiah 40:1–2)
 

Jewish men pray at the Western (Wailing) Wall in
Jerusalem, where it is traditional to stuff prayers on
slips of papers in the crevices of the wall. 
 
This week’s Divine consolation to the people of Israel declares reconciliation, restoration, national renewal and hope:
 
“A voice cries: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.  Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.’ 
(Isaiah 40:3
–5)
 
This prophecy of Isaiah would likely have been understood by the Israelites as an allusion to the ancient practice of eastern monarchs sending harbingers before them to prepare the way, leveling roads and removing impediments for the king.  
 
Just as these monarchs prepared the way before themselves, God prepared the way before the Jewish slaves in Egypt, leading them to their Promised Land.  He would prepare the way again before the Jewish exiles in Babylon, leading them home.
 
And He has prepared the way again, leading the Jews scattered throughout the nations (the Diaspora) back to a restored Land of Israel.
 
This passage also speaks of the future manifestation of the Lord before the world, in which people would be led out of bondage to sin and into the Kingdom of Heaven. 
 
God confirms the trustworthiness of this promise, stating that while all flesh is like grass, God’s Word stands firm forever.  God is watching over His Word to perform it and His promise to restore and save Israel is reliable and can be trusted by all.
 

Reading from the Torah scroll
 
Only God’s Word can restore what seems unrestorable, reconcile what seems irreconcilable, and comfort those who are without comfort.
 
The greatest comfort any Jewish person can receive is the security in knowing that their sins have been paid for once and for all by Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah).
 
Please comfort God's people today by helping Bibles For Israel reveal Yeshua to the Jewish People in powerful, culturally sensitive ways.
 
"Comfort, comfort My people, says your God.  Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins."  (Isaiah 40:12)
 
 
 
Prayer Alert for the next 80 days:  Please pray for Hadas, that she would have a visitation / encounter with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and be immersed in the Living Waters of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).
 
We believe that Hadas will be a future spiritual leader including leading Hebrew worship here in Israel, instrumental in bringing thousands into a relationship with Adonai.
 
Additional people here in Israel who need the same prayers as Hadas.
Jacky, Miriam, Haya, Talia, Shmuel & Anav.
  
Shabbat Shalom from the Entire Bibles For Israel Family !

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE.Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.

Many have falsely said that God is finished with His Chosen People;
however, Bible prophecy clearly states that this will never be so. 
In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving among His people to
physically and spiritually restore them.
