Welcome to this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion), which is called Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded).
This portion of Scripture will be read during the morning services this Shabbat (Saturday)
in synagogues all around the world. Please read along with us, and discover timeless Torah truths
in these portions of Scripture to be read in synagogues this Shabbat.
We know you will be blessed as you read along with us !
This Shabbat follows the fast day of Tisha B’Av and 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.”
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.

Islam and Nazism: What Are the Connections?
by Paul Eidelberg and Will Morrisey - The Israel-America Renaissance Institute
Winston Churchill defined Mein Kampf as “the new Qur’an of faith and war.” Consistent therewith, Haj Amin al-Husseini, the notorious former Mufti of Jerusalem, declared, “There is a definite similarity between the principles of Islam and the principles of Nazism.” Although Hitler and Muhammad shared an enthusiasm for military adventurism and a hatred of Jews, still, their world views would seem to be diametrically opposed. Let us see. Hitler grounds his Jew-hatred in racism as well as atheism. His Jew-hatred flows from the sewers of nineteenth-century ‘race theory.’ Its calculated blasphemy, its materialism (despite Hitler’s self-described ‘idealism’), and most obviously its idolatry of a ‘master race,’ ought to offend, and deeply offend, any serious student of the Qur’an. Islam calls for the conversion of all ‘races’ to Islam, and it does much more than merely call for such conversion – it conquers for it. Moreover, the insistent legalism of Islam sets strict limits on any would-be tyrant. To be sure, Islam is ‘totalistic,’ as are most religions. Islam seeks to explain and to regulate all of human life. This suggests that Islam is ‘totalitarian.’ Various scholars, Bernard Lewis and Daniel Pipes among them, deny this. [...]

Biblical Number 15 – 12 page pdf
... FIFTEEN being a multiple of five, partakes of the significance of that number, also of the number three with which it is combined, 3 x 5. Five is, as we have seen, the number of grace, and three is the number of divine perfection. Fifteen, therefore, specially refers to acts wrought by the energy of Divine grace. Deity is seen in it, for the two Hebrew letters which express it are y, Yod (10), and h, Hey (5). These spell the ineffable Name of hy, Jah, who is the fountain of all grace. The number fifteen is thus made up, by addition, 10 + 5; but as the Jews would not, by the constant use of these two letters, profane the sacred name, two other letters were arbitrarily used for this number, and a different and artificial combination was thus formed—+ (Teth) = 9, and w (Vau) = 6. The number 9 + 6 would thus represent the number fifteen, but without any significance. Fifteen being 8 + 7 as well as 3 x 5, it may also include a reference to resurrection, as being a special mark of the energy of Divine grace issuing in glory. [...]

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 follows the fast day of Tisha B’Av and 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

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.

is protected in a decorative case, is inscribed with

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 one day 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)
(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 and 14
in which kanah is often translated as zealous).
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 that 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.
The Lord
lovingly and faithfully watches over His Bride, and
jealously guards her, like a passionate husband protecting
His bride.

groom share a kiss in the shade of a tree.

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. And 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.
An Orthodox
Jewish man recites morning prayers.
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 were 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).
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 40:1–2)

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.
