#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to this week's Parasha Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded). Shabbat Nachamu (Sabbath of Comfort) has a special name because this Shabbat follows the fast day on the 9th of Av (Tisha B'Av), when the First and Second Temples were destroyed. This name comes from the first lines of the Haftarah (prophetic portion) read on this Shabbat which begins, “Comfort, oh comfort My people, says your God.” It is traditionally considered to be a day of comfort for Israel in history. It is believed that on this day the first generation of Israelites had stopped dying and the new generation were now ready to enter the promised land, which we will read a little about in this Torah portion. Please read along with us; we know you will be blessed!
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.

Simchat Torah Beit Midrash - Joy of God’s Teaching and Instruction
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16
What Does It Mean to Choose Life? Every decision you make can be made in a way that you are “choosing life.”
The Torah is God’s constitution; it is His teaching and instruction; it is eternal and it is life.
His Spirit is pure Light, abundant with untouchable, supreme, sovereign power.
God is the Source of all life.
וָאֶתְחַנַּן Va'etchanan means “and I implored” or “and I pleaded”
Two of the most familiar passages in the Torah are contained in this Torah portion: the Shema and the reiteration of the Ten Commandments. The Shema is the declaration of faith in One God. It contains the commandment to love God with all your heart, soul, and strength, to study His Words and teach your children to do the same, and to bind the words as reminders on your arm and head, and to write them on the doorposts of your home. Written on two tablets of stone, the Ten Commandments are a powerful set of principles laid out which teach us how to live an ethical, moral life. While these Ten Commandments speak for themselves, here are a few brief insights into each one:

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:
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 had 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 them 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.
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.
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 making 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 and 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.
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.
It is 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.
