Parashas Devarim - Tisha B' Av

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Devarim , starting the First Sedra of the last Book of the Torah. This Book of Devarim,was called by our Sages, 'Mishneh Torah,' which means ' Repetition or Review of The Torah ,' where this Book explains some Laws that came before , but here , in this Sedra,they are more detailed and are explained in a deeper way. Also Torah is learned via deep study and review and each time we learn a word or verse in Torah, more beauty and depth shows itself.
This Shabbos also comes out on the 9th of Av ,Tisha B' Av , and seeing that we don't Fast on a Shabbos, unless it is Yom Kippur, we postpone the Fast till the next day. Tisha B' Av, was the date that the Spies came back from spying out the land of Canaan and brought a negative report on the land and on the night of that 9th of Av, they caused the people to cry in their own tents , for no reason, and shun the land HaShem Wanted to Give us, and so , this date was ordained that after this sad event till Mashiach comes, there will be reason to cry. So many tragedies happened on this 9th of Av,like the destruction of both our Temples and attacks on Yerushalaim, The Crusades, World War, Final Solution date by the nazis, Chmielnitsky Massacres,Our Expulsion from Spain, Pogroms, attacks in Israel and many more sad events in our History. Our Rabbis teach us that on this saddest day of the Jewish Calendar,we will in the End of Days future, see how this day turns around with Mashiach and becomes a day of Redemption and Rejoicing.
Moshe , knowing his time was drawing close to passing on,asked HaShem to give him the opportunity to review the Torah, Moshe had received at Har Sanai and in the Tent of Meeting. HaShem Granted Moshe's request and so, Moshe called all the people to come and listen to these 'Words,' 'Devarim,' that Moshe , now , so eloquently , would tell them.
Moshe started on the 1st of the Hebrew Month of Shevat and ended on the 7th of Adar 2488 (36-37 days), and until the date of Moshe's Passing. Such was Moshe's love of HaShem and our Jewish people.
Moshe wanted to instill in us, before his passing,to follow HaShem Wholeheartedly and not to stray Chas Ve Shalom .Moshe always spoke up for us whenever wrong was perpetrated by us.
Moshe now knew he wouldn't be there anymore , and so , he wanted to instill in the people, now miraculously speaking so clearly by HaShem's Miracle,without a speech impediment, that they must themselves, do the right thing and follow HaShem Wholeheartedly.
Moshe started his talk to the people, with a rebuke, to hopefully ensure that the people remain faithful to HaShem.
Moshe started , by reminders of some of the wrongs committed by us in the past. Moshe refers to the Appointment of Judges .
Then Moshe repeats the incidents with Eisav and Moav and also the conquests of Og and Sichon. Moshe then talks of the separated land on the other side of the Jordan River , from Israel, which was to be given to Reuvein, Simeon and half the Tribe of Manasseh .
The Sedra ends with words for Yehoshua.
May HaShem forever watch over Moshe and Yehoshuah and over our people Israel.
We see in the first verse, that Moshe spoke to 'El Kol Yisrael,' - 'To the whole of Israel.' Moshe as I said,insisted that all come to listen to him speaking, for what Moshe spoke ' Devar,' was ' Im,' - ' With ' HaShem , - thus the word 'Devarim .' 
Devarim was named ' Mishneh Torah ' Repetition or Review of the Torah,' for Moshe was going over a few things he had mentioned before,yet many Laws ,not previously mentioned ,are in this Book of Devarim.
It is amazing to think , how special Moshe was, that even after hearing that his time of passing was coming, his devotion to HaShem, was unparalleled , for Moshe was able to serve HaShem and also care for us, no matter what he himself faced.
Moshe didn't outright want to embarrass the people while rebuking them, so he gave the places in the first verse, as hidden hints to the Aveirahs committed , a lesson for us all to learn .
The fact that the first verse in the Sedra, says "El Kol Yisrael,' means in a deeper sense, that Moshe speaks his words to every Jew , past , present and into the future. Each time a Jew picks up a Torah, or a Tanach and reads, HaShem and Moshe Speak through it , we must know that HaShem Intended us at that exact moment to study that exact Portion or Part and we respond with our Free Choice Given, by doing so . The word 'Speak' in Hebrew is also 'Daber,' as in 'Devarim ' and Torah is the Beauty of HaShem ." HaShem and Moshe Speaks to us all the time through The Torah .
Moshe was the greatest Prophet that ever lived and His closeness with HaShem was the closest of any Prophet . He was a man totally self-less, caring little if any , for his own needs and in abundance, for HaShem's and our People's need. 
HaShem and Moshe can never be thanked enough, for what HaShem Does and what Moshe did.
With our power of 'Devarim,' - 'Words,' we can come close to HaShem and bring others close to HaShem . Words Carry, Words Heal, Words Teach and Words Express.Words can be a never ending Holy Chain, right back from Creation, till Eternity and Beyond. HaShem Continually Communicates with us. His Words surround us and encircle us. All we need to do , is Trust in Him and have Faith in Him , and live within HaShem's Words of the Torah.Whatever Moshe Spoke, was from HaShem with all HaShem's Beautiful Words in The Book of Devarim . So while this Sedra starts out by saying that "Moshe Spoke to all Israel,' we note that this speaking took place 'B'Eiver ,' - 'On the Other Side.' There is a deeper meaning to this. HaShem Speaks to us from His 'Abode' and when we remain far from His Torah Chas Ve Shalom , we will be ' On the Other Side.' But when we involve ourselves totally in HaShem's Torah and Words, we are brought closer to HaShem and Surrounded by His Loving Essence of Shechinah .We too have to learn to come closer to our Creator. How do we do that? By following the Name of this Sedra- ' Eileh Ha Devarim, ' - "These are the Words,' for 'Words' of HaShem will bring us closer to HaShem . Words express Prayer. Words express Love. Words express Caring. Words express Learing.HaShem's Words, Express HaShem . 
HaShem Made His Creation,HaShem Only , Knows All . HaShem's Words Speak to us all the time, Softly , Gently and with His Merciful Caring Love. HaShem Gives us His Sweet Words all the time. We need only tune away from physical things and just listen out for HaShem's Whisper,that Touches us and Fills us with Him , so we can live within HaShem's ' Words ' - ' Devarim.'. We need to carry HaShem's Words on our lips, as Moshe Rabbeinu did. We need to share HaShem's Words, as Moshe Rabbeinu did. We need to love HaShem and do for Him without a second thought as Moshe Rabbeinu did . We need to carry HaShem's Words into all that we do , as Moshe Rabbeinu did .
With Words HaShem Made Creation. With Words HaShem Communicates with us. So with HaShem's Words, may HaShem Lift us Up High and Bring us Close to Him, our Ever Beloved HaShem .
As I mentioned, this Shabbos comes on Tisha B' Av, so the Fast is postponed till the next day. To understand why we have Tisha B' Av, is to understand what actions brought this sad day about. It was Slanderous ' Words and lack of Emunah in HaShem and groundless hatred for others - Chas Ve Shalom , So the way to fix it is to Praise and Bless HaShem with every word we say, to follow HaShem's Words fully , and to not Slander anyone but to Emulate HaShem, as much as we can . So as we take words with us this Shabbos and this Tisha B' Av, and plead for HaShem's Forgiveness , may we bring a new closeness between HaShem and us and so, may this day be turned around into a day of Blessed Joy and Sweet Closeness and the coming of HaShem and Mashiach , in the sweet fragrant Garden of Eden - Gan Eiden surrounded by the Love and Words of HaShem.
With Love to HaShem, I wish HaShem with Love, a Blessed Shabbos Kodesh with Love , and to all my fellow Yidden, a Blessed Shabbos Kodesh with love and a Meaningful Fast.
