Parashas Va' Eschanan Shabbos Nachamu

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Va' Eschanan. This Parsha , we read just after the week of Tisha' B ' Av and so , the Haftorah for this Parsha is Isaiah 40:1-6 and starts with the words 'Nachamu Nachamu Ami Yomar Elokeichem,' - ' Comfort Comfort My People, Says G-D .' After Tisha B'Av, HaShem can let us return from Galus - Exile and let our sins be forgiven . So this is very apt just after Tisha B'Av . HaShem Comforts us always and His Actions are True . Within the word ' Va' Eschanan , ' is the word ' Nachamu ,' - ' Comfort , ' for HaShem is always a Comfort and His Words and Actions are True . Even when we ask Him for something , and even if He Says ' No ,' this is still a Comfort , as HaShem Knows best for us what we need .
In our Parsha this week, Moshe continues his talk to the people. Moshe starts here telling how he 'Va' Eschanan,' - 'Implored,' HaShem to be able to go into the Land of Canaan and how the answer from HaShem was 'No.'
Moshe carries on in this Parsha , telling of the many Wonders HaShem Performed for us in the Wilderness.Moshe warns the people that when they come to and enter the Land of Canaan, they are to maintain HaShem's Commandments as HaShem Wants.
The Parsha then tells of the Cities of Refuge, in which a murderer who killed unintentionally, can flee to , from the 'Avenger of the Blood ( the relative of the deceased ).'
Afterwards, Moshe reviewed with them the Ten Commandments . This is the basis of all the Commandments given by HaShem . The Beautiful first verse and paragraph of the Shema, comes next in Torah . The Shema has three paragraphs . In this Parsha, we have the first paragraph, starting with ,"Shema Yisrael, HaShem Elokeinu , HaShem Echad," - "Hear O Israel , HaShem is our G-D , HaShem is the One and Only ." .We notice that in a proper Torah Scroll, the 'Ayin' Letter at the end of the first word of this Shema and the ' Daled ,' letter at the end of the first line , are written bigger. Putting this 'Ayin' together with the 'Daled,' spells ' Eid,' which means 'Witness.' This is an indication of us as a people being 'Eidim,' - Witnesses to the Oneness of G-D . Thus one of our tasks as Jews is to teach the rest of the World about the Oneness of G-D . The Shema is a main Prayer of the Jew and is said every Morning and Evening and before we go to sleep . We attest at all times as Jews , to HaShem's Oneness and the beauty of His Commandments . Within the word 'Shema,' is the word "Shem,' which means 'Name ' and when putting this word 'Shem,' s to HaShem's Name with the Ayin letter and the word Echad and the Daled at the end of the verse, we come to the deep concept ot HaShem's Name being the Only G-D and His Creation attesting as a Witness to HaShem , Creation's Creator . 
This first paragraph of the Shema, tells us to love HaShem our G-D , with all our heart, soul and resources . 'We are reminded here of Rabbi Akiva, who, when he was being tortured by the Romans and raked with iron combs, was thankful to HaShem that he could fulfill this verse in Entirety and love HaShem with all his soul and resources and not just his heart, as his soul left his body . How often in our Jewish History have the words of Shema Yisrael and Ani Ma'amin been the last words on our mouths before we faced the anti- Jewish hatred of the nations.
These verses continue teaching how at all times, we must continue learning Torah and how Jewish Males in Adulthood are to put on Tefillin , while praying Shacharis Morning Prayers and put Mezuzos on our doorposts and Gates, a reminder of HaShem Saving us from Mitzrayim .Both the Tefillin and Mezuzos have the beauty of Shema within them on their scrolls , and when putting on Tefillin and having Mezuzos on our doorposts , as given to us Jews , we attest to the Oneness of HaShem . 
Moshe then warns us to continue to be faithful to HaShem , even after HaShem Blesses us with abundance , when we can so easily forget where it came from when we revel in physical material things and so we must always keep HaShem in mind so as to remember where everything comes from - from HaShem. We are reminded then how important it is to teach our children and give our children a true Torah education and teach them to grow up to be learned Jews, following HaShem's Torah and Commandments.
Moshe then tells us from HaShem , that when HaShem Brings us to the land of Canaan,we are not to accept the seven nations that abide there , and not seal covenants with them or intermarry with them, for they will cause the people to follow idol-worship Chas Ve Shalom . We are Commanded to break their altars and smash their pillars and cut down their unsacred trees ( asherah trees and other false deities like ashteroth that the nations concocted ) and burn in fire their carved images .Even when the Temples stood, we were not to put trees in the vicinity of the Temple , as the nations would pray to trees . The Sedra ends with us being told of how HaShem Loves and has chosen us as a nation of Jews to be His Treasured People and how we are to observe HaShem's Commandments and Decrees and Ordinances .
This Parsha as I mentioned starts out with how Moshe " Va' Eschanan," " Implored HaShem to please let Him enter the Land. The word for 'Implore,' is ' Va' Eschanan,' which is the name of this Parsha. Within this word, is the amount of times, Moshe throughout, continued to ask HaShem to please allow him entry into Eretz Yisrael .
If we take the Gematrical value of this word, " Va ' Eschanan , ' it comes to the number 515 and so it was thus 515 times that Moshe , in different ways , ' Implored ' and pleaded with HaShem to let him enter Eretz Yisrael . To just imagine how many times that is, is really quite something. None of us could have had it so important as to ask so many times . So holy and special was Moshe . Moshe also feared that the people would continue to need his care and prayer and he continued to beg HaShem . It is interesting to note, that Moshe passed away in the Hebrew year 2488 . We have it by our Sages that the final year till the End of Days' final date will be in the year 6093 . If we take this 6093 and subtract the date off Moshe's passing, we get the number 3605 years left between the time of Moshe's passing till the time of the final date to the End of Days at its last possible date . Taking this number 3605 and dividing it by the number of Sabbatical Years ( Seven Year Cyces ) , we get 515 Sabbatical Cycles more from the time Moshe passed away till the most final possible End of Days Date of 6093 , so says our Midrash . This is the exact number of times Moshe " Va' Eschanan " - " Implored " HaShem . Thus it is as if, Moshe Imploring HaShem , actually covers us with Moshe's Prayers , till the last possible date till The End Of Days can come . So even today and into the future , Moshe and his Prayers still cover us . How great was Moshe's love for his people .The secrets and wonders of HaShem are beyond our human capacity to fathom . HaShem Has a reason for everything He Does. Even in saying ' No' compassionately to Moshe Rabbeinu , His beloved Moshe . The Kabbalah also teaches that the angels say 515 Tefillos ( Prayers ) every day , so says our Midrash .
Within this word ' Va' Eschanan ,' is the word ' Chein' - ' Grace,' for HaShem always found 'Grace' in Moshe. The word 'Chinun ' within the word Va ' Eschanan also means 'Mercy , ' showing that even in HaShem Saying No, HaShem Is Being Merciful , even though we may not understand or know it at the time . Thus we must always trust in HaShem and have Faith and full Emunah in all He Does , for HaShem Always Knows Best .
This also teaches us that one should never give up hope and should continue to pray and speak to G-D and even when HaShem Says 'No,' to trust that HaShem Knows Best and that His ' No' is for the best of you and Creation as a whole .
Moshe always sought the best for his people and even though the behavior of some who he was leading, affected his entry into the Land, Moshe, never lost caring for them and still wanted to give his all for his people. HaShem loved Moshe dearly and most certainly did not deprive Moshe of the Land , for any reason other than a positive one .
We too , must learn to display faith in HaShem and Trust in His Actions and Providence .
No prayer that Moshe uttered , went in vain . All his prayers spiritually still assist us and that is the same with us. Every prayer we utter to G-D ( For it is only to G-D , that we must pray ) , has a purpose and helps something in Creation, even if we think it is not answered to us. HaShem Hears all Prayer , and all Tefillos Prayers that we Pray , does have positive effects in some part of Creation , even though we may not know it or see it . All Creation is connected and when one part of Creation prays, it does have an effect on the whole of Creation itself, so no Prayer that is genuine and that is made to HaShem, ever goes unanswered, for somewhere and in some time , past , present and or future somewhere ( for HaShem Is Beyond time ) , that Prayer goes toward something in Creation . So when we Pray, we all help each other in ways we cannot imagine . So Wonderful is HaShem . Thus even our Prayers can be an act of Tzeddakah Righteousness and Charity in ways beyond what we are aware of , or could possibly be aware of . 
So much more so , are we all so connected . If we only realized it . So much more so , if we ' Va' Eschanan ,' - ' Implored ' HaShem with all our Heart and Soul and Resources . 
This World needs us to Work together , not just to Pray for ourselves, but for the betterment of others and that we should all gain a closeness with HaShem . Praying to G-D is such a sweet Connection to HaShem , and if we would all Pray to Only HaShem at the same time and with the same faithfulness and caring for HaShem and others, we may accomplish the End of Days. 
So let us " Va' Eschanan , " - " Implore " HaShem constantly to come Closer to us and allow us to Usher in a time of Peace and the End of Days and let us Beg HaShem That He Helps us Improve and Helps us Keep His Commandments and that He Comes Close to us and Brings us Close to Him . May the time Come Now that we Usher in , by our Prayers and Faithful Keeping of His Laws, the End Of Days surrounded by HaShem's Love . May we and all Creation work together to help fill Creation with HaShem's Love. 
With Love to HaShem , I wish HaShem with Love , a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with Love , and to all my fellow Yidden , a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .
