Parashas Haazinu :- Our Parsha this Shabbos between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur is Parashas Haazinu . This Shabbos , before Yom Kippur is called Shabbat Shuvah , and reminds us that we have sinned and are to do Teshuvah ( ' Shuvah ' ) - Return to HaShem . The Haftorah contains the same idea of Teshuvah return to HaShem , and is found in Hosea 14 : 2 - 10 ; Joel 2 : 11 - 27 and Micah 7 : 18 - 20 . HaShem Instructed Moshe to write this Song of Haazinu , to remind our people , that when we stray from HaShem , the punishment that comes upon us , is due to our own wrong - doing . We are to change our wrongful ways and so , return in faithfulness to HaShem . Seeing that Moshe knew his time to return to HaShem was near , HaShem Instructed him to mention witnesses that will be there long after Moshe's present time and so , Moshe calls to Heaven and Earth to stand as witnessed to these words , for so says Moshe , " Haazinu HaShamaim Va'adabeira V'Tishma Ha'Aretz Imrei Fi , " - " Give ear , O Heavens , and I will speak ; and may the Earth hear the words of my mouth . " What a thing for a man to tell the Heaven and the Earth to stand and " Hear . " Only HaShem Commands His Creations , but Moshe , on Har Sinai , had earned their respect , when he silenced the Malachim Angels of Heaven And Earth , when they approached Moshe , to try dissuade him from bringing down to us , HaShem's Torah , and his words of persuasion , were such that he persuaded them of how Torah Was Written By HaSem , for humans to keep and how the Torah Is Israel's Guide to HaShem , and so , these Malachim Angels acceded to Moshe , and so Heaven and Earth would be the perfect witnesses to watch over that we keep it and be HaShem's Tools , of either Reward , or Punishment , if , Chas Ve Shalom , we don't . So Moshe said the perfect thing , in starting this song with them . We are told that there will be Ten Holy Songs Shira before the End Of Days . Adam wrote the first one in Gan Eiden , when he composed the Psalm ' Mizmor Shir Leyom HaShabbat , " for the Sabbath day . The Second Shira was sang at the Yam Suf by Moshe and the Children of Israel , after we were saved . The Third Shira , was sung in praise of the Well of Miriam. ( In Parashas Chukas ) . The Fourth Shira was this very Parsha Shira of Haazinu . The Fifth Shira was sung by Yehoshuah Joshua , in Givon , when he fought the Emorites and HaShem Commanded the Sun to stop in the sky . The Sixth Shira was by Devorah and Barak , when HaShem delivered their enemies into their hands , which also included Sisera , the Canaanite general ( Shoftim 5 ) . The Seventh Shira , was sung by Chana , when HaShem Gave her Shmuel , after being childless for many years ( Shmuel 2 ) . The Eighth Shira was composed by Dovid Ha Melech at the end of his life , in thanks to HaShem for saving him so many times from his enemies ( II Shmuel 22 ) . The Ninth Shira was written by Shlomo Ha Melech which was the well known ' Shir Ha Shirim . ' The Tenth and final Shir will be sung by the Jewish people when HaShem Redeems us from the present exile . ( Midrash Says - Devarim - Rabbi M . Weissman ) . We note that all the first nine Songs are called by the feminine gender ' Shira ' but the last Tenth one is called by the masculine ' Shir ' for it says in Yeshayahu Isaiah 26 : 1 , " On that day shall this Shir be sung in the land of Yehuda . " What a sweet way , HaShem Gave us to know when the True Moshiach finally comes. ( For no one may be called Moshiach , till the Final Days when Moshiach comes ( Yechezkel 34 , which must be before the Third Temple ) , for this last Shir , will be publicly known and sung only at the Time of Moshiach's Arrival , and only then will the one who is Moshiach , be able to be called Moshiach , not before . This is a secret sweetness of knowing the True Moshiach , for then , the final Tenth Shir will be sung , where the number ' Ten ' will signify the Coming of the End of Days , Completing Creation , that also started with Ten Pronouncements From HaShem , In Creating Creation , and Bringing us to the End of Days , with HaShem's Revelation , where we will remember clearly , HaShem's Revelation to the Jewish people , at Har Sinai , where HaShem Revealed to us , His Ten Commandments . May the End of Days come soon in our day , and may we all come to meet HaShem when we Jews finally sing this one and only Tenth Shir , with HaShem . Moshe asks that his teaching drop like rain , so it will penetrate within us , and his utterance flow like dew , so it may gently be with us always . , being the life-giving nourishment , that water is to nature . Moshe asks , that when he calls out HaShem's Name , greatness is to be ascribed to HaShem , which teaches us the power of a Brocha ( and the Commandment of saying Brachot ) and of the word " Amein , " for when someone says a Brocha , the one hearing it , must say ' Amein , ' which is also a reiteration of HaShem's Name , for the letters of ' Amein , ' spell out the words ' El Melech Ne'eman , ' - ' G-D , Faithful King ' ( which is also added to the start of the Shema when praying alone the full Shema ) . HaShem Is Our Rock , as Moshe teaches , Perfect is HaShem , in all He Does , and In His Every Judgement , even though we may not always understand . G-D Knows All . G-D Is Always Righteous And Fair . We are the blemished ones . Moshe warns that after his passing , when we grow in abundance in the Land , we will do wrong . Moshe Tells us to remember HaShem , our Master . Moshe Reminds us here , that it is HaShem , Who set the borders of all peoples . It is HaShem , who set the borders of the other nations , according the The Children of Israel . We see that in the fact that there are the 70 Nations , and when Yaakov came to Mitzraim , 70 souls are counted that started Yaakov's family of Jews . Moshe then tells us that HaShem's Portion , is His Jewish people , the children of Jacob , , who became HaShem's Covenanted people , " in a desert land and howling wilderness , " where is Har Sinai , when we became HaShem's Covenanted People , to Spread HaShem's Oneness and Light . Moshe Compares HaShem's Care of us Jews , as to an Eagle with its young . This is a beautiful analogy , for the Eagle is unlike any other bird , for when it flies with it's young , it puts its young on its back , thereby facing the Earth and dangers there , with it's own stomach , thus shielding its young , from the arrows off man . So does HaShem Shield us , his chosen people of Israel . HaShem Guides us with His Holy Torah True , for Torah , Is HaShem's Lighted Pathway , to HaShem , the milk and honey of Torah . We Jews will , in Moshiach's time , be called " Yeshurun , " which has the word ' Yashar ' in it , which means ' straight . ' HaShem , in this song written by Moshe from HaShem , then continues , telling how we will rebel against HaShem and His Torah and Commandments . How some of our people , will sadly follow the beliefs of the other nations , that will lead those who follow it , astray . How some will offer to demons while others will follow falsely deified idols and other beliefs , even new ones of beliefs in following any form of deity-ship , other than G-D Alone and His Oneness . For the Nations seek to make physical , their beliefs , and follow that which has a physical reference , whether it be wood , stone or human . Such things are an abomination to HaShem , who is not a physical being and never will be contained in a physical human , that is born , for G-D Alone Creates all humans and all things , and Is One and Beyond Any Physicality , and cannot be contained in anything that HaShem Creates ( Numbers 23 : 19 and Hosea 11: 9 , where HaShem Is The One And Only Savior Hosea 13 : 4 ) . HaShem Will Then Hide His Countenance From us , so as not to be hurt ,and also so as not to take full cognizance of our sins of idol-worship and other sins , for then HaShem Would Be Fully Concentrated on our total punishment . HaShem Says , " My arrows shall I use up against them . " This sounds very final , but in fact , this is actually also a positive reference , for If HaShem Uses Up All His Arrows Against us , and we are still there , it means HaShem Will Certainly Limit our punishment and we will still survive by HaShem's Caring Compassionate Mercy . HaShem Will Punish all those that have turned away from His Commandments , whether the young man , or the virgin who then cohabits with that which she claims is other - worldly , from whom a young man comes , HaShem Will punish them , from the suckling youth , to the elderly , who do wrong . HaShem Says , He Will Scatter them . We are to be a Nation of counsel and discernment and wise . HaShem will cause our enemies to see our disobedience . This Song of Haazinu , will stand up and show why these things come upon us , That It Comes From HaShem , our Rock . Even our offerings and fruits , will bot be given correctly as offerings , but will be given with idol worship , which is exactly what happened , in the time of the Kings . How Prophetic , is this Song of Haazinu . But just as HaShem Prophecies our Punishment , So Does HaShem Prophecy our Redemption Here In This Shira Of Haazinu . So just as the one has come true in history , so will the other , including , as is mentioned here in The Shira of Haazinu , the punishment and destruction ,at the End of Days , of all those through history , who have in any way hurt Jews through time . HaShem Directly Says here in verse 39 , " See , now , that I , I am He. - and no god is with Me . I put to death and I bring life , I struck down and I will heal , and there is no rescuer from My Hand . " How clear HaShem Puts It , Saying That there is no other god , no other savior with HaShem , That HaShem Is Alone , no other parts To Him , no son part , no holy spirit part as a second part . HaShem Is One . Only HaShem Brings Life and Death . Only HaShem Heals and Only HaShem Rescues . There is no parts with G-D . G-D Is Not Physical and G-D Is One and Always Will Be and Will Never Ever Be , At Any Time , Anything Else But One . HaShem Will Then Take Vengeance on all those who have gone to other deities and who followed other parts to deify them , for HaShem Said , ' I am One . ' HaShem Then Clearly States , " O nations - sing the praises of His people ( the Jews as mentioned earlier in this Song ) , for He ( HaShem ) will avenge ( against the nations that hurt the Jews through time ) the blood of His Servants ( the Jews - who keep to and follow only His Oneness and don't stray to other pagan beliefs ) ; He ( HaShem ) will bring retribution upon His foes ( those nations who hurt His Jewish people ) , and He will appease His Land ( Israel - removing all traces of idol worship and anything that goes against HaShem's Oneness and Torah ) and His people ( Jews ) . " So ends the Shira of Haazinu . Moshe came with Hoshea ( Joshua ) and spoke all the words of this Shira to the people , to their ears that they might hear within . Moshe told them to apply their hearts to all the words that he testified to them that last day of his life then , and they are to instruct their children , to be careful to perform all the words of this Torah , for it is their very life and the prolonging of their very days on the Land which they go over the Jordan to possess it . It was on that very day , That HaShem Told Moshe To ascend the Mountain of Abarim Mount Nebo , in the Land of Moab , before Jericho , and see the Land of Canaan that HaShem Gives To the Children of Israel as an inheritance . And then will Moshe pass away on this Mountain , with a Divine Kiss of Love , just as Aharon his brother did . Moshe again asked to be let into the Land , But HaShem Said ' No , ' again reminding Moshe of his trespass against HaShem among the Children of Israel at the waters of Meribath - kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin , because Moshe did not sanctify HaShem among the Children of Israel . HaShem Told Moshe that he would only see the Land from a distance , but shall not enter there into the Land that HaShem Gives To the Children of Israel .HaShem Told Moshe , that in Moshiach's Time , Moshe would then rise and lead the generation of the Wilderness , into The Land Then . So ends the Parsha . Isn't it interesting that this Shira begins with the word " Haazinu , " - " Give Ear . " Giving Ear , means listening wholeheartedly . What does listening wholeheartedly mean ? It means listening with ones all .It starts at the Ear and then goes throughout ones whole being coming deep into one's Soul , Straight From HaShem . Listening only to HaShem , means that we must not listen to or go and follow anything else . Anything that humans do that is against HaShem's Oneness , is totally wrong . Giving one's " Ear " to HaShem , Giving one's total obedience Only To HaShem's Laws , closing off one's Ear , from listening to anything else , for Only HaShem And His Torah , Are True . If we listen closely , to only HaShem , and call on His Name Only , and denounce all other beliefs , then will we be properly tuned into HaShem's Creation , of Heaven and Earth . HaShem Gave us two ears , so why is one Ear mentioned ? That is possibly because we must keep an Ear toward the one witness Shamaim Heaven , and also keep an Ear ( the other Ear ) toward Eretz Earth , and work to make them One , by making Earth , a place that Heaven can dwell . This means using our body and soul , to work toward making every moment on Earth , a Holy Moment of Obedience to HaShem And His Torah , which is how Shamaim Heaven is , and then , the two witnesses of Shamaim Heaven and Eretz Earth , can become one . This is one of the reasons we are here , to work for HaShem , keeping His Creation Holy . When we do this , it will be as though we are listening with one single " Ear " purpose , and that purpose , is HaShem . If we do that , then the secret of the Word " Haazinu " - " Give Ear , " will then show itself , for this word " Haazinu " contains the words " HaShem Az Yanu , " which means " HaShem Will Then Be With Us " This is what we are also here for , to bring HaShem's Oneness into everything . When we " Haazinu , " - " Give our Ear " to HaShem And His Oneness , and follow Only HaShem and HaShem's Torah Commandments , and when we remove all forms of idolatry , thus believing and following HaShem Only , than HaShem Will Be With us , and Creation , will then reach its intended goal , at the End of Days , with HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish HaShem With Sweetest Love , A Most Special And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Deepest Love , and to all my fellow Jews , a Most Special and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and a Meaningful Fast . To all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Blessed Shabbos Kodesh with love .

Shabbos Rosh HaShanah : - This Shabbos is Rosh HaShanah and the day after , was the First Shabbos , that was to be Eternal . It was on this date , the First of Tishrei , that HaShem Created Adam . First HaShem Made the animals , the living creatures and the creeping thing , each according to its kind . Thus HaShem Does Not Want us to mix species , for they are perfect , as HaShem Made them . By now , HaShem Had Made the Malachim , the Angels , and Turned To Them and Gave them instructions , that they would fetch and carry the souls of Human beings and Living Things , to and from where they are kept ( and sometimes they are stored in the Gaf ) and be the Messengers and Carriers for these souls that HaShem would put into man , when HaShem Himself Breathed into Adam , Life . It would be , within the human , to have a Spark of HaShem Within . Thus , Adam would have a Spiritual Essence Neshoma within , " Betzalmeinu Kidmuteinu , " - " in Our Image , after Our Likeness , " That Spiritual Essence , that is our Soul , that is Spiritual , like the Malachim , From HaShem . So , this Adam , would , by his own choices , if he chooses to listen totally to HaShem , would then be able to reach great Spiritual Heights , in coming closer to HaShem . And so , would this Creation , Adam , and his Progeny , be able to " rule over the fish of the sea , the birds of the sky , and over the animal , the whole Earth , and every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth . " For by our very choice and ability to choose the Good and the Holy , this choice , Given To us , By HaShem , would allow us to be able to grow Spiritually and make our Physicalities holier , unlike any other animal or creeping thing , Created on this day of Rosh HaShanah . And so , HaShem on His Own , Created Adam Ha Rishon , as Torah Tells It , " So G-D Created Man in His Image , in the image of G-D He Created him , male and female He created them . " Within this first being that HaShem Created , was male and female side by side , as one together-joined soul-mate . It was Adam , who when he saw how the other animals were separate physically from their partners , that he too desired to be separate , and so , HaShem , Who Had Placed Adam in Gan Eiden , Having Made him from the dust of all the World , and his head , from the dust of the Holy Land , and so HaShem Commanded him to Work the Garden and Guard it , which meant toil deeply , into Holy Learning , which is what helped things grow at the time , in this Holy Place , and to Guard it , from anything negative that might wish to enter , which referred to Samael , who did enter and tempted Chava . HaShem Commanded that of every tree in the Garden , he may freely eat ( for at the time , HaShem commanded to eat only vegetables and fruit ) , but of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad , " you must not eat thereof ; for on the day you eat of it , " Mot Tamut " you shall surely die . " Which meant that such a disobedience to G-D , would bring for man , that he will die and die , thus death would be brought into the World . Such is the consequence of Sin , for to sin , has within it as a result , a touch of death within it , in the way of , an action against HaShem's Wish , taking us further and further from the closeness of HaShem . So HaShem , at the request of Adam , to be separate from Chava , Cast a deep sleep upon him , and " Then HaShem G-D Fashioned the side that He Had Taken from the man , into a woman , and He Brought her to the man , and so was she , now more physically as was he , " bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh . " They were both " Arumim " - " Naked " , but were not ashamed , for at that time , they were not taken over by physical Yetzer Horah desires of impurity . Samael , the Malach , looked for a creature that was cunning ( also the Hebrew word " Arum " like the word for ' Naked ' - ' Arumim , ' but it's negative ) beyond any beast of the field that HaShem G-D had made . By " cunning , " which has the same Hebrew root letters as the word " Naked " this meant that he had the ability , to see a person's nakedness , not necessarily in a physical was , but was able to see within a person , to know their thoughts and what would be their weakness or temptation or need or what would fulfill them , and so , he approached the woman and questioned her , for she was near the Tree in wonder . The snake knew her need for knowledge and wanting to know more and so he approached her and appealed to her inner need to know more . He approached with with a question , " Did perhaps , G-D say : ' You shall not eat of any tree of the garden ? " And she responded , " Of the fruit of any tree of the garden we may eat . Of the fruit of the tree which is in the centre of the garden G-D has said : ' You shall neither eat of it nor touch it , lest you die . ' " So she added to the Commandment of HaShem , for HaShem Only Forbade them to eat of it . There was no Commandment Given By HaShem not to touch it , and so ( as HaShem later in Torah Warns us never to add to or subtract from His Commandments ) , by her own words she trapped herself , by the cunning of Samael within the snake , for he then pushed her physically against the tree , and she didn't die , as he continued to speak to her . In this action , of his pushing her against the Tree , he was actually forcing himself upon her , and so left an essence of his negativity within one of her yet-unborn children - Kayin , and so when she named him , referred to this offspring , as having made him with a divine being - a hint to her rape . This Kayin's progeny , came down in Naamah ( who was actually a holy woman ) , and it was this Naamah , who was the wife of Noach , and thus the Mother and Father of all living , including us , you and me . Thus within us all , is this strong Yetzer Horah , that we must fight and overcome , an action , that started out with Adam Ve Chava disobeying HaShem , for once Chava had slipped in saying that she may neither eat of it nor touch it , and when she was forced against the tree and thus touched it and nothing yet had happened , for her , who had already committed the first act of disobedience , the second act.was then easier to commit , for in seeing how nothing happened when she touched the Tree , she then reached her hand up and took of its fruit and then she ate , for her need to know more , and as the snake put it , would give her wisdom and it had already caught her eyes as a delight , she took from the tree and ate and gave also to her husband and he ate , and so , did the the Yetzer Horah enter into them and they then realized they were naked , for Physical negative desire had been awakened , and so they covered themselves with a fig leaf . They. Heard the sound of HaShem G-D manifesting Himself in the Garden and they hid . HaShem , Who Is All - Knowing and All - Seeing , Knew exactly where they were , yet gave them the opportunity to own up , and He Said , " Ayeka , " - " Where are you , " which deeply meant , that before they had both committed the Aveirah , they were both on a higher level spiritually , but now , after the Disobeyed HaShem , they realized they were now on a lower Spiritual level , and so HaShem was also pointing out to them , that though the woman thought she would increase in wisdom , in fact , disobeying HaShem , Ended up the opposite , for ' where are they now ' as if to realize that they are no longer on the higher level they were before . Both of them , the Man and the Woman kept blaming the next one . The man blamed HaShem , blaming the women " You Gave me , " when it was the man who chose to be separate from the woman . The woman blamed the snake . The snake , was the first one in Creation that Loshoned Slandered HaShem , and so , from the mouth of his that spoke against G-D , dust would now be its food , and its lying tongue that brought division , would be split , as a reminder to its deceit . The woman was given painful childbirth , which would have been painless had she not disobeyed HaShem . The man would have toil for food and suffer . And so , Death was decreed . They were banished from Gan Eiden . This was just before this day ended . So was this date of the First of Tishrei . Such a sad day , where HaShem Had Sweet Love in Creating Humans , and not a few hours before the end of this day , when HaShem Is Close To His Creation , Adam and Chava , sadly disappointed Him . It is on the First of Tishrei , that this day in Creation took place . It was on this day , that HaShem Created humans , and was thus closer to His Creation of humans than on any other day , that we disappointed HaShem . HaShem Tells us in Torah , that on Rosh HaShanah , we are to blow ( the Shofar ) as a remembrance , and so , if we take all this into account , that I have mentioned here , of what happened on this day and what HaShem Had So Hoped For , in us , we can understand , why this day would be a Remembrance For HaShem , a Remembrance for HaShem's Hopes of what HaShem Wanted Creation to be . Taking this into account , we blow the Shofar on Rosh HaShanah ( except if , as it does this year , falls on a Shabbos and so we only blow it the following day second day Rosh HaShanah this year ) , which needs to remind us as a remembrance to how much we need to Repent , since the beginning of time , and how Merciful HaShem Has Always Been to us , for through time , we had so wronged HaShem , and yet HaShem Still Hopes on us , and Speaks to our Souls . When we were at Har Sinai , the first thing we heard , was the sound of a Shofar sound waxing louder and louder and then HaShem's Voice , so this day is also a Reminder of HaShem's Covenant with us , made on Har Sinai and also the Ram's Horn of the Akeidah of Yitzchak , where we beg HaShem to forgive us , as we heartfully fervently pray on Rosh HaShanah . This is certainly a Day of Remembrance and so , if we pray fervently enough and all our Jewish people , from now on , listen to HaShem and never again disobey Hos Beautiful Commandments in Torah , then HaShem in His Comforting Forgiveness and Mercy , Will Forgive us and return us , in Remembrance , back to Gan Eiden , where we will hear the sound of the Heavenly Shofar , that will herald the sweet coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu , soon in our days , and we will then Please HaShem , and Return in total closeness and love to HaShem Again , and Creation will then be at One With It's One And Only Creator , HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I Wish Most Beloved HaShem , A Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Shanah Tovah U ' Metukah with Endless Love , and May we do our best to no longer disappoint HaShem , but Only Bring HaShem Obedience and Love and Sweetness , and to all my fellow Jews and all of Creation , Blessed Shabbos Kodesh and Shanah Tovah U ' Metukah , with love .

Parashas Nitzavim - Vayeilech : - Our Parsha this Shabbos is a double Parsha of Nitzavim - Vayeilech , and the Haftorah is Yeshayahu 61:10 - 63:9 , speaking of the Redemption of Israel , one of the Haftorahs of consolation , before Rosh HaShanah . The Sedras start out with Parshas Nitzavim , where Moshe reminds us that we are all standing before HaShem today , that day , men , women , children , heads of the Tribes , elders and officers and proselytes and also the water drawers , to pass into the Covenant of HaShem our G-D . Our Rabbonim note that this is a renewal of the previous Covenant made at Har Sinai . HaShem establishes us Jews , as a people unto HaShem . This included , not only those alive in that day , but HaShem Brought the Neshomas of all Jews through time , past , present and future , to this moment , to enter into this renewed Covenant , with HaShem . The " hewers of wood to the drawers of water , " referred to here , were Canaanites , whom Moshe did not trust their sincerity and so , did not allow them conversion , but gave them a task still , as hewers of wood and drawers of water . They had pretended to be from a far off land , for they knew those close Canaanites were set for destruction , and so pretended to want to join us . This is similar to what happened in Yehoshuah Joshuah's time , when the Gibeonites also approached Joshua and deceived him , and so Joshuah also gave them the same task as Moshe . In Dovid Ha Melech's time , these very Gibeonites demanded the lives of some Saul's children , for they felt that they had been affected when Saul had killed the Priests of Nov , who used to assist them with food , and a famine had ensued , and so , the only thing that was cruelly satisfy their lust for revenge against this action , was to have Saul's family members hanged and only then did the famine stop . Due to the cruelty of the Gibeonites , Dovid Ha Malech , stopped the Gibeonite encroachment into our people , and completely forbid their conversion . Such cruelty should not be accepted into our Nation , from another cruel people , as were the Gibeonites . Moshe warns against Idolatry , and the detestable idol following actions of the nations , and Moshe warns strongly against it , even referring to some that were in front of him at the time , that HaShem Let him know , were secretly carrying little miniature idols on their person . Moshe warns of the Imprecation From HaShem , That HaShem Will Send on that person or persons . Moshe Tells us how the other nations will ask and be told when they see our punishment , that this be the result of forsaking the Covenant and of idolworship . Though HaShem Will Love us With A Forever Love , And Will Never Forsake us and Redeem us In The End , as our Haftorah Teaches . Not just our Haftorah Teaches this , but this Parsha Teaches us this too , For HaShem Then Says that after our punishment , when we are sent into Galus Exile , HaShem Will Take us from out of these Nations , And Bring us Back From our captivity , Having Mercy Upon us , , Gathering us From all the peoples , Where HaShem Scattered us , and all the Imprecations that HaShem Mentioned , will then be placed upon our enemies , that have hurt us and mocked us and insulted us and tortured and killed us , through time . Any person that has ever through time , ever hurt a Jew , in any way , will then , suffer severely the consequences , of their evil action against us . None , from the Nations will escape HaShem . Then will we Jews hearken to HaShem And His Commandments , And So Will HaShem , Bless us in all our handiwork , in the fruit of the womb , the fruit of the animals and the fruit of the Land . So Will HaShem Return To our fellow Jews and People , when we listen to the Voice Of HaShem our G-D , to observe His Commandments and His Decrees , that are written in this Book of the Torah , when we will return to HaShem our G-D , with all our heart and all our soul . HaShem Through Moshe Reminds us that HaShem's Commandments of the Torah , are not hidden from us , for HaShem Revealed His Holy Torah to us , At Har Sinai , for the Torah that was written two thousand years before Creation , waited till Har Sinai , for HaShem To Reveal It . The Torah is not distant , but very near us , within our heart and soul , to do It . The Torah is not anymore just in Heaven , where It waited all the years to be brought down to us at Har Sinai , but is now and since Har Sinai , very near us , on Earth , for us to keep It . Though if it was in Heaven , we would be obligated , to earn our way there , so that we can go up and be at one with the Torah . The Torah is not across the sea only , so that we can wonder how we can go far away to keep It , but if It was in a distant , land ,we would be obligated to go as far as far can be , to make an effort to be at one with It . For As HaShem In Torah Says , " Rather The Matter ( The Torah ) Is very near to you - in your mouth and your heart - to perform It . " HaShem Through Moshe Again Reminds us that to keep the Torah , is Life , not to keep is death and evil . We are to love HaShem our G-D , to walk in His Ways , to observe His Commandments , His Decrees and His Ordinances , for then will we live and multiply HaShem Will Bless us , in the Land to which we come to possess it . But if our hearts stray and we don't listen and are led astray ( by foreign Nation's ways ) and we prostrate ourselves to their strange deities and beliefs and serve their deities ( whether objects of deified men or anything else but HaShem or anything but HaShem Alone ) , Chas Ve Shalom , then will be surely lost ( which happens to a Jew and his or her family after him or her , when that Jew strays ) their days will not be lengthened upon the Land That HaShem Gives us . Moshe calls ( seeing that two witnesses are needed ) Heaven and Earth as witnesses , to watch all we do , and Through What HaShem Will Use , To Either Bless us or Punish us . For By Heaven's Blessings From HaShem , HaShem Can Bless us , or through Earth's Physicalities and necessities of body , HaShem Can Punish us . HaShem Thus Places Before us , Life and death , Blessing and Curse , and HaShem so desperately wants us to " choose life , so that you will live , you and your offspring - to love HaShem your G-D , to listen to His Voice and to cleave to Him , for He Is your Life and the Length Of your Days , to dwell upon the Land That HaShem Swore To your ForeFathers , To Avraham , To Yitzchak , and To Yaakov , To Give Them ." So ends this Sedra of Nitzavim . The Sedra of Vayeilech , Starts by Telling us how Moshe finished his Beautiful Talk to us then and told us how he is now One Hundred And Twenty Years Old Today , and can no longer go out and come in , " for HaShem Has Said To me , ' You shall not cross this Jordan . ' " HaShem Will Have Yehoshuah Lead us into Canaan , destroying the nations before us there for us to possess this Land of Israel , ours Given By G-D Himself , To The Jews . It is not that Moshe did not have the strength to ' go out and come in , ' for as HaShem Tells us later in Torah ,that ' his strength was not abated ' but he no longer had Permission By HaShem , to Continue after this point . Moshe had reached the age of a Tzaddik , as HaShem Spoke in the Book of Bereishis , of the Age of a Tzaddik . Moshe summoned Yehoshuah and said for him to be " strong and courageous , " for he will lead the people for HaShem , to the Land That HaShem Swore To Give us and inherit , where Yehoshuah " shall cause them to inherit it , where Yehoshuah will stand with the People and Fight the Wars of HaShem , to Gain the Land . " Moshe Tells Yehoshuah , How HaShem Will Be With him , Walking Before him . Our Rabbonim teach us that Moshe wrote this Torah on his last day and gave it to the Kohanim , the sons of Levi , bearers of the Ark of the Covenant of HaShem , and to all the elders of Israel , for Moshe wrote for each Tribe , a separate copy of the Torah and another one , which he Gave to the Kohanim , for safekeeping , that all other copies of the Torah may be compared to His Kohanim-Kept Copy , for all time , for exactness and Truth . so on Moshe's last day , he wrote thirteen Torahs , one for each Tribe and the one that he gave to the Kohanim for safe-keeping . Moshe Commands that at the end of seven years , just after the time of the Shemittah Year , during the Succos Festival , when all Israel comes to appear before HaShem our G-D , in the vicinity of the Temple , all the people shall be gathered , men , women and small children , and the Ger in our cities , to hear and come and learn and fear HaShem our G-D to be careful to perform all the words of This Torah . This was the ' Hakhel , ' the public reading of this book of Devarim , by the King of Israel , to all . Our Rabbis teach that HaShem Also Made a Command to bring the children , not just that they may grow into Torah Observant Jews , but also , seeing that parents would have brought their children along anyway , the Command would also give parents an opportunity for the very Mitzvah of Obeying Hashem , in the Commandment of bringing the children . This opportunity for a Mitzvah , that we would do even if not commanded , shows HaShem ' s Love For us . HaShem Then Told Moshe of his days drawing near to pass and to summon Yehoshuah , and for both to stand in the Tent of Meeting. , where HaShem Would Instruct him , and so they obeyed . HaShem Appeared in the Tent of Meeeting , in a pillar of cloud . HaShem warned how after Moshe's passing , the people would stray after foreign ways and deities , and How HaShem Would be angry with us and Conceal Himself From us , For A Time , and during that time , we would become prey to other nations and distressed . HaShem Tells Moshe to write the Song , which is thew Song of Haazinu , in the second last Sedra of The Torah . HaShem Tells then that He Would Bring us To the Land , He swore to Give our ForeFathers , a Land flowing with Milk and Honey , The Sweetness of Torah , and how we will Be Blessed With Abundance , and sadly forget HaShem , and follow and serve foreign ways and deities , provoking HaShem , and so will distresses come upon us , and how Moshe's Song of Haazinu , will be a testament of HaShem's Covenant we are to stick to and how , not listening to HaShem , brings us distress . When Moshe finished writing the words of this Torah onto a book , until its conclusion , Moshe commanded the Levites , bearers of the Ark of the Covenant of HaShem , to take this Book of the Torah and place it at the side of the Ark of the Covenant of HaShem , and it shall be there and a witness . Moshe ends this Sedra by saying , " Moses spoke the words of this song into the ears of the entire congregation of Israel , until their conclusion . " So ends this Sedra Parsha . Our Parshas of " Nitzavim " and " Vayeilech " both speak of Keeping HaShem's Commandments . The Parsha of " Nitzavim " and " Vayeilech " speaks of " Standing " and " Going " and put together , HaShem Is Asking us to " Go " from our own ways , and " Stand " before HaShem , following only HaShem's Ways . When must we " Go " from our own ways and " Stand " before HaShem , " following only His Ways ? At all times , for at all times , the Yetzer Horah , tries to get us to " Go " away from HaShem , " but Parashas " Nitzavim " Gives us the helping hint , of how to beat the Yetzer Horah , that attempts to pull us away from the right Path , and that hint , to beat the Yetzer Horah is to remember , that at all times , wherever we are , we are always " Nitzavim , " - " Standing " before HaShem . We may think we are alone , but we never ever are . At all times , HaShem Is There , and so , at all times , we are " Nitzavim " - " Standing " before HaShem , " and thus we must conduct ourselves with proper obedience to HaShem . When HaShem Said in Parashas " Nitzavim , " that we are " Standing " before Him " Today , " that " Today " is Every Day . For Every Day , we " Stand " Before HaShem , and account for ourselves , even though we may not realize it . So to " Nitzavim " - " Stand " before HaShem , we must " Vayeilech " - " Go " out from ourselves and the pull of the Yetzer Horah , for before us , at every instant , Stands HaShem ,Watching every move we make and every thought we have . To HaShem , time is beyond Eternal , where for us , time is , relative to past , present and future . So from HaShem's Point of View , When HaShem Reminds us that we are " Nitzavim " - " Standing " before Him , all those years ago , To HaShem and True Reality , you , me and all us Jews ( for it said that Jews past , present and future stood then before HaShem ) , are in reality Standing there , before HaShem , Within That Very Covenant . The Same is with every Festival we celebrate . In reality , what was the Beauty of the Emotions of that Festival starting Point , is Happening at every Festival we celebrate . This could be a deeper reason , for why at Pesach , we say that not just our ForeFathers , but us as well , are redeemed from slavery , so must we lean as freed-from-slavery people , at the Seder . To HaShem , Time is a Creation , like all others things in Creation . So when we " Vayeilech " - " Go " out from our own Yetzer Horah and " Nitzavim " Stand " before HaShem , in those days , in reality , we are still " Standing " before HaShem Today . As with Har Sinai and HaShem's Revelation , where there too , we were all brought from the past , present and future , to agree to the Covenant of Torah Law , so is it binding on each one of us today and beyond , fro we were all brought there to be a part of it , for even today , we still Stand at the Foot of Har Sinai , with HaShem Before us , as we hold fast and strong to HaShem , in Faithfulness and Love , to a Covenant that we all entered into , with HaShem , with Obedience and Love . HaShem's Voice Is Never Ending , so When HaShem Speaks , His Voice Carries Through our Created Time , Till today And Beyond , and if we truly listen closely and realize , that Spiritually , we are still with HaShem , Hearing His Voice At Har Sinai , we can hear His Voice Reaching us from then , to Within us . When today , we might ask a question on a Torah point and we feel later on an answer coming into our soul , that could also be HaShem's Voice , Answering our question from Har Sinai , for He Knew , that even generations later , that today , we would ask that question . HaShem's Voice Is Sweetly Never-Ending , and so if we listen closely enough and " Vayeilech " - " Go " out from ourselves and our own wishes and Yetzer Horah , and " Vayeilech " - l Go " Only Toward HaShem And His Torah , Then we will hear HaShem Sweetly and Lovingly Close , for at all times , we " Nitzavim " - " Stand " before our Beloved HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem , The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish HaShem With Utmost And Forever Love , A Most Beautiful And Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Eternal Love , and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh with love .

Parashas Ki Savo :- Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas " Ki Savo " and this Parsha is a beautiful continuation of the last Parsha , as I explained in the last Parsha , where in the last Parsha , " Ki Seitzei , " if one goes out from HaShem , Chas Ve Shalom , one is certainly not Blessed , but if one " Ki Savo , " Enters into or comes close to HaShem , one Is Sweetly Blessed . The Haftorah for this Parsha is Yeshayahu Isaiah 60 : 1 - 22 , which starts speaking of how HaShem Returns to us And Shines Upon us , such a fitting Response From HaShem , when we " Ki Savo , " - " Enter Back Into , " HaShem's Commandments and Love . And so , this Parsha starts , by telling us that when we " Ki Savo , " - " Enter " the Land That HaShem our G-D Gives us , as an inheritance and when we possess it and dwell in it , that we are to take the First Fruits and bring them as to the Place that HaShem Chooses , coming to the Kohein in the days we bring it and say a declaration , written in this Parsha Devarim 26 : verses 5 - 10 . The beautiful procession that people used to make to Yerushalaim , with their baskets was a magnificent thing to behold , as they walked in procession , playing their flutes and lyres and singing along the way. They would be very careful , not to stay within lodgings , along the way , lest there be contamination within the lodging , and this would contaminate their First Fruits . There was a special order that the First-Fruits , Bikkurim , were put in , in the baskets . Chazal say that these Bikkurim comprised the seven species for which Eretz Yisrael is Blessed with , which are Grapes , Figs , Pomegranates , Dates , Wheat , Barley and Olives . As the procession neared a city , people in that city would go out to welcome the travelers as they passed , with song and dance and blessings . This would take place from city to city , until the procession arrived on the outskirts of Yerushalaim , when people from the Holy City would go out in lines , to welcome them . When the travelers come to the Temple , they are to make the declaration as stated , before the Kohein and so give their Bikkurim and thank HaShem for watching over us and making us a great and numerous nation and hearing our afflictions , taking us out of Mitzrayim With a Strong Hand And Outstretched Arm , With Great Awesomeness and With Signs and Wonders and Bringing us to Eretz Yisrael and Giving us This Land , a Land that flows with Milk and Honey , and thanking HaShem , when we bring the Bikkurim of our Land that HaShem Gave us . The Bikkurim , is so very holy a concept , for , like Judaism , that it is a part of , it teaches how all things come from HaShem , and HaShem Comes First , in all things , where a farmer , who waited years for his crops and fruit to grow , as soon as it does , and the first of the fruits blossom , he ties a ribbon around the branch to designate that blossom fruit as First Fruit , and so puts his own want aside and long wait for the fruit to grow , and Remembers HaShem First , To Whom , is due the First Fruits of his Blessings From HaShem . The travelers would spend the night in Yerushalaim and so , take in the Holiness of the Temple Surroundings , the Avodah Work of the Kohanim , and the Holiness of the Holy City . HaShem Then Talks of Ma'aser Tithes and the declaration made when giving Ma'aser . HaShem Wants us to be with Him , inseparable from Him , and thus must we be holy , keeping His Commandments and Statutes Always and forever walking in His Ways , observing His Decrees , His Commandments and His Statutes , and Hearkening to His Voice . HaShem Distinguished us to be for Him , a treasured people , as He Spike To us , to observe His Commandments , for HaShem Made us supreme over all the nations That HaShem Made ( Devarim 26 : 19 ) , for praise , for renown and for splendor , and so that we " will be a holy people to HaShem , " our " G-D , as He Spoke . " HaShem Commands , that when we go over the Jordan , we are to set up large stones and coat them with plaster , and upon these stones , was commanded that we put the stones , all the words of this Torah . That was quite a miracle , for to fit the entire Torah on these stones , was only a feat , that HaShem Could Accomplish . Our Rabbonim discuss this point in detail , some thinking that it was the Taryag Mitzvos , the enumeration of the 613 Commandments of the Torah that were put on these stones . Other Rabbonim think it may have been the Blessings and the Curses , that still are to follow , in this Parsha . But , with HaShem , all things are possible , and so , if Moshe was Commanded , that that all the words of this Torah , were to be inscribed on the stones , then HaShem Would Make it possible , that the entire Holy Torah , could be inscribed upon them . No doubt , when Yehoshuah Joshua led us From HaShem over the Jordan , he obeyed HaShem directly , and these stones stood as a testimony that who ever enters the Land of Israel , is to strictly keep HaShem's Torah and every Commandment within It . For these stones were put at the entry to Israel . Israel is to be a Land that Forever , its inhabitants keep the Torah . Our Rabbonim say , that the Torah was also , on these stones , put in all the 70 languages of the nations , so they too , could follow HaShem's Word , and know that staying in the Holy Land , meant strictly adhering to HaShem's Forever Unchanging Laws . Some of the people from the other nations , came to view these stones at the time , and even copied / noted down , the Laws written on them , for HaShem Tells us , that His Laws are forever and to those who wanted to be faithful to HaShem , need know HaShem's Wish . Our Rabbis teach us that the stones were coated with plaster , in case the other nations may come and try to change the Laws that were inscribed on them . It is only to HaShem , and His Voice that we are to hearken and it is only HaShem's Laws and Commands and Decrees , that we are to obey . HaShem Then Commands , that when we enter the Land of Eretz Yisrael , that we are to stand Six Tribes on Mount Gerizim to bless the people and Six Tribes on Mount Eival , standing for the curse , while the Levites remain down in the valley in between these two Mountains at the entry into Eretz Yisrael , and the Levites shall speak up and say to both the set of Six Tribes , who are to repeat the words written here in this section of the Torah , which was first said as a Blessing for those that keep the verse mentioned , and then said as an " Accursed , " for those who don't . Our Rabbonim teach us that these specific Blessings and Curses mentioned , are those that tend to be very easy to commit as Aveirahs , and that also , these specific ones mentioned , are also those Aveirahs that can be committed in secret , that only HaShem Would Know , and seeing as HaShem Knows all , HaShem , Would Thus Bring About , the Blessing for upholding these , and the punishment for breaking these . So , every one of us , has acknowledged to HaShem , that we know that we will be Blessed By HaShem , for keeping His Commandments , and bring down upon ourselves a curse , should we stray from HaShem and His Commandments . It is after this section of this Parasha , that HaShem Mentions all the Brochas Blessings that will come upon us if we hearken to HaShem and His Commandments , and the Tochachah Admonitions, lest we don't listen to HaShem and His Commandments . The more we don't listen , the worse becomes our punishment , for the further away we travel from HaShem , the colder we spiritually make ourselves , and the further away we go from HaShem's Blessings and Protection . Thus we ourselves , bring about the curse that comes by the path that goes away from HaShem's Commandments and Ways . We not that in history , so many of these Tochachah took place , a lot of them , at the time of Rome , when Rome came upon us , when our kings strayed , for generations . HaShem Brought Upon us , at the time , the result of our negative choices . But even though , we wrong HaShem , and He Sends us punishments , within each punishment , even though we would Get Greater Protection From HaShem , if we wouldn't stray , with HaShem's Merciful Love Always , there is a hidden Blessing even in our hardship and punishment , for in our exile as Jews , we can never be totally destroyed by our enemies , for when we are scattered , we can never be destroyed by a nation's antisemitism , for we Jews survive elsewhere . Also , in our punishment , we get to atone , and hopefully still get the opportunity to work off our Aveirahs and so , be redeemed at the Eternal End Of Days . HaShem With Moshe , ends the Parsha reminding us how we have seen everything that HaShem Did before our eyes in Mitzrayim , to Par'o and all his servants and land , and all the Miracles That HaShem Performed , how Moshe led us for forty years in Bamidbar , and Miraculously , From HaShem , how our garment did not wear out and nor did our shoes from on our foot , and how we arrived at this place where Moshe is speaking , on the borders of the Holy Land and how HaShem Saved us from Sichon and Og and How HaShem Gave us their land as an inheritance to the Reubenite , the Gadite and to half the Tribe of the Manassite . HaShem Through Moshe ends this Sedra by saying , " You shall observe the words of this covenant , so that you will succeed in all that you do . " This is the secret to life , to observe forever , HaShem's Covenant and Laws forever , no matter how many others try falsely persuade us that things have changed . They have not . The Laws Of HaShem , The Torah of HaShem , is Forever and Ever , never to change . So ends the Parsha . As our previous Parsha and this Parsha teaches us , to go out from " Ki Seitzei " HaShem , is to bring upon us a lack of Brochas , but to come into and come closer to , entering into HaShem's Ways , " Ki Savo , " Brings with it , bountiful Brochas . So agai we are reminded of the choice put before us , that the last few Parshas have been teaching us . There is always a choice . If we follow HaShem , we Receive His Beautiful Blessings , but if we choose to turn away from HaShem , we are denied His Beautiful Blessings . How totally fair is HaShem . This choice , has been given to us since the beginning of Creation , when HaShem Created Heaven and Earth , a place for Blessings - Heaven , and a place of test and to earn Blessings , where on Earth , we get to choose positive or negative ways to live . The Choice is always before us - just like it was for Adam Ve Chavah , to either listen to HaShem and receive Shamaim Heaven , or to disobey HaShem , Chas Ve Shalom , and so , get punished and go into exile , further away from HaShem's Closeness , which is Earth . This choice From HaShem , has always been with us , since the Beginning . This choice was again clearly made to us when we entered the Land of Israel , and had to stand on two Mountains . The very names of the Mountains show us this . The Mountain on which was for the Blessings , was Mount Gerizim . The Hebrew word ' Garuz ' means , ' Greasing , ' ( Zilberman Dictionary ) and refers to the Blessings of Oil , that gets put on certain offerings and as we know , richness and abundance comes from the possession of Oil , as we know Asher's Tribe was Blessed with Olive Trees and Olive Oil , A Great Blessing From HaShem . Oil , like Olive Oil that is sweet , is also like being Showered With HaShem's Sweet Love . Oil also , is also reminiscent of the Holy Anointment Oil , which is as if to say , we Jews , if we keep HaShem's Commandments , Are Blessed And Anointed Into HaShem's Holy Service .The other Mountain on the other hand where the curses stood for , was Mount Eival , where , if we look into the Hebrew of this word , it spells , ' Ei ' and ' ' Bal , ' where ' Ei ' refers to the ' Eye of ' and ' Bal ' means either ' Do Not / or Without ' ( ' Be'lo ' ) ( Zilberman Dictionary ) , for being cursed , and not Blessed is certainly a reminder of the Things HaShem Said to us ' Do Not ' do , and not receiving HaShem's Blessings , is certainly doing ' Without ' them .So here again , even on the Mountains that are peaks that would appear to be places that go higher , than the Valley in between , where he Levites would stay , even these Mountain's names , give testimony , to HaShem Telling us that if we listen to and hearken to all HaShem Tells us to do and Keep HaShem's Commandments , then we will be Blessed , but if we disobey , and not listen to HaShem's Commandments , then we will most certainly lose the opportunity From HaShem , Of His Many Beautiful Brochas Blessings . We can either choose to step closer every moment to HaShem , or we can waste our lives , by straying , and thus waste the Beautiful Holy Opportunity for Life , That HaShem Has Given us . The Choice is ours and so is the result that follows it . So let us really choose wisely , and never waste a single moment of the life That HaShem Has Given us , to grow into the Holy Creations , That HaShem Made us to be , and forever , follow HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He , always with Love and Faithfulness , and so , do our part , in completing Creation's Intention for us , and so , be forever living , within and in Gan Eiden , and The End Of Days , with HaShem . Each of our steps , we take , can either lead to Shamaim Heaven , or away from it . The choice is and has always been ours . So let us make very sure , that each step that we do take , always leads toward our Beloved and Ever Loving HaShem . I wish HaShem With Sweetest Love , a Most Special And Ever Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Love , and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Special and Ever Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .
