This week, the weekly Torah
reading Devarim, begins the Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the Five Books of Moses. Moses begins his final monologue, five weeks before his passing. He recounts the story of the Israelite's travel through the desert, placing emphasis on, and rebuking them for, the story of the spies. He describes Israel's conquest of the Emorites and the Bashanites.

In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Devarim Deuteronomy 1:1 – 3:22, On the first of Shevat (thirty-seven days before his passing), Moses begins his repetition of the Torah to the assembled children of Israel, reviewing the events that occurred and the laws that were given in the
course of their forty-year journey from Egypt to Sinai to the Promised Land, rebuking the people for their failings and iniquities, and enjoining them to keep the Torah and observe its commandments in the land that God is giving them as an eternal heritage, into which they shall cross after his death.
In this week’s Haftara Prophets
reading Isaiah 1:1 – 1:27, the third of a series of three “haftarot of affliction.” These three haftarot are read during the Three Weeks of mourning for Jerusalem, between the fasts of 17 Tammuz and 9 Av.

This week, we feature a question from our student Sharon who was asking Rabbi Gedalia Meyer about the Paradise Lost. Gracefully Rabbi Gedalia Meyer answered the questions.
Sharon asked:
You make it clear, at the end of this lesson, that “there is always a way back.”
What does Judaism teach about the after-Eden lifestyle, accomplishments, ‘start-up’ of Adam and Chavah? If the Hebrew “shuv-I” can be defined as “to come back home,” did they
accomplish that goal? Is “repentance” a part of that goal, and what does Judaism teach about Chavah and Adam, with regard to repentance? Job 34:11 and other references say G-d rewards to each according to their works: in Judaism, how is that integrated into “coming back”? I really hunger to know more about Eternal rewards of The Almighty, the age-to-come and how to invest in it!
"Wow! I love a great mystery and this certainly is one!" |
Our student Yvone enjoyed Root Source lessons and had this to say.
Yvone wrote: Wow! I love a great mystery and this certainly is one! It does make one wonder why God gives us this small bit of information but not enough to give us understanding. Thank you for sharing the
Jewish views. I am enjoying your channel and gleaning a lot of information that enriches my love and understanding of God's Word.
