We're back! Reboot #5 is complete. Let's hope it's done the job and we now remain open! For our family, coming out of lockdown on Tuesday allowed for the marriage of Rivki's brother, Menachem to Talia, the following day. Not knowing what the restrictions would be, it was literally organised in 12 hours - and was absolutely beautiful! Despite the uncertainty of the last few weeks, having to postpone the date, change plans, providers and venues, withdraw invitations and not being able to have dancing, the Bride & Groom displayed incredible resilience, optimism, joy and faith through it all - Truly inspiring! I have no doubt it will stand them in good stead for a long, happy and healthy life together. Mazal Tov to families Procel and Steinberg! On the Shule front, now that we're open, we can once again host Simchas and we look forward to the Rose Bar Mitzvah this Shabbat. May we continue to celebrate life's precious moments with one another, in person and in good health. Shabbat Shalom! |

This week's PARSHA is Eikev (Deuteronomy 7:12–11:25) In the Parshah of Eikev (“Because”), Moses continues his closing address to the children of Israel, promising them that if they will fulfill the commandments (mitzvot) of the Torah, they will prosper in the Land they are about to conquer and settle in keeping with G‑d’s promise to their forefathers. Moses also rebukes them for their failings in their first generation as a people, recalling their worship of the Golden Calf, the rebellion of Korach, the sin of the spies, their angering of G‑d at Taveirah, Massah and Kivrot Hataavah. “You have been rebellious against G‑d,” he says to them, “since the day I knew you.” But he also speaks of G‑d’s forgiveness of their sins, and the Second Tablets which G‑d inscribed and gave to them following their repentance. Their forty years in the desert, says Moses to the people, during which G‑d sustained them with daily manna from heaven, was to teach them “that man does not live on bread alone, but by the utterance of G‑d’s mouth does man live.” Moses describes the land they are about to enter as “flowing with milk and honey,” blessed with the “seven kinds” (wheat, barley, grapevines, figs, pomegranates, olive oil and dates), and as the place that is the focus of G‑d’s providence of His world. He commands them to destroy the idols of the land’s former masters, and to beware lest they become haughty and begin to believe that “my power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.” A key passage in our Parshah is the second chapter of the Shema, which repeats the fundamental mitzvot enumerated in the Shema’s first chapter, and describes the rewards of fulfilling G‑d’s commandments. It is also the source of the precept of prayer. Click here to explore the Parsha. |
