Torah Portion "דברים/Devarim" which means "Words," delivered on August 6, 2022.This week's portion covers Deuteronomy/Devarim 1:1-3:22, and begins, "These are the words Moshe spoke to all Isra’el on the far side of the Yarden River, in the desert, in the ‘Aravah, across from Suf, between Pa’ran and Tofel, Lavan, Hatzerot and Di-Zahav. It is eleven days’ journey from Horev to Kadesh-Barnea by way of Mount Se‘ir."The people of Israel are on the cusp of entering the promise given to Abraham over 400 years earlier and yet they need a pep talk from Moses. What are the three “eichas” that Ro'eh covers in this lesson? “Eicha” = alas, how, and with the same letters but pronounced differently, where. Why is complacency a snare? How can we overcome it? What happens if we don’t? What caused the people of Israel to be a “burden” to Moses? Are we a similar burden to Our Father? Are we satisfied with thestatus quo (dayenu) and therefore lack the zeal to enter into the promises of Hashem? How can we balance contentment and patience with strength, zeal and wisdom?This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Ro'eh Richard from Isaiah 1:1-27, and the New Covenant teaching is delivered by Brother Mark from John 15:1-11.Please join us each week as we dig deep into scripture to learn more about who our God is, and reveal the Messiah throughout the Old Testament.Ro'eh Richard CortesThe Foundation of The Word Outreach Ministrieswww.thefoundationoftheword.orgAaronic Priestly Blessing performed by Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries https://wisdomintorah.com and used by permission.
