In this week's portion, Moses recounts the essence of the Covenant between God and the People of Israel, which they are to obey as they enter the land.
He reminds them that he is to be punished by not entering the land -- though God will show him the entire Land of Israel before he dies. Similarly, Moses tells the people about the End of Days -- the whole sweep of history until the time of redemption -- knowing that his immediate audience will not witness it.
This portion is accompanied by an additional reading, or Haftarah, from Isaiah chapter 40: "Be comforted, be comforted, my people." It is the first of a series of readings of comfort after the agony of Tisha B'Av. As we look toward the Jewish New Year in just over six weeks or so, we begin to prepare ourselves -- and to savor the opportunity for repentance and renewal, as well as simply the chance to enjoy the beautiful world that God created for us to share.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
