Parsha Va’etchanan 5769 — Consolation: In Historical Context After Expulsion by Israeli Governance?

.

by Moshe Burt

The Haftorah for our Parsha begins, “Nachamu, Nachamu Ami yomar Elokeichem” — “Comfort, comfort my people — says your G’d.” (Yishaiya, 40:1) This sentiment seems to be silent, but yet a theme of Parsha Va’etchanan.

In the beginning of Parsha, Moshe Rabbeinu recalls for the B’nai Yisrael how he entreated Hashem for permission to cross the Jordan River but that his request was denied. Instead, he was consoled by viewing the Land from Mount Pisgah. (L’lmod Ul’Lamed – Parsha Va’etchanan, page 161) read more

Alleged “Child Abuse” Charges: Coincidental Timing or Regime Revenge on Hareidim Over Parking Lot?

Something smelled rotten in the Israeli secular media’s opportunistic, agendized field day bashing the Hareidim, and the Jewish Torah, over alleged “child abuse” charges against a Jerusalem Hareidi Mother.

The stinking stench of these media accusations and police actions against the child’s Mother seem to be confirmed in this report on the matter by The Jerusalem Post’s Matthew Wagner:

Out of a deep feeling that the secular public is out to vilify and persecute them, the entire haredi public – from the most extreme and insular hassidic sects to the most mainstream elements – formed a united front over the weekend to support the Jerusalem mother who allegedly starved her three-year-old boy. read more

Devarim 5769: Seeking and Bringing True Jewish Leadership and it’s Applications

.

by Moshe Burt

A number of years ago, Rav Aba Wagensberg spoke out in a shiur that Sefer Devarim represents Moshe Rabbeinu’s Mussar to B’nai Yisrael as the time of his death drew near.

He explained that near the end of Sefer BaMidbar, we began to see indications, via the story of Zelafchad’s daughters, Reuven and Gad’s desire to settle east of the Jordan, etc., that the B’nai Yisrael finally desired to accept Moshe Rabbeinu’s teachings and his Mussar which was meant to bring about the perfection of the Jewish people in emulation of the ways of Hashem as they were about to enter Eretz Yisrael. read more
