Va’etchanan (I Pleaded) D’Varim (Deut.) 3:23-7:11

Torah Portion Va’etchanan (I Pleaded) D’Varim (Deut.) 3:23-7:11

Haftorah Reading: Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 40:1-26

Tonight in our Torah reading we cover two major statements that should speak to us. In the first one we read of Moshe going over the Ten Commandments again. I think he did this, at least partially, for the people who had not been there when G-d first spoke these words back in the book of Shemot/Exodus. He also delivered the Shema in D’Varim/Deut. 6:4-9.  These verses teach us that G-d should be present in our conversations, thoughts and actions thru out the day, while we are home with our families and when we are out in the work world.
