V'zot Ha'Bracha

Ardelle Brody

Shalom! Again, we have completed another cycle of Torah reading.  V'zot Ha'bracha (commentary here) is unique because it is not traditionally read on Shabbat.  Instead, as the last parasha of the Torah, it is read on Shemini Atzeret (the 8th day).  The moment we finish reading the last verse of Devarim, we return to the front of the Torah and read the first chapter of Bereshith (Genesis)!  Thus the cycle of Torah never ends.

Nitzavim

Ardelle Brody

Shalom! The Parasha of Nitzavim includes many fundamental principles for YHWH's Kingdom plan.  At the beginning of our reading, we see the people of Israel unified and ready to enter into covenant with the Almighty.  If everything could have just continued with a "happily ever after" ending...   But Moshe will find it necessary to alert them to the dangers of abandoning His instructions.  Curses, exile, repentance, restoration, and return to the...
