Torah Portion - Ekev: (Deuteronomy 7:12–11:25) - Blessings for Obedience by Shawn Ozbun

The Torah is the beginning of parashat Ekev promises the most beautiful rewards to those who adhere to the mitzvot . Rashi writes there that the Torah is speaking about the mitzvot that people trample upon and don't give enough respect to. Every mitzvah is such a treasure and, unfortunately, sometimes we take them for granted and don't treat them with the respect that is befitting them. Recently, a student of mine told me that he had allocated money for tzedaka and asked me if I could recommend a few people to give to. I thought of a friend of mine who is a mashgiach in a yeshiva in Israel and has a very large family. I knew he needed the help. I called to tell him of the money he was going to receive and he said, very excitedly, "Baruch Hashem, there's more to this story," which he proceeded to share with me. He said, like many others he is struggling with parnasa and on Shabbat Parashat Ekev , he read a story about a man who was also struggling with parnasa and he took upon himself to say Birkat HaMazon with kavana and very quickly his fortunes changed. My friend said to himself after reading that story, he had not been treating Birkat HaMazon the way it should be treated. He generally looks to avoid eating hamotzi and prefers mezonot instead. He felt like that was an insult to Birkat HaMazon . So from that day forward, he accepted upon himself not only to have more kavana when saying it, but to make sure to eat bread for breakfast every single day and have the zechut to say Birkat HaMazon . His wife is an excellent school teacher, but hasn't been able to find a job for the last three years, partly because schools generally want teachers there by 8:00 am, but because he has to be in yeshiva early, she has to send the little children off to school and can't start work until 9:00. Eight days after his kabbala , his wife received a phone call from a school asking if she would be willing to be their 5 th grade teacher for this year. This was on September 1, just days before school was starting. She told them she would love to but she wouldn't be able to get there until 9:00. Because they needed her so badly, they accepted her anyway. And just like that, after three long years, she had a great job. A few days after that is when I called him and told him out of nowhere he was getting thousands of dollars. That's when he told me about his kabbala to say Birkat HaMazon with kavana and to stop trampling on it and give it the respect it deserves. He added that last week his wife went to a resume specialist to see if she could somehow improve hers. The specialist told her she did it all wrong and would never get a job with that resume. She didn't even get a chance to fix it yet and, with the poor resume, she still got that job. Our mitzvot are wondrous. The more respect we treat them with, the more blessing we get in return.

התוכן על השאלה מדוע מתחלת המשנה ב"מאימתי קורין את שמע בערבין" ולא בשחרית, מתרצת הגמ' ד"יליף מברייתו של עולם דכתיב ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום אחד". אבל מדוע היתה בריאת העולם כך? אלא זוהי הוראה: כאשר האדם מסתכל ורואה את חושך העולם, ושואל א"ע: מה יכול הוא, איש א', לפעול בעולם כזה?! אומרת התורה שזהו הסדר שה' קבע כבר בתחלת הבריאה – ש"ערב" ו"חושך" בא לפני "בוקר" ו"אור", ושיהודי ע"י עבודתו יאיר את החושך. והתחלת עבודתו (ב"תורה שבע"פ") בזה הוא – ק"ש! שפסוק הא' הוא – "שמע ישראל ה' אלקינו ה' אחד": ה' נותן את הכח לכל יהודי לפעול שבכל דבר יהא ניכר שנברא ע"י ה' – "ה' אחד", ופועל זאת ב-ח' וב-ד'. וזה נותן לו את התוקף לא לפחד מהעולם, אלא להסתכל עליו כמקום שבו יש לעשות לו ית' דירה בתחתונים. ועד"ז בנוגע ה"ערבין" של ירידת הנשמה בגוף, שאי"ז ח"ו כדי לצער את הנשמה, אלא כדי לפעול עי"ז ענין ה"קריאת-שמע" ב"ערבין"!משיחת מוצאי ש"פ עקב, כ"ף מנחם-אב ה'תש"מ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-08-2025 Synopsis On the Mishnah “From when does one recite Shema in the evenings,” the Gemara asks why the Mishna starts with the evening rather than morning, and the answer is that it is based on the order in creation, as the verse states, “There was evening and there was morning, one day.” But the question remains: why was the world created that way? This teaches us that when a person looks around and sees the darkness in the world, and he wonders, what can one individual accomplish in the face of such darkness – the answer from the Torah is that this is the order that Hashem established from the very beginning of creation, that “evening” and “darkness” come before “morning” and “light,” and that a Jew, through his service, must illuminate the darkness. The beginning of this service (in the “Oral Torah”) is reciting Kerias-Shema, which begins with the verse, “Hear, O Israel: Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is One” – Hashem gives every Jew the power to make it evident that everything is created by Hashem (Hashem is One), and to express it in the ches (the seven heavens and the earth) and the daled (the four directions). This gives a Jew the strength not to fear the world, but to see it as a place where one is to make a dwelling for Hashem in the lower realms. And similarly with regard to the “evenings” of the soul's descent into the body: it is not chas v'shalom in order to afflict the soul, but to bring about “Kerias-Shema” within “the evenings.”Excerpt from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos parashas Ekev, 20 Menachem-Av 5740 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-08-2025 לעילוי נשמת הרבנית גיטל לאה בת הרב ישראל ע"ה סלונים לרגל היארצהייט ביום הש"ק חמשה עשר מנחם-אבהוקדש ע"י בנה ר' אהרן ומשפחתו שי' סלונים

Parasha Ekev Synopsis (Elder Dan Young)

Ramban on the Torah | 56 | Ekev, by Rav Eli Weber How could Moshe Rabbeinu willingly shatter luchot written by the hand of HaKadosh Barukh Hu?! This and more... about our intimate relationship with God.

Parsha "Ekev," (Devarim or Deuteronomy 7:12 - 11:25) continues the theme of obedience to YHVH, beginning with a promise, that BECAUSE (ekev) you hearken (hear and obey) to these 'mishpatim' (ordinance) and keep them and DO them...then... And it is central to His Instruction (torah) for us, which has not changed. The Erev Shabbat reading not only makes what that means clear, but should "raise some eyebrows" as well. Because we've been lied to about what that means. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/SSM-8-23-24-Ekev-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 In the Sabbath day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa makes the case that there is FAR more to the instruction here than many of us have been led to believe. Last week, we were told bluntly that men were not to "add to" or "subtract from" His Word; they have made whole religions out of it instead. This time we take a look at the consequences. And what He says to do about it. WARNING: When Scripture uses Strong Language, we do Him a dis-service to soft-pedal that Truth. Mark does not. "Ekev: He Said He Would Hide His Face!" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/WT-CooH-8-24-24-Ekev-Hiding-His-Face-and-Return-to-Him-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part teaching is here:

Batya Ungar-Sargon shares Netziv commentaries on the parsha. These sessions are held on Zoom every week in memory of our mother in-law whose dedication to the Netziv (her great great grandfather), was legendary. It is estimated she studied the Ha'amek Davar some 78 times throughout her life, devoting every Tuesday to its study. May her memory be a blessing to her family and klal Yisroel.

Welcome to Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky.Parashat Eqev [Deuteronomy 7:12–11:25] is the third parashah in the Book of Deuteromony. Among its verses are the 7 species [8:8] which distinguish the Land of Israel, the verse [8:9] which is incorporated into the Grace after Meals and provides the halakhic [Jewish legal] basis for its recitation, and the 2nd paragraph of the Shema [11:13–21], with its theme of Reward and Punishment. Our conversation, as it often does, meanders from topic to topic. Among other things, we discussed the importance of the land and the differences between monotheism and paganism; we hope you enjoy it! We continue to be mindful of the hostages and their families, and the men and women who defend Israel as soldiers in the Israel Defense Force. May the hostages be speedily returned to their loved ones; may the soldiers defending Israel be removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom.

We return to an old problem with this verse. Could it be that the all knowing God really needs to test the people in order to see whether or not they would keep His commandments? Indeed, Ibn Ezra's comments here amount to something like “I already wrote about this earlier.”

Ekev | How Do You Spell "Mezuzot"? by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom How many ways can "Mezuzot" be legitimately spelled? The Orthography of the Torah Rashi, in his comment on Devarim 6:9, infers from the written form of "Mezuzot" - מזוזת - that we need only write the words of שמע...ואהבת (and the rest) on one doorpost, since the written version alludes to "Mezuzat". However, our Sifrei Torah all have that word written מזזות. We explore the phenomenon of כתיב מלא וחסר - (plene and "defective" orthography), where Hebrew letters are used to "guide" reading and are read as vowels. We also explore the rabbinic history of variant texts of the Torah and how that challenge was met. Source sheet >>

How do we connect to the spiritual dimension of reality?  How is this related to the global crisis and the war of civilizations that we are in the midst of? How can this connection put us on the path of fulfillment, satisfaction, and sustainable achievement? How does this relate to humanity's self-definition?

On our quest to acquire perfect emunah and think correctly, we want to purify our minds with the right hashkafa according to the Torah. The pasuk in parashat Ekev warns, if a person becomes well-to-do, he will forget about Hashem, saying, it is my might and strength that made me this wealth. The Saba from Kelm points out, the Torah does not say, maybe he will say this, because the nature of a person is to automatically think that way. It is only with proper training that we can uproot this thought process. If we see a successful businessman, what are our thoughts about his wealth? Do we think about what appear to be the immediate causes that brought him his wealth, like the product he sells or the stocks he bought? Or do we think that Hashem wanted him to be wealthy and He gave him his wealth? If we see an army successful in battle, do we think about their great strategies and war tactics? Or do we attribute their success to HaKadosh Baruch Hu? This is one way in which we could test our level of emunah, seeing if our initial thoughts have adapted to the way that Hashem wants us to think. The Gemara says in Masechet Berachot that Rav Huna had four hundred barrels of wine that soured, and when the Rabbis heard about it, they immediately told him to check into his deeds. Rav Huna asked the Rabbis why they suspected him of doing something wrong, and they replied, because without a question it was Hashem who made the wine sour, and it was a kapara for something that the Rabbi did wrong. Rav Huna looked into his deeds and indeed discovered his error in a different business dealing, and right after he made teshuvah , the issue of the wine went away. The baalei mussar point out from here, usually the way it works is when someone experiences some type of misfortune like this, he thinks about all the different natural causes of why the wine may have spoiled, but Chazal are teaching us with their pure emunah that the natural causes don't matter. Everything that takes place is because of Hashem. If we fix what Hashem wants us to fix, then the issue goes away. The Apta Rav used to say, the way of the world is when someone makes a certain hishtadlut and it doesn't work out the way he hoped, he thinks, “If only I would have done things differently, then I might have gotten what I wanted.” If the person said something he wishes he didn't say, he would think, “If only I would have said something else, then I would have gotten what I wanted.” Both of those reactions are incorrect. The outcome that took place was exactly the outcome that Hashem wanted to take place. And if the outcome could have been different because of different words or a different hishtadlut , then Hashem would have put those thoughts in the person's brain at the time he was making the hishtadlut . It is extremely difficult for someone to put in a lot of effort into something and then believe that the result had nothing to do with his efforts. But this is the way Hashem wants us to think, because this is the absolute truth. This is the way He runs the world. Even if someone says, “I did it and Hashem helped me do it,” that is tarnished emunah. אין עוד מלבדו , there is nothing other than Hashem. He doesn't need our help. He wants us to put in our efforts for various reasons. One of them is to test us in this very area, to see if we'll believe it was Him, even though we had to put in the effort. The more we train ourselves to think this way, the better we'll get at it. And b'ezrat Hashem, we will train ourselves to the point where our initial thoughts are with pure emunah.
