The Torah portion this week, called “Vaetchanan” in the Hebrew (Deuteronomy 3:11-7:11) is SO central to an understanding of why a return to the REAL teachings of the Messiah, Yahushua HaMashiach, is very literally a matter of Life and Death, that Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa thought it should be linked under the title that, while it might seem controversial, is also undeniable: His Mama NEVER Called Him ‘jesus’. It’s not about ‘vowel pointers,’ or pronunciation, or even language. It’s about whether we can even distinguish the Real from the fake. He IS, the “Way, the Truth, and the Life.” “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” How much MORE so the “Torah Made Flesh” Himself! Note: This is a direct link to the midrash itself. For those that would like to hear the entire presentation, which begins with a summary and reading of the Torah portion, the weekly link includes that one. If this is helpful to your understanding, and the reason WHY we do what we do, as He commands us, please share it.
Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, head Rabbi at Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, and the host of the Rabbi Allouche podcast, joins Seth for the full hour to talk about this week's Torah portion, known as Parashat Vaetchanan, which comes from Deuteronomy. They discuss how prayer can be a powerful tool for growth, transformation, and a deeper connection with God. From the concept of surrender and letting go to the idea of prayer as a two-way street, Rabbi Allouche explores the complexities of prayer and its role in our lives. They dive into the Shema prayer, one of the most important Jewish prayers, and its significance in our daily lives. He also discusses the concept of God's law on our hearts, and how it's not just about keeping commandments, but about living a life of integrity and good values.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vaetchanan | Nachamu Nachamu Ami, by Rav Eli Weber Yeshayahu 40: 1-26 Is repentance required for redemption?
The Torah in Parashat Va'et'hanan (4:2) introduces the prohibitions known as "Bal Tosif" and "Bal Tigra" – adding to, or diminishing from, the Torah. Rashi explains that this refers to the way we observe the Misvot. If a person adds a fifth piece of parchment to the four pieces of parchment in the Tefillin, or if he adds a fifth species to the Arba Minim on Sukkot, then he violates "Bal Tosif," whereas if he uses only three pieces of parchment in the Tefillin, or only three species on Sukkot, he violates "Bal Tigra." The Ramban writes that "Bal Tosif" refers to adding a new law to the Torah, like a new holiday, whereas "Bal Tigra" means doing away with a Misva. Curiously, immediately after Moshe presents these commands, he recalls the tragedy of Ba'al Pe'or – the time when many members of Beneh Yisrael worshipped Pe'or, the deity of the nation of Moab. Moshe reminds the people that everyone who worshipped Pe'or was killed by a plague sent by G-d, whereas those who did not survived. What might be the connection between Ba'al Pe'or and the prohibitions of "Bal Tosif" and "Bal Tigra"? Why did Moshe bring up the tragic event of Ba'al Pe'or in the context of these commands? Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz (1902-1979) answers this question by noting the very unusual way in which Pe'or was worshipped – its followers would defecate on the idol. We must wonder, what kind of religion would come up with such a peculiar mode of worship? And what made Pe'or so appealing that Beneh Yisrael were lured to this type of idolatry? The answer is that to the contrary – Pe'or was the most appealing of all religions, because it championed the complete lack of restraint and boundaries. Defecating on the idol meant the elimination of all rules and limits on behavior, the belief that one can do whatever he pleases whenever he pleases, that anything goes, that even bodily functions – which humanity has always demanded be performed in private – should be performed freely. What made Pe'or so enticing was its rejection of self-discipline and self-restraint, and encouraging its followers to act upon their instincts without holding back. Rav Shmuelevitz explained that Moshe was warning the people about what happens when the Torah's system of laws is viewed as malleable, as subject to the people's approval. If a person feels entitled to modify the Torah, and introduces even a slight change – that small change is like a small hole in a fence. And a fence with a hole is not a fence. While it might not happen immediately, slight modifications to the Torah can lead to "Pe'or," to a point where anything goes, where there are no longer any iron-clad rules. This danger exists in both directions – when adding or detracting from the Torah. There were movements that began with one small "detraction," by taking away one Misva or one time-honored tradition, and this led to eventually abandoning the entire Torah. Conversely, when Rabbis try to "add" to the Torah, introducing stringencies and customs which the people find too burdensome, the people are likely to just give up observance altogether. Moshe therefore warns against both adding and detracting, insisting that we adhere to the Torah's laws without trying to modify it one way or the other. The Ramban, in his comments to this verse, writes that despite the prohibition of "Bal Tosif," the Sages introduced the holidays of Hanukah and Purim because they found allusions to these celebrations in the Torah itself. They were reluctant to approve of these new holidays, but they eventually did so – only because the Torah makes subtle reference to these two occasions. Rav Yosef Salant ( 1885-1981) added that this might explain the unusual features of these holidays. The Megilla reading, the primary Misva on Purim, does not take place on the same day in all places; the first Mishna in Masechet Megilla teaches that there are several different dates on which the Megilla was read in different locations under different circumstances. And the Misva of Hanukah candles, as we know, has three different gradations. The Gemara establishes that the minimum level requires just a single candle each night, the higher level is lighting a candle for each member of the household, and the highest level – which is what we of course do – is to add a candle each night. Although the Sages eventually approved the establishment of these new holidays, they ensured that they would be observed somewhat unusually, that they would not be as straightforward as the holidays established by the Torah, to make it clear that they were not adding onto the Torah. This shows how careful the Rabbis were when it came to introducing new customs or practices. They understood the danger of making even a slight hole in the fence, in giving the impression that the Torah is subject to modification. We must remain steadfastly loyal to the Torah and to our traditions, and never think that we know better, that we're smart enough to make up our own rules.

Insights into parashat VaEtchanan by Rabbi Benjamin Lavian
Parsha "Vaetchanan" (for "And I pleaded," Deuteronomy 3:23 - 7:11) is arguably THE portion that contains some of the most important "statutes and commandments" in the Bible. Not only "the Ten," but also the one known often simply as "The Shema," for the first word, and the fact that Yahushua called it the Greatest Commandment of all, 'Hear, O Isreal...YHVH Elohenu, YHVH Echad." And you shall YHVH with "all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might." The Erev Shabbat reading includes that, and more: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/SSM-8-8-25-Vaetchanan-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship suggests that there are several elements in the 'theme' of this parsha that are not only central to our understanding, but also must serve as a basis for some of the most important questions - and the tests that will answer them! - that explain what has gone wrong with a nation, and a world, that has not only forgotten Him - but apparently HATES Him. And they are fundamental to what we must 'come out of,' and thus Who we serve. This portion is, at least in part, about idolatry, and certainly obedience to His "statues, judgments, and commandments." And He says THREE TIMES, in this parsha alone, that He is the 'Jealous God,' literally, "El Kana." There is an important connection in that theme. And Mark suggest that He has told us EXACTLY what we need to know in order to "rightly divide the Word," and discern the difference between the fake and the Real. Vaetchanan: "A Jealous El Kana - don't Add To, or Subtract From" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/WT-CooH-8-9-25-Vaetchanan-El-Kana-NO-Adding-to-or-Subtracting-Frm-podcast-xxxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

This evening we discuss the name of the Mitzvah of Mezuzah, which actually refers to the doorpost, not the rolled-up scroll. We explore how this Shabbat, Shabbat Nachamu (the Shabbat of Consolation) drastically changes the mood from the sadness and mourning of Tisha B'Av to the exuberance we now experience. We explain this with a great story about feeding a lion, and a closer looks at the words of the Haftorah. We then analyze this Shabbat from a different perspective based on Sfas Emes, and a touching story about a roller coaster. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

We lezen meer met de synagoge: Deut.3:23-7:11, Jes.40:1-26, en Hebr.12:18-2De komende 7 weken staat de vertroosting na Gods oordelen centraal. Mozes en het volk mochten de berg Horeb niet naderen of aanraken voordat zij de stem van de shofar een langgerekte hoorden geven. Maar die Stem en de verschijnselen waren zo ontzagwekkend dat zij enkel vreze en beving waren. Zij zagen dat de HEERE een verterend vuur is. Het volk verzocht de stem uit het vuur niet langer te hoeven horen.Daar ontvingen zij het eerste verbond en de verbondsvoorwaarden, de tien woorden. Gehoorzaamheid zou hen wijsheid en leven geven en het land doen beërven. Volken en hun afgoden zouden erdoor onderworpen en verdreven worden. Wanneer het volk echter zou nalaten om tegen de afgodendienaars te strijden en hun afgoden weg te doen, dan zou hun dat opbreken en doen struikelen. Allen die Baal-Peor achterna liepen hebben dat echter met de dood moeten bekopen. Je kunt de tien geboden niet ongestraft vervangen door geboden van mensen en overheden. In onze maatschappij zie je dat echter op alle fronten wel gebeuren. In Zweden heeft men onlangs zelfs het Satanisme in de wet als religie erkent. In Amerika vernielen ze de monumenten voor de tien geboden en vervangen die voor afgodsbeelden.Paulus waarschuwt in Hebr.12: 25 Ziet dan toe, dat gij Hem, die spreekt, niet afwijst. Want als genen niet ontkomen zijn, toen zij Hem afwezen, die zijn godsspraak op aarde deed horen, hoeveel te minder wij, als wij ons afwenden van Hem, die uit de hemelen (spreekt). Onze God is een verterend vuur. Zij hebben Hem afgewezen. Daardoor zijn zij in ballingschap gegaan. Maar Hij zal hen vertroosten en doen terugkeren tot Tsion Jesaja 51: 4 en tot Torah, tot Hemzelf. Want wij zijn genaderd tot de berg Tsion, de stad van de grote Koning, tot God, de Rechter over allen. Van Tsion zal zijn scepter, de Torah uitgaan naar alle volken, Jesaja 2:3 en wij zullen naar de Stem van de goede Herder horen en vrede vinden. Hoe zouden we kunnen en durven naderen zonder een volmaakte Middelaar die Zijn levensbloed, Zijn ziel ten borg stelde voor u en voor mij.Presentator,Robert BernsSupport the show

Rise Up Come Down, Jerusalem (Part 2 of Charm School) The haftarah (reading from the Prophets) supplies our study this week, a continuation from "Charm School" of the Torah portion Vaetchanan. It is Isaiah 51:12-52:12. Verses and 1 and 2 supply our question and answer: Does Jerusalem, the Bride, arise at the resurrection or does she descend to be seated (dwell)? YES! First one, then the other. The foreshadowing of the restoration is found a little farther along in Isaiah: It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,” nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”; but you will be called, “My delight is in her,” and your land, “Married”; for the LORD delights in you, and to Him your land will be married. (Is 62:4) This explains the “New Jerusalem” as Eden above able to once again “marry” the physical Land of Jerusalem and Israel from which she withdrew after the first sin. Once the Land is cleansed, those who could heed the command to “Arise” at the resurrection at the Last Trump will descend adorned with the ornaments of the written and lived Word, and they will be seated, or “dwell” (sheviyah) in the Bride's renewed intimate Edenic habitation: Then I saw a new [renewed] heaven and a new [renewed] earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” (Re 21:1-4) Not all who were called will be fully clothed in the garments that allow them to pass into and out of the ”cloud” of New Jerusalem as they minister to the nations and kingdoms of the millennium. Although all were educated by Moses and the Ruach in the cloud in the wilderness, not all obeyed His compassionate mitzvot with joy, and they died either in the wilderness of the exodus from Egypt or the wilderness of the peoples in the last exile (Ezek 20:35). The Cloud expels rebels and practicing sinners. They evaporate in the Light of the Word, not the cloud. Nehemiah explains their royal priestly semi-Edenic journey, reiterating the special garments in a cloud dwelling where the Lamp was the Lamb, the Word of God, and how they ruled and will again rule the peoples from this portable Jerusalem/Temple. (Re 21) “You, in Your great compassion did not forsake them in the wilderness; the pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go. You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, Your manna You did not withhold from their mouth, and You gave them water for their thirst. Indeed, forty years You provided for them in the wilderness, and they were not in want; their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell. You also gave them kingdoms and peoples...” (Ne 9:19-22) The bridal garments are garments of a royal priesthood tried in the wilderness, ready to reign and rule with Messiah Yeshua, the Living Word of the Father. He is Bread, Water, garments of righteousness, and peace that do not wear out, for those royal bridal blessings of eternal life are from the Garden above. The feet don't swell because those feet are not exactly touching the natural earth after Jerusalem once again is married to the earth below. The Bride is adorned with beautiful mitzvot full of the Light of the Torah and the Lamp of the Word. That is the Light with which they also will light the world when they have come to rest in the Holy City:
Parshat Vaetchanan 5784 by Josh Rosenfeld
Ramban on the Torah | 55 | Vaetchanan, by Rav Eli Weber Which is the "real" text of the aseret hadibrot? Treating a derabanan mitzva as deoraita - is that bal tosif? And more...
Parsha "Vaetchanan," (Devarim or Deuteronomy 3:23 - 7:11) is, very what might be called the heart of the heart of His Torah, because it includes not only the 'reiteration' of the Ten Debarim (Sayings, Words, or 'commandments') but also what the Messiah Himself called the "greatest commandment" of all. First, he Erev Shabbat reading of some of the most central commandments in the Bible: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/SSM-8-16-24-Vaetchanan-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. Do even the "Ten Commandments" still apply, now that we have been exiled from the land? OR, does He mean what He says about the commandment to neither "add to," or "subtract from?" It's a 'razor' that is key to understanding how to discern His Truth from the "lies we have inherited from our fathers." And a 'church' that, all too often, attempts to turn his very Word 'upside down.' The deception He warned us about is here. But we can 'see that your are not deceived.' WARNING: This is another rather blunt message, because time draws short.
