WITH GOD’S HELP!
We hope you have a good week!
This week, 16 \u2013 22 Ava 5785 (10 \u2013 16 August 2025) the people of Israel read the weekly Torah portion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Ekev \u2013 Dvarim (Deuteronomy) 7:12-11:25<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It emphasizes the blessings of obedience to God, the importance of remembering God’s commandments, and the consequences of disobedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Key Themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Blessings and Obedience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Moses tells the Israelites that if they follow God’s laws, they will be blessed and protected from the nations across the Jordan River.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The blessings include prosperity in the Land of Israel, contingent upon their faithfulness to God.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Historical Reminders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Moses recalls the Israelites’ past transgressions, including the Golden Calf incident and other rebellions during their time in the wilderness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

        Readings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Parashat Eikev is divided into seven readings, known as aliyot. Each reading covers specific verses, with the seventh reading concluding with a promise of land and blessings for obedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Key Verses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Deuteronomy 7:12-26<\/strong>: Discusses the blessings for obedience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Deuteronomy 8:1-10:11<\/strong>: Reviews the Israelites’ history and God’s provisions, like manna.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
