Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8 Ki Tavo (“When You Come”) opens by describing the ceremony of the first fruit offering (bikkurim) and the declaration made upon the completion of tithing. It concludes with a detailed description of blessings that follow obedience to God's laws and curses that come with their desecration.

It is a repeat of the text found in Leviticus chapter 26. It starts out with a few verses stating the rewards if the Israelites observe the covenant and do the mitzvot of Torah. The chapter then goes on for fifty-three verses to discuss the consequences, punishments actually, of straying from the covenant. These are not just the opposite of the rewards but spare no verbiage emphasizing very bleak conditions. Isn’t it interesting the number of verses to discuss the punishments vs. the rewards? As it has been stated previously, we Israelites are a “stiff-necked people”. There have been many commentaries that seek to resolve the application of these curses. Have we Jews been enduring this punishment over the last millennia that explain the oppression wreaked upon us? Are there some offences we’ve committed that justify those acts? Perhaps we can use the discussions of such warnings as “The Rebellious Son” as a model. This is a judgment that the sages deem to not be literally but rather serve as a warning. Perhaps this is a similar admonition. Consider that these decrees are also not to be taken literally but rather emphasize the idea that we should remain faithful to our covenant with Hashem and observe the commandments. This is what makes us strong as a people. We don’t win wars by might, nor prosperity by skillful and artful business practices alone, but rather by Hashem’s hand are we a prosperous and successful people. Observing our commandments is what gives us the resolve to be successful in our undertakings and overcome challenges. We are the people of the Book, and the Tohahah reminds us to remain so.

Most of us can imagine sitting and listening to Moses discuss these laws and wonder if there’s going to be a test and hopefully it will be multiple choice and not fill in the blanks! Seriously, what most of these laws have in common, especially in our triennial reading, is making sure that marginalized people are treated with respect. This seems to be the theme of most of the Torah, if not Deuteronomy and it needs to be emphasized again and again. We have such laws as allowing those in need to feed off gleanings in the field so they can eat. We are told that a creditor can not go into the domain of a debtor’s domain to collect the debt or take a possession as collateral. We are also told that workers are paid immediately so they can provide shelter and food. As these Israelites conquer and settle the Promised Land, by enacting these laws it will become a permanent part of their society and lifestyle. Thus it will become ingrained in there consciousness so they can lead a righteous and moral life and thus be an example of virtuousness to the rest of the world. A medida que estos israelitas conquisten y establezcan la Tierra Prometida, al promulgar estas leyes se convertirá en una parte permanente de su sociedad y estilo de vida. Así se arraigará en su conciencia paParashat Ki Teitzei 5782 10 septiembre 2022 / 14 elul 5782 Parashat Ki Teitzei es la porción semanal número 49 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 21:10-25:19 Ki Teitzei (“Cuando salgas”) contiene numerosas leyes, más de las que aparecen en cualquier otra porción de la Torá. Estos incluyen leyes sobre el trato de una mujer cautiva, la devolución de objetos perdidos, las mezclas prohibidas, la construcción de una cerca en la azotea, la violación, las garantías y los salarios de los trabajadores.

En serio, lo que la mayoría de estas leyes tienen en común, especialmente en nuestra lectura trienal, es asegurarse de que las personas marginadas sean tratadas con respeto. Este parece ser el tema de la mayor parte de la Torá, si no de Deuteronomio y necesita ser enfatizado una y otra vez. Tenemos leyes tales como permitir que los necesitados se alimenten de lo que espiguen en el campo para que puedan comer. Se nos dice que un acreedor no puede entrar en el dominio del dominio de un deudor para cobrar la deuda o tomar una posesión como garantía. También se nos dice que a los trabajadores se les paga de inmediato para que puedan proporcionar alojamiento y comida. ra que puedan llevar una vida justa y moral y así ser un ejemplo de virtud para el resto del mundo.

In fact, at the beginning of this portion we have the phrase צֶ֥דֶק צֶ֖דֶק תִּרְדֹּ֑ף “Justice, justice shall you pursue”. In Judaism, justice must be fair and balanced. There are very specific universal conditions for finding someone guilty, whether it’s a criminal or civil offense. First, the person must be warned or there must be proof that what they’re doing is against Torah. You see, in Judaism, there is no difference between Torah law and social law as there is in most countries today. Second, there must be two witnesses who see the person commit the offense. The penalty for false testimony? The perjurer will suffer the punishment that they conspired to have the party suffer. Finally, we have a repeat of lex talionis, the law of the tally or retribution. In some parts of the world, “eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life” is taken literally. Only for intentional murder does Israel seek equal retribution and for what we today call premeditated or murder in the first degree is the offender put to death; no exceptions. Otherwise, it is monetary compensation that may include additional penalties for punishment and humiliation, for example. The sages have determined that this is the fairest way to mete out justice. To do exactly to the guilty party as they have done to the victim may be in some cases almost impossible to do. How does one, for example, remove the eye of the guilty party who caused another to lose an eye without the possibility of peripheral damage? And then does the person meting out the punishment suffer a punishment for not doing it exactly correct? Justice, justice shall you pursue. Let us all live by these words. Parashat Shoftim 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת שׁוֹפְטִים 3 septiembre 2022 / 7 elul 5782 Parashat Shoftim es la porción semanal número 48 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 16:18-21:9 Shoftim ("Jueces") analiza las pautas de liderazgo, comenzando con un mandato para nombrar jueces y continuando con los detalles de las leyes de los reyes, sacerdotes y profetas. También describe las leyes relativas a las ciudades de refugio para los asesinos accidentales, los testigos falsos, la guerra y el rito realizado en un caso de asesinato sin resolver. Trienal año 3 1: 19:14-21 · 8 p'sukim · 2: 20:1-4 · 4 p'sukim · 3: 20:5-9 · 5 p'sukim · 4: 20:10-14 · 5 p'sukim · 5: 20:15-20 · 6 p'sukim · 6: 21:1-6 · 6 p'sukim · 7: 21:7-9 · 3 p'sukim · maf: 21:7-9 · 3 p'sukim · Haftará: Isaías 51:12-52:12 · 24 p'sukim Comentario y Divrei Torah: Sefaria OU Torah Seminario Teológico Judío Soncino Chumash: págs. 829 - 835 Año Trienal 3 (Kriyah completo págs. 820 - 835) Artscroll Chumash: págs. 1036 - 1045 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1024 - 1045) Etz Chaim Chumash: págs. 1099 - 1106 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1088 - 1106) Aquí tenemos una Parashat dedicada casi exclusivamente a impartir la justicia adecuada. De hecho, al principio de esta porción tenemos la frase צֶ֥דֶק צֶ֖דֶק תִּרְדֹּ֑ף “Justicia, justicia perseguirás”. En el judaísmo, la justicia debe ser justa y equilibrada. Hay condiciones universales muy específicas para encontrar a alguien culpable, ya sea un delito penal o civil. Primero, la persona debe ser advertida o debe haber pruebas de que lo que está haciendo va en contra de la Torá. Verá, en el judaísmo, no hay diferencia entre la ley de la Torá y la ley social como la hay en la mayoría de los países hoy en día. Segundo, debe haber dos testigos que vean a la persona cometer el delito. ¿La sanción por falso testimonio? El perjuro sufrirá el castigo que conspiró para que sufriera el partido. Finalmente, tenemos una repetición de la lex talionis, la ley del cómputo o retribución. En algunas partes del mundo, “ojo por ojo, diente por diente, vida por vida” se toma literalmente. Sólo por el asesinato intencional busca Israel una retribución igual y por lo que hoy llamamos premeditado o asesinato en primer grado, el delincuente es condenado a muerte; sin excepciones. De lo contrario, se trata de una compensación monetaria que puede incluir penas adicionales de castigo y humillación, por ejemplo. Los sabios han determinado que esta es la forma más justa de impartir justicia. Hacer exactamente con el culpable lo que ha hecho con la víctima puede ser en algunos casos casi imposible de hacer. ¿Cómo, por ejemplo, se extrae el ojo del culpable que hizo que otro perdiera un ojo sin posibilidad de daño periférico? ¿Y luego la persona que impone el castigo sufre un castigo por no hacerlo exactamente correctamente? Justicia, justicia perseguirás. Vivamos todos de acuerdo con estas palabras.

Parashat Re’eh 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת רְאֵה 27 August 2022 / 30 Av 5782 https://youtu.be/qHI6FTs7s3M Parashat Re'eh is the 47th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17; Numbers 28:9-15 Re’eh (“See”) details a series of laws in advance of the Israelites’ entrance into the Land of Israel.

There are various circumstances when and Israelite would need financial help. For example, their crop harvest may be minimal, or they may not be able to find employment. The Torah tells us that we must (yes, must) provide assistance. One option is to give them a no-interest loan. These extra resources allows them to restore financial self-sufficiency. Hashem also mandates a time limit for them to pay back, which is the next Sh’mittah year. This is every seventh year and is known as the “year of release”. Even if that year is approaching soon, we are not to balk at the prospect of perhaps losing our loan because of the short time period. We are to be glad that we can provide charity and Hashem will reward us with increased prosperity. Consider the importance that Judaism places on helping people become prosperous. This ensures an orderly society in which people all contribute. It makes more better trust, higher standard of living and greater justice. Consider also that the word for “charity” in Hebrew is the same word for “justice”. By giving charity, we are creating justice. And we are doing the work of Hashem.

Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 11:26-16:17; Números 28:9-15 Re'eh ("Ver") detalla una serie de leyes antes de la entrada de los israelitas a la Tierra de Israel. Estos incluyen la obligación de destruir la idolatría, las leyes del diezmo y la caridad, las leyes dietéticas, las leyes de vacaciones y la prohibición de ofrecer sacrificios fuera del lugar designado por Dios.

Hay varias circunstancias en las que un israelita necesitaría ayuda financiera. Por ejemplo, la cosecha de sus cultivos puede ser mínima o es posible que no puedan encontrar empleo. La Torá nos dice que debemos (sí, debemos) brindar asistencia. Una opción es darles un préstamo sin intereses. Estos recursos adicionales les permiten restaurar la autosuficiencia financiera. Hashem también exige un límite de tiempo para que paguen, que es el próximo año de Sh’mittah. Esto es cada siete años y se conoce como el "año de lanzamiento". Incluso si ese año se acerca pronto, no debemos resistirnos a la posibilidad de perder nuestro préstamo debido al corto período de tiempo. Debemos estar contentos de poder brindar caridad y Hashem nos recompensará con una mayor prosperidad. Considere la importancia que el judaísmo le da a ayudar a las personas a ser prósperas. Esto asegura una sociedad ordenada en la que todas las personas contribuyan. Hace más mejor confianza, mayor nivel de vida y mayor justicia. Considere también que la palabra para "caridad" en hebreo es la misma palabra para "justicia". Al dar caridad, estamos creando justicia. Y estamos haciendo el trabajo de Hashem.

https://youtu.be/lR3sVgWyfkE Parashat Eikev 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת עֵקֶב 20 August 2022 / 23 Av 5782 Parashat Eikev is the 46th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25 In Eikev (“As a Result”), Moses recounts events that happened in the desert, including the manna, the golden calf, and Aaron's death. Moses describes the blessings God will bestow upon the Israelites if they follow God’s law and the punishments they will encounter if they disobey.

We now have the second paragraph of the Shema, Deuteronomy 11:13-20. While the text is very similar to the first paragraph of the Shema, what we call the V’Ahavtah, there is one difference. The commandments to not serve other gods, and to bind “these words” on your arms and heads are all in the plural. This is in contrast to the V’Ahavtah which is all in the singular. The repetition of these commands to make them individual and group actions is to emphasize that not only is this an individual responsibility, but a collective one as well. We all need to look out for one another and are therefore responsible for each other. This is not just in performing mitzvot but loving your fellow as yourself. Most of Judaism liturgy today can be prayed by individuals praying alone. Scattered throughout our prayer services are the sanctifications (Kiddushim) and repetition of the Amidah that requires a quorum of ten adults or minyan. Parashat Eikev 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת עֵקֶב 20 agosto 2022 / 23 Av 5782 Parashat Eikev es la porción semanal número 46 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 7:12-11:25 En Eikev (“Como resultado”), Moisés relata eventos que sucedieron en el desierto, incluyendo el maná, el becerro de oro y la muerte de Aarón. Moisés describe las bendiciones que Dios otorgará a los israelitas si siguen la ley de Dios y los castigos que enfrentarán si la desobedecen. [1] Trienal año 3 1: 10:12-15 · 4 p'sukim · 2: 10:16-22 · 7 p'sukim · 3: 11:1-9 · 9 p'sukim · 4: 11:10-12 · 3 p'sukim · 5: 11:13-15 · 3 p'sukim · 6: 11:16-21 · 6 p'sukim · 7: 11:22-25 · 4 p'sukim · maf: 11:22-25 · 4 p'sukim · Haftará: Isaías 49:14-51:3 · 27 p’sukim Comentario y Divrei Torah: Sefaria OU Torah Seminario Teológico Judío Soncino Chumash: págs. 780 - 794 Año Trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 789 - 794) Artscroll Chumash: págs. 990 - 997 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 980 - 997) Etz Chaim Chumash: págs. 1048 - 1054 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1037 - 1054) Moshe Rabbeinu continúa repasando los últimos 39 años de vagar por el desierto con esta nueva generación de israelitas que conquistarán y colonizarán la tierra prometida. Ahora tenemos el segundo párrafo del Shemá, Deuteronomio 11:13-20. Si bien el texto es muy similar al primer párrafo del Shema, lo que llamamos V'Ahavtah, hay una diferencia. Los mandamientos de no servir a otros dioses y de atar “estas palabras” en sus brazos y cabezas están todos en plural. Esto está en contraste con el V'Ahavtah que está todo en singular. La repetición de estos mandatos para convertirlos en acciones individuales y grupales es para enfatizar que no solo es una responsabilidad individual, sino también colectiva. Todos debemos cuidarnos unos a otros y, por lo tanto, somos responsables unos de otros. No se trata solo de cumplir las mitzvot, sino de amar a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. La mayor parte de la liturgia del judaísmo actual puede ser rezada por individuos que oran solos. Dispersos a lo largo de nuestros servicios de oración están las santificaciones (Kiddushim) y la repetición de la Amidá que requiere un quórum de diez adultos o minyan.
