Parsha Inspiration – Parshas Nitzavim-Vayelech: The Secret to Attaining Good Judgment

Inspiration on Parshas Ki Savo – Being Grateful and Judaism

In this week’s Parsha, we are told about the immense blessing that the Jewish people will accrue upon following Hashem’s law. The Pasuk says, U’Vau Aecha kol ha’Berachos ha’Eleh v’Hisigucha, and all these blessings will come upon you and reach you.

Parsha Inspiration: Parshas Shoftim – The Power of Postivity

In this week’s Parsha, the Jewish people go out to battle. The Torah says that if one solitary soldier feels fear or anxiety, he must be sent home. Why?

Parsha Knowledge Parshas Eikev Inspiration: Keep on Fighting!

This week’s Parsha begins, “V’haya eikev tishmo’un – If you will listen to Hashem with your heel.” This sounds very strange. It’s possible to be attentive and to listen with one’s ears but how can someone listen with his heel?

In Parshas Vayailech, we are told the last Mitzvah in the Torah which is to write a Torah scroll. The pasuk teaches us that Hashem commanded Moshe and Yehoshua to write the Torah and place the Torah scroll at the side of the Ark. The Torah remained there as a constant reminder of Klal Yisroel’s…
