The Shmuz On The Parshah

Before the makah (disease), Hashem prepares the r’fuah (cure). Within last week’s haftarah, warning us about the impending doom, we find a message of hope and salvation.

“And now, Yisrael, what is Hashem, your G-d, asking of you? Merely to fear Hashem, to go in all of His ways, to love Him, and serve Him with all of your heart and soul.”

— D’varim 10:12

“Place upon yourself a king…He shall not greatly increase silver and gold for himself.”

– D’varim 17:16-20

“Do not covet the house of your neighbor. Do not covet the wife of your neighbor; his slave and maid servant, his ox, his donkey, and all that belongs to your neighbor.”

– Sh’mos 20:14

“See I have placed in front of you today a blessing and a curse. The blessing: if you will listen to all of the mitzvahs of Hashem your G-d as I have commanded you today…”

 – D’varim 11:21
