Why all the special brachos in our parsha (7:12) for the “not so serious or important mitzvos”. “Hashem will adore you and love you and bless you”.

Anything that Hashem commands is not and cannot be unimportant. How can there be any Will of Hashem that is less significant? Hashem, the Creator of the Universe, our bodies, the very essence of our momentary breath of life. The great reward is for the focus and realization that no Will of Hashem is insignificant. For the focus and realization of Hashem’s constant showering us with life, sustenance and the beautiful exotic extras. “Hashem will cause you to expand, bless your reproductive capacities………”.

The present period after Tisha B’Av is a time of special Divine assistance and blessing in all our endeavors; “grab, take, invest in learning, davening and midos tovos and…Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Following the reliving and remembrance of the Churban we are now to inspired to rebuild from the beginning pure and true. Divinely arranged, our sedra is exactly that; dealing with the essentials of our faith.

We yearn for Mashiach and the geula sh’layma, always when yearning to meet someone it happens…. Yearn for Mashiach!

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

The Medrash (1:19) in our sedra relates that Esav begged Yitzchok for a secondary bracha and the response was that your sword (your weapons) will indeed bring you life and success. This was accompanied with the approval of Hashem Himself.

How can I ever survive asked Yaakov, i.e. Klal Yisroel? The depth of the inquiry; after this blessing there is absolutely no shelter from the most sophisticated weaponry or arsenal; no geographic location, no means or ways of protection from Esav’s aggression. The inquiry was acknowledged that it was in place—there is no hope and no where to escape. The Divine reply came “escape to Torah”….

Torah is a direct connection to the very source of existence and life; it is a connection to Hashem Himself on a level higher than the Creation. Moshe was cured (Medrash 1:1) of his speech defect by teaching Torah—not as a reward but through his direct connection to “the Source”.

What a vital lesson for our trying times. Let’s save ourselves and escape to Torah and see the Redemption and restoration of the glory of Hashem.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a meaningful Tisha B’Av.

Our Parsha is the point of the beginning of the great journey of Clal Yisroel exploding into a massive nation and eventually to receive the Torah and enter Eretz Yisroel.  It is actually painfully difficult to comprehend how Yaakov Avinu could have a favorite; how could he show favoritism openly, why did Yosef share his dreams?  The brothers could have given all this enough thought and realize that Yosef perhaps was special and could have possibly avoided the aggravating consequence that followed.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a Happy Ch EMBED Word.Document.8 \s anukah.
