Shalom. Here is our commentary on the parsha Ha'azinu or "listen." This portion is the song of Moses given to Israel just before his death. In it we learn the faithfulness of God in the face of Israel's unfaithfulness and ingratitude.

Shalom. This is the (lengthy) commentary on Re'eh - "to see." There was so much material in this portion - the Place where He sets His Name, false prophets and lying signs as well as the Year of Release - that I couldn't limit it to the typical 60 - 90 minute format. As you can "see" there are three parts. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy it and…

Shalom. This is my commentary on the parsha Ekev or "reward." This focuses on the spiritual preparations for possessing the land.
