Re’eh Anochi Noten Lifnechem Hiyom B’racha Uk’lala.

See, this day I set before you blessing and curse:

In this weeks parshat we have a glimpse of promised blessing to encourage not only that generation, but us today as well. Even more so as the time draws ever nearer than when Moshe Rabinu spoke these words.

Devarim 12:10&11 When you cross the Jordan and settle in the land that your God יהוה is allotting to you, and [God] grants you safety from all your enemies around you and you live in security, then you must bring everything that I command you to the site where your God יהוה will choose to establish the divine name: your burnt offerings and other sacrifices, your tithes and contributions, and all the choice votive offerings that you vow to יהוה.
The time spoken of here did not become realized fully by that generation but was partially fulfilled in the days of David Hamelech as he subdued the nations around Yisrael and ushered in a time of peace. Also preparing for a place for Hashem’s name to be established, by making the plans and provisions for his son Solomon to carry out the construction of the Temple on Adonai’s Holy Mountain. In the days of Solomon Yisrael did indeed have peace like unto the final peace and security that will come when this promise is ultimately fulfilled by Mashiach Ben David. When He appears, we will all definitely know Him to be our Goel redeemer.

If a king will arise from the house of David who delves deeply into the study of the Torah and, like David His forefather, observes its commandments as prescribed by the written Torah and the Oral Torah, and if He will prevail upon Israel to walk in the ways of Torah, and repair the breaches, and if He fights the wars of the LORD, we may confidently consider Him the Messiah. If He succeeds in all of this, builds the Temple, and gathers in the dispersed remnant of Israel, He is definitely the Messiah.                                    ( Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Melachim 11:4 )

On that day of His appearing the Shofar blast on Yom Teruah will announce the Yovel year during which we enter into the fulfillment of the Devarim “words” of Moshe Rabbinu and Re’eh “behold” our Goel “redeemer” face to face!

May you be abundantly blessed and behold glimpses of the coming Malchut “Kingdom” in your study of Re’eh this week.

HaRuach V’Kallah Om’riym Bo – The spirit and the Bride say Come. We say may it be in our day and in our times Mashiach.
Shalom Mish’pachah from Beth Hallel Lodi
