Weekly Torah Readings
See and hear Rabbi Chaim Richman and Rena Richman as they make their way across Texas, New Mexico and Minnesota during the middle two weeks of November. They will be teaching Torah, relating the latest events taking place in Israel and Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount.
V’Zot Habracha: It’s the final Torah reading of the year. We read it on Simchat Torah just before we begin our Torah reading cycle all over again with the reading of Beresheit (Genesis 1:1-6:8). So, you ask, how does Torah end? Stay tuned next week when we read Beresheit, because the end is in the beginning and the beginning is in the end, and what G-d requires most from us is simply the heart.

“Listen, O heavens, and I will speak! And let the earth hear the words of my mouth! My lesson will drip like rain; my word will flow like dew…” (Deuteronomy 32:1-2)
Sometimes our spirits are in the clouds; other times we’re feeling totally grounded. Sometimes we feel G-d’s presence around us as strong as the driving rain. Other times He seems as elusive as the morning dew. But whether we’re up or we’re down, whether we are focused on our attachment to G-d, or we’re feeling distant and disconnected, G-d is here. Always. This message of the first Shabbat of 5770 will serve us well throughout the coming year.
