Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak

Rabbi Bachya states: Judge me favorable for any mistakes and errors you might find, or for any deficiencies in the book’s content and language, as I wrote it swiftly, without pause, for fear that death might overtake me and keep me from fulfilling the hopes I had for it. Bear in mind, also, that human nature is too weak to achieve perfection, as the verse says: “Human beings are mere breath, mortal men but an illusion; put them all on a scale, together they weigh less than a breath” (Tehillim 62:10). I have already admitted to my limited ability, hoping this may atone for any mistakes or errors in the work.
In memory of Attais family. Rachel survived.

Forty years of schooling in the hard scrabble school of the wilderness, all for the purpose of teaching Israel that our success and our sustenance, our physical well-being as well as our peace of mind, are not the fruit of our own labors alone, but can only be achieved by attaching ourselves completely to G-d, and performing His commandments in the land.

Every man has an enemy within him, unless he has help from G-d, an ever-present, corrective guide for his soul, and self-mastery to bind it with the bridle of service, control it with the reins of virtue, and strike it with the rod of discipline; so that, when the performance of some good act occurs to him, he will not delay, and if his heart entices him to do otherwise, he will berate it and overcome it.
I seek the help of the One true G-d; in Him do I trust. I ask that, in His mercy, He show me the straight path which pleases Him and finds favor in His eyes, in word and deed, in the inward life and outward action.

The Torah reading of Va’etchanan is always read in close proximity to the unique holiday of Tu B’Av – the 15th of Av, and it’s no wonder – both Va’etchanan and Tu B’Av speak of love: G-d’s love for Israel, our love for G-d ,our love for one another, and our love for eretz Yisrael – the land of Israel. Love makes it all possible.
