  • This Shabbat after Tisha B'Av is called Shabbat Nachamu - The Sabbath of Consolation
    Does God hear every prayer? He is really listening? Why does it sometimes seem that our prayers go unanswered? In this week's Torah portion, Moses teaches us what it really means to pray...and it is a lesson that can change our lives forever.
    The Torah portion of Va'etchanan (Deut. 3 : 23 - 7 : 11) is read on Shabbat, Menachem Av 13, 5784 - 'Shabbat Nachamu', the Sabbath of Consolation - August 17, 2024

    "From there you shall seek Hashem your God and you will find Him, but you must search for Him with all your heart and all your soul" (Deuteronomy 4:29).
    The Kotzker Rebbe taught that even after you have found Hashem, you must continue to seek Him wholeheartedly. This is because He is infinite, and you may think that you have discovered Him, but there is always so much more.

    May I share something with you that verses from this parsha always remind me of from 5 years ago?
    I was born into an evangelical Christian family. My father was a missionary with what in the 1950s was called The Barbican Mission th the Jews (it is now called Christian Witness to Israel) and he worked in Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. He had a great love for Jews, but his perspective was typically Christian. Several of his Jewish friends reinforced this by referring to themselves as "completed" Jews - what today would be called Messianic Jews. I was brought up to love the Jews and was always taught that the Jews had a much deeper understanding of the scriptures. The message I took from this was that Jews knew best. I studied Biblical Studies at Sheffield University and Theology at Oxford University before being ordained in the Church of England where I served for 27 years as a priest. From 1999 for the last 10 years of my ministry I was increasingly feeling drawn to Judaism, I spent the summer in Israel in 2007 helping out on the City of David excavations doing "grunt" work. I fell in love with Israel. The years 2007-2009 were a real struggle for me as I found more and more of my Christian faith becoming unsatisfying, questionable or just plain wrong. In 2009 I resigned from the Church because I could no longer be a priest with integrity. I continued to read widely, to study and to ask questions, in the end I felt I had no alternative but to begin the 2 year process of conversion. I studied with a lovely (and very patient) rabbi and finally sat before the Beit Din, my Bris followed a week later. My father had died in 1985, but I still had to speak to my mother (in her 90s) about what had happened. I expected tears, arguments and the rest, but all she did was smile and ask me why I had done it. I assumed she meant why had I become a Jew, so I started to explain but she waved me to be quiet and went on to explain that her grandparents were both Jews, their name had been Fuchs but when they fled Austria-Hungary in the 1870s they changed their name to Fox as it sounded more English. My grandma was one of 3 children and, while she went her own way and became very secular, even marrying a Christian, she was of course Jewish, which meant that while there had never been as much as a whisper of it, my mum was also Jewish ... she looked at me and smiled and said, so you were already Jewish. She showed me the verses from this week's parsha in her Bible (Deut 4:25-31) and said, "see He did it after all these years: you sought Him with all your heart and He remembered His covenant with your ancestors and brought you home." I've never looked back, I'm so proud to be a Jew and so humbled, every time I open my siddur I'm filled with joy, yet tears run down my face.

    Consider looking at the hebrew letters of "Adom"(man) and "Mit Palelel"(Hebrew word for prayer) the word for prayer is found in Adom Hashem telling us our life force us prayer our soul duty is prayer. SHABBAT SHALOM! LOVE YOUR CONTENT Rabbi 😊👏 Blessings upon you and your family

    • @graysonjeffords7110

      Meet-Pah-Lel (prayer in English) - writing “adom” (ALEF,lamed,pey - DALET,lamed,tav - MEM,mem) read it backwards and you get “mit-pah-lel” (prayer) and in that word is in the heart of man.
