From Rock to Garden
Sarah Salvay & Shira Schiowitz

 Through Yeshayahu, we look back at the foundations from which we were shaped and trust in Hashem’s ability to bring renewal even from places of desolation.

Ekev עקב Blessing and Fulfillment

עקב
Blessings Fulfilled
Tsvi Josephs
This limmud teaches that the Land of Israel is full of gifts—food, water, and resources. The Torah reminds us to thank Hashem, because real blessing is noticing what we have and showing gratitude.

Rick Schindelheim

Is our status as “Hashem’s children” dependent on our observance of His Torah or do we remain His children no matter what? This debate among Tannaim prompts us to examine the nature of our relationship with Hashem and other important relationships in our lives.

The Message of the Jewish King
Rick Schindelheim

Do the rules and limitations placed upon the king of Israel have anything to teach ordinary people about how to live our own lives? A careful and reflective reading of the psukim will show us how they certainly do!

What Do You Choose to Remember?
Michael Friedman
The idea of a MItzvah to remember an event, particularly an event we we not physically present for, speaks to our central identity as Jews. Each of us looks at the world through the lens of our memories. How can we tap into those, and if we were to choose what to remember, what would say are the essential memories for our identity?

This is why I’m here (al menat kein)
Rick Schindelheim

Hashem redeemed you from “there” and brought you “here” for a purpose! Just like He redeemed Am Yisrael from Mitzrayim so that they can do His mitzvot. What’s your “al menat kein“?

Vidui Maaser
Rick Schindelheim

Does Teshuvah only mean thinking about what we’re doing wrong? The mitzvah of “viduy ma’aser” teaches us that acknowledging our spiritual SUCCESSES plays a crucial role in helping us grow closer to Hashem.

Torah is never out of reach—it’s not distant in the heavens or across the sea, but close to our hearts and mouths, ready for us to live and speak it. The same is true for Hashem.

We typically talk about what we do TO the Torah: keep it, learn it, guard it, honor it, etc. Hakhel prompts us to ask: What does Torah do to us?
