Shalom mishpachah veh chaverim! It’s almost Shabbat!!! I can feel it in my bones and I am SO ready!!
This week’s Parashah (Key-Tates-zay) Ki Tetze, (D’varim/Deuteronomy 26:10 – 29:9) centers on some of the practical applications of Torah. The Hebrew word (hah-lah-khah) halakhah means, in its simplicity, the way in which to walk or the way in which to walk out practically the mitzvot/commandments. As we walk through the next few chapters of (D’vah-reem) D’varim/Deuteronomy, we will see some of these practical applications.
According to the Sages, every mitzvah/commandment can be placed in one of two categories.
• One category is (meets-vote bay-een ah-dahm l’mah-kohm) mitzvot bein adam l’makom / between man and God, like eating kosher and keeping Shabbat, which doesn’t effect other people.
• The other is (meets-vote bay-een ah-dahm l’kha-veh-eero) mitzvot bein adam l’chaveiro / between man and man, which involves interaction with others.
These instructions are for our good and our learning so we can walk in faithful obedience to our Abba Father, which pleases Him greatly. May we be faithful in doing our best to please our Abba Father.
Shabbat shalom veh shavuah tov, Batyah
