Parshas Re’ey (5764)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Again we must pierce through the façade of August, the vacation season, that our solar calendar declares and connect and relate to the reality of Chodesh Elul which is upon us. Each of us must ask Hashem for special Divine assistance for the insight and understanding as to what exactly the particular demands that our individual spiritual needs call for, are, and for the strength to fulfill them.

It is tremendously helpful to always remember the Chazal in the Medrash of our parshas (4:5) that Hashem declares that no one ever loses out by following His commands.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a wonderful month which will culminate in a Shana Tova.

Parshas Re’ey (5762)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

This is the week of mivorchim chodesh Elul. Rav Miller zt”l always related to us that in the market places of Jewish communities one was able to perceive the fear of yamim noraim. On the Shabbos of mevorchim hachodesh we receive a blessing for the month. And this month we receive a blessing for Rosh Hashana and subsequently for the whole year. We now can begin to understand the importance of this Shabbos.

The name of the parsha very significantly is Re’ey—to see. There are multitudes of matters that we can actually “see” but we have to be inspired to search and find.

Have a good search, a good Shabbos and a good year.
