'ד פרק ב"תשע א אלול"תצא י כי פ' שבת קודש Shul Office 020 8202 6924 Issue 551 | 6th September 2014 | 11th Ellul 5774
SEDRAH REFLECTIONS BY RICHARD HERMAN (to mark the 1st Yahrzeit of his father Roy Herman, the Bar Mitzvah of his nephew Joseph Herman and his own Bar Mitzvah anniversary) – KI TETZE B’nei Yisrael stand at the borders of the Land of Israel. We can
only imagine their anticipation after 400 years of slavery in Egypt
and 40 years of wandering in the desert. We would expect them
to be restless, eager to enter the Promised Land and to begin
their future as a nation of G-d.
Instead, they would sit and listen to Moses giving them law after
law. Ki Tetze alone contains 74 mitzvot, ranging from rules of
engaging enemy civilians in wartime to ensuring the accuracy of
weighing-scales. Was this the paradise they had been awaiting
for centuries? So much to learn, so much to change ... In our
modern ‘instant’ world, our patience would have been truly
tested.
All these mitzvot would, however, prepare them for the new life
awaiting them just a short distance away – a life of potential: as
has been said, not the ‘Promised Land’ but a land of promise.
With the Yamim Noraim now but a few weeks away, we too are
waiting at the border ... of a new year full of promise. And, as we
listen to the leining during Sefer Devarim, with all its detail, we
should take the opportunity to prepare ourselves for the future.
We have within each of us the capacity to change and to improve
our relationships with our family, friends and the Alm-ghty. We
should take inspiration from B’nei Yisrael as they prepared to
enter the Land. Don’t expect instant results. G-d is forgiving:
don’t be afraid to fail as long as you fail trying and can learn from
your mistakes.
May we all be granted a year of s’machot, health and happiness.
