In the beginning of this week’s parsha, Moshe Rabbeinu recounts how he beseeched Hashem to enter the land of Israel. Chazal tell us that the gematria, or numerical value, of the word V’eschanon,” which means, “And I beseeched,” is 515. This corresponds to the 515 prayers Moshe advanced, begging to enter the land of Israel. Ultimately, Moshe Rabbeinu was not allowed to enter as Hashem told him, “Al tosef daber ailai od badavar hazeh.” “Do not continue to speak to me of this matter.” What though, happened to all those prayers? Were they all for naught? Moreover, just a few pesukim later, Moshe tells Klal Yisroel of their superiority over the nations of the world, “Ki mi goy gadol asher lo elokim krovim eilav kaHashem Elokeinu b’chol kar’ainu eilav.” “For which is a great nation that has a God Who is close to it as is Hashem our God, whenever we call to Him.” How can Moshe say this after begging Hashem 515 times and being answered in the negative? I believe this teaches us a fundamental lesson about prayer.

We certainly know that everyone has ALL of our Chayalim and the safety of Eretz Yisrael, on our minds and in our tefillos always.
Many of us are paired to daven for individual soldiers through international programs.
We are putting together a list of Chayalim who are Cleveland ‘family’ or extended…and will send that list to all the shuls in our community.

Since the Aseres Hadibros which include the laws of Shabbos are in Parshas Va’eschanan, we have an opportunity to discuss what happens when we do something wrong on Shabbos.
What Happens When We Do Something Wrong?
By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff
Question #1: Cholent caper
Shimon looks rather sheepish when he asks this shaylah on Shabbos morning: During the night, he tasted the cholent and decided it needed some extra spices. Without thinking, he added some pepper and garlic powder, which is clearly an act of desecrating Shabbos. Can the cholent be eaten, or is it prohibited to benefit from this melachah?

Walmart’s motto is: “Save money. Live better.” They are therefore bringing to the Kosher consumer new low priced brands and national Kosher brands at attractive prices. Both here in the South Euclid store and around the country.
