This week’s parsha, Re’eh, opens with a challenge: See, I set before you today a blessing and a curse. Moses tells the Israelites that faith isn’t just about words; it’s about the power of choice. Every moment offers us the chance to step toward blessing, or away from it.
The timing is no accident. As we prepare to enter the month of Elul—the 40-day journey toward Yom Kippur—this call to “see” becomes even more urgent. These days are not just about repentance, but about vision: What do we want to change? Where do we want to begin again? Re’eh reminds us that choosing blessing often happens in small, decisive moments that ripple out for decades.
So how do we train ourselves to truly see and to begin today to walk in the direction of blessing?

Eikev
In this week’s parsha, Moses warns the Israelites about the greatest spiritual danger they’ll face: not hunger or enemies, but comfort. As they prepare to enter a land flowing with milk and honey, he tells them to remember who gave it to them. Eat, be satisfied, bless, but don’t forget. Because forgetting leads to pride, and pride leads to thinking you did it all yourself.
This warning feels just as urgent today, in a world where abundance is only a click away. When everything is easy, where is the sacrifice that once bound us to God?
When the blessings pile up, how do we keep our hearts connected to the Source of it all?

Va’etchanan
In this week’s parsha, Moses pleads with God to enter the land of Israel and is told no. Instead, he turns to the people, delivering some of the most iconic words in the Torah: the Ten Commandments, the Shema, the Ve’ahavta; words that shape Jewish identity across generations. But what happens when those words are forgotten?
As we move from Tisha B’Av to Tu B’Av, from destruction to love, what kind of Jewish memory are we rebuilding?

Devarim
In this week’s parsha, we begin the book of Devarim, Moses’ final words to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. After four books of epic events, this one slows down. No plagues, no miracles, just a speech. But it’s a speech that matters. Because before a people can move forward, they have to remember where they’ve been. Devarim is a reminder that the most powerful tool a nation has isn’t its army or its land. It’s its story. As we enter the Shabbat of vision, what kind of future does this moment dare the Jewish people to imagine?

Matot-Masei
This week's parsha opens with what looks like just a long list—42 places the Israelites traveled through on their way from Egypt to the Promised Land. But those stops aren’t just historical footnotes. They’re reminders that every leg of the journey matters. As Jews, we’re always walking, always evolving. Mas’ei asks us to look back at our own paths and ask: What have I learned? What was the purpose of that detour, that delay, that disaster? Can the act of remembering become its own kind of movement? Tune in to find out.
Each week, Israeli journalist and Torah scholar Sivan Rahav-Meir and Tablet’s own Liel Leibovitz discuss the week’s parsha, giving practical advice from our holiest book.
