Portion of Re'eh – "See here now..." and HOW MANY TIMES YOU GOTTA TELL ME?"

This week's portion Re'eh says :

"Today - LOOK - I set before you a blessing – and a curse." TODAY! NOW
!

Israel is a blessing – researching and creating healing methods for the world –

And what do we see from Iraq and Hamas and the "Islamic State" and Iran
- everyone knows NOW what a curse is
!
the endangering and degeneration of the world
!
This portion also says about "flase prophets" - not just "don't follow them" but

love G-d ... listen to the VOICE (inner? outer?) the voice of G-d ... work for H-s plan
... and CLING to him"

... BUT WAIT
didn't it say thtat in LAST WEEK's portion
?
"fear the Al-mighty .. work for H-s plan ... CLING to H-m ...and sweAR only IN H-s NAME
?
is this a NUDGE
and
Do we really need to hear this again?
The Ibn Ezra medieval commentary on both these sentences explains
"CLING TO G-D" as IN YOUR HEART cling to the Almighty..

Maybe we all ned to hear this until the world focuses on bettering the world.

IF ONLY THOSE who are cursing the world with their murderous intent would only
OPEN THEIR HEARTS!

Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach would always say at his "teach ins"
"Now friends, OPEN YOUR HEARTS"
- because without an open heart we really can't learn.

If only the world would stop closing their hearts and following false prophets into chaos. 

Shabbat Shalom

Rabbi Andy Eichenholz
