This week’s Torah portion, Ve’etchanan, continues Moshe’s review of the events and commandments in the Torah. He recalls the miracles of the Exodus from Egypt and gives prophecy about a time when the Jews will turn away from Hashem but then return. The Ten Commandments are repeated in this week’s parsha<\/em>, as is the Shema. This week is also Shabbos Nachamu<\/a>, the Shabbos of Comfort following the mourning period culminating in Tisha B’Av, when we read the haftorah<\/em> of “nachamu, nachamu ami<\/em>,” when Hashem comforts us after the destruction of the Temple. One theme shared by both the Torah reading and the haftorah<\/em> is that of love. We remember when G-d delivered us from slavery and, under a marriage canopy, gave us the Torah. We are commanded in the Shema, “ve’ahavta et Hashem Elokecha<\/em>,” to love Hashem with all our hearts, with everything we have. We are reminded in the prophecy of Moshe and in the words of the haftorah<\/em> that as far as we stray, in His infinite love for the Jewish people, we are always taken back into G-d’s loving embrace.<\/p>\n

For this week’s Parsha desserts, I recommend anything in a heart shape. In my local candy store<\/a>, I was able to find peach-flavored chewy hearts (see photo above). They also had heart lentils. There are many other heart-shaped candies out there. The hearts can also relate to this week’s holiday of Tu B’Av<\/a>, the 15th of Av, which historically was the day that the young women of Jerusalem would dance and the young men would come to choose their brides. Tu B’Av<\/a> is considered by the Talmud to be the greatest festival of the year!<\/p>\n

I also bought Twizzlers (candy that is twisted) for this week as the Shema contains the commandment to wrap tefillin<\/em>, phylacteries, as we bind the words of G-d on our hearts and on our heads every day.<\/p>\n
