Gifts? Corona and Elections with self serving politicians? Putin? China?

Lockdowns ... Masks ... People afraid to go out ... OIY VEY!

 

In this double portion the Almighty says "Today I give you Life and Good - (or the opposite)

 

Is that OUR Reality? or just some Philosophy?

Really now,  what are the Greatest Gifts of Today?

 

Isn't Corona making this year really more like a holocaust out there?

 

Moses tells the people "Be strong ... Joshua will lead you into Israel ...

Fear not...

Just as G-d defeated Sihon and Og ... FEAR NOT because the Almighty protects you..."

 

So many people have no idea what was the big deal about "defeating Sihon and Og".

 

While there is SO MUCH Torah and Power packed into these 2 little portions,

 

Let me just explain those 2 names - in a way to understand this election year in the USA

 

Sihon - relates to the word Sachitah- to EXTORT

"OO L Og" - relates to putting down or mocking you

 

These are crimes committed by words - and so are the crimes of political leaders -

Putin ... Iran ... even the UN ...etc
