Portion VaEtChaNan Nachamu - CONSOLATION
Why is this shabbat so holy?
In th Talmud they ask "How does the Almighty Spend his Time?"
And they answer :"Making Matches"
(that are as hard as the Splitting of the Red Sea!)
So on this Shabbat
We partner with the Almighty in making matches!
A few of the hostages who have been released from Gazahave gotten married!
A few of the widows of soldiers from this war have gotten remarried.
Is this easy?
Only the Almighty could work these "seemingly" inconsequential miracles!
From Dr Moshe
Shabbos Nachamu-Tu bAv - happens 40 days before the date of the Creation !
The Fixing of so many things.
We need "to fix (creation and)
Our prayers, the Meraglim(spies) , the Golden Calf, my connection to the 10 Commandments

And From Judy - the weekly Reb Shlomo Carlebach on Parsha Vaetchanan
& Shabbat Nachamu (with a little editing by AE)
The month is called Menachem Av. ..the Hebrew word for “Consolation,”
so the name of this month means that G-d is begging us, His children, “Please, console Me.”
I heard this gevalt Torah from my uncle, in the name of the Maggid of Mezrich, who was one of the 6 million.
He could have gotten away from Germany a thousand times, but he said,
“As long as there is one Yiddele left in my city of Hamburg, I have to stay.”
My father would always tell me this Torah which he heard before he left his brother, my uncle.
My uncle would say like this,
This week the Haftorah starts with
“Nachamu Nachamu Ami,” - “My people, Console, Console.”
The Ribbono Shel Olam is begging us, “please, Yidden, console Me; please, My People... Please mamesh console Me!”
And my uncle would say that we Yidden answer, “Menachem Av” - Our Father, we will console you.
How do we console our father?
We promise You that this will be the year. This year, we’ll come back to You.
This year, we’ll come back to the Temple. This year we will bring Mashiach, let it be now!
... AND in the name of the Bal Haturim
Moses prayed to G-d 515 times
...
What was that Prayer?
(numerical value) 515= שירה ( song)
It was the Tefilla ( prayer) of Song
Prayer through Song can break down any gates
Good Shabbos!
Rabbi Shlomo
And this week -
A young man enlisted in Israel with a special blessing from his Mom
Because his Dad (in Reserve duty) was in an encounter with terrorist and
he was killed last year...
May the Almighty hear ALL Mothers' prayers
and ALL OUR PRAYERS
and may we all pray a little for
safety of ALL Israel -
return of the hostages -
and
and the kind of end to this war which will leave Israel in peace!
Shabbos Shulim!
