Dear Mishpachah (Family):
For the week of Av 20, 5777 the Torah Parashah is from D’varim (Deuteronomy) 7:12–11:25 called Ekev meaning “As a result” with the Haftarah reading from Isaiah 49:14–51:3. The reading from the Writings in the Messiah is Romans 6:31-39.
The Torah G-d gave, He never will amend, nor ever by another Torah replace.Our secret things are spread before His face; in all beginnings He beholds the end.The saint’s reward He measures to his wages; the sinner reaps the harvest of his ways.Messiah, He will send [again] at end of days, and all the faithful to salvation lead.G-d will the dead again to life restore in His abundance of almighty love.Then blessed be His name, all names above, and let His praise resound forevermore.
