Today’s portion is from Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19 it is called Ki Tetze which means “when you go” If an Israelite wanted to marry a captive woman he must give her a makeover and mourn for his dead future in-laws for a month. An absolutely defiant son would be stoned. Cross-dressing was forbidden. Plowing with an ox and a donkey together was forbidden. Moses instructed that one was to make tassels called tzitzit. To marry a woman and then falsely accusing her of not being a virgin would result in the false accusers flogging . If the woman was not a virgin she would be stoned. If a man lies with an unclaimed virgin he is required to marry her. Marrying your father’s former wife was forbidden. If a man discharges during the night he must leave the camp for a day and bathe. A man can relieve himself outside the camp and would bury his discharge with a spike. Prostitution was illegal. Charging interest on loans to kin was not cool, but charging a foreigner was ok. Kidnapping an Israelite was punishable by death. Debts could not be collected forcibly. Fallen crops from harvest were to be left for the needy. When flogged, no more than 40 lashes were allowed. If your brother died with no son, you are required to marry his wife and give her a son. If the wife of one seized another man’s Censored during a fight, then her hand was to be cut off. The Israelites were to remember the ambush of the Amalekites and declared that Amalek’s memory be blotted out from under heaven. And that is Ki Tetze in 60 seconds.

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9 it is called Shofetim which means “Judges” Moses sets up an impartial justice system without bribes and warned the Israelites against setting up idols. Sacrificing an ox or sheep with any serious defect was not cool. Two or more witnesses were required to convict an idolater to death and the witnesses would throw the first stones. If a false witness was found out they would then meet the fate of the one they were trying to falsely accuse. The Israelites were free to set a king over them, taking an Israelite chosen by God. The king was not to keep many horses, marry many wives, or collect excess silver and gold. Cough Solomon…The King was to keep the law and his descendants would enjoy a long reign. The Israelites were not to imitate the evil practices of the nations, such as child sacrifice, witchcraft and fortunetelling. Moses foretold that God would raise a prophet from among them like Moses, and they were to listen to him. False prophets would also arise and they must be tested if found false they would be put to death. The cities of refuge were established for accidental deaths such as an ax head falling of a handle and killing a neighbor. When attacking a town, they were to offer terms of peace. Surrendered meant enslavement. not surrendering meant the men were killed and women, children, livestock, and everything else were taken. Unidentified bodies were absolved by God after a ritual involving a heifer. And that is Shofetim in 60 seconds.

Moses instructed that if a prophet appeared before the Israelites and gave them a sign and urged them to worship another god, they were not to heed the words of that prophet, but put the offender to death. Gashing one’s self or shaving the front of their head because of the dead was prohibited. Moses prohibited the eating of animal that did not have cleft hooves and chews cud. The Israelites could eat anything that has fins and scales, but nothing else. Birds of prey were not kosher nor were swarming birds. They could not eat anything that had died a natural death and finally they could not boil a kid in its mother’s milk. The 10% tithe was established and a full tithe was taken every third year for the Levites. On the 7th year all debts were forgiven and slaves were released. Generosity to the poor was mandatory and would be blessed by God. Israelites were to consecrate all male firstlings born in their herds and flocks and eat them. Moses instructed the Israelites to observe Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. And that is Reeh in 60 seconds.

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Ekev

Parsha 46

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25 it is called Ekev which means “if you follow,” Moses tells the Israelites that if they obeyed God’s rules, God would truly maintain the covenant. The Israelites were to destroy all the peoples whom God delivered to them, showing no pity and not worshiping their gods. They were to burn all idols and not to keep anything. God recalls the lessons he taught the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. Miraculously their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell for 40 years. God disciplined them as a man disciplines his son. Moses warned the Israelites that they were to dispossess nations greater than they, but God would go before them as a devouring fire to drive out the land’s inhabitants. God had not enabled them to possess the land because of their virtue, but God was dispossessing the land’s current inhabitants because of those nations’ wickedness and was fulfill the oath that God had made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses then reminded them about the incident with the golden calf and retells the story. Moses reminded the Israelites how they provoked God. Moses had to lay prostrate before God for 40 days, because God was determined to destroy the Israelites. Moses recalls the two tablets and the Ark of the Covenant, the death of Aaron And the promotion of Eleazar Moses described God as supreme, great, mighty, and awesome, showing no favor and taking no bribe, but upholding the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and befriending the stranger. Moses then says the Shema and instructs in the binding of scripture to their hands and forheads which is known today as taffilin. Also posted at the door is the mezuzah. And that is Ekev in 60 seconds.

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Deuteronomy 3:23–7:11 it is called Va’etchanan which means “and I pleaded,” Moses pleaded with God to let him cross over and see the other side of the Jordan River. God says no and don’t bring it up again. Moses climbs the summit of Pisgah and looks at the land. Moses instructs Joshua to be strong and courageous as he leads the people. Moses tells the Israelites to listen God’s laws, not to add or subtract anything to them. Moses argues that observing the laws faithfully would show the Israelites’ wisdom and discernment and that God is greater than all other nations’ gods. Moses urged the Israelites to not forget the Law, and to make them known to their children and children’s children. God then gives the law of the land. Moses warned them against idolatry and if they failed God would scatter them among the peoples, leaving only a scant few alive. If the Israelites follow God during exile God would bring them back. Moses then preaches about the greatness of God and proves that there are no other gods besides God. Moses then establishes the cities of refuge and gives out the rulebook. Moses then gives another reminder of the law and how it was given by God on mount Horeb and that the covenant was made with each individual and not their fathers. Moses then recalls the 10 commandments and how God inscribed them on two stone tablets, which God gave to Moses. Once again Moses reminds the Israelites to worship only God and to keep the passover. Moses tells the Israelites that God will bring them to the land and will dislodged seven nations before them — the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites We conclude with one final reminder that God is God. And that is Va’etchanan in 60 seconds.
