Some thoughts on the Sidra
RE’EH BY RABBI JEREMY LAWRENCE
This coming week in shul we shall read Parshat Re’eh, quite a sizeable Parsha with a restatement of the laws of
worship, food and festivals. There’s little left untouched.
Amongst the detail, Moses gives one general principle, “Adhere and you shall listen to all these words that I
command you, in order that it be well with you and your children after you, forever, when you do what is “tov”
what is good and what is “yashar”, what is right in the eyes of God.” (Devarim 12, 28)
Adhere and you shall listen – Sh’mor ve-shamata… As the Ohr HaChayim (1646-1743 Morocco) observes, the order
seems strange. Surely you need to listen first and you can only keep the mitzvoth afterwards. What does it mean
adhere and you shall listen? The question is compounded when we look at some of the commentaries which
translate it “teach and listen”. Surely it makes sense to listen first and to teach thereafter!
We can reframe the question this way. “I heard it at Sinai. I got the Torah already. I’m doing the mitzvoth… So
why do I need to listen now? Let me just get on with it!”
Says the Torah, “Sh’mor veshamata” - Adhere and keep listening. The eternal benefit of a relationship with God,
just like a relationship with our families, comes in part from fulfilling the commitments we have already made
– but as a whole – the reward comes as we keep listening, keep learning and keep growing.
Wednesday sees the beginning of the Jewish month of Ellul – the month leading up to Rosh Hashanah. Every
weekday we will be sounding the shofar at the end of the shacharit service.
The mitzvah of the shofar is also about listening. It is also about cementing a relationship. The blessing on the
shofar is on the hearing, not the blowing. At this stage in the year it is an alarm or wake up call. It heralds the
coming season and invites us to ready ourselves spiritually.
On Rosh Hashanah itself, the shofar blasts are less of an alarm. They are divided in the service between the blasts
of Malchuyot – celebrating God as King, Zichronot – the remembrance of the strong relationship forged in the
past and finally Shofarot – a fanfare anticipating a great future.
We draw comfort from the memories of our courtship and are filled with warmth when the music starts and we
recall, “darling, they are playing our song…” However, the Torah reminds us that upon faithful foundations, we
must keep listening and must keep longing to listen.
Sh’mor veshamata… The more we invest in our relationship with God and the more we invest in our relationships
with our families, the more beautiful the music, the more we learn… and the more we are inspired to grow.
Shabbat Shalom.
