Learning About Prayer… from the Worm-Parshas Va’eschanan

By |2024-06-06T09:02:30-04:00July 18, 2021|

The efficacy of prayer is displayed right from the start in this week’s parshah. Moshe made a final plea to be allowed to enter the Land: וָאֶתְחַנַּן אֶל ד' בָּעֵת הַהִוא לֵאמֹר... אֶעְבְּרָה־נָּא וְאֶרְאֶה אֶת־הָאָרֶץ הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן... – “And I entreated Hashem at that time, saying: ... ‘Please, may I cross into and see the good land that is on the other side of the Yarden (River)...” (Devarim 3:23,25).

Hashem had commanded Moshe to fight against Midian as a response to their part in the episode of Shittim, when the daughters of Midian led Yisrael astray. Moshe now dispatched an army to battle the Midianites, as the passuk states:   וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה אֶלֶף לַמַּטֶּה... וְאֶת־פִּינְחָס בֶּן־אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן לַצָּבָא...   וַיִּצְבְּאוּ עַל־מִדְיָן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה ד' אֶת־מֹשֶׁה   – “And Moshe sent [...]
