In this class, Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi shares two powerful lessons from Parashat Re’eh. The first teaching comes from the verse Banim Atem LaHashem Elokeichem—“You are children of Hashem.” The Torah forbids self-harm in mourning, reminding us that even in times of loss, life continues with purpose. A Jew’s mission is to serve Hashem each day, and that responsibility gives meaning even through grief.
The second lesson explores why the Torah emphasizes that Yaakov Avinu left Be’er Sheva on his way to Charan. Rashi explains that the presence of a righteous person changes a place, and when they leave, their absence is deeply felt. Rabbi Rahimi expands on this insight, showing how our actions and presence influence our surroundings.
This episode is dedicated l’ilui nishmat Yosef ben Mazal Malamala and refuah sheleima for Aviva Bracha bat Ora.
