Above the
Influence
This week’s
parasha is ‘Ekev. Moses continues to prep the Israelites for their imminent
entrance of the Promised Land. He reminds them of their previous misbehavior in
the realm of forgetting their allegiance to the L-rd, i.e. the sin of the
golden calf (Ki Tissa’) and Baal-peor (Balak). We must stay on our guard
against evil and disrespecting Hashem. The 2nd commandment is to
“have no other gods before me.” (Ex. 20:3). If we choose to live like heathens,
we will live our eternity like them.
