"Because you listen to these ordinances..." Deuteronomy 7:12
The rewards listed for obedience to Torah are both promise and prophecy. Perfect obedience to God's Law is probably impossible for fallen humans, but he never expected perfect obedience. Fortunately, even imperfect obedience brings some blessings. #ekev #torah
YHWH does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:3
This isn't literally about food. The craving of the wicked is to declare themselves righteous by virtue of their own supreme authority, while the craving of the righteous is wisdom, more righteousness, understanding, etc. Consider Matthew 5:6...
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
We wanted a Hebrew clock for our living room, rather than one with "Arabic" or "Roman" numerals, so I looked online and found nothing but cheap junk. I decided to make one, and just finished it. What do you think?
This one exactly matches our furniture. It is natural slate with a handmade frame. I gold-leafed the letters, and the center is beadblasted solid brass. It's about 16 inches square.
Since we liked it somuch and I had extra materials left over, I decided to make 3 more. One will be all brass instead of slate tile, with black frame, numbers & hands; another will be a full 18 inch large natural slate; and another made using a hand finished wooden plate with a brass center.
I'm thinking of selling them and donating the proceeds to our national prison ministry which supports inmates of our faith. Is anyone interested?
God will never forsake His covenant with Israel because apostasy, forgiveness, and restoration are all accounted within it. He knew from the beginning that we wouldn't keep it, but he promised to hold up his end anyway. God never expected perfect obedience from #israel or else #torah wouldn't have provisions for atonement and forgiveness. The blessings that God promised for obedience will always be mixed because we are imperfect and incapable of perfect obedience, but we will still be blessed in the effort.

The name of this week's #torah portion, Ekev, means "because" ("Because you listen...") Here's a list of Apostolic passages to study alongside Parsha #ekev (#deuteronomy 7:12-11:25), plus links to related commentary and video: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/01/22/parsha-ei
Interesting choice of photos for your event - the aircraft depicted is a German "Stuka," the famous and most favored Nazi dive-bomber which killed hundreds of thousands of our allied forces and civilians in World War Two. The Nazi's were also the organization that exterminated 6 million Jews.
