This week’s Torah portion Va’etchanan, begins the seven shabbatote of consolation leading to Rosh Hashana. The Sh’ma and the v’ahavta are included in this portion. The Sh’ma states Hear O Israel Adonai is our God Adonai is One. This connotes a personal relationship to God . We are told to listen for God’s voice each one of us. This is a hard thing to do because there is so much tumult out there. It says in our Doxology to pay attention to” the small clear voice within us.” This is of course a quote from our liturgy. If we as religious people listen to God, for God I believe speaks to us every day we will do what is right for ourselves and our congregation. The process of searching for the Divine Presence makes us follow the moral path.
