Out Here in the Field

(Parashat Ki Teitzei, Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19)
Elul 13, 5772/August 31, 2012


We are here in the midst of the month of Elul, just weeks away from the Days of Awe - Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. We are also in the midst of the "field"," the great metaphor symbolizing the spiritual opportunity afforded by the month of Elul: "The King is in the field!" That is, the King - G-d, Sovereign over our souls, our beings and our destinies has emerged, as it were, from the remote unapproachable recesses of omnipotence, and has made Himself irresistibly accessible in the field - in our domain. Our domain, if we recall, is the domain of decision making, the domain of discerning between good and bad, right and wrong, that Adam chose for his progeny. In other words, as we approach the new year and the days of accounting and judgment that open the new year, we are being told in no uncertain terms: Although we have chosen for ourselves and have assumed upon ourselves the great responsibility of making our own choices and forging our own paths in life, G-d, the One source of the truth that we seek in order to inform our decisions, is right here with us. He is by our side and we are not alone.
This same metaphor of the field appears two times in our current Torah reading of Ki Teitzei, and each instance resonates fully with the message of Elul. "If you go out to war against your enemies, and HaShem, your G-d, will deliver him into your hands, and you take his captives, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman and you desire her, you may take her for yourself as a wife." (Deuteronomy 21:10-11) The verses which follow place certain conditions upon the victorious warrior, designed to encourage a decision and a course of action based on contemplation and consideration, not on passion or base instinct. The field being described here is the battlefield. Of course the commandment is intended to be taken literally, (and should be, amidst the atrocities of modern times), but it can also be understood to be the battlefield of our daily struggle to choose good over evil, to base our personal choices on contemplation and consideration, not on passion or base instinct. Torah does not judge our warrior or question his character. Perhaps he is in danger of succumbing to his baser instincts, as the commentator Rashi suggests, Or perhaps he is truly being led by a Divine inspiration as the Ohr HaChaim suggests. But by providing a guide to help get him through the minefield of conflicting choices, Torah is extending a helping hand. The King is in the field - the battlefield - and His truth is there for the warrior to reflect!
Later in our reading, Torah deals with the case of the betrothed maiden. (ibid 21:23-27) The question of her culpability is contingent upon the location of the crime. Was it committed in the city or was it committed in the field? On the literal level, the question is whether it can be presumed that the maiden cried out for help. In the city her cries would be heard, but in the field they would go unheard and her innocence can be presumed. On the metaphorical level the city is a place of isolation where man is so caught in the mundane details of daily existence that G-d, for him or her, is a million miles away. Out of earshot. In the field, however, the level playing field, G-d is always nigh, ready to lend His mighty hand to guide us through life. Of course the verdict for our maiden in the field is innocent - for in the field her cry is heard by G-d and her actions are informed by His truth.
In the original field, the one known as the Garden of Eden, Adam also required a guiding hand, and yes, G-d was exceedingly close by: "And they heard the voice of HaShem G-d going in the garden." (Genesis 3:8) How tragic that when G-d asked, "Where are you?" (ibid 3:9) Adam did not say, "Out here in the field, G-d, where You are so close!" Instead he replied, "I was afraid[...] so I hid." (ibid 3:10)
Which brings us back, of course, to the ultimate field metaphor - the Holy Temple itself. When we understand the Holy Temple in this context, its significance and centrality is self evident. The Holy Temple is the place where man and G-d are always in close proximity. It's the place where G-d is there always and we are always welcome. It is home in the most profound sense of the word: Home for man. A field of dreams and limitless possibilities for mankind.
 
Temple TalkTune in to this week's Temple Talk, as Rabbi Chaim Rabbi Richman and Yitzchak Reuven take a not-at-all wistful look at Ramadan Woodstock and the week-after refuse on the Temple Mount. What is the difference between the longing of ahava - love - and the yearning of devekut - clinging? Joni said it so well: "I Remember the Time You Told Me, 'Love is Touching Souls.'" How is it that after two thousand years of exile we can say with complete sincerity that when it come to us Jews and the Temple Mount: We've never been apart! Yes, ma'am, they can thrash it and trash it, but the Mount remains a part of us - and that they cannot take away!

Please Say Yes to Abba Yahweh and His Laws.
It is written in the Koran:
‘1. Surah Al-Fatihah:
1. In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
2. All the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 
3. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
4. The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
5. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
6. Guide us to the Straight Way
7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).

This is the 'start' in the Koran......

Please read the Mitzvoth go to: Positive Commandments and the Negative Commandments), easy to read. It is very important to know them. I don’t ask you this to become a good Jew! But to learn who you really are. That you can find your real identity.  In a good understanding of the rest of The Scriptures. And that you understand that Rabbi Shaul is talking to a real Israel,

1Co 10:1  I do not want you to be without da'as (knowledge), Achim (brothers) b(in) 'Moshiach, that Avoteinu (our fore Fathers, you Yehudah and Ephraim! Nobody else.) all were under the anan (cloud),

(‘Achim (brothers) b(in)Moshiach are Yehudah and Ephraim who were all under the anan (cloud). The seed (literal) of Abraham, Yitzhak and Ya’acob) read it for yourself :)

Exo 13:21 And Yahweh went before them (Yehudah and Ephraim -Israel) by day in an ammud anan (‘Pillar of a cloud), to guide them haderech (the Way); and by lailah (night) in an ammud eish (‘Pillar of fire), to give them ohr (light); so they could travel yomam valailah (day or night);
Exo 13:22 He took not away the amud heanan (‘Pillar of a cloud) by day, nor the ammud haeish (‘Pillar of fire) by night, from before HaAm (the people, Yehudah and Ephraim) and passed through the sea.
Exo 14:22 And the Bnei Yisroel (Yehudah and Ephraim) then went into the middle of the yam (sea) upon the yabashah (dry land); and the mayim (waters) were a chomah (wall) unto them on their right, and on their left.
Exo 14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the yam (sea), even kol sus (all horses) Pharaoh, his chariots, and his parash (rider).
Exo 14:24 So it came to pass, that when came the watch of the boker (morning), Yahweh looked down on the machaneh Mitzrayim (camp of Egypt) through the ammud eish (pillar of fire) and of the anan (cloud), and caused confusion over the machaneh Mitzrayim (camp of Egypt),
Exo 14:25 And turned awry their chariot wheels, that they drove them with difficulty; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the presence of Yisroel (really when Yehudah and Ephraim where together, not like today); because Yahweh fighting for them against the Egyptians,
So let we further listen what Rabbi Shaul has really to say:)
1Co 10:2  And all into Moshe Rabbenu were given tevilah (a ‘mikwah’ immersed) in the anan (cloud) and in the sea,
1Co 10:3  And all of the same spiritual okhel (food) ate [SHEMOT 16:4,35; DEVARIM 8:3; TEHILLIM 78:24-29],
1Co 10:4  And all of the same spiritual drink drank, for they were drinking from a spiritual TZUR (Rock) following them [SHEMOT 17:6; BAMIDBAR 20:11; TEHILLIM 78:15; 105:41], and that TZUR was Moshiach (Yeshuah – Yeshuah Yahweh).

And now one of our neviim:

Hab 2:3  For the chazon (vision) is yet for a mo’ed (an appointed time); it speaks of HaKetz (the End), and does not lie; though it tarry, wait for him

Moshiach— see: Sanhedrin 97b, ‘It has been taught; R. Nathan said: This verse pierces and descends to the very abyss:
11 For the Vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though he tarry, wait for him (Moshiach); because it will surely come, it will not tarry.12]; because he (Moshiach) will surely come, and will not tarry.

(11) Just as the bottom of an abyss cannot be reached, so is it impossible to grasp the full purport of this verse (Rashi).
(12)
Hab. II, 3.

Believe…..
Hab 2:4  Hinei (behold), his nashamah (soul) which is puffed up is not upright in him; but the tzaddik (righteous) shall live by his emunah (believe).

Through Moshiach, Yeshuah from Yahweh who give you emunah (believe)…..

Gen 15:6 And he believed in Yahweh; and He credited emunah (faith)] to him as tzedakah (righteousness).

Please read the whole book of HaNavi Habakuk?

The Koran teaches us that you have to die…….

 But, please Yudah (Jews) and Ephraim (most Christians) Listen to His Voice:
Hab 1:12  Art thou not mikedem 
 (‘everlasting’ also said of Moshiach, indicating Moshiach’s eternal divine nature: Dan 7:14  And there was given Him (Moshiach) dominion, and honor, and sovereignty, that all people, Goyim, tongues, should pey-lammed-chet. [1] (worship as deity) (see Dan 3:12, serve, reverence as deity Him (Moshiach). His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His (Messianic) Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.] see Michah 5:1[2];)  
Yahweh Elohai (my Elohim) Kedoshi (my Holy One)? We shall not die. Yahweh, Thou hast appointed them (these Chaldean) for mishpat (ordinance); O Tzur (Rock), Thou hast ordained them (these Chaldean) for reproof.
Maran Rabbeinu Yeshuah and Rabbeinu Shaul are teaching that you, Yehudah and Ephraim all Israel, come together to the same point as where you were when you said:

Deu 5:27 Go thou near, and hear all that Yahweh Eloheinu (our Elohim) shall say; and speak thou unto us all that Yahweh Eloheinu shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

But don’t ‘make’ from one of them Rabbeinu Yeshuah, Rabbeinu Shaul or Rabbeinu Mosheh another ‘mighty one’ but accept them in your live for what they really are….

Please take it serious what Abba Yahweh is telling us in:

Deu 18:15 Yahweh Eloheicha (your Elohim) will raise up unto thee a Navi (prophet) from among thee, of thy achim (bretheren), kamoni (like me..... 
 Exo 32:30  The next day Moshe said to the people, "You have committed a terrible sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh; maybe I will be able to atone for your sin."); unto him ye must listen;
Deu 18:16 According to all that thou desired of Yahweh Eloheicha (your Elohimin) Chorev (to be burnt dried up, ruined, wasted) in the Yom HaKahal (day of the congregation), saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yahweh Elohav (your Elohim), neither let me see this eish hagedolah (‘great fire’) any more, that I die not.
Deu 18:17 And Yahweh said unto me, They have well-spoken that which they have spoken.
Deu 18:18 I will raise them up a Navi (prophet) from among their achim (brethren), like unto thee, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Joh 10:18  No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have samchut (authority) to lay it down, and I have samchut to receive it again. This mitzvah I received from HaAv (the Father).
Deu 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not listen unto My words which he shall speak Bishmi (in My Name), I will require it of him.
Joh 8:28  Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, When you perform the hagbah (lifting up) of the Ben HaAdam, you will have da'as (knowledge) that Ani Hu [YESHAYAH 41:4; SHEMOT 3:14-16], and from myself I do nothing, but as HaAv (the Father) of me taught me, these things I speak.

Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiah Yeshuah – is Yeshuah Yahweh. Like it is said in:

Gen_49:18 I have waited for Thy Yeshuah (Salvation), Yahweh.
Exo_15:2 Yahweh is my oz and zimrah (song of praise), and He is become to me Yeshuah (salvation); He is Eli (my Elohim), and I will praise Him; Elohei Avi (the Elohim of my Father), and I will exalt Him.

And not a half-god, or another mighty-one who came between HaShem and us! (Not, ‘It Suph’!) I believe many of us (Jews and Ephraimites!) have to learn that!
