Weekly Torah Commentary
Ekev – Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25
Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben, Ph.D.
Kehillat Israel Reconstructionist Congregation

Friendships drift away, loved ones die, we find ourselves fighting a serious illness or falling victim to corporate “downsizing” and either having our salaries cut or losing our jobs altogether. It’s remarkable how quickly even the most positive of people can suddenly find themselves haunted by questions of “Why me?” as their lives seem to undergo one blow after another.
