This name comes from this week’s Haftorah, the first of seven where G-d comforts us for our pain and suffering. The prophet Yeshayahu reassures us that G-d has not forgotten us, heaven forbid. The Haftorah begins with Yeshayahu telling the Jewish nation, נחמו נחמו עמי יאמר אלקיכם - "Comfort, oh comfort My people, says your G-d." May we experience this comfort, reassurance, and the ultimate redemption speedily in our days. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com  Our Parsha begins with Moshe Rabbeinu continuing his final address to the Jewish people.  He recounts how he begged G-d to let him enter the land of Israel and how G-d refused his request. Instead, he was instructed to climb a mountain where he would see the land from afar. We find out when Moshe Rabbeinu prayed to enter the land of Israel.  We learn the prayer to not stumble or hesitate when defending and proclaiming God's Oneness.
