Hello/Bonjour [nickname_else_first_name],

ROCH HODECH AV – LUNDI 24 JUILLET 2017

Donc le jeûne de Tich’a Béav tombe le mardi 1er Août

Interdiction de manger de la viande ou boire du vin à partir de ce lundi soir jusqu’au

             Mercredi 2 Août, le lendemain du jeûne de Tich’a Béav.

Ce matin, nous lisons 2 Parachiot, Matot et Mass’é/  La Haftara de Mass’é

PARACHAT MATOT EN BREF :

Moïse communique les lois régissant l’annulation des vœux aux chefs des Tribus d’Israël.La guerre est engagée contre Midian pour leur participation au complot pour la destruction morale d’Israël.

La Torah fait un récit détaillé du butin recueilli et de sa distribution entre le peuple, les combattants, les Lévites et le Grand-Prêtre.

Les tribus de Réouven et de Gad (rejointes ensuite par la moitié de la tribu de Ménaché) demandent que leur part de la Terre Promise leur soit attribuée à l’est du Jourdain, s’agissant d’un pâturage de choix pour leurs troupeaux. Moïse, d’abord irrité par cette demande, l’accepte sous la condition que ces tribus participent – et mènent – d’abord à la conquête des terres à l’ouest du Jourdain

PARACHAT MASS’É EN BREF :

Les quarante-deux étapes des enfants d’Israël depuis la sortie d’Égypte sont énumérées, depuis l’exode d’Égypte jusqu’aux plaines de Moab, sur le versant du fleuve faisant face à la terre de Canaan.

Les frontières de la Terre Promise sont indiquées et les villes de refuge sont désignées, qui serviront de lieu de protection et d’exil aux meurtriers involontaires. Les cinq filles de Tselof’had épousent des hommes de leur propre tribu (celle de Ménaché) afin d’y maintenir le territoire reçu en héritage de leur père.

Avec cette Paracha s’achève le livre de Bamidbar (le livre des Nombres), le quatrième livre de la Torah. (Chabad.org)

CHOIX  DES HAFTAROT

D’habitude la Haftara de la semaine se rapporte à la Paracha. Mais depuis la semaine dernière, le choix des Haftarot a changé.  A partir du Chabbat suivant le jeûne du 17 Tamouz,  nous lisons 3 Haftarot qui parlent d’affliction et de lamentations, et seront suivies par 7 Haftarot dont le thème principal  est la consolation. Et puis  les 2 dernières Haftarot qui sont lues entre Ropch Hachana et Yom Kippour appellent la nation à se repentir , et une fois la Téchouva, acceptée, Hachem pardonnera à son peuple.

Quant aux Parachiot, nous terminons ce Chabbat la lecture du le 4 ème livre de la Torah et lirons le Chabbat prochain Parachat Dévarim qui tombe toujours le Chabbat précédent Tich’a Béav, et qui sera suivie de Vaéthanan , incluant la lecture des 10 commandements, qui est lue le Chabbat qui suit Tich’a Béav.
