Starting Point

Where does the Rambam teach the laws of the Mitzva to honor respect ones Parents ?

In the laws of Mamrim - not to rebel. Thus he first teaches that who cursed a Parent , chas vesholom , is put to death or punished with lashes.
Thus we see - sur merah & do good - to honor & respect them.

The Power of Small Talk

In Brochos 3a , where the Gemara teaches the time for Shma in the morning , it says that there are 3 signs for the right time -

- An infant gets up to nurse from its mother ,
- A wife will spend some time conversing with her husband &
- its time to say the Shma.

What is the common denominator of these 3 issues ?

All 3 are essential connections in life.

- A child must have nourishment , food , nutrition & bonding with its mother.

- A marriage must be maintained with small talk. Conversation that bonds , nurtures & develops caring , sharing & private time together.

- time to say the Shma daily - to say we Love Hashem & connect to Him on a daily basis.

Eikev

The word Eikev also means the heel of the body which is not the most important part of the body. Why not name a Sedra after the Head or the Heart ?
One of the answers is that although the heel has a humble position it can hold up the entire body when one stands. ! See Baal Haturim.

Reveiw Time

Sefer Dvarim is called the review of the Torah.
But we see that it contains 200 Mitzvos of the 613 , many of them which are brand new. ?
Thus we learn how to do review. ! Each time we are to study deeper & to see new levels of profound meaning.
We also learn to spend at least a fifth of our time on review. !
