Matot-Massei - Haftorah Massei - Jeremiah Ch. IV: 1-2: The second of the three readings of admonition before Tisha B’Av, ends with the consolation: “If you will return, O Israel, says the Lord, Yes, return to Me; and if you will put away your detestable things out of My sight, and will not waver; and will swear: ‘The Lord lives in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; then shall the nations bless themselves by Him, and in Him shall they praise.’”
How do we return to the Lord? First, we must return to the most noble parts of ourselves. Then blessings we receive can flow to others.
May those blessings flow freely and lead to praise.
