He alone and nothing else
A central theme in Parshas Vaeschanan is the commandment of Achdus Hashem — the absolute oneness of G-d. The primary sources on this essential topic, in-fact, one of the principles of the Jewish faith, are included within the parsha. First, there is the famous passuk of “You shall know this day and consider it in your heart, that Hashem, He is G-d, in the heavens above, and upon the earth below; there is none else.” Then, there is the even more famous pasuk of Shema Yisrael, declaring that “Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is One.”

The Inevitability Principle
The inevitability principle in politics is the fallacy that once democracy takes hold in an area, it will continue to flourish and spread. Democracies do not go backwards, or so the theory goes. Once people have tasted freedom, and have the education and resources to enjoy it, they will never want to go backwards. They will never slide back into authoritarianism or totalitarianism. No matter how dire things get, they will always work out somehow.

A HOUSE FULL OF ANGELS
What’s the point of seeing the Beis HaMikdash on Shabbos Chazon if on that very day it is destroyed, G-d forbid?! * “One who does not strive to fulfill the mission to bring tzaddikim to t’shuva is as if he did not fulfill the shlichus of his Master” * Our job is to inspire everyone to heightened enthusiasm and wonderment in the awesome time we live in, the threshold of Redemption.
