➡️  Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Re'eh - פרשת ראה  

This week we read about a time when a false prophet comes along, and after doing some kind of supernatural sign, tries to get Am Yisrael to worship idols.  

You’d think, that the Torah would give us some rules & tools, to figure out if this person is lying, especially since this person carries out a supernatural sign - and this is one of the ways we test to see if a prophet is telling the truth (as we’ll learn next week) - but the Torah does no such thing. 

Instead, the Torah just tells us “don’t believe the prophet, Hashem is testing you”. 

Which makes the question even bigger - how are we supposed to know it’s a test - if we don’t have the tools so cope with this situation??  

How is Hashem testing us, but not giving us the way to understand it’s a test??  

What’s going on here - and how is this very important topic - relevant for us today??
