1. The Prohibition of Erasing the Name of God

   Parashat Re'eh

   Rabbi Yehuda Rock

   In Parashat Re'eh we are commanded to abolish idolatry from the Land of Israel, and on the flip side - to avoid destroying altars built for God. Practically, the Torah teaches us not to destroy holy artifacts used for worship in the Temple; but on a spiritual plane we learn a lesson of spreading the name of God throughout the world, and glorifying God's name.
