PARSHA-PIX - Parshat Eikev

Parsha Pix
Six of the Seven Species (8:8) are represented: 
Wheat is the one at the upper left. 
Barley is the stalks between the martini and the grenade. 
You can't miss the grapes. 
Figs are not represented. 
Pomegranate is represented by the hand grenade, known as a RIMON in Hebrew. Rimon is a pomegranate. (Interesting that a granade is nicknamed pineapple in English.) 
The olive is in the martini glass, 
and there is a date (the 31st) on the calendar in the upper right corner.
The Land is also described as being a land whose rocks are iron (Fe on the piece of rock), and from whose mountains you can extract copper. That's the penny on the hill.
It is in Parshat Eikev that Moshe recounts for the people the story of the Golden Calf, the breaking of the Luchot, and the second Luchot. Towards the center is a pair of stone tablets and in the lower left is a sceen of the Golden Calf.
The second passage of the Sh'ma is in Eikev. It contains the mitzva of Mezuza and a reminder of the "deal" we have with G-d. If we listen to the Mitzvot (preserve them, keep them, practice them), then we will receive rainfall in its proper time. That's the cloud with drops of rain. But if we don't observe and preserve the mitzvot, then G-d will "lock" the heavens and there will not (G-d forbid) be rainfall, and the ground will not give up its bounty, and we will be lost...

TTRIDDLES...
are Torah Tidbits - style riddles on Parshat HaShavua (sometimes on the calendar events of the week). The best solution set submitted each week (there isn’t always a best) wins a double prize — a CD from...Noam Productions and/or a gift (game, puzzle, book, etc.) from...Big Deal A fun place to shop
Even if you can’t solve any, they are fun (and sometimes informative) to read about in the weekly TTriddles report (which is what you’re reading now).

Last week's (Va’etchanan) TTriddles:
[1] As G-d commanded Shabbat, honoring parents, and... what?
[2] Thirteen days later than you might have thought
[3] What type of therapy did G-d want us to learn?

And the envelope please...
[1] As G-d has commanded you, KA’ASHER TZIVCHA HASHEM ELOKECHA. This phrase appears three times in the Torah. Twice in the Va’etchanan version of the Aseret HaDibrot - Shabbat and honoring parents. And once more in Ki Teitzei, with the command to completely wipe out the “7 nations” when we enter Eretz Yisrael.
[2] If TU B’AV means to you 2 of Av, then TU b’Av will be 13 days later (on the 15th) than you think.
[3] Based on a TTriddle-corrupted reading of D’varim 4:18, we have: And O.T. G-d commanded me to teach you... The answer is Occupational Therapy.
Kol HaKavod to TTriddles solvers (partial) RHM, DM, MM, Bklyn, AA (sans cigar)...mayber there were others - if I lost you, sorry.

This weeks TTriddles:
[1] This week's with all your heart
[2] SH'CHITA KNIFE
[3] Hearken (last week); What (this week)
[4] Last week's double opener continues, sort of
[5] THE COEUR-NUQUE CONNECTION
[6] That was during the years of wandering. But now you might need...Which one of TT sponsors/advertisers can use that line in his ad? (does not appear every week)
[7] Red ball in English, Kadur Adom in Hebrew. What Hebrew phrase works like the English?
