Moshe warns the people to respect and follow the Mitzvot, neither adding to nor subtracting from their number. They are told to pass down their experiences of Har Sinai to every generation. Moshe warns the people that failure to keep the Mitzvot will result in exile from Israel, but eventually they will return to the Jewish homeland.
After setting aside 3 Cities of Refuge east of the Jordan, Moshe repeats the 10 Commandments.
The 1st paragraph of the Shema follows, containing the Mitzvot to love Hashem, the One and Only G-d; to educate our young; to wear Tefilin and to place a Mezuza on our doorposts.
The Haftora is Yeshayahu 40, Nachamu, Nachamu, the 1st in a series of Haftorot offering consolation for the destruction of Yerushalayim, promising that we will not be forsaken by Hashem. Thus the name of this Shabbat, "Shabbat Nachamu."

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
