With the help of Hashem. Re'eh - a jumble of matters.

This is the opening notation of the piece: an invocation of Hashem's help (B'ezras Hashem) at the head of the parsha of Re'eh, followed by a note that what follows is a collection of assorted, loosely-connected matters.

Summary: This is merely the heading of the piece on Parshas Re'eh, opening with the customary invocation of Hashem's help. The author flags at the outset that what follows is a jumble of assorted matters rather than a single sustained line of thought. As such, it serves as an introductory notation framing the divrei Torah that come after it.
