After forging another covenant between the nation and God and explicating the consequences thereof, Moshe presents the nation with a choice: \"Behold I have placed before you today: life and good vs. death and bad... Choose life.\" There are two options for us: life that amounts to good or death that amounts to bad. What is the nature of this binary choice? What is Moshe trying to convey to the Nation? Why are we commanded to choose life? Isn't it obvious that any sensible person will make that choice? In the final parsha Podcast before Rosh Hashana, we explore the stark choice that Moshe placed before the Nation, a choice that truthfully faces each one of us. \n– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –\nThis Parsha Podcast is dedicated by my dear friend, Dr. Paul Block, in loving memory and leilui nishmas his mother, Mrs. Mildred Block OB\"M, מינדל בת רב צבי הירש, whose first yartzeit is כב אלול.
