In this week’s portion from Deuteronomy, chapter 29, we witness a poignant moment as Moses addresses the Israelites just before his passing. He reminds them of the miraculous signs and wonders they experienced during their time in Egypt and their journey through the desert. Although many in this generation did not directly endure slavery, they carry the legacy of their ancestors. Moses emphasizes the importance of understanding the magnitude of their experiences, revealing that true comprehension often requires time. After 40 years of trials and learning, they are finally on the brink of appreciating God's kindness and the depth of the Torah. With a blend of nostalgia and hope, Moses urges the people to uphold their covenant with God, marking this moment as a pivotal time of maturity and recognition.

Good morning and welcome. This week’s portion from Deuteronomy, chapter 29, brings us to the poignant moment before Moses' passing. He addresses the people, reminding them of the miracles they witnessed in Egypt and throughout their journey in the desert. This generation, though many had not directly experienced slavery, carries the memories of their ancestors. Moses emphasizes that even with all they have seen, they still lack the heart and understanding to fully recognize God's kindness until now.

He shares a significant reflection: true comprehension often takes time, sometimes decades. After 40 years, the Israelites are finally able to appreciate the depth of their journey, the greatness of their God, and the wisdom of the Torah. Moses urges them to adhere to their covenant with God, as their newfound understanding marks a maturation in their relationship with the Divine.

May we also strive to see the broader picture in our lives, recognizing the blessings that surround us and the lessons learned through time. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
