Good morning and welcome. Today, we explore a pivotal moment in the journey of the Jewish people as Moses, just days before his passing, imparts vital commandments. In Deuteronomy 27:1, Moses commands Israel to continuously observe all the commandments. This emphasizes that observance is not a one-time act but a lifelong commitment. As they prepare to cross the Jordan, Moses instructs them to erect stones as a memorial of their miraculous crossing. These stones represent a tangible reminder of their covenant with God.

They are to inscribe the words of the Torah on these stones, ensuring that the teachings are accessible to every individual, regardless of language. This act symbolizes the importance of making the Torah relevant and understandable to all people. As they establish themselves in the promised land, they reaffirm their identity as God’s chosen nation. The essence of this lesson is to embody the teachings of the Torah daily.

May we strive to remember and implement these teachings in our lives. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
