Readings for Devarim

Haftarah:

Isaiah 1:1-27

Devarim in a Nutshell

Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22

On the first of Shevat (thirty-seven days before his passing), Moses begins his repetition of the Torah to the assembled children of Israel, reviewing the events that occurred and the laws that were given in the course of their forty-year journeyfrom Egypt to Sinai to the Promised Land, rebuking the people for their failings and iniquities, and enjoining them to keep the Torah and observe its commandments in the land that G‑d is giving them as an eternal heritage, into which they shall cross after his death.

Moshé recuerda el nombramiento de jueces y magistrados para aliviar la carga de administrar justicia a la gente y enseñarles la palabra de Di-s; el viaje desde Sinaí a través del enorme y temeroso desierto; el enviado de espías y el subsiguiente rechazo de la Tierra Prometida, de manera que Di-s decretó que la toda generación del Éxodo debía perecer en el desierto(…)

Compiled by Mordechai Rubin

5 Powerful Insights From the Rebbe – Matot-Mass

Enjoy four short thoughts and a video adapted from the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe on Parshat Matot-Massei.

On the spiritual plane, there exist six “cities of refuge” for the spiritual “murderer.” Life, in the true and ultimate sense, is connection with the Divine source of being and vitality; an act of transgression against the Divine will is a subtle form of “murder,” as it hinders the flow of vitality from G‑d to creation. The words of the Torah, say our sages, are the “cities of refuge” for the destroyer of spiritual life: if he flees into the Torah and immerses himself in it, the Torah will protect him from the adverse results of his deed.
