This week we begin the fifth and final book of the Torah, D'varim or, in English, Deuteronomy. This week's portion reads like bullet points for the events that we have been reading regarding which specific territory we are to fight for, which ones we are NOT to fight for, who will be permitted to enter the Promised Land and who will not. It is concise, which makes it a narrative easy to memorize and pass on to the next generation.
This portion even discusses GAZA! Our troubles are as recent as today and as distant as thousands of years ago.
The Promised Land was fought hard for... and continues to be.
Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Rose
