Devarim: After Sinai: Moses’s Last Reckoning

Good Afternoon, Baila

You share excellent Torah wisdom in, Torah in Seven. I am excited when I see your email(s). What will we learn today!?
Moses opens Genesis with the "words," "In the beginning GD created". . . In his last book, Deuteronomy, he ends it with, "These are the "words" in his Farewell Speech to his people - the Jews. Your brief lecture supports the late Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks [bless his righteous memory] as he conveyed that Judaism is a holy language of "words," covenantal relationship and promises, records history, and connect worlds [Sacks, Jonathan."The World We Make With Our Words." The Edgar M. Bronfman Center, 21 Apr 2016]. Your lesson demonstrated Moses unconditional love for not only his people, but for the world. It expresses Divine affection and devotion. The Jews have contributed many great exploits to the world, but their greatest gift to the world is One GD, love, light, the Holy Torah, morality, and history. TU. 🕊💜 Reply

Thank you for your continuous work. Torah in 7 is a beautiful way to summarize and give meaning to what we learn weekly. A beautiful mitzvah you do for us, your listeners. Baruch Hashem. Reply

Thank you Baila Olidort for sharing this inspiring teaching with us.
Thank you Chabad.org for this valuable resource.

For some reason this teaching caused an emotional reaction within me. I see Moshe's leadership in a different light. A very personal one. Moshe was always a "man of the people" without personal cincetn at all. Devarim takes it to a different level altogether.Also the Aibishter gave Moshe a voice for the whole book. That was a unique, amazing gift that beautifully illustrates how closely connected and aligned the Aibishter and Moshe were by the end of his journey on earth. Reply

beautiful shiur! Maybe you can lower the music as it distracts from the message. Reply
