Torah Daily: Daily Doses of Divine Guidance on the Parsha

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.
