The Choice of Life and Death - Torah Portion - Nitzavim-Vayelech: (Deuteronomy 29:10–31:30) by Shawn Ozbun

The Ma'amar Mordechai writes at the beginning of Parashat Nitzavim that we always read Nitzavim before Rosh Hashanah to teach us that at this time of year, we are supposed to be praying on behalf of our friends every single day. The Perach Shoshan explains a beautiful hint in the words Atem Nitzavim Hayom . The word Nitzavim means standing, and Chazal tell us that standing is a reference to tefillah. Atem Nitzavim Hayom —we're all standing together in tefillah at this special time before Rosh Hashanah. Then he quotes the Be'er Heitev, who brings down in halachah that during this month, when a person writes a letter to his friend, he should bless him that he should be inscribed and sealed for a good year. Thus, we should be praying for our friends as well. At this time, we are supposed to be giving out blessings to others, wishing good things upon them and praying that they receive them. This is a time when we need extra love and unity. We are all going to come together to proclaim Hashem the Melech, and we should do it together as one. The Baal HaTurim writes on the words Atem Nitzavim that just as the Jewish People stood together in unity at Har Sinai, so too they stood together then, and so too must we stand together now. We should be thinking about each other, caring about each other and praying on behalf of each other. And there is a great zechut when we do that. A man told me that last year, he and his friend were working together in the same company. Things there were getting worse and worse until eventually they weren't making any money. They finally decided together that they were going to leave. They had no idea where they were going to go or what they would do next, but they decided they were going to learn Shaar HaBitachon together every single day. They learned as chavrutot and grew together in bitachon and emunah. They also made up that each one would pray for the other to find a good job. After some time, someone reached out to one of the men with a job opportunity. He went for an interview and liked what he heard. While they were still going back and forth, he heard about a second opportunity. He looked into that one as well and felt it would be much better for him. The first company told him there was no urgency, and if he wanted to pursue the other opportunity, it wouldn't be a problem. He should just let them know. In the end, he was hired by the second company. That very same day, the first company called him and asked what he had decided. He told them he had just accepted another position, but then he added, "I have a friend who is also looking for a job." That friend immediately went down for an interview, and they hired him on the spot. The two friends who had left their jobs together, learned Shaar HaBitachon together and prayed for each other every single day were both hired exactly three months after leaving their previous jobs—and they were both hired on the exact same day. This is a beautiful example of what Atem Nitzavim could look like in our own lives. Two people growing together, strengthening each other and each one sincerely praying for the other's success. And then Hashem looked down upon them and answered both of their tefillot together. As Rosh Hashanah approaches, we all have so much that we need and so much that we're praying for. But we should also utilize this special time to think about what others need. We should pray for our friends, bless them and genuinely want Hashem to give them everything they need. When Hashem sees all of His children standing together with love and unity, each one wanting the best for the other, that is a great zechut. May we all wish good upon each other and pray for each other, and in that zechut, may Hashem bless everyone with a wonderful and beautiful new year. Shabbat Shalom

Rabbi Gestetner - Parshat Nitzavim-Vayelech 5786 by Mayanot

Sing it, sister!

One of my Rebbe's essential life principles is, "I wouldn't do it to you. But if you do it to me – it's okay." If you do something bad to me and I could really get back at you for it — and I give up on that — I resist the knee-jerk reaction to take revenge, the Gemara says that Hashem responds measure for measure and forgives all my sins. All my sins. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. A 'miracle story' with a twist Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem.

But where do we begin when real change feels overwhelming? In this episode, we explore Rashi and Rav Yonasan Eibeshitz's powerful insight into Teshuvah. G-d does not expect us to transform everything before the new year begins. He asks us to take one sincere step in the right direction, and promises to help us continue the journey.

This week we are reading a double Torah portion. The reading portions are called Nitzavim and Vayelech, and together they cover Deuteronomy 29:10–31:30. They capture Moses's final charge to the assembled Israelites as his life nears its end. For the last time as their leader, Moses exhorts them to commit themselves to an enduring covenant with God. Moses transfers leadership to Joshua and arranges for the written law to be preserved alongside the Ark of the Covenant.Although much of God's covenant with his people was revolutionary, the literary framework in which Moses presented it was familiar to the Israelites. In fact, the covenant was arranged in a format that any nation in the ancient Near East would have recognized. This understanding, that the covenant is following a common format, is something relatively new to biblical historians. Only in the last century have we learned a great deal about bilateral covenant-making in the ancient Near East.Support the showConsider donating (one-time or recurring) to www.TheJerusalemConnection.us so we can continue to bring valuable content via podcasts free to the public.

Chelek 29, Nitzavin-Vayelech - Mrs. Rivky Slonim

The Torah in Parashat Nisavim foresees the time when Beneh Yisrael would be banished into exile on account of their breach of their covenant with G-d, describing, "Va'yashlichem Be'eretz Aheret" – Hashem's casting the nation into a different land (29:27). Those who look carefully at the Torah scroll will notice that the letter Lamed in the word "Va'yashlichem" is written larger than the other letters of the Torah. Enlarged letters in the Torah function like bolded text, or capitalized letters, in modern-day writing, denoting emphasis. What might the Torah have sought to emphasize with the enlarged Lamed in this word? Perhaps we can answer this question by understanding the unique significance of this letter. Several great Rabbis taught that as the word "Lamed" means "learn," this letter is associated with Torah study. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) explains on this basis the unique shape of the letter Lamed, which is drawn with a vertical line on top, followed by a horizontal line, and then another vertical line dropping down. This shape, the Ben Ish Hai writes, represents the process of Torah tradition. The top vertical line represents the transmission of Torah wisdom as it "descends" from the scholar to his disciple. The horizontal line represents the learning that takes place among peers, how the students – who are generally on the same level, like points on a horizontal line – learn and gain from another. The line descending from that horizonal line symbolizes the students' then transmitting their knowledge and wisdom down to their offspring and students. If, indeed, the letter Lamed represents Torah learning, then we can perhaps explain the significance of the enlarged letter Lamed in the word "Va'yachlichem." As mentioned, this word speaks of the Jews leaving into exile, where they would live amidst, and under the authority of, foreign nations. The Torah is alluding to us that when this happens, when we are driven to exile, the Lamed – Torah learning – must be our central point of focus. Living among foreign cultures, we face two potential challenges: persecution, and assimilation. In some exiles, the primary hardship involved the foreign governments' attempts to ban Jewish learning and practice, to pull us away from our faith and our traditions by force. But in other eras, such as in our current exile here in the United States, the challenge is assimilation. We are, thank G-d, free to practice our religion without any restrictions, but with all the freedoms we enjoy come the lures and pressures of our society. Its beliefs are not our beliefs, its values are not our values, and its lifestyle is not our lifestyle. As a small minority, we face the constant pressure to accept the beliefs, values and lifestyle of our surroundings. This is why the Lamed is enlarged. The most effective and most important weapon we have in our arsenal with which to defend ourselves against the unrelenting cultural pressure to which we are subject in exile is Torah learning. When we learn Torah, we submerge ourselves in our faith, in our values, in our traditions, in our laws and customs. Torah learning of course is and always was a vitally important part of Jewish life, for several reasons, but in exile – and especially in our current reality – it serves the function of anchoring us to our spiritual core, and fortifying us against the hostile spiritual influences of general society. Let us, then, redouble our commitment to Torah learning, so we will survive this exile both physically and spiritually, and be worthy of our final redemption, speedily and in our time, Amen.

What do we hope will remain of our teachings when we are no longer there to teach them? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Deborah Anstandig explore Parshat Nitzavim-Vayelech through Moses' final days as teacher and leader. As Moses prepares the people for a future without him, he offers more than instructions—he creates a legacy meant to endure through gathering, teaching, writing, and honest reflection. The conversation asks how we pass on the values that matter most and how the people who shape us continue to guide us even after they are gone.
