Moses recounts how he pleaded with G‑d to allow him entry into Israel. G‑d refused this request, but instructed Moses to climb a mountain from where he would see the Promised Land. Moses enjoins the people to follow G‑d’s law, and never to add to or detract from it. Moses uses the Baal Peor incident to demonstrate that those who remained faithful to G‑d survived and thrived.

Devarim:
Rabbi Gedalia Meyer's Weekly Torah Study

Fear! It strikes in the heart! It is natural and even beneficial. Sometimes it can lead us to making correct decisions and sometimes it can lead us to wrong decisions. No one wants to be possessed by fear. How do we deal with fear? How do we overcome it?

Why are Young People So Idealistic & How to Stay Young? – Redefining Education and Childhood

Every society has a measuring stick: primitive man measured by one’s physical strength, western man- by his money or prestige.

Gidon and Hutch discussed various topics, including Jewish traditions around mourning, the unity in Israel compared to other parts of the world, and the discrepancy between a man of faith's beliefs and his religion. They also explored what actions to take in the last days, the role of the church in politics, the significance of the Jewish New Year, and the rewards of faithfulness and obedience. The conversation emphasized using God-given gifts to their fullest potential. Watch the video to learn more!

"Thank you for sharing, sir. My thoughts and prayers are with Israel and her people during these three weeks of sorrow "between the straits". May ADONAI answer HIS children "and set them in a wide open place." May ADONAI bless HIS treasured possession and may HIS shalom be upon her."
