Torah Reading: Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20
In this Torah portion, Moses tells the people of Israel that they stand before God to enter into Covenant with him. He speaks of curses that would come as a result of violating this covenant but that forgiveness and restoration are available to all who repent. Moses goes on to teach that God’s commandments are not beyond reach, and concludes by exhorting God’s people to “choose life” by loving God and keeping his commandments.
