Parshat Nitzavim
This week’s Torah portion Nitzavim means “standing” and is found in Deuteronomy 29:9. Moses addresses the unity of all Israelites regardless of age, gender, marital status, financial and social status, who “stand today” before the L‑rd their G‑d.” Moses warns that we have free choice to follow the Torah, the mitzvot and honor our covanental relationship with G-d who brought us out of slavery in Egypt. If we don’t, we will be scattered abroad while the land becomes desolate. But, if we do choose to follow G-d’s ways, the mitzvot, we will return to the land and G-d will forgive us.
