» PARSHAH PICKS: How's Your Vision? (Devarim)
 | | |  | Menachem Av 6, 5772 · July 25, 2012 | General Overview:
| This week's reading begins the Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the Five Books of Moses. Moses begins his final monologue, five weeks before his passing. He recounts the story of the Israelite's travel through the desert, placing emphasis on, and rebuking them for, the story of the spies. He describes Israel's conquest of the Emorites and the Bashanites. |
 | By Rabbi Jonathan Sacks |  |
|  | | THE PARSHAH | | | Deuteronomy 1:1–3:22
For thirty-seven days Moses talks: recalling, reminding, rebuking, warning, promising; about the revelation at Sinai and their journeys through the desert, about spies and wars and victories and the Land and what it's like to serve as a leader of G‑d's chosen people.

By Mendy Herson | | | | | What's puzzling here is the veiled way in which Moses chose to reproach his people. How out of character for a man whose hallmark was clarity and truth! Does not allusion leave room for confusion?
