Devarim 2007 – The Intent of Moshe Rabbenu’s Final Address

Rabbi Paltiel begins with an introduction to this fifth and final Book of the Chumash. The class then follows with an analysis of the first pasuk (line) of the parsha. The classic commentaries disagree on the intention underlying Moshe Rabbenu’s final address to the Jewish people – is he criticizing them or not? Follow the fascinating debate featuring Rashi, Eben Ezra, Ramban, Sforno, Alshich, Abarbanel, Tziyuni, Shach, and ma’amarim from 5666, 5673, and 5675.
