A Blessing, a Privilege, and a Sacred Responsibility - Rabbi Joel Nickerson

from Wilshire POV · host Wilshire Boulevard Temple

Right now, we are in the final book of the Torah, Deuteronomy, as Moses prepares the Israelites to enter the Promised Land.  He outlines the values, priorities, and pitfalls they will face as they settle in this new land.  This week’s portion, Re’eh, begins with Moses presenting the Israelites with two choices - “See, this day I set before you blessing and curse…”(Deut. 11:26). The Israelites can either build upon the solid foundation provided to them by the Torah and their predecessors, and be blessed, OR they can forget their past, forget their values, and be cursed.Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
