Nitzavim-Vayeilech - 1st Portion

Moshe addresses the entire Jewish People, from the heads of tribes to the water-carriers for the purpose of sealing G-d’s covenant with them, and with all future generations. Moshe told the Jewish people that G-d was sealing His covenant not only with them but with all generations of Jews. Moshe explains why it is necessary to renew and strengthen the covenant that G-d first forged with the Jewish people at Mount Sinai. Perhaps in the intervening years, some of them began to think that they could avoid G-d’s corrective punishment if they would be disloyal to Him.
