There’s Always a Way Back - Parshat Devarim | Rabbi Daniel Rowe

Why is Sefer Devarim called Mishneh Torah, a repetition of the Torah, when it introduces so many mitzvot for the first time? And how did Moshe, who once declared “I am not a man of words,” become the speaker whose words fill an entire book? In this shiur on Parshat Devarim, Rabbi Rowe uncovers the profound connection between Moshe’s speeches, the mysterious Refaim, the fallen angels of Bereishit, and the giving of the Torah at Sinai. Moshe discovered that Torah does not remain in heaven. It reaches human beings precisely where they are, guiding them through temptation, failure and spiritual decline. Many of Devarim’s mitzvot address what happens when the ideal breaks down: when war becomes necessary, a marriage fails, leadership falters, or the Torah itself is forgotten. The message of Devarim, especially as we approach Tisha B’Av, is that failure is never the end. There is always another route, another opportunity, and another way back. God never gives up on us. ---------------------------- Get a chance to hear these Rabbis speak first hand by joining us in Israel! APPLY HERE: https://foundations.aish.com
