For Parshat Re'eh
i
Moses says: When you come to the Land—
Stand upon Mount Grizim. Pronounce blessing for following God’s ways.
Stand upon Mount Eival. Pronounce curse for defying God’s ways.
*
Moses says:
Do not be like those who worship upon the high mountains and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
Worship at the place that God will choose.
ii
Moses says:
You are not here to join to the whole universe.
You are here to shape just a few corners of the world—
Infuse those few corners with sanctity, with blessing, with an upright life.
