Moses, the man not-of-words, gives a wordy address that encompasses most of the fifth and final book of the Torah.
Unlike the first four books of the Torah, Moses's speech expresses the prohibition against idolatry by repeatedly warning against serving gods that we "do not experience".
And close to the beginning of his speech, Moses utters the biblical expression of lamentation-"Eichah"- in stating his inability to lead Israel alone. Join us this week as we explore the connections between these striking features of Deuteronomy, and much more.
