#188 | Devarim ch.34 - An End Without an Ending
17/05/2026 | 14 mins.
In this chapter we narrate Moses' final ascent, to Har Nebo, where he will see the land, restricted from entering it. In this podcast we discuss Moshe's poignant end, having achieved so much but yet not having fully achieved all that he desired. This is an end without an ending.
The poetry of Vezot Habracha is tough. Today we discuss the prologue and the epilogue to Moses' blessings to the tribes. The first depicts Matan Torah, the second depicts God defeating Israel's foes and settling them safely in their land. ----------- To support the podcast, please donate at: https://buymeacoffee.com/alexisrael https://patreon.com/u51407457
