Description

In this week's episode, Modya and David discuss parshat Re'eh (Deut. 11:26-16:17) through the lens of Emet (Truth). Among other directives, Moses directs the people to choose between blessing and curse, and to adhere to the laws he has imparted throughout the course of the Israelite journey in the wilderness. Modya and David explore the sometimes stark binary between truth and falsehood that Moses depicts. They seek to derive lessons on the consequences of deception of self and other, and on cultivating a personal path of truth. We hope you enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.
