Today’s episode is a Shabbat Replay of our service on August 16th when Rabbi Steven delivered a drash on Deuteronomy. Moses is just not that into us, and he’s written us a whole book detailing how we messed up our chances with the most eligible prophet in the land. What lessons can we learn from this retelling of Israel’s relationship with Moses and God?

This sermon features a lot of audience participation, and we’ve done our best to retain what we can of Mishkanites’ responses while cutting out what the microphone couldn’t sufficiently pick up. The sound quality was, well, breaking up.
