Sivan Says: Taking the Torah Personally

Re'eh


Listen Later

This week’s parsha, Re’eh, opens with a challenge: See, I set before you today a blessing and a curse. Moses tells the Israelites that faith isn’t just about words; it’s about the power of choice. Every moment offers us the chance to step toward blessing, or away from it.

The timing is no accident. As we prepare to enter the month of Elul—the 40-day journey toward Yom Kippur—this call to “see” becomes even more urgent. These days are not just about repentance, but about vision: What do we want to change? Where do we want to begin again? Re’eh reminds us that choosing blessing often happens in small, decisive moments that ripple out for decades.

So how do we train ourselves to truly see and to begin today to walk in the direction of blessing?

Tune in to find out.
