Choosing Life and Light: Parashat Nitzavim

In the Torah portion Nitzavim (Deuteronomy 29 onward), Moses delivers a powerful message to Israel as his life draws to a close: choose life over death, blessing over cursing.

This exhortation isn't just a historical moment—it's a lasting mandate for how we live today. Choosing life means actively engaging in tikkun olam (repairing the world) and striving to leave our world better than we found it. In this teaching, we explore how Israel’s call to be a light to the nations connects to the ultimate source of light, Yeshua, and what that means for our faith today.
