Each one of us has a choice before us: life or death, good or evil, blessing or curse. Every year, every day...really every minute!! Always. Let's finish the year strong and listen to Moshe Rabbeinu's…

It's an incredible time, it's incredible Shabbat, an incredible opportunity to clarify, um, our lives, what we're all about, why we're in this world, why we love life.
Now, Rosh Hashanah, the new year, a week from tonight, is a holiday devoted to the two full days, and then really the 10 days of Teshuvah, the first 10 days of the year, are all about those reflections.
Remember, I had said the whole month of Elul, the month before Rosh Hashanah, is a month of getting close to God, thinking about getting close to God, thinking about the year to come.
The good news is there's one quarter, 25% left, and we start with this Shabbat.
Nitzavim Vayelech towards the very end of the Book of Devarim, Deuteronomy, and it's so inspiring and so uplifting, and the words should pierce our hearts and our souls.
And in our short time together, Rabbi E in three, I want to share with you just a few words from this Torah portion.
These words put it all into perspective, and when I say all, all, the meaning of our lives.
The words written down in the Book of Deuteronomy chapter 30 were spoken on the last day of the earthly life of Moshe Rabbeinu, of Moses.
And so, you know, the Torah is full of inspirational portions, but this is, uh, up there.
It's always read immediately before Rosh Hashanah because it says words that apply directly to leaving the old year and entering the portal of a new year.
