Episode Details

Today’s shiur, inspired by Rabbi Yissocher Frand, dives into Moshe Rabbeinu’s final charge in Parashat Nitsavim: “וּבָחַרְתָּ בַּחַיִּים” — “And you shall choose life.” What does it mean that HaShem not only gives us the choice but tells us which path to take? And how is that lifnim mishurat ha-din — above and beyond the letter of the law? As we approach Rosh HaShanah, we’ll uncover the Torah’s most encouraging secret: that a single, sincere choice can reshape our entire judgment, counted in Heaven as if it were already done.
