An elegant, thought-provoking commentary on the weekly Torah portion featuring classical commentators and ending with a discussion question for the Shabbos table.
Summary
This essay on Parshas Devarim explores the shift in language from "Bnei Yisrael" (children of Israel) to "kol Yisrael" (all of Israel), explaining how Moshe's rebuke at the opening of Sefer Devarim addressed the nation not merely as a family sharing ancestry but as a unified people with collective responsibility. The piece ties this theme to the period before Tisha B'Av, emphasizing that true nationhood requires accepting responsibility for shared past, failures, and future.
