FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – NITZAVYM:

“See, I have set before you today life and excellent, and death and evil, in that I am commanding you today to love YHWH your Elohim, to walk in His ways, and to guard His commands, and His laws, and His judgments. And you shall live and increase, and YHWH your Elohim shall bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away, and you do not obey, and shall be drawn away, and shall bow down to other mighty ones and serve them, I have declared to you today that you shall certainly perish, you shall not prolong your days in the land which you are passing over the Yarden to enter and possess.”
