These perakim describe two formative events in the history of the Jewish People: the crossing of the Jordan and the entrance into the Land of Israel. In various ways, the language of the text and the events themselves echo the splitting of the Red Sea, the Exodus from Egypt, and the Revelation at Sinai. We will explore the broader context of the crossing of the Jordan, and its meaning for both the generation currently entering the Land and for future generations as well.
