1. Israel's Return and God's Return (Audio)

   Prof. Jonathan Grossman | 12 minutes

   Why is parashat Nitzavim juxtaposed to a lengthy section of curses? Our parasha is a direct continuation of last parsha’s covenant, albeit providing another aspect. A novel element—teshuva—is presented here, even though it apparently deviates from the legal norms of a total and eternal commitment expressed in the forging of a covenant.

2. Redemption: Return, Rebuilding and a New Covenant

   Rabbi David Sabato

3. Yeshayahu 40-41 - Matan Al HaPerek

   Rabbi David Sabato

   The prophecy in Chapter 40 opens with a call of consolation for Jerusalem, followed by a call for the clearing of a path to prepare for God's return to Jerusalem, and then God's arrival to Jerusalem is heralded. In the second part of the Chapter (12-31), the prophet presents an argument against idolaters, and contrasts the unique nature of God-with God as Omnipotent Creator and Ruler of the World against the futility and nothingness of idols.

   Chapter 41 continues the polemic against idols and idol-worshippers from the previous chapter and calls for idolaters to be brought to justice. The chapter continues with a description of the desert blooming during the time of Redemption.
