1. The Differences Between Devarim and Earlier Accounts

   Prof. Jonathan Grossman

   There are a number of differences between the stories in Devarim and the descriptions of the same events in earlier books. This article addresses two cases: Yitro's advice regarding the judicial system, and the Sin of the Spies. The different descriptions are an archetype for two types of distinctions: historical and tendentious.

2. The Opening Verses of Sefer Devarim, and the Structure of the Sefer as a Whole

   Dr. Mordechai Sabato

   The Torah introduces Sefer Devarim by informing the reader that we are about to read Moshe's words as addressed to the nation of Israel in the land of Mo'av, close to the end of The Fortieth Year. No such introduction exists for any other Sefer, and this is an indication of the uniqueness of Sefer Devarim. The great majority of Devarim consists of a record of the speeches that Moshe delivers at the end of the desert journeying. Sefer Devarim includes almost no narration of events that happened to the nation or direct Divine commands. In this sense it is different from the other four Books of the Torah. This shiur will attempt to address the significance of these introductory verses and their connection to the structure and content of Sefer Devarim.

8. Devarim: What Does It Mean To Have Faith?

   Rabbi David Fohrman |

   In this week's parsha, Moses accuses the nation of Israel of not having faith. What? The people know firsthand about all the miracles God has done for them, how could they not have faith? Drawing on the Maharal, Rabbi Fohrman gives us a novel approach to faith, and challenges us to rise to this level of intimacy with God and with each other.
