S2 Ep 42 - Nitzavim-Vayelech: Do One Person's Actions Really Matter?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Parshat Nitzavim warns that in the future, there might be someone who goes astray after other gods. God will “separate” that person for punishment, and future generations will see that the land was destroyed for this sin, “like Sodom and Gomorrah.” But wait, that doesn’t make sense! If God punishes guilty individuals, how do we get to the entire land being destroyed?
Join Ari Levisohn and Tikva Hecht as they explore this cryptic warning and uncover a message about the power of individual responsibility.
