In this podcast, we give an overview of all of Sefer Debarim, emphasizing the brilliant construction of Moses' valedictory address to the nation and its fundamental implications to the Torah as a whole. Next, we read through Parashat Debarim, demonstrating that Moshe is not simply delivering a historical recap, but a morale-boosting speech with a very important goal.
