The Second Telling of our Lives (D’varim)
Deuteronomy is a summation of the previous four books. Coming from a Greek word meaning, *second telling,* Deuteronomy recounts the history of the Israelite people. When talking about our fifth book of the Torah, I always think of the comedic movie “Airplane,” where a character is told, “Tell me everything that’s happened up until now.” This is akin to Deuteronomy. Moses goes through a second telling of our history.
