Rav Shimon Klein | The Choosing of Jerusalem | The expression “the place which the Lord will choose” is repeated over and over again in Sefer Devarim. The words convey a riddle: there is a place, whose name is not mentioned – since it has not yet been chosen – but in the future, God will choose it. What is this choosing? What is the significance of the fact that the choice has not yet actually been made? What will it depend on? | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |

Rav Yair Kahn | The Chosen Place | In the Torah, there is no explicit mention of Yerushalayim as the location of the eternal location of the temple. Instead, the Torah refers to "the place that Hashem will choose". At the beginning of our parasha, the Torah prohibits bringing sacrifices on any altar other than the one located at the place that Hashem will choose. The end of the parasha discusses the three regalim; the festivals of Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot when Yisrael are obligated to appear at the Temple in the place that Hashem will choose. All told, the phrase 'the place which Hashem will choose' appears in parashat Re'eh sixteen different times. Therefore, if we were to isolate a single theme of parashat Re'eh, it would no doubt be "the place that Hashem will choose," which ultimately refers to Yerushalayim. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Yehuda Rock | The Prohibition of Erasing God’s Name | Chazal derive from our parasha the prohibition of erasing the written Name of God. Yet, a simple reading of the text points to a sizeable gap between the plain meaning of the verses and Chazal’s interpretation of them. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Yoel Bin-Nun | Where is “the place which God shall choose”? | Parashat Re'eh speaks repeatedly of the importance of worshiping in "the place which God shall choose," an idea usually associated with Jerusalem. As we shall see, this term is in fact far broader, allowing for different sites throughout the period of conquest and the Judges, until the beginning of the monarchy. In particular, we will examine the connection between courts of justice and sacrificial worship, in light of modern archeological evidence. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Prof. Yonatan Grossman | The Place That the Lord Shall Choose | In this shiur, we explore the structure of Devarim chapter 12, which emphasizes the concentration of the service of God in one location, as well as the permission to eat "meat of desire" and the prohibition to eat blood. What is the meaning of the numerous repetitions in this chapter? | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |

Rav Amnon Bazak | Parshat Re'eh - Atonement in Sefer Vayikra and in Sefer Devarim | What is at the heart of the differences in perspective on the sacrificial offerings between Sefer Vayikra and Sefer Devarim, and what can this teach us about two distinct types of sanctity that the Torah presents? | |
