In this week's Torah portion, Nitzavim, the entire Israelite community
is gathered together. Moses speaks to young and old, rich and poor, men
and women, teaching them that we have the ability to make choices. As
the the High Holy Days approach, we are reminded of a Chasidic Story in
which a young man wanted to become a learned person. The Kotzker Rebbe
tells the man that what matters most is not becoming a Torah scholar,
but to do good and be good.
