Sefer Devarim: The Classical Commentators

Reading the text of the weekly parsha in Sefer Devarim only scratches the surface of the deep meaning of the Torah. From the outset Moshe Rabbeinu is saying goodbye to the people by telling them their own story, including reviewing many of their mistakes.

As we move towards finishing the Torah, join Rabbi James Kennard as he explores enigmatic words and phrases from the Chumash, through the eyes of the classical commentators.
