Nitzavim

from Rav Yaakov bar Nahman
Nitzavim-Vayeilekh

29: 9 “You are standing this day all of you before HaShem your G.d: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel, 10 your little ones, your wives, and your stranger that is in the midst of your camp, from the hewer of your wood unto the drawer of your water; 11 that you should enter into the covenant of HaShem your G.d--and into His oath--which HaShem your G.d makes with you this day; 12 that He may establish you this day unto Himself for a people, and that He may be unto you a G.d, as He spoke to you, and as He swore unto your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitzack, and to Yaakov. 13 Not only with you do I make this covenant and this oath; 14 but with them who stand here with us this day before HaShem our G.d, and also with they who are not here with us this day“

HaShem is telling us very plainly that ALL the commandments given were for ALL generations, for ALL communities and “brands” of Judaism, and included converts as well.
HE also puts before us the plain truth of “free choice” and recognition of the laws of cause and effect. Knock your head against a brick wall and booby it’s gonna hurt. Not only is it gonna hurt, but as long as you keep banging your head against that brick wall no aspirin in the wall is going to help you, plus eventually you will cause yourself permanent serious damage. Sin and you close a pipeline of Divine sustenance to you, be it on an individual level of a group level; cause and effect, measure for measure. It’s that simple.
Deny the ONE who made the world and declared the 7th day as a day of non-production/non-alteration of existence and deny the rules of that day, then expect that creation will go against you. Deny the rules of family purity and or deny the need to teach and bring up your children the Torah way, then don’t expect much joy from your descendants. Those are just two examples. You folks are smart enough to think and realize more.
It is significant that every year these two parshioth come right next to Rosh Hashanah; either together before, or one before and one after.
Here we are folks less than one week before The Big Day of Judgment of the Year, Rosh Hashanah the 48 hour day. Everybody ready? Are you sure? Do you know that every little thing you did or thought is registered “up there”? Yes the entire year is on record and will be examined in detail.
