This week’s Torah portion is Nitzavim (Deuteronomy 29:9–30:20).

* The covenant is the foundation of Judaism. It’s a deal between the Jews and God. Covenant is the foundation of citizenship. It’s a recognition of mutual responsibilities between the citizen and the state. However, for the past 500 years, nobody takes oaths seriously like the Anglo-Saxon. Oaths of citizenship tend to be taken more seriously by Anglos than any other people. Overall in America, there seems to be a decreasing value of citizenship. People are less inclined to believe that they owe anything to the wider society.

* Deuteronomy 30: “11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.”
