FROM RABBI LEEAD
Drasha Due to its short length, it’s easy to miss how strange Parshat Netzavim is– partly because it’s over shortly after it started, and partly because no one’s looking to criticize a 40 Passuk Parshah. But upon further reflection, while Parshat Netzavim may be short, why is any of it necessary at all? The Parshah opens with Moshe committing the Jewish people to a covenant with God– something we literally just did in the last Parshah– and goes on to repeat some of the brief history of the Jewish people we’ve already reviewed, culminating in a series of abstract commandments about loving and following God that surely has been discussed at length already, at this point in the Torah. That being the case, once we already have the rest of Sefer Devarim until now, what exactly is Parshat Netzavim even coming to add?
Rashi, quoting the Rabbis in the Midrash, is also clearly perturbed by this question, as he too struggles to explain what Parshat Netzavim is adding after the lengthy reflections of Parshat Ki Tavo. Rashi (Devarim 29:12) says:
“Why is Parshat Netzavim put in juxtaposition to the curses in the previous chapter (Ki Tavo)? Because when Israel heard these ninety-eight curses besides the forty-nine that are contained in Torath-Cohanim (Leviticus 26:14 ff.), their faces turned pale (they were horrified), and they exclaimed, “Who can possibly stand against these?!” Therefore Moses began to calm them: “See, you are standing today before the Lord!” — many a time have you provoked the Omnipresent to anger and yet He has not made an end to you, but you still continue in His presence ...continued here.
