okay we come this week's para is paras is always the par we read right before rashim you stand all of you today before hashem your god and Desire teaches us the word hayim is always a reference to rashashana and therefore we read this para right before rashashana indicating that on rashash it's and amazingly in par we encounter a very unique mitzvah where the Torah says because this mitzvah that I command you today.
