Hello, this is David Alowski and welcome back to the para in five where in five minutes we give you an insight into the para. We missed midbar, we missed our whole safer but we're starting now inem we're back and uh I hope you missed us. That's all I'm going to say and uh we'll try to give you a little insights into the par of as we go in. So uh I was at a kdish for somebody who was leaving a kdish for somebody who was leaving a sudas pra on shabas devarim some years ago and someone asked me the following question is that is how the parisha starts where Mosherenu said he was about to die it was and he died on Zion. So for five weeks he reviewed the Tory and he gave to and that's why right at the beginning he gives illusions to all the different gives illusions to all the different topics that he's going to talk about and he goes down the list and he starts right at the beginning in Dvarum of course talking about the Moragim and how we lost and the consequences of that decision. And then he says the following at the end of the 40 years. Now it's time to go to don't bother Moab. I'm not going to give you the land. And this nation lived there who were very powerful.
