Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath (Deut 29:13)
The Torah continues: but with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day. That is to say, even the one who had not been born yet is included in the covenant and oath.
If it had not specified the matter, we would tend to say that the Torah was given to that generation, and was fine then, but isn't pertinent at all to us, today. Like the clever words of the useless ones, "what used to be, forget it".
The Torah comes and emphasises that the matter is not so -- rather, it is an eternal commandment to all the peoples of the world, and especially to the offspring of the Holy people, the Children of Israel -- upon whom God placed most of the commandments. In every generation since then and until today, each Jew battles in his own manner to understand the Torah, and to lend its words relevance to his personal situation. And the more one examines it, the more one understands just how deep the Torah's paths run.
This shabbat which is just before the new year 5769, I wish everyone find the relevance of the eternal Torah to his personal situation, through ongoing learning and examination. Happy new year to everyone!
