Q2: Looking through the verses, what tones could you imagine them being read in? How would that change the meaning? #ParshaChat

A1 One way to be caring as a teacher is to be encouraging. This passage is saying you can do it, you can follow these instructions. #ParshaChat

Both good things. #ParshaChat

A1: I imagine Moses being bone-tired saying this. #ParshaChat

This is one of my favorite passages, so I'm intrigued to see what others in #ParshaChat think!

A1 I love these particular verses, and yet I wonder what it does to their meaning to pull them out of context? #ParshaChat

Q1: Today, we'll look at Deuteronomy 30:11-4. Looking through the verses, what are your impressions? Does anything surprise you, raise questions, or stand out as particularly important? Does any of this seem to have something to do with caring about people? #ParshaChat

A0 Hi all and Shabbat shalom! Fall is in the air here, so it does seem time for Rosh Hashanah in a week. #ParshaChat

A0: Shabbat shalom #ParshaChat! I’m Rabbi Ruti Regan, here to moderate and looking forward to the conversation.

Q0: Introduce yourself! Anything about you, your week, or your interest in #ParshaChat that you'd like to share.

Also: Rosh Hashanah starts next Friday, which also happens to be September 11th. How is everyone doing?

Our current theme for #ParshaChat text study is reading the text with the assumption that we are supposed to care about people.
