The Book of “Devarim,” Deuteronomy 2:31-3:22, is considered a review of the journey from Mt. Sinai until Moses’ final address to the Israelite people. They are reminded of the consequences of the betrayal of the spies, resulting in the extended 38 years of wandering in the wilderness. In the final verses, Moses explains to Joshua that the victories they have won are evidence of God’s allegiance to Israel and the imminent conquest of Canaan.
All Beit HaLev services use special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available for sale at in-person services.
