אלה הדברים אשר דבר משה אל כל ישראל (דברים א:א)

These are the words that Moshe spoke to all of Klal Yisroel…

HaGoen HaTzaddik Reb Chaim of Freidberg zt’’l (brother of the Maharal of Prague zt’’l) paraphrased this pasuk with words of Mussar, based on all the parshas of Sefer Devarim.

אלה הדברים – These are the words I’m talking to you.

ואתחנן – And I beg you to accept and obey them.

עקב, ראה – Because you see that.

שופטים – Everything that a person does, he will be judged in the heavenly courts.

כי תצא – When the neshama leaves this World.

כי תבוא – And arrives at Olam Haba, thus, you should know.

אתם נצבים – You’re living on this World and you’re healthy, you should know that.

וילך – A person doesn’t know when he will leave this World, therefore.

האזינו – Listen well to my words of rebuke, and you will be worthy throughout.

וזאת הברכה – To be blessed on this World and in the coming World.
