Parashat Nitzavim-Vayelech
In this week’s message, we explore the themes of faith, redemption, and preparation for God’s kingdom. The central question, ‘What’s holding you back?’ is rooted in John 12:37-43, highlighting the barriers to faith such as fear and worldly desires. The message emphasizes that God allows us to experience the consequences of our choices, desiring we will turn back to Him. Through the story of Nehemiah and the significance of Yom Teruah, we are reminded of the importance of repentance and renewal. As we approach the high holy days, we are called to reflect on our lives, seek God’s help in overcoming barriers, and prepare our hearts for His return.
