Moshe Rabbeinu chastised the people for fleeing Har Sinai like a child
escapes school. Har Sinai is called Chorev ( ) , indicating the future
churban ( ) which was an outgrowth of how they departed from Har
Sinai ( ).
Parashat Devarim is read close to Tishah b’Av, for there is a direct
connection between the two. The Sages asked Hashem why the Land was
destroyed, and He replied, “Because they forsook My Torah.” Bnei
Yisrael failed to make a blessing prior to Torah study. This indicated that
the Torah was not their top priority. The churban began when the nation
fled Har Sinai.
Why did Moshe rebuke Bnei Yisrael for their fathers’ sins? They had to
arouse themselves to shake off the effects of these sins, so that they, the
next generation, should not fall in them also.
Everyone is required to build his personal edifice and confer a pure Jewish
education upon his children. By erecting a strong spiritual structure, one
adds fortification to the Beit Hamikdash.
