Welcome to TLDR Torah: a synopsis of the weekly parsha based on Robert Alter’s translation, plus a question to spur your Shabbat dinner (or any!) conversation. Parsha Devarim (Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22) TLDR: If you missed the first 4 books of the Torah, you’re in luck. In the last book, Devarim, Moses summarizes the good, bad, and the ugly. A very careful reading will reveal that there’s some editorializing, but Devarim is generally a close account of what happened to the Israelites up to the point of entering Canaan.
