Daily Aliya for Nitzavim, Rishon (1st Aliya)

General Overview: In this week's Parsha, Nitzavim, Moshe gathers the Israelites on the day of his passing to enter them into a covenant with G‑d. He warns of the exile and desolation of the Land that will result when Israel abandons G‑d's laws, but assures them that they will eventually repent, and G‑d will then return His people to the Holy Land. This Aliya also talks about freedom of choice and the mitzvah of teshuvah (repentance).

Aliya Summary: On the final day of his earthly life, Moshe gathered all the Israelites -- men, women, and children -- to enter them into a covenant with G‑d.
