[Avodah] Parshas Nitzavim: Rav Shamshon Rephael Hirsch - The People Are The Future

[Prof. Levine]

 From http://revach.net/article.php?id=940


"Atem Nitzavim Hayom Kulchem; You are all standing today." Rav 
Shamshon Refael Hirsh says that Nitzavim is from the word, Matzeiva, 
a monument, a pillar. In his last speech to Bnei Yisrael, Moshe tells 
them, "You are the foundation, the force, the future, and the eternal 
carriers of the flame of Torah and the banner of Hashem. I am merely 
a leader that will pass on and move into the annals of history. All 
the leaders that follow me will meet the same end.

The rise and fall of the Jews rests on your shoulders and the 
shoulders of your children in every generation. For Klal Yisrael to 
exist and to thrive, you, the ordinary people, must carry on as loyal 
flag bearers, since in you lies the strength of Am Yisrael."
