The forty-seventh reading from the Torah and the fourth reading from the book of Deuteronomy is named Re’eh, an imperative form of the word “see.” It is the first word of the Torah portion: “See [re’eh], I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse” (Deuteronomy 11:26). This reading contains admonitions to topple the Canaanite religious centers, warnings against idolatry, and a prohibition on making sacrifices outside of God’s Holy Temple. The place of the Temple is enigmatically referred to as “the place which the LORD your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling” (Deuteronomy 12:5–7). The portion goes on to warn against false prophets, reiterate the biblical dietary laws, and introduce legislation regarding tithing, the sabbatical year of release, and the pilgrimage festivals.
