This week, Modya and David look at the weekly Torah portion through a new lens -- that of Truth. They explore whether there is absolute truth, and when and if to be truthful in thought, speech, and action. They explore how Moses changes some of the narrative of the past 40 years, and what that means for both the speaker (Moses) and the listener (ourselves).
