However, unlike back in Parashat Re'eh, here Moshe also adds that Am Yisrael should choose life! This raises 2 huge questions: A. Want kind of a choice is it, if Moshe says to choose one of the options?? Where exactly is the choice?? B. But more than that, who on earth would choose death?? What kind of a choice is this?? What exactly is going on here, what is this choice about?  What is Moshe telling Am Yisrael? And how is this connected to Rosh Hashana??

Wouldn't it make more sense to consider the day of receiving the Torah, or the day of leaving Egypt, as the day Am Yisrael became a nation?? What exactly happened TODAY?? What makes it THE defining moment that turns us into a nation?!

How is connected to building a new home and having a fence on the roof?

Being simple is often understood as having "simple" faith "don't ask, don't search" just accept things as they are.  But if that is what we are being commanded, how does that go together with everything else in Judaism??   Judaism is all about growing through learning, searching and asking. It's about knowing more, not knowing less!   How does that actually go together with being simple??   What exactly does being תמים actually mean?   Is it better to be ignorant or knowledgeable...??

And besides that, there's also the promise Hashem gave Avraham, Yitzchak & Yaakov that Am Yisrael we return to the Land...  So what's going on here?   Do we not deserve the Land??  What's our right for the Land of Yisrael??

Rather, he's angry that their request, might make the rest of Am Yisrael nervous about entering the Land of Yisrael - and we'll get a 2nd situation similar to the Meraglim...  Why doesn't Moshe care about them not wanting to enter the Land of Israel?   But on top of that, it's clear from the Midrashim, that they did do something wrong at the end of the day, even with the deal they did with Moshe - so if they have a deal - what's so wrong about this?!   What's actually going on here with the 2.5 Shvatim??
