Moshe’s first words in Devarim aren’t fiery accusations — they’re quiet, coded reminders. Out of love and respect, he rebukes without shaming, uniting the nation instead of dividing it. From Rashi to the Toldot Yaakov Yosef, we learn that true rebuke heals, builds trust, and binds us together. Sometimes, the gentlest words have the greatest power.
