What is this Torah portion about?
In the parashah, Nitzavim, Moshe (Moses) told the Israelites that all the people stood before Elohim to enter into the covenant, violation of which would bring on curses.
If they returned to Yehovah and heeded Yehovah’s commandments/Mitzvah, then God would take them back in love and bring them together again from the ends of the world.
Moses taught that this Instruction was not beyond their reach, and he put before them life and death, blessing and curse, and exhorted them to choose life by loving God and heeding the commandments. (<<— edited from wikipedia)
