Parashas Nitzavim

Our Parsha this Shabbos just before Rosh HaShanah during the week when Creation took place,is Parashas Nitzavim . 
Moshe tells us that we are all 'Niztavim,' - 'Standing,' before HaShem today to again enter into the covenant with HaShem.Not just those there at the time when Moshe was speaking,but also at all times , for those who were not even born yet.These words are the case today in our time just as they were when Moshe was talking to the Children of Israel then.
At all times,wherever we are, day or night,we are always 'Nitzavim,' - 'Standing before HaShem .So our behavior must always be moral and upright and we must at all times act with holiness and righteousness.HaShem is always before us.Some think they can hide away and commit wrongs that no one will know of Chas Ve Shalom .This is not true for all of us at all times and in all places, stand before HaShem .HaShem Sees and Knows all.
We are all,in this World, approaching Rosh HaShanah where HaShem comes down closer to us all to judge the World.It is at this time,the anniversary of the Creation of Adam Ve Chava, that all of Creation -'Nitzavim, ' 'Stands' before HaShem for judgement .
It is at this time specifically that HaShem is closer to His Creation for it was at this time that He Created Creation and thus Has Special Emotions that evoke His Thoughts of Creation .It is at this time that HaShem Comes down to look closer on us and ordain what will be for all of Creation , considering , that it was at this time that Creation came into being and so, HaShem looks closer at all things to see how His Creation is behaving .
So we should also take a closer look at ourselves to ensure that we are, where HaShem would want us to be and if not, to remember Creation that took place during this week and so ,be who HaShem wants us to be .In fact we should at all times look at ourselves and be holy and pure.So , at this time, the World,The Creation, all things 'Nitzavim,' - 'Stands,' before HaShem hopefully never to disappoint Him Chas Ve Shalom .
The Hebrew word for 'Stand,' is 'Omeid or Amad,' so why does HaShem use 'Nitzavim here?' The Hebrew word 'Nitzavim,' also means 'Stand,' yet this is a more erect kind of 'Standing.' When are we able to stand erect? When we have not committed any Aveiras a- any sins or wrongs .When are we worthy to meet a part of HaShem's Shechinah Essence? When we are pure and Holy. Thus in this word 'Nitzavim,' HaShem is also hinting that we must be pure and Holy, moral and righteous.Our very deeds and our very behavior must be without fault.HaShem tells us to emulate Him .HaShem Is beyond perfect. We must 'Nitzavim,' - ' Stand up every day and be pure,holy and righteous.It is only before HaShem that we are to stand.The first verse in this Parsha tells us we are standing before HaShem 'today,' for it is every day that we can read this verse ,knowing that it is every day that we stand before HaShem .It is only before HaShem that we are to answer to . HaShem is One . 
Within the word 'Nitzavim,' is the word 'Tzavah,' which also means 'Assemble.' To assemble means to always be ready to serve HaShem whenever called upon to do so and it also means that all of HaShem's Creation, should come together , to serve HaShem as one .HaShem Gave us Creation.So all parts of Creation owe it to HaShem, to serve Him and Him Alone , faithfully. The worst Aveirah is Idol-worship and G-D Always must be acknowledged as the Creator at all times for He Is The Creator .
Also within the word 'Nitzavim,' is the word ,'Netz,' which means ' 'Hawk.' Thus when we stand up faithfully and serve HaShem , doing all His Commandments , HaShem , like a hawk, looks down from His Holy Abode and Praises and Blesses His Creation .
The word 'Nitzavim' in Gematriah comes to 192 .This is the same value as the word 'Kavetz,' which means ,'To gather, collect and assemble.' This teaches us that if we follow HaShem together ,doing all His Commandments and standing before HaShem yesterday,today,tomorrow and always with purity,holiness,righteousness and faithfulness,HaShem Will 'Gather and Collect and Assemble ' us and bring us up to Him.So Creation will return to Gan Eiden where HaShem Blesses us with the beauty of His Closeness.
If we stood before a human king would we not give him honor and respect.
So , as we stand before HaShem this Shabbos and Rosh HaShanah,when HaShem is so close in love to us all, let us remember before Whom we 'Nitzavim,' 'Stand,' before the King of Kings, HaShem , Hakadosh Baruch Hu - The Holy One Blessed Be He.
With all sweet love to HaShem , I wish HaShem with all sweet love ,a Blessed Shabbos Kodesh with love and Shanah Tovah a Sweet New Year and to all, a Blessed Shabbos Kodesh with love and Shanah Tovah Kesiva Ve Chasima Tovah -A Gut Gebenshte Yor of sweetness and Blessings , Good Shabbos and Good Yom Tov with love.
