In parashat Reeh, “See”, Mosheh set before the Israelites the choice between blessing and curse. They will be blessed when they fulfill G‑d’s commandments, and they will be cursed if they abandon the mitzvot. Mosheh instructed the Israelites in the laws that they were to observe, including the law of a single centralized place of worship, a Temple should be established in “the place that G‑d will choose to make dwell His name there”, where the people will bring their sacrifices to Him. It is forbidden to make offerings to G‑d in any other place.
