Mood: Loving Torah
By Rabbi Aminadav Ben Avraham Hinton
Torah- Dvarim 31.1-30
HafTorah-Isa 55.6/Isa 58.6
Yoel 2.11-27
Ivrim or Ibrim-Hebrews 13.1-9
Vayelech- Yey-Ya-Lek is the hebrew word for: Then He Went Out.
This is the 52nd weekly Torah portion(Parashah) in the annual jewish cycle of Torah reading and the ninth in the sections of Dvarim. The Lunisolar Hebrew Calender contains up to 54 weekly parshat.
A.
Here in parashah vayelech on the last day of Moshe rabbeinus life, Moshe received prophetic news from Hashem, Moshe informes the jewish people of the mitzvahs of Hakhel- assembly.What's the sheer important direction of Hashem that he would destroy Israel's enemies himself, without any assistance of man, that he would go up against the emori/ amorites and destroy them, He instructs them that after seven years during the year of shmitah-Which deals with 7 cycles for land to return to original owners. The people were to be gathered together and have the Torah read before them, which Shmitah bares Sephardic and farmer reasonings- The text states behold. You will lie with your forefathers, but this people will rise up and stay after the gods of the foreigners(Gentiles) in whose midst it is coming, and they will forsake me and annul my covenant(Contract) that i have sealed it,
Moshe tells the people that because of his advanced age he can no longer lead the children of Israel, not only age was the factor but that scripture stated that Moshe said to them I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I am no longer able to go out and come in. And Hashem said to me, You do not pass over this Yarden -The scriptures state Moshe was still with strength when Hashem took him so then, what is the answer- Hashem YHWH said you're not going over to Yarden which is why he is not going any further, The mention of 120 years was to encourage the acceptance of Yoshua a new leader.
Prior sins also caused Hashem to make that decision, because blood was across his hands in prior years, He couldn't see yordan- Moshe tells them Yoshua- Joshua will be his successor. Yohoshua the aramaic term for Yeshua-(Interesting) To ensure that the Torah survives Moshe writes it all down, He wrote down with out any help from Hashem, the whole law of Torah- all five books or divisions and he entrust it to the cohanim and elders ordering them to read it to the people every seventh year- Tishri- so that all the people, young or old could learn it,That they would hear and learn it- Dvarim- 31:12- So here at HarSinai according to this parashah- psat- only the generation that left Mitsrayim= Egypt had the privilege to be there. Vayelech is the 9th reading out of 11 in Dvarim- Moshe, Aharon and Miriam of these three siblings- Hashem gave Yisrael- Manna, The Clouds of Glory, and the well of miriam which nourished and prepared them physically, enabling them to absorb Torah-
Conclusion:
I am certain Moshe wanted to see Yarden and all his 120 years had prepared him for such a task but then Hashem doesn't allow him in; It was reigns to raise new leadership who would not replace Moshe,but continue it's law and order and instruction
Torah a day keeps ignorance away
