To dedicate this lesson

495

In Parshat Vayelech, Moshe walks through the camp on the last day of his life to bid his People farewell. He teaches them the Mitzva of Hakhel, gathering once each 7 years to hear the King read sections of the Torah. Yehoshua is told to copy over the Torah & take over the leadership of the nation. Moshe again exhorts the people to stay faithful to the Torah.
This Parasha is the Shortest in the Torah and many times is read with Nitzavim.

Sukkot - Commemorating What?

In the midrash we find three explanations for this mitzva.

Sukkot, Emunah & Cherophobia: Solving the Fears of Happiness

Sukkot is the climax of agricultural success, but also brings with it the anxiety & nervousness regarding the upcoming season. The Sukkah represents the clouds which precede the rainy season, & are the time when God judges us regarding rain. Cherophobia is a common problem where happiness & accomplishment are accompanied by fear: After I've achieved my goals, there's a feeling of emptiness- What do I do now?!". Also, we ask like Kohelet, "Why am I still not happy?!". There's also the fear that I may lose or someone will take away what I've achieved. Also the fear "what if people reveal that I'm really not so talented?". Sukkot are termed in kabbala: "The Shade of Emuna", that only God has absolute success, & only He can provide security regarding past & future.

Sukkot stories

"Rabbi Alnekaveh told a story he heard once from an etrog-seller who used to bring Rav Eliyahu etrogim to check: "It is well-known that Rab Eliyahu could look at an etrog for mere seconds and immediately discern its advantages and defects..."

Parashat “Shema” and Parashat “Vehaya Im Shamoa”

Parashiot Shema Israel and Vehaya im shamoa contain the indispensable principles of the special nature of living in the Land of Israel. Therefore, Moshe teaches the people of Israel these Parashiot at the threshold of The Promised Land.

What do you do when your people have just made a Golden Calf? How do you restore moral order? The answer lies in the first word of today’s parsha: Vayakhel.
