Vayelech (And He Went) D’Varim (Deut.) 31

Torah Portion:  Vayelech (And He Went) D’Varim (Deuteronomy) 31

HafTorah: Hosea 14:1-10, Micah 7:18-20, Joel 2:15-27

Today I want us to look at this chapter and see what it teaches us about “doing.” This Sabbath is called, “Shabbat Shura.” Shuvah is the word for repentance.  Moshe speaks here on the last day of his life to a people he has led for the last 40 years. These are his parting words. We have seen him over the course of this last book of Torah recount the forty years of wandering.  Here he is telling the people to come together every seven years and hear the story again.
