VaYeilech - 5775

Deuteronomy 31:1-30

This week's Torah portion begins with the phrase VaYeilech Moshe ("Moses went forth"). Reading these words on Shabbat Shuvah, the Shabbat between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, can be interpreted as a challenge to us all: be like Moses, go forth with our teshuvah, go forth into the world! These Ten Days of Awe are not just for sitting in synagogue, they are a call to action. Every Shabbat Shuvah, VaYeilech asks us if we are listening to the call. and it reminds us that even a few days before Yom Kippur that there is still time for us to answer.
