A PEAK AT THE PARSHA
ParshatVayeilech isoneof the shortest parshiyot intheTorah,butithasaveryimportantmessage. IttakesplaceattheendofMosheRabbeinu’slife.
He is 120 years old and knows that soon he will pass away. Moshe tells Bnei Yisrael that he will not be the one to lead them into Eretz Yisrael. Instead, Yehoshua will be their new leader
Moshe reminds the people that even though he is leaving them, Hashem will always be with them. They don't need to be afraid of the nations in the land. Hashem will help them win
ONE BIG IDEA
In Parshat Vayeilech,Moshe tells Yehoshua to be strong and brave: “Chazak ve’ematz!” because he will lead Bnei Yisrael in to Eretz Yisrael Yehoshua might have felt nervous, but Moshe reminds him that Hashem is always with him. Sometimes, we also feel nervous: like before a test, a new class, or trying something hard. But just like Yehoshua, we can remember that Hashem is by our side, helping us be strong and do our best. When we believe in Hashem andourselves,wecanfaceanychallenge withcourage!

their battles and protect them. Moshe tells Yehoshua to be strong andbrave:“Chazak Ve’ematz!”becausehewillleadthepeopleand Hashemwillhelphim.
Then, Moshe writes down the entire Sefer Torah and gives it to the kohanim and the levi’im. He commands them to read it out loud to all the people every seven years, during the special time called Hakhel. This happens in the Beit HaMikdash during the holiday of Sukkot, when all the men, women, and children come to hear the Torah. It helps remind everyonetoloveandfollowHashem.
Even though Moshe is very old, he continues teaching, guiding, and caring for Bnei Yisrael until the very end. He shows us that serving Hashem never stops, no matter how old weare.
Parshat Vayeilech teaches us that we should always trust in Hashem, be brave, and learn Torah. Even when leaders change, Hashem isalwayswithus!
