Vayelech - 2021

Chevre, this week’s parsha is וַיֵּלֶךְ (Vayelech) and it’s שבת שובה (Shabbat Shuvah). This week’s parsha is short, but it includes something really interesting, Hakel. Every 7 years, during Shemitah, which we just started, the king will get up and read certain sections from the Torah. Everyone was to gather around and hear the king read these sections. It’s a reminder that the Torah is accessible to everyone and that it’s everyone’s responsibility to learn and follow the Torah.
