Parshas Vayeilech (5773)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
Rashi explains that Hasem Himself relieved Moshe Rabeinu of his duties as leader of Klal Yisroel. The deep and awesome significance of this is that our leaders are chosen by Hashem as the original appointment of Moshe was in the desert at the incident of the burning bush. So it is to this very day the role of leadership has great ramifications to our whole avoda and the appointment of this position is made by Hashem through Hashgacha Pratis. It is an appropo subject this Shabbos, the first Shabbos of the year and before Yom Kippur, the foundation of Klal Yisroel.
We should cry to Hashem for His leadership; Klal Yisroel has only Hashem to depend on. Have a wonderful first Shabbos and a wonderful year.
