Parshas Vayelech (5776)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
IN our parsha we have something awesome that perhaps is not given the importance it should. 31:7 Rashi brings that Moshe instructs Yehoshua to take counsel from the wise elders, HKB”H Himself interjects, asserts and instructs Yehoshua to take hold of his leadership in absolute, unyielding strength. We can explain this that Moshe had a special oneness with Hashem which made him the great leader he was, thinking it was unique only for himself. Only Hashem knew that He would bestow this on Yehoshua.
Our avoda these days is to continue the essence of Rosh HaShanah, the acceptance of Hashem as the Melech Olam, as our Melech.
Have a wonderful, inspiring first Shabbos and a gmar chasima tova.
