Parasha Summary
Parashat Va'etchanan continues Moshe's farewell address to Bnei Yisrael, reiterating the covenant at Sinai and pleading to enter Eretz Yisrael, though Hashem denies his request. Moshe emphasizes the importance of Torah observance, warning against idolatry and commanding the people to teach Torah diligently to their children. The parasha includes the repetition of the Aseret HaDibrot (Ten Commandments) and the foundational Shema Yisrael, affirming Hashem's oneness and the mitzvah of loving Him with all one's heart, soul, and resources. Moshe also instructs about the future exile and eventual return, underscoring Torah as the eternal guide for Jewish life in all circumstances.
