Parasha Summary
Parashat Vayelech describes Moshe's final day of leadership as he prepares Bnei Yisrael for his impending death and their entry into Eretz Yisrael under Yehoshua's guidance. Moshe assures the people that Hashem will accompany them and defeat their enemies. He commands Hakhel, the septennial public Torah reading during Sukkot, to ensure national spiritual continuity. Hashem forewarns that Bnei Yisrael will eventually stray, bringing divine concealment (hester panim), but teshuvah will always remain possible. Moshe writes a Torah scroll to serve as an eternal witness. The parashah emphasizes Torah study, leadership transition, and the enduring covenant between Hashem and Klal Yisrael.
