The Spirit of Wisdom

As I read through this Parasha

That the Truth of Torah may

Come forth. Amen

Vayelech is the fifty-second Torah Portion. In this portion, we can almost hear the sorrow in the prophetic voice of this great leader, as he come to the end of his leadership. He reminder the people “And I shall bring them to the land flowing with milk and honey, of which I swore to their fathers, and they shall eat and be satisfied and be fat, then they shall turn to other mighty ones, and they shall serve them, and scorn Me and break My covenant,  And it shall be, when many evils and distresses come upon them, that this song shall answer before them as a witness. For it is not to be forgotten in the mouths of their seed, for I know their thoughts which they are forming today, even before I bring them to the land of which I swore to give them.”

          In this portion called Vayelech we see that Moses himself prophecy little hope for Yisrael, much the same way the sages after the destruction of the Temple 70 ad they despaired at the spiritual future of mankind. But in the face of all this darkness, Rabbi Shimon BarYochai revealed the Zohar. He himself stood up against doubt and fear, reminding those who remined that their truth would not be forgotten.

As we experience the Sabbath of Vayelech, we see that one of its greatest lessons is to appreciate the gift of the Soul of Messiyah Yahushua and Moses. The Sabbath of Vayelech reminds us that when we connect to the Torah, we are not just reading it as the Constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom, but that is also a Legacy of Moses.

As we come to the end of another Torah Cycle where we strengthen our bond with the Messiyah and ABBA YAHVEH, then all our spiritual works will not be forgotten, nor will our prayer fall on deaf ears.
