V’Zot HaBrachah/Sukkot/Simchat Torah: Summary
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
This week we read V’Zot Habracha and is the last parsha in the Torah. The parsha deals with the blessings that Moshe bestowed upon the Jews before he died. The blessing that he bestowed upon the tribe of Levi was that they would teach the children of Israel. Moshe blessed Binyamin that he would stay close to G-d. Moshe blessed Reuben that his tribe will not die out, and will be counted among the rest of the nation. The parsha also seems to say that Judah will rule because it talks about him and conquest. Moshe further insinuates that the children of Gad will be the judges.
