This week we read the double parsha Nitzavim-Vayelech.

Nitzavim speaks of unity, redemption, and the freedom to choose our path. In Vayelech, on the final day of his life, Moshe passes the leadership to Yehoshua and entrusts the Torah to the Levites. We also receive the mitzvah of Hakhel, bringing the entire Jewish people together to hear the Torah.

As Rosh Hashanah draws closer, this Motzei Shabbat we begin saying Selichot, joining Sephardic communities who have been reciting them throughout Elul - a time to reflect, return, and prepare for the year ahead.

Nitzavim-Vayelech reminds us that we each have a choice, but we move forward together: united by our Torah, our faith, and our shared future.

This week’s Weekly Share starts with gratitude. But it goes much deeper.

Ki Tavo reminds us to notice our blessings. Chai Elul brings a message of renewal. And a powerful lesson asks: what if tzedakah isn’t only about what we give, but how we see another person?

Plus: why our bond with Hashem is never yesterday’s story - and why the future is all about adding light.

A few minutes. Plenty to carry into Shabbat.

This week we read Parshat Ki Tavo.

As the Jewish people prepare to enter Israel, Moshe teaches them to bring their first fruits to Hashem in gratitude. The parsha also teaches the importance of giving to those in need and reminds the people of their special bond with Hashem.

Ki Tavo speaks of the blessings that come from following the Torah, as well as the consequences of turning away.

Ki Tavo reminds us that blessing begins with gratitude: appreciate what we have, share what we can, and remember where it all comes from.

In Parashat Ki Teitzei, we find 74 mitzvot touching nearly every part of life: kindness, responsibility, family, work, and justice.

Food for the Soul: In Elul, “the King is in the field.” Hashem comes closer, inviting us to come closer too.

Mind Over Matter: Amalek represents the coldness that weakens our passion for Judaism. Our answer is to keep that spark alive.

Moshiach Thoughts: When our thoughts are filled with Moshiach and Geulah, we begin living with redemption today.

Have I Got a Story: Rabbi Ze’ev forgot the meditations he had prepared for the shofar. The Baal Shem Tov taught him that while each meditation is a key, a sincere heart is the master key that opens every door.

This week we read Parshat Ki Teitzei, which contains 74 mitzvot.

The parsha touches on everyday responsibilities—from returning lost objects and protecting others, to paying workers on time, treating people with dignity, and caring for the deceased. It concludes with the mitzvah to remember what Amalek did after the Exodus.

Ki Teitzei reminds us that Torah is lived in the details: through responsibility, kindness, and the way we treat one another.
