Talking Parsha

This is how the Torah ends?? (Talking Parsha - VeZot Habracha)

The Torah's last verse, last message, surprisingly focuses on Moshe Rabeinu's greatness.

If Sukkot is the Festival of Happiness, why do we read on Megilat Kohelet, which seems to be a very depressing book?

Before Moshe dies, God tells him to see the land that he will not enter. Why in his last moments is he commanded to see what he's missing?

Rosh Hashanah, the day of judgment, is followed by the 10 days of Tshuva (repentance). Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Why does Hashem have to tell Moshe and tell us in this week's parsha that he knows we are going to fail miserably?

This week the Torah teaches us the key ingredient to living our lives and serving G-d, without it, everything else falls apart

Watch: This week Yitzi and Tuvia talk about the precept of Hashavat Aveida - returning lost objects

Our parsha has the Mitzvah of inaugurating a king. The king himself is required to write a Sefer Torah once he sits on his throne.

This week we learn about the mitzvah to give tzedakah & the classic example is giving a loan & taking a collateral in return. Why is that?

We know the Mann was a Heavenly food with heavenly taste but this week Moshe Rabeinu describes the Mann as torture and even starvation. Why?

In Parshat Va'etchanan we discuss Moshe's prayers, from which we learn many laws. But is this the model we want to learn from? Why?

Moshe gives a review of the Torah, but when he gets to the story of the Meraglim and the punishment, leaves out an important detail. Why?

Why does the Torah suddenly remember to teach us about vows? Why now, as Moshe prepares for death & the nation is preparing to enter Israel?

Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parshat Balak: What's the deal with the story of Bila'am's donkey, and what are we supposed to learn from Bila'am?
