We are about to begin the holiest time of the year, the day of forgiveness, Yom Kippur.

A day we abstain from physical enjoyment to feel the immense holiness that is obvious during this time. A day that its loftiness alone atones for our sins against G-d.

We will forgo most material pleasures for nearly twenty-six hours for a spiritual awakening.

We spend most of our time in Shul praying to attain angel-like status in the hopes of complete forgiveness and vindication.

We find out why everyone tried to catch a glimpse of the Kohen Gadol.

We learn why we sing a song of triumph and victory after Neilah?

This week is a special Shabbos called Shabbos Shuvah - the Shabbos of Teshuva. Beginning with Rosh Hashanah, we enter the Aseres Ymey Teshuva - the 10 days of Teshuva which concludes with Yom Kippur.

Our Parsha begins on the last day of Moshe Rabbeinu’s life. He says to the Jewish people (31:2-3), “Today I am one hundred and twenty years old and can no longer continue, since G-d has said to me, you shall not cross the Jordan River.

Moshe calls Yeshua and gives him words of encouragement (31:7-8) “Be strong and courageous! For you will go with this nation to the land which G-d swore to our forefathers to give them; you will portion it to them as an inheritance.

We find out why Moshe does not say Yeshua will lead them.

We learn the ultimate form of leadership from Moshe Rabbeinu.

Our Parsha continues Moshe’s final address to the Jewish people. He begins by teaching the laws applicable once the Jewish nation settles down in Israel.

The first commandment is Bikurim, the Mitzvah of bringing the first fruits of each year’s harvest to the Mishkan or Beis Hamikdash.

This only applied to seven fruits and produce that Israel is known for wheat, barley, dates, figs, grapes, pomegranates, and olives.
