Daily Aliya for Vayelech, Rishon (1st Aliya)

General Overview: This week's Parsha, Vayelech, recounts the events of the final day of Moshe's terrestrial life. Moshe transferred leadership to Joshua and wrote a Torah scroll which he handed over to the Levites. Moshe commanded the Israelites to gather following every Sabbatical year, and informed them of the suffering which will be their lot when they will abandon the laws of the Torah.

Aliya Summary: Moshe addressed the people, saying that he is 120 years of age on that day, and he is not permitted to cross the Jordan River together with them. Instead, Joshua will lead them, and G‑d will go before them and destroy their enemies.
