Daily Aliya for Nitzavim-Vayelech, Shvii (7th Aliya)
Aliya Summary: Because, G-d explains, I am bringing the people to a
Land flowing with milk & honey, the People will eat in
contentment and turn from G-d. The Torah, however, will not be
completely forgotten from the lips (and hearts) of future generations.
Moshe wrote the Torah on that day (Rambam says that he wrote 13 Torahs -
one for each tribe and one in the care of the Kohanim/Leviim) and
taught it to the People. G-d "commanded" Yehoshua to be strong and
courageous in his new role as leader. Moshe completed the writing of the
Torah. (Some say that Moshe even wrote the final 8 p'sukim of the
Torah, which discuss his death.) Moshe commands the Leviim to take the
Torah and place it at the side of the Aron.
