The Double Parshiot this week is “N’tzavim-Vayelech,” ([You]stand and [Moses] went) from Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30. “N’tzavim” specifically calls every person to commit in a ritual covenant ceremony their acceptance of God’s commandments. “Vayelech,” the shortest chapter in the Torah, Moses prepares the Israelites for the transition of leadership to Joshua.
