The Portion
Vayelech: Standing at the Tent
Show Notes

This week is an off-week, as Aaron hosts the show alone. Rabbi Bienenfeld is taking a break following the passing of his father, Jeffrey Bienenfeld. Aaron talks about the image of Moshe and Joshua standing at the tent of meeting and whether they are both hearing the same message from G-d, or whether they're hearing different things. He also talks about the double meaning of the word "shira," which, in tradition refers to the actual poem that Moshe teaches the people in next week's Torah portion, as well as to the whole of Torah itself.
