Portion Va Yay Lech: How did Moses Prepare for Shabbat?

Portion Va Yay Lech:  How did Moses Prepare for Shabbat? 
 
Just Look at this week's SHORT portion - packed with Moses' meetings - THE DAY BEFORE HE DEPARTS FOR HEAVEN!
 
You would think the Almighty would let him TAKE IT EASY, hug the kids, Hang with the Family?
 
But : G-d's Time waits for NO ONE
 
Let him Relax One Day? As they say in Hebrew " NO and NO - Low V Low" (meaning no way)!
 
Anfd this portion PROVES you should Believe that Moshe was a leader 24/7!
 
Just look at his schedule just before he goes up the mountain for the last time!
 
It says "And Moses went ..."
Moshe. Moses. Goes .... Where?  
 
Tell Joshua this and that (transfer the leadership)
 
Tell the people of The prophecy of End of Days 
(and not to be depressed without Moses and Aron and Miriam)
 
 Moshe you are about to leave the world - so instruct the priesthood ...
 
Order a gathering every 8 years in Jerusalem
 
Writer a Torah and KEEP IT NEXT TO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS" BOX
 
 
And what else?
 
He Wrote them a Song! ( See: Next week's parsha, when I hope to be back in the Holy Land)
 
The Torah is said to be a Guide to truth of G - d IN  life and in OUR  spirits
 
So - never say it's TOO HARD TO GET READY FOR SHABBAT
 
or YOM KIPPUR
 
or SUKKOT -
 
and SHARE THE WORKLOAD - DO IT TOGETHER WITH THE REST OF OUR TRIBE!!!!
 
Our tribe is also a GIFT to each and every one of us!
 
Shabbat Shuva
 
 
 
 
 
 
Shabbat Shalom
