What does it mean to write Torah for ourselves today?
In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Michael Hattin explore Parshat Vayelech . Join them as they discuss Moshe’s completion of the Torah, the mitzvah for every Jew to write a Sefer Torah, and the once-in-seven-years gathering of Hakhel as a reenactment of Sinai. The conversation explores how Torah is transmitted—through text, learning, and lived experience—and what it means to receive Torah anew in every generation.
