Vayelech: Have fun falling

This week’s Torah portion is Vayelech: Have fun falling.

At the end of your life, what you want to say to the next generation?

Moses, in these last few chapters of the Torah, in the last few hours of his life, has three major messages for us.

1.You can do it…
2. And you will fail…
3. We can always come home.
