The Torah teaches the laws and priorities which determine the order of an inheritance. Hashem tells Moshe to ascend a mountain and view the Land that the Jewish People will soon enter, although Moshe himself will not enter. Moshe asks Hashem to designate the subsequent leader of the people, and Hashem selects Yehoshua bin Nun. Moshe ordains Yehoshua as his successor in the presence of the entire nation. The Parsha concludes with special teachings of the service in the Beis Hamikdash.
Nothing is as whole as a broken heart.
Thus wrote the Kotzke Rebbe. Nothing is as complete in its devotion to the Creator as a contrite spirit. When we see ourselves as perfected, as completed, then we are a million miles from Hashem because we have made ourselves the center of our own illusory, perfect universe. When our hearts are broken and our spirits humbled, it is then that we are able to come close to our Father in Heaven. The letter vav is like a person.
