The ninth section of the Book of Deuteronomy continues the description of Moses’ third and final farewell address to the Jewish people. It begins with the account of how Moses went (Vayeilech, in Hebrew) and installed Joshua as his successor, and continues with the account of how Moses wrote down the Torah and commanded the people to assemble every seven years to hear it read in the holy Temple.

Daily Quote
Why was the First Temple destroyed? Because there was idolatry, promiscuity and murder. But the Second Temple, at which time they were occupied in Torah, mitzvot and charity, why was it destroyed? Because there was baseless hatred between them.
