Hakhel Year: (lit. "Assemble!") The year following the Sabbatical year, at the beginning of which all Jews would gather in the Temple to hear the king read selections from Deuteronomy.
Experiencing Hakhel Today
Today – as in Temple times – men, women, and children unite together at the same place, the same time, and with the same purpose of strengthening our commitment to Torah.

A primary element of Hakhel in the Holy Temple was hearing (and learning) Torah from the king. Today, this is expressed in Jewish education, both for young people and those who were unable to learn when they were young.
Experience has shown us that whenever Jews gather for a holy purpose, something good is bound to come out of it.
