The Haftarah portion for Simhat Torah (Josh. 1:1-18) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
As we conclude the reading of the Torah with the death of Moses, we read as the haftarah the beginning of the book of Joshua, in which Joshua steps in as Moses’s successor. Today Moses is succeeded not by one individual, but by all of us.
• How are you personally bearing the mantle of Moses’s leadership?
• What is the Torah that you, and only you, can teach?
