Aliyah's van die week/Aliyah's of the week
Parashah Pinchas
Aliyah 1
Shavua Tov! As we begin this new week, we begin a new Sefer—Devarim. Mosheh is speaking, but the Ruach of יהוהis echoing through history. What can we learn today?”
📖 Parashah 44 – Devarim: 1st Aliyah (Devarim/Deuteronomy 1:1–11)
This Aliyah marks a new chapter in Yisra’el’s journey. Standing east of the Yarden, Mosheh delivers his final words to the new generation. He reflects on Yisra’el’s past failures, recounts יהוה’s faithfulness, and reminds them of יהוה’s multiplication and mercy—despite rebellion.
1. What does Moshe’s final speech teach us about confronting failure without crushing hope?”
💭Torah balance: Rebuke (תוכחה /tokhecha) is healthiest when coupled with vision- it prepares you! Mosheh lists missteps andreminds the people they are “as the stars”—evidence that יהוהmultiplies even imperfect vessels.
“Failure ≠ Finish Line!”
2. Why review the failures of the past generation?
💭 In Hebraic thought, memory is covenantal. Forgetting is not just amnesia—it’s a breach of a relationship. Devarim begins with history because יהוה’s people must remember His discipline and mercy.
3. How can remembering past mistakes guard us from repeating them?
💭Collective memory (זכור/ zachor) functions as a moral compass. Forgetfulness breeds cycles; remembrance equips repentance (תשובה/ teshuvah).
“History is a Mirror—look before you leap.”
4. What leadership trait shines through Moshe’s willingness to review painful moments?”
💭Vulnerable transparency. Effective leaders recount hard truths to prepare followers for future battles rather than to shame them.
“Leaders Bleed Before They Lead.”
5. What’s the prophetic meaning behind being “as numerous as the stars”?
💭 This is a restatement of the Abrahamic covenant. Even in the wilderness, יהוה is building a nation of destiny. We too, in Messiah, are being formed—not just to wander, but to inherit (Gal. 3:29).
Shavua Tov! Soos ons hierdie nuwe week begin, begin ons ook met ’n nuwe Sefer—Devarim. Mosheh praat, maar die Ruach van יהוה weerklink deur die geskiedenis. Wat kan ons vandag daaruit leer?
📖 Parashah 44 – Devarim: 1ste Aliyah (Devarim/Deuteronomium 1:1–11)
Hierdie aliyah merk ’n nuwe hoofstuk in Yisra’el se reis. Terwyl hulle oos van die Yarden staan, spreek Mosheh sy laaste woorde aan die nuwe geslag. Hy reflekteer op Yisra’el se vorige mislukkings, herroep יהוה se getrouheid, en herinner hulle aan יהוה se vermenigvuldiging en genade—ten spyte van hul opstand.
1. Hoekom begin Mosheh met ’n teregwysing?
💭 In die Torah is tokhecha(teregewysing) nooit veroordelend nie, maar vormend. – hy hou aan om die volk voor te berei op dit wat יהוה wil hê en op dit wat vir hulle wag. Mosheh se woorde herroep foute, maar eindig met hoop: “Julle is soos die sterre…” יהוה vermeerder onvolmaakte vate.
2. Waarom word die foute van die vorige geslag herroep?
💭 In Hebreeuse denke is herinnering ‘n verbondstaak. Om te vergeet is ’n verbreking van verhouding.Devarim begin met geskiedenis omdat יהוה se volk Sy tug en genade moet onthou.
3. Hoe help herinnering aan vorige foute ons om dit nie te herhaal nie?
💭 Zachor(onthou) is ’n morele kompas. Vergetelheid lei tot herhaling; herinnering lei tot teshuvah (terugkeer).
4. Watter leierskapseienskap skyn deur Mosheh se bereidheid om seer herinneringe te herroep?
💭 Deursigtige kwesbaarheid. Ware leiers bereid om harde waarhede aan te spreek om dissipels voor te berei—nie om hulle te beskaam nie. Soos die Engels sê: “Leaders Bleed Before They Lead.”
5. Wat is die profetiese betekenis agter ‘so talryk soos die sterre’?
💭 Dit is ’n herbevestiging van die verbond met Avraham. Selfs in die wildernis bou יהוה ’n nasie van bestemming. In die Messias is ons ook erfgename— (Gal. 3:29).

Aliyah 2
Yom Sheni – May your week be filled with wisdom and courage as we reflect on righteous leadership and bold faith in יהוה’s promises.
📖 Parashah 44 – Devarim: 2nd Aliyah (Devarim 1:12–21)
In this Aliyah, Mosheh recounts two key episodes:
- The appointment of judges to help carry the burden of leadership — a shared responsibility affirmed by the people.
- The approach to Kadesh Barnea, where Yisra’el stood on the threshold of the Promise, but fear would soon cause them to falter.
This section is rich with insight into leadership, trust, justice, and the consequences of collective doubt.
1. Why did Mosheh appoint judges instead of holding all authority?
💭 In Hebraic thought, leadership isn’t about control—it’s about accountability and bearing the burden with the people. Even Mosheh, the most trusted prophet, needed others. This reflects the future structure of the Messianic body (Ma’asei/Acts 6), where authority is shared under יהוה’s Ruach—not centralized in one man.
2. What are the core values of judicial integrity Mosheh taught?
💭 The Torah emphasizes impartiality, courage, and justice without favouritism (Dev. 1:17). This Aliyah shows that leadership flows from righteousness. These judges were to fear יהוה more than man—just like Yeshua did when He confronted corruption, not for popularity, but for truth.
3. Why does Mosheh mention the people's consent to appoint judges?
💭 Yisra’el agreedto the shared leadership model. In Torah communities, leadership must always be rooted in consensus and covenant, not coercion. Yeshua taught the same principle: “The greatest among you must be your servant” (Matt. 23:11).
4. Why was Kadesh Barnea so significant?
💭 It was the threshold of the Promise. They had arrived—yet fear and disbelief would soon turn them away. This moment warns us that proximity to a breakthrough means nothing without faith. How many today stand at the edge of their inheritance, paralyzed by fear?
5. How does this Aliyah echo the calling of Yeshua's followers?
💭 Yeshua entrusted His talmidim with judgment, guidance, and proclamation of the Kingdom.Just like Mosheh needed righteous judges, Yeshua called trustworthy disciples to carry the yoke with Him (Matt. 11:29-30). Are we living up to that trust?
Yom Sheni – Mag jou week gevul wees met wysheid en moed terwyl ons nadink oor regverdige leierskap en dapper geloof in יהוה se beloftes.
📖 Parashah 44 – Devariem: 2de Aliyah (Devarim 1:12–21)
In hierdie Aliyah herinner Mosheh die volk aan twee sleutelmomente:
- Die aanstelling van regters om saam met hom die las van leierskap te dra – ʼn besluit wat die volk self goedgekeur het.
- Die nadering tot Kadesh Barnea, waar Yisra’el op die drumpel van die Beloofde Land gestaan het – maar vrees sou binnekort hul oortuiging ondermyn.
Hierdie teks wys op die noodsaaklikheid van regverdigheid, gedeelde verantwoordelikheid, en geloof om in יהוה se beloftes in te stap.
1. Waarom stel Mosheh regters aan in plaas daarvan om self alle gesag te hou?
💭 In Hebreeuse denke gaan leierskap nie oor beheer nie, maar oor verantwoordelikheid en die las van die juk deel.. Selfs Mosheh, die grootste profeet, kon nie alles alleen dra nie. Dit voorspel die struktuur van die Messiaanse gemeenskap (Ma’asei/Hand. 6), waar gesag onder leiding van die Ruach gedeel word.
2. Wat is die kernwaardes van regverdige oordeel wat Mosheh leer?
💭 Die Torah beklemtoon onpartydigheid, moed en regverdigheid sonder vrees vir mense (Dev. 1:17). Leierskap vloei uit geregtigheid.Hierdie regters moes יהוה meer vrees as die volk – net soos Yeshua dit gedoen het toe Hy korrupsie aangespreek het, nie vir populariteit nie, maar vir waarheid.
3. Waarom noem Mosheh die volk se instemming met die aanstelling van regters?
💭 Yisra’el het ingestem tot gedeelde leierskap. In ʼn Torah-gemeenskap moet gesag gebou, geanker en gewortel wees op verbond en eenstemmigheid – nie op mag nie. Yeshua het dieselfde beginsel geleer: “Wie die grootste is onder julle, moet dienaar wees” (Matt. 23:2- 11). Lees laasgenoemde – kry nuwe insig
4. Waarom is Kadesh Barnea so belangrik?
💭 Dit was die grens/ die drumpel van die Beloofde Land. Hulle was dáár – nog een stap, en die erfdeel sou hulle s’n wees. Maar vrees en ongeloof het hulle laat terugdeins. Hoeveel van ons staan nie ook vandag op die rand van deurbrake nie, maar vrees hou ons vas?
NABYHEID AAN DEURBRAAK IS NIKS SONDER GELOOF NIE!
5. Hoe weerspieël hierdie Aliyah die roeping van Yeshua se volgelinge?
💭Yeshua het betroubare dissipels gekies om leiding te deel. Soos Mosheh het Hy nie alles self gedoen nie – maar ander bemagtig. “Die Vader in My doen die werke,” het Hy gesê. Nou doen Hy dit deur ons – as ons gewillig is om die juk saam te dra.
En as jy dit snap gaan jy weet WIE Yeshua is.
