The last and final book of the Torah starts this week and is different from the rest in that it is told not just through Moshe, but by Moshe in his own words. The obvious question is: why repeat all the stories that were just told? There is a deep teaching in the way that Moshe re-tells our story that teaches us how to connect to our own stories of our lives and retell it with the perspective of purpose and hindsight. The lesson we emulate from Moshe is about embodying your own uniqueness to be a channel of bringing the Shechina into this world.
