Start of Year 5783: Last Two Parshiot of the Torah, On Doing Better

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This week we’ll hear Parashat VaYelech, and then Ha’azinu, at the end of the Torah.

These last two parshiot of the Torah essentially are the founding leader handing over the mantle to his protege, while telling the people that they will certainly fail, but that they could Do Better. If only they wanted to.

Project Do Better is founded on the idea that by building empathy while educating around community mutual aid and public infrastructure, we can build a world that does indeed Do Better, starting right now.

We can really Do Better.
