 Joshua (Yehoshua in Hebrew) was Moses’ successor who led the Israelites into the Promised Land. The Tanakh describes Joshua as a devoted disciple, a holy man, and a brilliant military commander. Joshua led his people on all fronts, urging them to serve God and uphold the Torah, while at the same time leading them in military conquests. Born in Egypt in 2406 (1355 BCE), he led his people for 28 years until his death in 2516 (1245 BCE). His story is recorded in the Book of Joshua. 1. A Faithful Disciple Joshua, son of Nun, was from the tribe of Ephraim. His original name was Hoshea (Hosea) but was changed by Moses to Yehoshua (Joshua). He was Moses’ faithful attendant, about whom the Bible attests that he ‘never departed from Moses’ tent. He devoted his heart and soul to his master, and waited at the foot of Mount Sinai all the while Moses was at the summit communing with G-d. He forms a vital link in the chain of transition, for Moses taught Joshua the Torah, and he passed on the t...

 1. It was his 120th birthday Moses died on Adar 7, 2488 (1273 BCE), the exact same day he was born 120 years earlier. It is very rare for someone to die on their birthday! This shows that Moses completed his life’s mission perfectly, without missing a single day. 2. Moses Spent Five Weeks Delivering His Last Will and Testament On Shevat 1, Moses gathered the Jewish people and began delivering his final words to them. For the next five weeks, he urged them to follow God’s path and reviewed all the mitzvahs they had received at Mount Sinai. His parting words became the Book of Deuteronomy , the fifth and final book of the Torah. 3. Moses Wrote 13 Torah Scrolls Moses was very busy on the day he died! The Talmud tells us that he wrote 13 Torah scrolls that very day—one for each of the 12 tribes and one to be kept in the Ark of the Covenant. According to another tradition, Moses used practical Kabbalah to imbue his quill with miraculous powers. 4. Some say it was a Sabbath According to...

 The Torah, written by Moses, although it was written long before Purim, also includes the celebration of Chanukkah. Where can we find that? Leviticus 23, is a very famous chapter, because it lists all the holidays that the Israelites were to celebrate. In order, Hashem lists them: Pesach (Leviticus 23:5) Matzah Festival (Leviticus 23:6) Omer (Leviticus 23:15) Shavuot (Leviticus 23:16) Rosh Hashanah (Leviticus 23:24) Yom Kipur (Leviticus 23:27) Sukkot (Leviticus 23:24) In fact, the Purim event itself only took place thousands of years after the establishment of Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur, the high priest would cast lots for two goats, which one should be released into the wilderness. In the feast of Purim, Esther also involved lots, but at that time it was Haman who cast lots, with the intention of wiping out the entire nation of Israel. So by naming the Day of Atonement as Yom Hakipurim, Hashem is giving a message that later, there will be real Purim. The Rabbi explained that, duri...
