What does it mean to carry on when one chapter ends? For Jewish grandparents, Simchat Torah offers a powerful lens on legacy, Jewish continuity, and what we pass from one generation to the next.

V’zot HaBeracha brings us to the final moments of Moshe’s life. Like Yaakov before him, Moshe blesses the next generation. Then the Torah ends, and we immediately begin again with Bereishit. At the same time, the story moves forward with Yehoshua.

We move backward and forward at once, carrying the past while stepping into a future we cannot see.

For grandparents, that raises an important question: What are we carrying forward, and what are we placing in the hands of our grandchildren?

And Simchat Torah carries the weight of October 7. How do we carry on without leaving memory and loss behind?

In this episode of Connecting Jewish Grandparents, Rabbanit Sharona Hassan explores Moshe’s final blessing, Jewish legacy, Simchat Torah, and what it means to carry our traditions forward while allowing the next generation to make them their own.
