It has been said that our Parsha Vayeilech is the among the shortest and often the most overlooked Parsha in Torah. It rarely stands for leyning on its own.
Most often it is leyned with Parsha Nitzavim and so, when it is read on its own, the are machklosim as to where certain of the aliyot end.
But our Parsha comes to speak at length about the Mitzvah of Hakhel — the communal gathering which took place every seven years; that is at the beginning of the year following the end of the Sh’mittah year.
