Looking at the first day of Sukkot reading this, actually I have to recheck and see if first 28 is part of it because I think it starts at first 29, however it catches my attention at the bottom of the page the commentary says you are not allowed to sacrifice an animal and kid on the same day. So that we don't become accustomed to practicing cruelty. Nice.

5th reading of Parashat Bereshit:
וַיְגָ֖רֶשׁ אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֑ם וַיַּשְׁכֵּן֩ מִקֶּ֨דֶם לְגַן־עֵ֜דֶן אֶת־הַכְּרֻבִ֗ים וְאֵ֨ת לַ֤הַט הַחֶ֙רֶב֙ הַמִּתְהַפֶּ֔כֶת לִשְׁמֹ֕ר אֶת־דֶּ֖רֶךְ עֵ֥ץ הַֽחַיִּֽים׃
So after banishing the man, who lived east of the garden, The Chruvim and the The Ever-Turning Flaming Sword guard the way/road to the Tree of Life.
Interesting that the commentary asserts that The Sword must have been known

I'm dust

Back to the last Parashah of the year, Parashat Haazinu. After finishing the last of many warnings, Moshe Rabbeinu is summoned to his permanent rest, whether he wants to or not. The Rabbis say he passed on with a kiss from the creator.
