Shabbat Shuvah: Parashat Haazinu, September 27, 2014 Lisa D SHABBAT SHUVAH: PARASHAT HAAZINU, SEPTEMBER 27, 2014 LISA D. GRANT Imagine… The first third of your life, you lived in the lap of luxury, wanting for nothing. And yet…there was a hole, an emptiness that you didn’t quite know how to fill. One day, your eyes open to the injustice that has surrounded you all this time and you take action. Thus ends your youth and begins your exile from this princely existence. You enter the next chapter of your life – a time of quiet, of Building a family, of contemplation. And then again, one day everything changes. This time, you lift up you eyes and see your calling, reluctant as you may Be. You take up the charge and this leads to greatness – miracles and wonders and total transformation of the world. The journey along the way is filled with challenges – danger, Boredom, rumbling and unrest. You lead as best you can – walking a tightrope Between advocating for your community and admonishing them for their selfishness and shortsightedness. You are overworked – this Business of community-Building is no small task. You lose your temper one time too many. Your loved ones die. You are alone and your life draws to a close. Parashat Haazinu marks the end of the final third of Moses’ amazing life. Curiously, though Moses is the central character in most of Torah, the Book is not really his story. The grand narrative of Torah is aBout the formation of Am Yisrael – the Jewish People – and our complicated, But ultimately loving relationship with our God. Moses is God’s spokesperson, God’s messenger, God’s sparring partner and ultimately God’s defender. We know very little of Moses’ family life, But can imagine that he wasn’t home very much. He was swept up in an almost overwhelming mission to Bring us God’s instruction and teach us how to “choose life” – to build a just society, to create a sacred calendar, to mark our days with ritual and service. Here, in this parasha, is Moses’ penultimate song. The final parasha of the Torah (which is not part of the weekly Torah cycle) are his final words – words of intimate Blessing, assurance and praise for each and every member of the Am/the People. Perhaps the entire Am is his family. Moses is about to die. He knows it and the people know it. Ha’azinu is his last attempt to deliver God’s teaching to us. This parasha, like the Book of Deuteronomy as a whole, is filled with stark contrasts – images of a wrathful and deeply disappointed God and a God of compassion, steadfastness and hope. Hold onto God’s teaching Moses pleas with dramatic imagery and poetic power. The parsha is aligned with the season – the time of year when we are given the opportunity to call ourselves to task, to take stock, to consider our lives, to contemplate our deaths. Torah gives a choice – “choose life” By embracing this teaching, By struggling with it to find the way to live with justice and compassion, to Be true, to Be loving – to care for each other and to build a world of goodness and plenty. It’s a simple recipe, But oh so difficult to enact. Imagine – Few of us have the vigor and presence to Be aBle to make such a deathBed speech. But, what if we could? What would Be our last words to our loved ones, our community? What teaching would we wish to impart?

GRANT Contemplating the words of Haazinu Brings to my mind not just issues of leadership and “large justice” but also issues of “small justice” – how we connect and interact with our loved ones. Here, a very different set of song lyrics come to mind –Nanci Griffith’s “From Clare to Here” – a song of lost opportunities, Broken dreams, distance and unresolved relationships. “It’s a long long way, it get’s further By the day, it’s a long long way from Clare to here.” It’s so easy to let relationships slip. We make mistakes, we misspeak, we keep silent, we hurt the ones we love the most By ignoring them, But not leaving enough room for them to grow, By guilt and shame, By too much ego and not enough compassion, respect and care. How do we keep the distance from getting further By the day? The work of repair and healing is ongoing. Like Moses, we need to keep lift up our eyes to be open to the moments of potential, for action and change. Waiting until the end is not a good strategy. A deathbed speech can’t repair the world. But, mayBe it can mend a Broken heart, or at least bring a bit of peace to a relationship gone awry. I think that’s what Moses is trying to do in Haazinu on a grand scale. And mayBe the message to us is to do the same on a more personal level. Moses tells us to: “Remember the days of old, consider the years of ages past; Ask your parent, who will inform you, Your elders who will tell you… For Adonai’s portion is this people, JacoB, God’s own allotment.” Ask your parent (imperfect as they may Be), whether living or dead, seek your elders. What is the wisdom of their lives that has shaped you, guided you? How can they serve as models and inspiration for the values you hold, the commitments you make to your own loved ones, to the Jewish people, to the world? And as you (we) Become the elders, what is the “Torah” we hope to impart? How can we live that Torah every day – in our words and our deeds? Don’t wait for the end to share this message - be a living Torah as best we can. We know we will err and hurt and leave things unfinished. But, we have the chance to do teshuvah – to turn our hearts back, to seek healing and bring each other closer. That’s the message of the parsha, of this season, and I hope of our lives.

  • Parashat Haazinu Taught By: Ilan & Eden
    OCTOBER 11, 2019 Parashat Haazinu Deuteronomy 31:1-30 Taught By: Ilan & Eden SUMMARY Ha’azinu is the second-to-last Torah portion and almost the whole thing is a song or poem that Moshe recites to the Israelites. The poem reminds us of God’s justice and patience even when Israel does things that are wrong. The words of the poem are written in the Torah scroll two columns. Moshe also tells the Israelites to remember their history and their connections--through their families--with God. After Moshe recites the poem God tells Moshe to go up on top of Mount Nebo so Moshe can see the land of Israel--even though God will not let him enter it. 1) Moshe begins some of his last words of inspiration and guidance--in the form of a poem--by הַאֲזִ֥ינוּ הַשָּׁמַ ֖יִם וַאֲדַבֵּ ֑רָ ה וְתִשְׁמַ ֥ע הָאָ ֖רֶ ץ אִמְרֵי־פִ ֽי׃ :saying Give ear, heavens, and I will speak; Listen, land, to the sayings of my mouth. Why might Moshe begin this way? Why ask the heavens and earth to hear instead of saying, Shema Yisrael, or something like that? EDEN: It makes sense to me that he wants to make sure he has everyone’s ILAN: Maybe saying listen up heaven and earth is attention before he starts talking. In class, when I have an important question a poetic way of saying that he wants EVERYONE, for my teacher, I want to make sure that she is listening before I ask. heaven to earth, top to bottom, to listen.

  • Reading Parashat Haazinu Every Day by Rabbi David Silverberg in The
    Reading Parashat Haazinu Every Day By Rabbi David Silverberg In the Hilkhot Tefila section of his Mishneh Torah (7:13), Maimonides records different customs that existed concerning the structure of the daily morning prayer service. One custom, he writes, was to recite the shirat ha-yam – the song of praise sung by Benei Yisrael after the splitting of the Sea of Reeds (Shemot 15) – after Yishtabach, the blessing that follows Pesukei De-zimra, the daily recitation of Psalms. Nowadays, of course, virtually all observant Jews have embraced a modified version of this custom, and recite shirat ha-yam before Yishtabach, at the end of the Pesukei De-zimra section. Maimonides then records a second custom, to recite at this point shirat haazinu – the poem dictated to Moshe by God as recorded in Parashat Haazinu. This poem foresees the time when Benei Yisrael will forsake the Almighty and violate their covenant with Him, in response to which He will send them into exile, and rescue them only to defend His honor which is desecrated by His nation’s persecution. It appears that some communities in Maimonides’ time had the practice of reciting this poem each day, after Yishtabach. Maimonides adds that others recited both shirat ha-yam and shirat haazinu at this point in the prayer service. The only other Medieval source for such a custom – of reciting the poem of Haazinu each day – is the work Orchot Chayim by Rabbi Aharon of Lunel. The Orchot Chayim makes mention of this practice in the context of the seder ma’amadot, a service that was instituted to commemorate the ma’amadot, the rotation of Jews which, during the times of the Temple, would conduct special prayers and Torah readings to accompany the sacrificial offerings in the Beit Ha-mikdash.

  • Parshas Re'eh
    LIVING WITH THE PARSHAH 5780, PARSHAS HAAZINU By HARAV YAAKOV FEITMAN, KEHILLAS BAIS YEHUDAH TZVI There are a number of sources for the fact that our Parshah encompasses the entire Torah and all of history. Several major meforshim (Rabbeinu Saadya Gaon and Gra in Aderes Eliyahu) note that there are 613 words in the Sedra. Furthermore, the Baal Haturim characteristically points out that the second and third words of the Sedra (hashomayim va’adabeirah) also add up to 613. In fact, an entire sefer (Shirah Lechaim by Rav Chaim Perlmuter) demonstrates how each of the mitzvos is embedded in the 613 words of the Parshah. Why is this Sedra, more than all others considered the repository of the entire Torah? We might understand the answer in light of the Chidah’s (Kisei Rachamim to Maseches Sofrim 12:8) that when Klal Yisrael heard the song of Haazinu for the first time they did teshuvah m’ahavah (repented out of love for Hashem, not fear). He states that for this reason Haazinu is sung as a shirah and is repeated by Klal Yisrael many times. At first the Chidah’s statement seems very surprising since Haazinu includes some of the most fearsome warnings in the Torah. However, Haazinu also includes the ultimately soothing words (32:4) that whatever Hashem does is just and with our very best interests at heart. That may be why we look to Haazinu for solace and consolation whenever we are suffering. However, another approach may be that our Sedra includes the mandate to view history totally as the Hand of Hashem, as interpreted by our Elders: “Remember the days of old, understand the years of generation after generation.

  • Devarim – Devarim/Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22 V'etchanan – Devarim
    Devarim – Devarim/Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22 The Text – Key verses in this parasha 2:1 We marched back into the wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds, as the Lord had spoken to me, and skirted the hill country of Seir a long time. 2:2-6 Then the Lord said to me: You have been skirting this hill country long enough; now turn north. And charge the people as follows: You will be passing through the territory of your kinsmen, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. Though they will be afraid of you, be very careful not to provoke them. For I will not give you of their land so much as a foot can tread on; I have given the hill country of Seir as a possession to Esau. What food you eat you shall obtain from them for money; even the water you drink you shall procure from them for money. The Context – The verses in plain English In Devarim, Moses speaks to the Israelites, reminding them of the events that took place and the laws they received during the course of their 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. As part of his recitation, he recalls God’s instruction to the Israelites that they compensate those people whose lands they travel through for any resources they use during the journey. For Discussion – What it means for advocates 1) This divine injunction reflects the importance of using resources judiciously, and of respecting the rights of those whose resources we use.

  • Parashat Ha'azinu Is the 53Rd Weekly Torah Portion in Our Annual Cycle
    Parashat Ha'Azinu is the 53rd weekly Torah portion in our annual cycle. It’s always read on the Shabbat between Rosh Hasahana and Sukkot. Named for the very first word in the parsha, Ha”Azinu, literally means “lend an ear” or “listen” when speaking to more than one person. Nearly the entire reading today consists of a 70-line song delivered by Moses to the Israelites on the last day of his earthly life. (I know we have been saying good-bye to Moses for awhile now…but this is really it.) In the Torah, the words of this parsha are structured in a distinctive two- column format which reflects the poetic nature of this text, known as Shirat Haazinu or the Song of Moses. Within his parting words, Moses words will deliver three things: an indictment of the Israelites' sins over the past 40 years, a prophecy of their punishment, and finally, a promise of God's ultimate redemption. As an interesting aside, the Rabbis of old counted 10 songs in all of Torah. Few, and special, they are kind of an ancient Hebrew “top 10 list”. One is the song the Israelites were instructed to recite at the first Passover in Egypt, a hymn of Thanksgiving. The second is the Song of the Sea sung by our ancestors after safely passing through the Sea of Reeds and realizing in jubilation they were finally free. Another of the songs was sung by the Israelites at the well in the wilderness. These are songs of survival. The fourth is the Song of Moses, today’s parsha, literally a swan song.

  • Death of Moses
    Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi B”H D’var Torah on V’zot ha-berachah The (reluctant) death of Moses In the last Torah portion of the year, V’zot ha-berachah, traditionally read on Simchat Torah, we hear about the death of Moses: So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab… And [God] buried him in a valley…; but no man knows his grave till this day. And Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor had his natural force abated… And there has not arisen since in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. [Deut. 34:5-7, 10] The Midrash on Deuteronomy gives a detailed account of the death of Moses. It reads like a thriller, which is unusual for ancient commentary. It tells about how Moses absolutely, positively does not want to die, and uses every argument he can think of to get a reprieve. He fights off the Angel of Death, even beats him up. He recites all his merits one by one. He asks to at least be allowed in the Promised Land, saying: Just as I witnessed Israel’s troubles, I want to witness their good fortune. He tells God, “I served you faithfully all these years, and this is how You repay me?” He accuses God of not following His own Torah by not paying the laborer’s wages on time. He asks God to turn him into a bird instead of dying. The angels refuse to take away Moses' soul.
