Parshah Ha’azinu
This week’s Torah portion, “Haazinu,” means “Listen” and it is found in Deuteronomy 32:1. This portion contains the song of Moses that he sings to the 12 tribes just before he passes away. He calls heaven and earth as a witness of the Israelites from their past wandering in the wilderness and how G-d took them to Himself, made them a people, and gave them the Promised Land. Moses’ message also warns against the people forsaking G-d and causing G-d “hide His face.” However, in the end G-d and the Isrealites will be reconciled in the land. This Parshah ends with Moses ascending Mount Nemo where Moses sees into the Promised land before his Spirit ascends to Shamayim (Heaven).
