"Separation" in Ha'azinu
Deuteronomy 32:1-32:52
Summary
This week, Modya and David explore Moses's final, poetic message to Israel (Ha'azinu, Deut. 32:1-32:52), through the lens of the trait of prishut, or "separation". As we begin to separate from the current year, Moses prepares to separate from Israel -- and from his dream of entering the Land. Moses calls heaven and earth to witness against the people, but depicts God as the enduring Rock on whom the people can and must rely. We ask ourselves: what must we separate from, and upon what can we enduringly rely? Thanks for listening!
