1. Mizmorim 96 and 98

   Kabbalat Shabbat (Part 2)

   Rabbi Avi Baumol

   A comparison between Mizmors 96 and 98 mirror the two aspects of Shabbat previously described. Mizmor 96 calls out to the world and to nature to praise God while Mizmor 98 calls out to praise ‘our’ God for the salvation he has brought to the Jewish Nation.

2. Mizmor 97

   Kabalat Shabbat (Part 3)

   Rabbi Avi Baumol

   The progression of the praising of God is noted: from the universal natural, to the nations of the world and ultimately culminating with the righteous people in the world praising God for the coming of the day of Judgement. God’s victory over the idol gods is evaluated.

3. The Key to Tanach: Haazinu and its Hidden Messages

   Rabbi Yitzchak Twersky

   תאריך פרסום: 5777 | | Hour and 10 minutes

   In this shiur, we explore what Haazinu is indirectly talking about, and how it impacts on the rest of Tanakh. Biblical poetry leaves much of the depth of meaning between the lines, and Haazinu is no different. We identify three dimensions of Haazinu, and the relationship among them is the main focus of the shiur.

   Though the surface level of the poem - the peshat - obviously relates to sin and the consequences thereof - questions of how God runs the world, wordplay and allusions seem to point to various key moments of the Torah - the very beginning (the Garden of Eden) and the "middle" - the Sin of the Spies and Moshe and the rock.   As we analyze the hints deriving from the word choice within Haazinu and look at the other texts inside, we gain a deeper perspective of the issues of sin and consequence within the relationship between God and Israel, while gaining insights about Moshe along the way.

4. The Testimony of the Song

   Rabbi Dr. Yoel Bin Nun

   The song of Haazinu (Devarim 32:1-43) should be as familiar and habitual to us as is the recitation of Shema.[1] It is meant to serve as a witness – but what it is that this song testifies to? The song is a unique prophetic testimony given to Moshe to teach the people during the final days of his life, and it describes the history that will unfold after his death.

   Does the concept of exile exist in Haazinu? The model of “destruction, exile, and redemption” stands at the heart of the covenant of the curses (Devarim 28-30), but Haazinu is built on a different model: that of distress and salvation.
