General Overview: The bulk of this week's Torah reading, Ha'azinu,
consists of a poetic song delivered by Moses and Joshua. The song is a
prophecy of what will transpire to the Jews – the good and the bad –
until the end of times. The portion concludes with G‑d commanding Moshe
to climb Mount Nevo, from where he would see the Promised Land before
his passing.
Aliya Summary: The heavens and earth,
permanent fixtures of this world, are called upon to be witnesses to the
words which Moshe will now say. The Torah, Moshe declares, is life to
this world, much as rain and dew are to vegetation. G‑d is righteous and
just, and all corruption stems from His children, who are thankless and
lack the wisdom to recognize the source of all their blessing.
