Welcome to Ha’Azinu (Listen), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion)
Please follow along as we study this week's Parasha. We know you will be blessed !
It is the last one in the annual cycle to be read on a Shabbat (Sabbath).
The next Torah portion reading is special and celebrates the Festival of Sukkot.
The concluding Torah portion of the annual cycle, V’Zot HaBerachah (And This is the Blessing),
will be read on Simchat Torah, which begins on Monday, October 5th. On the next Sabbath, October 10,
the regular cycle of Torah readings will begin again.
HA’AZINU (Listen!)
Deuteronomy 32:1–52; 2 Samuel 22:1–51; Romans 11:1–36
“Give ear [Ha’Azinu], Oh heavens, and I will speak …” (Deuteronomy 32:1)
Last week, Parasha Vayelech concluded with Moses foreseeing that Israel would turn away from their
covenant with God, causing Him to hide His face from them. Still, Moses promised that the words
of the Torah would not be “forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants.” (Deuteronomy 31:21)
Moses gathered the people together to listen to a shir (song) called Ha’Azinu (Listen).
That song would always be a reminder of the consequences of turning from the Lord.
This week’s Torah portion (Parasha), which is called Ha’Azinu, consists primarily of the 70-line
song that Moses sang to the people of Israel on the last day of his life.
At the end, God commands Moses to go up to the top of Mount Nebo to catch a glimpse of the
Promised Land before being “gathered unto His people.”
“Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which
I am giving to the children of Israel.” (Deuteronomy 32:52)
Moses is allowed to see the land, but not enter in. It is a devastating disappointment and, yet,
he ends his public life with a song. What is the nature of this song? It begins by describing
God’s lovingkindness and faithfulness toward Israel, and it ends with a promise of vengeance,
redemption and atonement for God’s land and people.
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance
to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people.” (Deuteronomy 32:43)

Excellent biblical analysis desseminating events leading to the harpazo !
From USAToday - Is this the start of false signs and wonders ?
Pope held sick baby, what happened next is amazing ...
Lynn Cassidy has no other words to explain what happened to her 3-month-old daughter Ave.
Ave was born with Down syndrome, eye problems and hearing complications.
Most concerning were the two holes in her heart.
“It seems like it was really meant to happen,” Lynn said.
“And it’s as close to a miracle as we’ll ever see, I’m sure.”
In Easter of 2014, the family planned a Rome trip to see Pope Francis in person
during the canonization of John Paul II and John XXIII.
“It was raining,” Lynn said. “We were told that if we stood on a barricade in St. Peter’s Square,
the metal fences in front, the Pope would come by in his ‘Pope’-mobile.”
The Cassidy family waited for hours at the barricade. When the motorcade turned into the square,
Lynn’s husband Scott held Ave up in the air.
“It was like the Lion King,” Lynn said. “The secret service person, Johnny, stopped and
took her from Scott and held her up to the Pope. The Pope asked my husband, ‘How old is she?
What’s her name?’ He told (the Pope) she has two holes in her heart. When we got home in May,
we went back to the cardiologist for a check-up. One of the holes was completely closed and one was half the size.”

A portrait of Pope Francis kissing Ave hangs in the Cassidy’s hallway.
A snapshot of the divine moment hangs on the family’s wall. The Pope’s hand over
Ave’s heart as he blessed the child. Lynn said the story may be incredible timing,
but she believes it’s divine intervention.
“I mean it’s possible that it closes just over time,” she said. “But when you see the picture that
the professional photographer took, his hand is here and he’s a servant of God.”
Ave is happy and healthy at twenty months. She underwent two eye surgeries and also
received two hearing aids. Her heart is healthy and her smile is contagious.

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Ha'Azinu, Listen
- Worshiping God in the Midst of Great Disappointment !!!
Much of Parasha Ha'Azinu, the portion from Deuteronomy 32:1–43,
is formatted in two columns that reflect its poetic, parallel structure.
Shabbat
Shalom
Welcome to Ha’Azinu
(Listen), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion). We
know you will be blessed as you join us in reading this Torah
portion. It is the last one in the annual cycle to be read on
a Shabbat (Sabbath).
The next Torah portion reading is special and celebrates
the Festival of Sukkot.
The concluding Torah portion of the annual cycle, V’Zot HaBerachah
(And This is the Blessing), will be read on Simchat
Torah, which begins on Monday, October 5th. On the next
Sabbath, October 10, the regular cycle of Torah readings will
begin again.
HA’AZINU (Listen!)
Deuteronomy 32:1–52; 2 Samuel 22:1–51; Romans
11:1–36
“Give ear [Ha’Azinu], Oh
heavens, and I will speak …” (Deuteronomy 32:1)
Last week, Parasha Vayelech concluded with Moses
foreseeing that Israel would turn away from their covenant
with God, causing Him to hide His face from them. Still,
Moses promised that the words of the Torah would not be “forgotten out of the mouths of their
descendants.” (Deuteronomy 31:21)
Moses gathered the people together to listen to a shir (song)
called Ha’Azinu
(Listen). That song would always be a reminder of
the consequences of turning from the Lord.

This week’s Torah portion (Parasha), which is
called Ha’Azinu, consists primarily of the 70-line song that
Moses sang to the people of Israel on the last day of his
life.
At the end, God commands Moses to go up to the top of
Mount Nebo to catch a glimpse of the Promised Land before
being “gathered unto His people.”
“Yet you shall see the land
before you, though you shall not go there, into the land
which I am giving to the children of Israel.” (Deuteronomy
32:52)
Moses is allowed to
see the land, but not enter in. It is a devastating
disappointment and, yet, he ends his public life with a
song.
What is the nature of this song? It begins by describing
God’s lovingkindness and faithfulness toward Israel, and it
ends with a promise of vengeance, redemption and atonement for
God’s land and people.
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with
His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants,
and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide
atonement for His land and His people.”
(Deuteronomy 32:43)
(Deuteronomy 32:43)
Moses views the Promised Land,
by Lord Frederic Leighton
(Dalziels' Bible Gallery, 1881)
It is not only the people of Israel who will
rejoice with this final redemption. The Gentiles will
rejoice together with God’s people.
God’s salvation is for all people — of every tongue,
tribe, race and ethnic background. All people — Jews and
Gentiles — can rejoice together in unity at the goodness of
God.
A portion of this
song has severe words of rebuke against Israel for
infidelity and unfaithfulness to God.
Not only would God “hide His face” from His people but He
would also render judgment.
“I will heap disasters on
them; I will spend My arrows on them. They shall be wasted
with hunger, devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction;
I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, with the
poison of serpents of the dust.” (Deuteronomy
32:23–24)
Although these rebukes seem quite harsh, they reveal that
the discipline of God is for our good and will ultimately end
in our final redemption.

Provoking God and
His People to Jealousy
Moses' song foresees that the people of Israel
will make God jealous with their worship of other false gods
and idols and that God in turn will provoke His people to
jealousy with those who are called “not a nation.”
“They have provoked Me to
jealousy by what is not God; they have moved Me to anger by
their foolish idols. But I will provoke them to jealousy by
those who are not a nation; I will move them to anger by a
foolish nation.”
(Deuteronomy 32:21; see also Romans 11:13–15)
(Deuteronomy 32:21; see also Romans 11:13–15)
This reference to not a
nation is in Hebrew loh
ami. It is found again in the Book of
Hosea:
“I will plant her for myself
in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my
loved one.' I will say to those called 'Not my nation,'
(loh ami) 'You are my nation'; and they will say, 'You are
my God.'" (Hosea 2:23; see also Romans 9:25)
Who are these people who were once “not a nation” and are
now God’s people?
These are the Gentiles who have come to join themselves
with the commonwealth of Israel through the Jewish Messiah: “Once you were not a nation, but now
you are the nation of God; once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy.”
(1 Peter 2:10)
(1 Peter 2:10)
These are the very
people who God has called to salvation to provoke Israel
to jealousy.
“So I ask, did they stumble
in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through
their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to
make Israel jealous.” (Romans 11:11)
Two ultra-Orthodox Jewish men sing and entertain in Meron, Israel.
What will make the Jewish People jealous of these
Gentiles? Isn’t it the other way around? Is it not the
Gentiles who are jealous because God has blessed many Jewish
people with material prosperity?
These blessings seem to be the cause of at least
some of the world’s anti-Semitism.
So when and how will the Jews become provoked to jealousy
by Gentile followers of Yeshua?
It will be when they see the true love, joy, fellowship,
and peace that these Believers possess in Yeshua, even when
the entire material world around them falls apart.
Likewise, it was this ability to sing in the face of
apparent tragedy that set Moses apart from the others.
All but a few of his generation had died in the wilderness
because of their unbelief. Moses himself was about to die,
having never entered the Promised Land. But he still praised God in
song—reminding Israel of God’s power, love, and
faithfulness.
The Rock and His
Righteous Judgment
In his song, Moses uses the metaphor of God as a
rock—steadfast, strong, immovable and unchanging.
It is for these particular qualities that the rabbis chose a
verse from this Parasha as the opening line of the Jewish
burial service called Tziduk
haDin (Righteous Judgment).
The prayer begins with Deuteronomy 32:4:
“He is the Rock, His work is
perfect; for all His ways are justice, A God of truth and
without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.”
In contrast to all these wondrous qualities of God, the
Torah portion describes man as corrupt, perverse, and crooked
to the point of being compared to Sodom and Gomorrah.
“For their vine is of the
vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes
are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter. Their wine
is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of cobras.” (Deuteronomy
32:32–33)
There is no way to
bridge the wide chasm between the corruption of man and
the holiness of God except for one—that
narrow gate that leads to life is through Yeshua HaMashiach
(Jesus the Messiah). He said, “I
am the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the
Father but through Me.” (John 14:6)
In addition to being compared to a rock, Moses also likens
God to an eagle — a bird of great strength and vision — who
took the children out of Egypt on His outstretched wings.
“As an eagle stirs up its
nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking
them up, carrying them on its wings, so the LORD alone led
him, and there was no foreign god with him.” (Deuteronomy
32:11–12)

Music and Vessels of
Praise
Music has been called the universal language of the heart
and, therefore, Moses uses the song of Ha’Azinu to complete
his life’s mission with a stirring challenge to the people of
Israel.
What is Moses’ message? It is that our actions
have consequences — for good or for evil — and that our very
survival depends upon our faithfulness to God our Rock.
Music and song have always been an integral part of the
Jewish People.
England’s former chief rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, wrote,
“Jewish life is a symphony whose score is the Torah, whose
composer is God, whose orchestra is the Jewish people, and
whose most moving performance is on Simchat Torah.” (Torah
with a Twist of Humor, Joe Bobker, p. 409)
A particular kind of Jewish music originating from Eastern
Europe called Klezmer comes from the modern Hebrew words klei (vessel or
instrument) and zemer
(song).
We are all walking
vessels or instruments designed to praise God with
singing. It is good to remember that the
singers and musicians were at times sent out in front of the
armies of Israel, and this in itself was enough to bring
victory.
Why is singing such a spiritual, sacred act of worship?
Nineteenth century Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav wrote, “If two
people talk at the same time, neither hears or understands the
other; whereas if two people sing at the same time, they give
each other harmony.” (Bobker, p. 410)
Israelis are drawn to the sweet melodies of street musicians.
Moses’ song has not been forgotten; it has been passed
down from dor l’dor
(generation to generation).
The Levites sang it each week in the First and Second
Temples. Later, after the destruction of the Temples, Jewish
children were taught in religious schools to memorize the
entire song.
Ha’Azinu reminds us that both God and His people
suffer pain through betrayal and infidelity, but those who
come to God in sincere repentance can receive forgiveness.
Moses, called “friend of God,” died alone and yet not
alone, for his very best Friend in the entire universe
remained with him even to the end.
In fact, it was God who buried Moses, and to this day He
alone knows the burial place.

"Hear the word of the LORD,
you nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: 'He who
scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over His
flock like a shepherd.'" (Jeremiah 31:10)
Prayer Alert for the next
33 days: Please pray
for Hadas, that
she would have a visitation / encounter with the God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and be immersed in the Living
Waters of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).
We believe that Hadas will be a future spiritual leader,
including leading Hebrew worship here in Israel, instrumental
in bringing thousands into a relationship with Adonai.
