Parshah Ha'azinu

Torah as song

Moshe teaches Israel a song. Some truths only survive when we sing them.

Ha'azinu is written in the Torah as a poem, laid out in two columns. Moshe has argued, legislated, blessed, warned. Now, at the end, he sings.

The Sages say a song is remembered when a lecture is forgotten. What we set to music, we carry.

This week, take one thing you keep meaning to remember and give it a rhythm, a phrase, a prayer, a niggun. Let melody do what memory alone cannot.
