Haazinu - The Song That Won’t Be Silenced

Listen,

Heaven and Earth are called because men’s ears grow deaf.

Remember the desert where you were found, hungry, nameless,

alive only by His hand.

But comfort fattens the belly, and fat bellies forget the one Who split the sea.

When the face of Hashem hides, even the sun feels like stone.

Blood cries from the ground, and the land itself testifies against our betrayals.

Yet even in the ruin, His vengeance is love, His fire a purging.

And Moshe, denied entrance, sees the Land but leaves us the song…

…so we would never dare to forget.
