Moses’s Swan Song

Rebecca Good
While there is no plot twist in this parashah, there is a clear deviation in literary style! Haazinu can be literally translated as “listen,” and this song, attributed to Moses, is an exhortation to the Israelites to pay close attention to his words.

Here Comes the Son of Nun

Rebecca Good
Moses was so close to the people and such a huge part of their history that he could only see them as they had been with him: throughout the Exodus, wandering in the desert, and to the point where we find ourselves in Parashat Vayeilech.

Returning to Ourselves

Rebecca Good
Parashat Nitzavim is a fitting passage to read the Shabbat before Rosh HaShanah for many reasons. One reason being that each of us is about to stand before God as our metaphorical Book of Life is opened.

A Time for Silence, a Time to Speak

Rebecca Good
In this parashah, the Israelites are at an inflection point in their journey to peoplehood. Moses will not be entering the Promised Land with them, but can they manage on their own without his guidance?
