Weekly Story for Haazinu: Keep Singing Your Song

The song of Haazinu was sung by Moses on the very last day of his life. While the first two sections are filled with blessings and positivity, the song continues with negative predictions and the challenges of Jewish history. Our Sages tell us that it was sung in the Holy Temple on Shabbat. Why a song of sadness? The lesson is so powerful and relevant: no matter what life brings us, we must remember that we are in the middle of a song. If we keep singing, we will discover the music within. This week’s story is introduced with a fascinating moment that Elie Wiesel experienced in the Rebbe‘s room, followed by the moving story of a song that the Jews kept on singing – Ani Maamin.
