V-10 HaAzinu: Our Father, our King, our Judge
Parsha HaAzinu, the shortest parasha section, is called the Song of Moses. It is the last parasha read on a Friday evening following Yom Kippur before the Torah is begun again with Bereshit. The last parasha, V'zoth HaBerach, the Blessing of Moses, is read on Simcha Torah. HaAzinu is tightly related to Yom Kippur in which we stand before God as in the court of a King, pleading forgiveness of the sins we have committed in the previous year. Public confession of sins is chanted in unison in a formal setting of words and music for all people have committed sins together. We have lied, we have bribed, we have scoffed, we have slandered... In confession, we recognize the sovereinity of God our King whose rule is from eternity to eternity and whose throne is in the ehavens and footstool upon the earth. We stand humbled, aware of our mortality and fallibility. No one person is holier than another, but all stand before God for his justice, mercy and redemption. The Song of Moses recounts the exodus from Egypt and the erring ways of the Israelites, their Sinaitic experience and the rebellion of Golden Calf and Korach; the mumblings and groanings of a discontented nation. Moses, confronting his final moments, knows the immediacy of final judgement as he submits to embrace his death.
