What We Discussed: Parashat Ha’azinu

Shavua Tov! Wondering what we discussed this past Shabbat? Here is a link to Friday Night’s D’Var Torah: Children Learn What They Live

On Saturday, we discussed the metaphor of God as Rock and what that means to us. We considered the nature of rocks. We considered that rocks are thought of as unchanging, but they aren’t – they can be changed by water, such as in a canyon. In Torah, we see that God sometimes changes, as when Moses pleads on the Israelites’ behalf. We thought about Moses being unable to enter the land of Israel because he struck the rock at Meribah. What do you think? What does this metaphor mean to you? Here is a link to the source sheet.

Hope to see you next week for Yom Kippur! Shavua Tov!
