Выпуск: Gal Einai — u gal einei — Ha'azinu 5784. Темы: не определены автоматически. From “Remember the days of old” 1 all the way to the herald of the final redemption when “He will purify His land for the sake of His people.” 2 The sages state, “This poem is great for it includes the present, it includes the past, and it includes the future to come and it includes this world and it includes the World to Come.” 3 In the words of the Nachmanides, “it includes all the future that will be, even though it is short in words.” 4 Thus, we find that the poem of Ha’azinu is all-inclusive, which explains why it specifically is the unique inheritance bequeathed to us by Moses on the day of his passing from this world.

And when he actually does go completely overboard, he mockingly asks the Ramban “Is my story—the story that completely contradicts the Torah—also in Ha’azinu?” In other words, can the Torah include the story of the person who contradicts and rejects the Torah? In Kabbalistic terminology, the foreknowledge is found in the primordial thought of Primordial Man, which on the one hand includes everything, until the lowest level of the World of Action, while on the other hand, Primordial Man contains no vessels, therefore the light of this foreknowledge cannot be revealed.
