פרשיות דרכים – השבוע הזה: לא איש דברים אנוכי: שפה, חורבן ונחמה – חביבה פדיה: דברים

Roadside Parables – This Week: Not a Man of Selfish Words: Language, Destruction and Comfort – Habiva Pedia: Deuteronomy The book of Deuteronomy opens with ‘These are the words that Moses spoke,’ and from it begins a journey back to the moment when Moses refused his mission and said: ‘By my Lord, I am not a man of selfish words.’ From the gap between Moses’ silence, stuttering and humility and the power of speech in the Book of Deuteronomy, a reading of language itself arises here: in its brokenness, in its desecration, and in the possibility of rebuilding a thin, corrected and healing speech. On the threshold of Shabbat Hazon, in days of internal violence and the deterioration of language in the Israeli space, the parable becomes a prayer: no longer a sale of Jewish words and values, but a return to supplication, responsibility and comfort – ‘Comfort, comfort my people.’ * You are invited to join the Beit Midrash WhatsApp group to receive updates and recordings of lessons - Group link - https://chat.whatsapp.com/L5lRHdzG10W...
