Commentary on Parashat Ha'Azinu, Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Every week, Julie Seltzer, artist and Torah scribe, bakes a challah depicting an aspect of the week’s Torah portion.

And Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song. (Deuteronomy 31:30)

 

וַיְדַבֵּר משֶׁה, בְּאָזְנֵי כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה, הַזּאת

challah ear
