Found In the Wilderness
Deuteronomy 32:10
The Wilderness – a significant place where we were ‘found’.
With Cantor Bandman we discussed Who found Whom and where. The significance of the wilderness and the metaphor and vastness that is visualized by this.
One comment I noted: Do we blow the Shofar from the mountaintops to get the attention of us or of God?
We reflected on the reflexive relationship of God as protector of the people as well as on the journey we took and continue to take.
The significance of the ‘heights’ and it’s strategic advantage. And then there was Jess's comment “You never heard of the ‘low holy days’” to remind us that the heights also are a place of awe.
The wrap up brought us to verse 15 – our key challenge – to understand why we go to the land and get “fat and kicked”, why as Samson Raphael Hirsch tells us, we have a hard time with good fortune. And what exactly does Jeshurun represent?
This is ahead!
