Torah Portion Vezot Habracha is the 54 and last reading from the Torah. Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when his journey to perfection came to an end. Torah says that his eye was dim, nor his natural forces abated.

The spiritual achievement that Moses accomplish, led him to being discribe as a prophet whome ABBA YAHVEH knew face-to-face; that was quite an achievement for a man who commit murder. Meaning that there is hope for all of us.

The verses in this portion begin with the death of Moses and go on to describe hid burial, the process of mourning and the choising of a new leader.

The Kabbakist say that there is a difference between the prophec of Moses and the prophecy of the other Prophet combine. Most prophets were literally conduit for the word of the CEATOR. Moses however, he embodies the Word, it was said of his that when he leave the presence of ABBA YAHVEH with the essence of the Light of the Word absorbed into Him. This was how Moses was able to write the word.

Yet Moses has not YET done with the children of Yisrael; he seemed to have taken final leave of them in the close of the foregoing chapter, but still he has something more to say.

He had preached them a farewell sermon, a very profuse and pathetic discourse. After The sermon he had given out a psalm, a long psalm; and now nothing remains but to dismiss them with a blessing; that blessing he pronounces in this chapter in the name of the EL YAHVEH, before he leaves them. 

I.                      He pronounces them all blessed in what EL YAHVEH had done for them already, especially in giving them his law verse 2-5.
 
II.                    He pronounces a blessing upon each tribe, which is both a prayer for and a prophecy of their felicity. 

1.     Reuben verse 6. 
2.     Judyah verse 7. 
3.     Levi verse 8–11. 
4.     Benjamin verse 42. 
5.     Joseph verse 13–17. 
6.     Zebulun and Issachar verse 18, 19. 
7.     Gad verse 20, 21. 
8.     Dan verse 22. 
9.     Naphtali verse 23. 
10.  Asher verse 24, 25. 

III.                 He pronounces them all in general blessed upon the account of what EL YAHVEH would be to them, and do for them if they were obedient verse 26, etc.

The Sabbath of Ha’azinu falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is the fifty-third reading in the Torah cycle. As we explore the spiritual significance of this Torah Portion, it is important to be aware of the process our souls are going through during this critical ten-day.

In the ability to understand Rosh Hashanah, lies in the story of Adam and Eve. When Adam Reshon was born, he was both male and female, The CREATOR place Adam in a sleep called dormita so that HE could separate the Spirit from the flesh, Adam from Eve.

The whole purpose of Creation is to cut away or separate the dark side or the selfishness of our ego from ourselves, that why we must experience Rosh Hashanah. In another aspect that mirrors the process of dormita, we transform this ego from the selfish desire to received, to the desire to give.

Rosh Hashanah is the time when the CREATOR sits on the Throne of Judgement, with Messiyah Yahushua as our defense attorney to discuss our spiritual development, how much have we reduce the influence of our selfishness over the last Torah Cycle.

The Kabbalist teach us that not only does our every negative actions attract an negative angels, but this angels remain with us for a Torah Cycle. What happen on Rosh Hashanah? We get a chance to to disconnect from these negative angels that influence our lives, by elevating ourselves spiritually. It is on this day that we separate ourselves from all negative spirit or action.

As we past through another Torah Cycle or another day of Creation we should eliminate from our lives another negative angel, providing we do not go back to them.in the future. They will still exist in our past, or in a lower spiritual level, in the place we were before Rosh Hoshanah.

The gift of ya’arof kamator likchi, which means ‘we will cut off,’ is to encourage us to stay clear of these negative angels by avoiding our former selfish behaviors. The way to make sure that we keep these dark forces from re-attaching themselves to our lives is to see to it that our lives actually changes.

The spiritual gift of the Sabbath of Ha’azinu is that we can turn the judgement that we removed on Rosh Hashanah into Spiritual growth. We can see disappointment for what they are, and we can then turn disappointment into opportunity. Now each disappointment become a gate of Righteousness, a gate through which we and the world can both pass because the gate we create during this seasons are not just for us. What we have opened is an opportunity for additional revelation or Light to enter the world through us.

Rabbi Ashlag explain that there is a related concept called teshuvah me’ahava, this is when a person undertake the process of spiritual correction, called sanctification out of love for the Messiyah. As we prepare for Rosh Hashanah and the ten days of awe let us experience Ha’azinu, we need to realize that there is another way to understand this love that leads to spiritual maturity, not only the love for ABBA YAHVEH, but also a love for the darkness we have created.

From what ever day or Creation we are at today, we can all look back at the negative actions of those years, and realize that not only can we overcome, by separating ourselves from the chaos that we might have experience, but we can also transform our darkness into light, we can turn disappointment into opportunity for spiritual growth. This is the power of Sabbath Ha’azinu.
