Torah Thoughts from Rabbi Doug…
Yom Kippur
On Yom Kippur we read the story of the Ten Martyrs. Rabbi Akiva was among those ten great personalities who died sanctifying G-d's name. The Talmud in Berachos 61b relates that as Rabbi Akiva was being tortured to death and his students saw him reciting the Shema with joy; seemingly oblivious to the pain he was enduring. The incongruity of the moment was so apparent that even Tyrnus Rufus, the Roman commander who had ordered the execution, asked Rabbi Akiva how he was able to laugh in the face of such horrendous torture. Rabbi Akiva's students, who were equally amazed at their teacher'endurance understood the moment to be far more profound than mere stoic courage and endurance. They asked their beloved teacher, "Is the Mitzvah of reciting the Shema incumbent upon an individual under such dire circumstances?" Rabbi Akiva explained. "The Torah commands us to love G-d with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our belongings. All my life I wondered whether I would ever fulfill this Mitzvah of loving G-d with all my soul. Now that I have been granted the opportunity of loving G-d with my very life should I not do so with joy and exultation?" As the Jews faced Moshe's eminent death that we will read about on Simchat Torah, and struggled with their own fears of abandonment and loneliness, Moshe's harmony and melodies reached in to the depths of the nation's heart and soul with love and longing. So, how did Moshe prepare for death? Moshe Rabbeinu sang a song of creation and renewal, truth, and hope. Moshe called upon heaven and earth to witness the triumph of divine justice over mortal man. Moshe sang forth a challenge to his people to rise above their own limited mortality and become greater than the angels.
"…It is the name of Hashem that I procclaim, Ascribe greatness to our G-d!" (Deuteronomy 32:3)
So, how did Moshe prepare to die? He prepared himself wrapped in love, longing, obedience, happiness, joy, and song.. We too must approach Yom Kippur wrapped in longing, obedience, happiness, joy, and song, the song we read this past Shabbat of Haazinu.
