Episode 236 - Parshat Ha'azinu: Resistance and Acceptance in Moshe's Death

This conversation with Rabbanit Dr. Jennie Rosenfeld movingly addresses the preparations for Moshe's death at the end of the parsha. While he initially resists God's punishment, Moshe ends up taking an active role in his death both by physically bringing himself to the place of departure as well as preparing the nation for his absence. This conversation weaves between the parsha, honest musings about life's toughest matters, and highlights where these themes show up in the High Holiday season.
