Our Father, Our King: The Difference Between Shirat Hayam and Shirat Ha’azinu

We will be looking at the  two major songs of the Torah - Shirat HaYam- the Song at the Sea, and Shirat Haazinu - the song of dire warnings before Moshe's death. These songs are strikingly different - from their respective literary tones to the way they are recorded on the parchment of the Torah scrolls, and yet each of them are viewed as a national anthem of Am Yisrael.   Somehow, these songs are intriguingly linked. We explore how each song represents a different situation and paradigm, and a important aspect of the relationship between God and His nation.
