Chasidut su Deuteronomio 31:22
וַיִּכְתֹּ֥ב מֹשֶׁ֛ה אֶת־הַשִּׁירָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֑וּא וַֽיְלַמְּדָ֖הּ אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Così Mosè scrisse questa canzone lo stesso giorno e le insegnò ai figli d'Israele.
Kedushat Levi
Deuteronomy 31,22-24 “Moses wrote down this ‘song’ in a book until its conclusion.”
Our sages in Pessachim> 87 state that the only reason that the Jewish people were exiled and scattered among the various nations [instead of being banished to a large but unpopulated island, Ed.] is in order for their presence to attract worthy people amongst the gentiles to have a chance to convert to Judaism. Only the Israelites are able to help these “sparks” of holy spirits among the gentiles which have “fallen” from their celestial home to rehabilitate themselves through becoming attached to the Jewish nation. [Our author has belaboured this concept on several occasions. Ed.] This is also why the words Moses addresses to his nation on this occasion have been entitled “שירה,” “song,” expressing one’s feelings of joy poetically. This is so in spite of the fact that the Israelites at the time are in exile on foreign soil, and may be presumed not to feel joyous at all. The positive aspects to exile, which are exclusive to exile, actually are a joyful experience, as, once the “lost souls,” i.e. “sparks“ of spirituality scattered among the gentile people have been repatriated, there is nothing to hinder G’d from annihilating the remainder of these people.
