 Ha'azinu: The Test of Wealth in an Era of Abundance 

In the Torah reading of Ha'azinu, we find a sharp warning given through Moses: "The upright ones became fat and kicked" (Deuteronomy 32:15).  This verse serves as a timeless warning that material success, when detached from Divine awareness, can mislead a person about their dependence on G-d. Today, we live in an era of unprecedented material and technological comfort across much of the globe. Does our modern prosperity draw us closer to the Creator—or subtly turn us away?

The Torah portions before Rosh Hashanah are somewhat related to the special time of Elul and the day of judgment. In last week’s Torah portion, Ki Tavo, we read the opening verse: "And it shall be, when you come into the land" (Deuteronomy 26:1). In its literal sense, this verse speaks of the entry of the Children of Israel into the Promised Land following the Exodus from Egypt and their journey through the wilderness. Some Chabad Hasidic masters explain that "coming into the land" describes the journey of every human soul—the descent of the soul from its pure source Above into this physical world, referred to as the "land."
