Am Yisrael reached untold lows, for they are a nation of duplicity, as
mentioned in Ha’azinu, which is read in the season of the Yamim Noraim.
Some commentaries explain that the words “You are standing today” refer
to Rosh Hashanah, when Bnei Yisrael stand before Hashem in judgment.
Every year on Tishah b’Av, Am Yisrael mourn their fallen. Aren’t there
many other nations which experienced destruction of one form or another?
They don’t seem to lament for generations upon end. Am Yisrael’s
mourning is compounded by the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash and
thelossofthe Shechinah from our midst. These were the causes for all
future suffering.
We await the day when the song of Ha’azinu will be converted to the
Song of the Sea, as the pasuk states, “Then Moshe and the Children of
Israel chose to sing this song.”

“See, now, that I, I am He – and no god is with
Me. I put to death and I bring to life, I struck
down and I will heal, and there is no rescuer
from My hand”

(Devarim 32:39)
