Vezot Haberacha, the final Parsha of the Torah, is read on Simchat Torah, the day we rejoice with the Torah.

Babi Yar, Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Dmitri Shostakovich remind us that the moral test of solidarity begins with the suffering of people who are not our own.

Vezot Habracha, the final parsha of the Torah, opens with these words, "This is the blessing with which Moshe, the man of G-d, blessed the Jewish People before his death" (Devarim 33:1).

The crowds share liturgical traditions, and a deeply familiar, rhythmic musical cadence.

"The seemingly small, literal act is never less than the loftiest intention behind it."

Kippur stands untouched by chronological delays.
