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.‎
