The Reckoning is an album by the Israeli band Asaf Avidan & the Mojos released in Israel in 2008. The album's 15 tracks blended rock, folk and blues with Avidan's lyrics about relationships and betrayal. The album was certified gold status in a year, and platinum later, and would eventually become the biggest selling "independent" record of all time in Israel. It was chosen as Album of the Year (2008) by various media, including Time Out Tel Aviv.

"Reckoning Song" was the first single released from the album in Israel. It would eventually become a huge international hit for Asaf Avidan retitled and remixed as "One Day / Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Rmx)".

"Weak", the second single of the album, became a huge radio hit and its video was "Video of the Year" on Israel's music channel. "Weak" would also be the title song of the film L'Arbre (English title The Tree) by Julie Bertuccelli, which starred Charlotte Gainsbourg and was the closing film at Cannes Film Festival 2010.
