.In the Torah of real-time, Israel departs from Egypt in this week’s Torah portion of Beshalach, leaving Egyptian bondage behind forever. Or did we? Rabbi Richman and Yitzchak Reuven discuss the crossing of the sea and learn that the Jewish people had a lot of issues to overcome before they could unite to cross over, and those issues are still relevant today. Plus: Tu B'Shevat, manna from heaven and more!
This week from the Temple Institute:
WEEKLY TORAH PORTION: BESHALACH, with Rabbi Chaim Richman.
The Israelites encounter with the deadly Amalek clearly shows the danger when our faith in G-d weakens. But faith in G-d is not enough. Even the wicked can be men of faith. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
THE MONTH OF SHEVAT: REBIRTH, TORAH, AND THE HOLY TEMPLE:
Each Hebrew month conveys its own unique message. The theme of this month of Shevat is the concept of renewal and rebirth. The process of rebirth is inherent in the very essence of this month. It reaches its crescendo on the 15th day of the month, when we celebrate the holiday of Tu B'Shevat. This day, called "The New Year of Trees, " conveys an uplifting idea: our sages teach that on this day, a unique wave of Divine energy flows through all of creation, a forerunner of the restoration, rejuvenation and rebirth of spring. Deep within the natural world, the vital force of life begins to rise up, within each tree, within each blade of grass, preparing for renewal.
