Get StartedJANUARY 31, 2023 - Beshalach: What Is Belief In God? (Part 9 of 47)
Season One of Into the Verse, Exclusive Content for our Premium Subscribers
Parshat Beshalach tells the story of the end of the Exodus and the crossing of the Red Sea. And after all of that, we get three short stories of stops that the Israelites took while journeying from the Red Sea to the Sinai desert, each one involving some kind of food or water crisis that leads the Israelites to complain. It seems pretty clear that these stories are connected, but what are we supposed to take from them?
Rabbi David Fohrman, along with Imu Shalev, took a look at these three stories and noticed a word that keeps coming up: Test. So what does this all mean? Imu and Rabbi Fohrman put their heads together to figure it out.
