Beshalach 5781: Seeing is believing

Introduction

The portion of Beshalach contains events of truly biblical proportions, and between the crossing of the Red Sea and the song which Israel sang on the other side there lies an important lesson. This podcast explores what the parasha can teach us about seeing, fear and faith and how the lessons of the Red Sea may be relevant today.
