Parashat Beshalach: Exodus 13:17—17:16 – The Wilderness

This week’s Torah Portion: Parashat Beshalach is found in Exodus 13:17—17:16. Join David as he focuses on the next stage of the Children of Israel’s journeys. Yes, Hashem saved the Children of Israel from bondage in Egypt through His mighty acts and wonders, but now they were entering the true testing ground: The Wilderness. Here they would go through a maturing process as Hashem put them through trials, tribulations, and constant conditioning. Finally, as was hammered home in the last several Torah portions, Moses was their leader and guide throughout the Wilderness, teaching them the ways of Hashem and how to draw closer to Him. Similarly for us, Messiah Yeshua is our leader and guide to bring us through the “wildernesses” of our everyday lives, teaching us the ways of Hashem and how to draw closer to Him.
