About this episode
After a year at Sinai, the nation is finally on the move. Following the precise protocol of disassembly and decampment, the nation marches off from Sinai. Destination: Land of Canaan. At least that was the plan. More about that next week. In this week’s podcast we explore the events surrounding the Nation’s journey from Sinai. We examine Moshe’s unsuccessful attempt at cajoling Jethro to remain with the nation, the strange feature of the backwards facing nuns, and the inexplicable nostalgia that the nation exhibited for Egypt. Assembled together, we learn about a fantastic superpower of the evil inclination that’s stymies and stifles our ability to easily overcome difficult challenges. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – This Parsha Podcast is dedicated by my dear friend and longtime friend of the podcasts David Borowsky in honor of Shaun Hiller – also a dear friend – on the occasion of his recent engagement to Shira Berman. May they build a beautiful life together and establish a Jewish home that brings joy and delight to their family, community, and to the entire nation. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php .
