Parsha 16: Beshalach (When he sent) בְּשַׁלַּח

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Beshalach

Parsha 16

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Exodus 13:1717:16 it is called Beshalach which means “when he let go” Pharaoh let the Israelites go. Moses took the bones of Joseph and God went before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. The Israelites camped by the sea, Pharaoh had a change of heart, and he chased the Israelites with chariots. God used Moses to part the Red Sea and the Israelites went through. The Egyptians pursued, but God slowed them by locking their chariot wheels. God used Moses to close the red sea and armies drown. Miriam than sang a song to God. Three days later they came to Marah but the water was bitter. God sweetened the water with a piece of wood that Moses chucked into the water. Soon hunger became an issue and God provided bread that fell from the sky. They wanted meat so God provided quail. The Manna would expire after a day except before Sabbath. Thirsty again, the Israelites complained and God instructed Moses to hit a rock and water flowed out. Israel was attacked by Amalek. During the battle Moses held up his hand and Israel prevailed; but whenever he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. Moses grew weary, he sat on a stone, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, and Joshua conquered Amalek in battle. God would utterly blot out the memory of Amalek. And that is Beshalach in 60 seconds.

Parsha 15: Bo (Go or Come) בֹּא

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Bo

Parsha 15

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Exodus 10:1-13:16 it is called Bo which means “go” or “come” Seven out of ten plagues have been performed and Pharaoh keeps changing his mind about letting the Israelites go. God used and east wind and brought an onslaught of locusts on the land. Pharaoh begged for forgiveness, and asked them to plead with God to remove the locusts. God used a west wind to lift the locusts into the Sea of Reeds. God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go. Then God brought darkness upon the land, but the Israelites enjoyed light. Pharaoh tried negotiating terms in which the Israelites left their flocks behind. Moses rejected the terms. Pharaoh reacted in anger yelling”[T]he moment you look upon my face, you shall die.” Moses warned Pharaoh that God would kill every firstborn in Egypt. God instructed the Israelites to take the blood of a sacrificed lamb and mark the frames of their doorposts so that when the angel of death came, he would Passover and the house would be saved. That night God struck down all the firstborn in Egypt. Pharaoh woke up in the night to a loud cry in Egypt. Pharaoh let the Israelites and go. God instructed Moses to tell the Israelites to consecrate to God every firstborn man and beast, and Moses did so. And that is Bo in 60 seconds.

In depth look into this weeks Torah portion

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Va’eira

Parsha 14

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Exodus 6:2-9:35 it is called Va’eira which means “and I appeared” God speaks to Moses and shares His plan to save His people but the Israelites would not listen God tells Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, but Moses kvetches about public speaking because his “speech impediment” so Aaron becomes is voice. God would harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that God might show signs and marvels. The first meeting did not go so well as both Aaron and pharaoh’s priests threw down rods and had an epic snake battle. Pharaoh’s heart stiffened. God sent ten plagues on Egypt which had direct connection with the Egyptian gods. God turned the Nile into blood killing all the fish; infested Egypt with frogs, lice, swarms of locus; struck the Egyptian’s livestock with a pestilence; caused boils on man and beast throughout Egypt, sent thunder and hail, which struck down all exposed in Egypt. Pharaoh confessed his wrong, agreed to let the Israelites go, and asked Moses and Aaron to pray to end the hail. Moses did so, but Pharaoh reverted to his guilty ways. OR DID HE! And that is Va’eira in 60 seconds.

Parsha 13: Sh’mot (names) שְׁמוֹת

First Fruits of Zion

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Sh’mot

Parsha 13

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Exodus 1:1–6:1 it is called Shemot which means “names” Jacob descendants filled the land of Egypt. Joseph and all of his generation died. A new Pharaoh arose but did not know Joseph. He feared the amount of Israelites and enslaved them. He commanded the Hebrew midwives to kill all baby boys at birth but they feared God and disobeyed. Pharaoh commanded that all newborn boys be cast in the river. A Levite couple hid their baby boy for three months. Finally he was sent down river in a basket and Pharaoh’s daughter found and adopted him and named him Moses which means “drawn out of the water”. Moses grew up and he saw injustice on the Hebrews and killed an Egyptian. He ran away and met the Midian’s and married into their family. God heard the cry of the Hebrews and while Moses was watching sheep God appeared to Moses as a burning bush. Moses was sent back to Egypt and God would perform many wonders through Moses’ staff. God hardened Pharaohs heart. Moses and his bro Aaron confronted Pharaoh and he was like “hey, let my people go.” And pharaoh was like “yeah, um no.” Pharaoh then made the Israelites work even harder and blamed Moses for it. Moses asked God why thinks did not work out and God told Moses that the show was just beginning and he would throw down on the Pharaoh. And that is Shemot in 60 seconds.

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Vayechi

Parsha 12

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Genesis 47:2850:26 it is called Vayechi which means “and he lived” Jacob was old and ready to die. He wanted to be buried with Abraham and Isaac and bless his children before he departed. Jacob blessed Joseph’s sons and prophesied that the younger would rule the older. Jacob then prophesied over the rest of his sons. Reuben would have Jacob’s might but be unstable as water. Simeon and Levi were violent. Judah would rule his brothers and be very wealthy. Zebulun’s would be a sailor Issachar would be a hard worker. Dan would judge his people. Gad would be mugged, but would mug the muggers in return. Asher’s would make really good bread. Naphtali would give good advice. Joseph would be like a fruitful vine that blesses everyone. Benjamin would be a ravenous wolf that devours its prey. After all this he died and was buried in Canaan. After Jacob’s death, Joseph’s brothers were scared that Joseph would punish them for their evil but Joseph forgave them and told them not to fear, for he was not God, and even though they had intended him evil, God meant it for good, to save many people. Joseph grew old and saw much blessing he made the children of Israel swear to carry his bones to Canaan. Joseph died in Egypt. And that is Vayechi in 60 seconds.
