Parsha 21

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Exodus 30:11–34:35 it is called Ki Tisa which means “when you take” Moses took a census and each person 20 years old or older gave a half-shekel offering for the tent of meetings A copper laver was placed for ceremonial washing before sacrifice. Moses used a secret recipe to make anointing oil and anointed the entire tent of meetings. Moses make another secret sacred incense to burn in the Tent of Meeting. Moses recruited gifted men to supply all furnishings Moses told the people to KEEP the Sabbath. While receiving the two stone tablets from God, the people got finicky and demanded Aaron make them a god. So he did. He made a golden calf. God was not happy. Moses pleaded for the people and God decided not to blow them up. Moses was outraged by the sin of the people and chucked the tablets. He burned the calf, ground it to powder, strewed it upon the water, and made the Israelites drink it. Moses and the Levites killed 3,000 people. God plagued the rest of the sinners. The Israelites were off to the promise land. God was so angry the tent of meeting was moved outside the camp. Moses asked God to lead them and He agreed. Moses wanted to see God, and God explained no one can see God’s face and live. Moses saw God’s back. God remade the tablets. God promised to drive out the peoples of the Promised Land and warned against idolatry, keeping the Sabbath, keeping the holidays, not practicing in pagan rituals. 40 days and 40 nights later Moses came down with the tablets. He was glowing. He spoke the law to the people and then veiled his face. When speaking to God he would unveil. And that is Ki Tisa in 60 seconds.

Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and 70 elders were invited by God to bow to God from afar. Moses presented the word of the LORD to the people, who answered: “All the things that the Lord has commanded we will do!” Moses then wrote the commandments down. He built an altar and young Israelites offered sacrifices. Moses read the covenant aloud to the people, who affirmed that they would follow it. Moses took blood from the sacrifices and dashed it on the people. Moses and his crew then ascended the mountain, saw God, ate, and drank. God told Moses to come up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone which contained the commandments. Moses and Joshua arose, and Moses ascended Mount Sinai, leaving Aaron and Hur in charge. A cloud covered the mountain, hiding the Presence of the Lord for six days, appearing to the Israelites as a fire on the top of the mountain. Moses went inside the cloud and remained on the mountain 40 days and nights. And that is Mishpatim in 60 seconds.

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.
