it's time for rabbi minkowitz weekly
tour lesson
a place where life's most difficult
questions are answered
here with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi minkowitz
welcome to our weekly torah lesson this
week is pasha's bashalach
as we know in life we all want to do the
right thing we are we want to do what
god wants from us
but there are times when we have
challenges
doing the right thing and doing what god
wants so the question is
how should one view the challenges and
difficulties in doing what god wants
so in this week's torah portion pasha's
basalach we are learning about the most
historic moment
that took place for the jewish people of
after being in exile for 210 years they
are finally leaving
to be free people and they are
confronted now with the greatest
challenge
on one hand god told them he's taking
them out of egypt they're going to be
free people
on the other hand behind them they have
the egyptians running after them wanting
to kill them
in front of them they have the sea which
is
one big c where are they to go the
jewish people turn to moses
and moses turns to god and god says da
barrel benedict's royal visa
speak to the jewish people let them
travel travel where
the water is in front of them but if god
says to travel you have to travel
they're stuck there is one jew nakshon
ben aminodov takes god's
message literally and if god says to
travel he travels and where does he go
right in to the water as he
jumps in the water the water
miraculously split
what a message from god when god says
travel
you can have the water in front of you
you can have any obstacle in front of
you do what god asked you to do god will
take over the rest
and part the rest of your sea as he
parted the rest of the sea for the
jewish people
so the lesson and the message is very
very clear
if you're doing what god wants and you
have challenges
and difficulties it's god testing you
whether you're going to sincerely follow
him and if you
pass the test and sincerely follow god
god will part the ways for you and you
will see
