This week's portion is one of the most extraordinary in the entire Bible. It tells the story of the flight of the Israelites from Egypt, and the crossing of the Red Sea, an event with profound implications, national and spiritual. The Song of the Sea, in Exodus 15, is one of the most beautiful lyrics in the Torah, and is laid out in a special poetic form on the parchment itself -- a real sight to see.
The additional reading, from Judges 4:4 - 5:31, tells the story of Deborah. The link between the two is the role of female leaders -- Moses's sister, Miriam, prophesied at the Red Sea, and Deborah prophesied at the time of the battle with Sisera. The Torah stresses the unique capabilities of women as leaders, both of whom not only achieve great things but leave a legacy of song to us today.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
