¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

With today’s videos and twenty four hour news cycle coverage bombarding our computers and smart phones one might watch the same catastrophe over and over again to the point of despair. Case in point; the insurrection at the Capital. In fact, more to come once the impeachment trial begins in two weeks. Contrast that with the instructions as found in this week’s Parashas Beshalach to the Bnei Yisroel following the parting of the Sea of Reeds and the subsequent drowning of the pursuing Egyptian army. To combat the natural inclination to watch the disaster unfolding and the spoils of victory behind them, the Bnei Yisroel are instructed to look away and march onward. These sentiments remind us to as well to look forward and not dwell on the same scenes. Yes, its important to remember and hold perpetrators accountable, but one should not let their lives be overtaken by events. The way to Sinai requires discipline and perseverance. That was the task of the Bnei Yisroel in this coming week’s Parashas Beshalach and that is our obligation today.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well as well as those worldwide with this virus. We mention their names at each Torah reading and think about them in our private tefillos. Let Hashem hear our tefillos on their behalves, and all have a speedy recovery. If there is a choleh that needs a misheberach, please email their name to anshemotele@sbcglobal.net .
Since we are not at shul with Torah readings, in your private shmone esrai, you can include in the “Refaeinu” paragraph a special tefilla for the cholim that you have in mind.
