COMING SUNDAY AT SUNDOWN. IF YOU HAVEN’T PURCHASED A ‘NEW’ FRUIT YOU CAN DO SO THROUGH
SUNDAY.
Parsha Beshalach Part 1
It is most unusual for a
Parsha to get a nickname. Ours has two: Parsha Shira (Song by the Sea) and
Parsha Ha Mann (Manna).
13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that
God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near;
for God said: 'Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they
return to Egypt.'
Derek (way of the land)
Eretz Plishtim is the normal events of the world. Mountains did not become mole
hills, a cloud by day does not protect a nation from sun burn or sun stroke and
they were cooler and less thirsty. But the way or Derek of the Nations was not
the way of Yisrael under the guidance of the L-RD.
18 But God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by
the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for he had straitly sworn the
children of Israel, saying: 'God will surely remember you; and ye shall carry
up my bones away hence with you.'
Moshe is the only one
who keeps the promise of Am Yisrael and Yosef’s bones via the DIVINE NAME is
found and floats up in the diverted section of the Nile for Yisrael to carry
back to Eretz Yisrael.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham,
in the edge of the wilderness. 21 And the LORD went before them by day in a
pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to
give them light; that they might go by day and by night: 22 the pillar of cloud
by day, and the pillar of fire by night, departed not from before the people.
This guidance was from
HASHEM and more accurate than modern Waze.
14:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 'Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between
Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon, over against it shall ye encamp by the
sea.
Is history about to repeat
itself? Will the Iranian Missiles end up exploding early with the help of G-D? HASHEM is doing this not to scare the Bnei
Yisrael, but to entrap the Egyptians and make a Kiddush HASHEM. “The ways of
the L-RD are straight” Tehillim 25:4.
3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel: They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. 4 And I will harden
Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get Me honor upon
Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the
LORD.' And they did so.
He will pursue them and think:
“Now I got them!”
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled; and
the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned towards the people, and
they said: 'What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving
us? 6 And he made ready his chariots, and took his people with him. 7 And he
took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains
over all of them.
We just got rid of our
slave labor and Pyramid Designers and Engineers.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he
pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with
a high hand. 9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots
of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the
sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. 10 And when Pharaoh drew
nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians
were marching after them; and they were sore afraid; and the children of Israel
cried out unto the LORD.
They are trapped. The
Iranian Plan today is not to destroy our military bases but to knock out the population
of cities. This shows what they planned if they had nuclear bombs.
11 And they said unto Moses: 'Because there were no graves in
Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou
dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt? 12 Is not this the word
that we spoke unto thee in Egypt, saying: Let us alone, that we may serve the
Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we
should die in the wilderness.'
As usual, the Bnei
Yisrael will not say “Dayaynu” ([what you have done] is enough for us). They
complain about their situation. They are also with a slave mentality which is
the main reason they were not brought into Eretz Yisrael via the way of the
Plishtim.
13 And Moses said unto the people: 'Fear ye not, stand still, and
see the salvation of the LORD, which He will work for you to-day; for whereas
ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more forever. 14
The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.'
Do not fear Yisrael. This
shall be the end for the Egyptians. Though you have seen them today, you will
see them no more.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Wherefore cry thou unto Me? speak
unto the children of Israel, that they go forward. 16 And lift thou up thy rod,
and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of
Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
Here is what you are to
do: Lift your staff and the sea will dry up and you and the Bnei Yisrael will
pass through on dry land. Nachshon from Yehuda walks into the water up to his nostrils and then the water splits and
according to the Medrash unto 12 paths.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and
they shall go in after them; and I will get Me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all
his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 18 And the Egyptians shall
know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten Me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his
chariots, and upon his horsemen.'
It is time for me to
show Pharaoh and his soldiers, who rules this world, sky, land and water. I
will fight you battle for you.
19 And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them,
and stood behind them; 20 and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of
Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness here, yet gave it light by
night there; and the one came not near the other all the night. 21 And Moses
stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by
a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters
were divided. 22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon
the dry ground; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and
on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the
midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
The Egyptians are hit by
darkness again from the cloud and the Bnei Yisrael get light all night from the
pillar of fire.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the LORD looked
forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud,
and discomfited the host of the Egyptians. 25 And He took off their chariot
wheels, and made them to drive heavily; so that the Egyptians said: 'Let us
flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the
Egyptians.'
In the morning, the L-RD
lets the 600 chariots with the armored drivers and archers/spearmen through into
the sea. Now the area that perhaps was frozen by the strong east wind is now
starting to melt as dawn is starting to break. The sand on the bottom no longer
allows free passage of chariots but bogs down the wheels. They are stuck and they run back through
almost quick-sand with their armor.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the
sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and
upon their horsemen.' 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and
the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians
fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Now the walls of frozen
waters melt and the Egyptians find themselves below sea level.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen,
even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there
remained not so much as one of them. 29 But the children of Israel walked upon
dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their
right hand, and on their left. 30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of
the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the
sea-shore.
The soldiers find
themselves meters upon meters deep knocked by waves and whirling waters. Those who knew how to swim die by
waves or the weight of their armor.
31 And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did upon the
Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD, and
in His servant Moses.
The waters let the Bnei
Yisrael through and then fell upon the entrapped Egyptians drowning them.
15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the
LORD, and spoke, saying: I will sing unto the LORD, for He is highly exalted;
the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea. 2 The LORD is my strength
and song, and He is become my salvation; this is my God, and I will glorify
Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him.
The had their doubts even
after the 10 plagues, but now they knew
and saw.
3 The LORD is a man of war, The LORD is His name.
We were incapable of
fighting our battle, but the L-RD fought for our forefathers.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath He cast into the sea, and
his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. 5 The deeps cover them--they went
down into the depths like a stone.
We walked through the
depths of the sea like dry land and the Egyptians
drowned.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, Thy right hand, O
LORD, dashes in pieces the enemy. 7 And in the greatness of Thine excellency
Thou overthrow them that rise up against Thee; Thou send forth Thy wrath, it
consumes them as stubble. 8 And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were
piled up--the floods stood upright as a heap; the deeps were congealed in the
heart of the sea.
The strong east wind making
12 water walled lanes were like a snort of HASHEM’s nostrils splitting the sea.
9 The enemy said: 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide
the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand
shall destroy them.'
This was the plan of the
Egyptians similar what the Iranian Revolutionary Guard did to their citizens.
10 Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them; they sank
as lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the
mighty? who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing
wonders? 12 Thou stretch out Thy right hand--the earth swallowed them. 13 Thou
in Thy love hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them
in Thy strength to Thy holy habitation. 14 The peoples have heard, they
tremble; pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. 15 Then were
the chiefs of Edom affrighted; the mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold
upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
You have ‘fought’ them
and ‘trapped’ them and the surrounding nations now fear you and the Bnei
Yisrael.
16 Terror and dread falls upon them; by the greatness of Thine arm
they are as still as a stone; till Thy people pass over, O LORD, till the
people pass over that Thou hast gotten. 17 Thou bring them in, and plant them
in the mountain of Thine inheritance, the place, O LORD, which Thou hast made
for Thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
Egypt was the superpower
of its day and now completely physically and militarily defeated.
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his
horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon
them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
They drowned and our
forefathers walked through the sea as if it were dry land.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel
in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with
dances. 21 And Miriam sang unto them: Sing ye to the LORD, for He is highly
exalted: the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.
Miriam and the women
also sang praises to HASHEM not just the men. To be continued:
A war story told by Rav Kochavi Chabad Hashmonaim
The war has its toll
on soldiers. A fellow from Pennsylvania had been at the Nova Party. He was a
volunteer in the IDF. He went into a building in Gaza with two friends and they
were blown-up with the building one to the right and one to the left.
After that, he took
his Bar Mitzvah Tephillin and smashed them with a hammer. He was with friends
on Sukkos at Chabad when he told his story. The Rav hosting the Chabad Party
somewhere, told him our Parsha. Moshe saw what was happening and broke the two
Luchos with the Asera Dibros. G-D said, “You did well, but now carve out new
ones.”
The fellow calmed down
a bit. The Rav said that he was angry at his father in heaven for not saving
his friends along with himself. If you did not believe you would have left the
Tephillin alone. He then agreed that he should put on Tephillin again. Chabad
offered to pay for a new pair, but he
said, “I broke it, I take full responsibility.” He paid for it.
From
Facebook a WWII Story
Japanese Couldn't Stop This Marine With a ‘Medieval’ Bow — Until 116 Fell
in 5 Days
November 17th, 1943. Bugenville Island, Solomon Islands. The tropical
darkness hung thick over the jungle perimeter as Private First Class Howard
Hill crouched in his fighting position, fingers gently testing the bowring
tension. 70 yards to his front, Japanese soldiers of the Sixth Infantry
Division were preparing their nightly infiltration attempt.
They had no idea they were being hunted by a weapon older than gunpowder
itself. Through years of jungle warfare, Japanese troops had learned to
recognize every sound of American firepower, the distinctive bark of M1
Garands, the chatter of Browning automatic rifles, the crack of Springfield
sniper rifles. They understood these weapons, feared them, developed tactics to
counter them.
But tonight they would encounter something their training manuals never
addressed. Something their officers insisted was impossible on a modern
battlefield. Hill drew his 70-lb longbow, a weapon he had carried from
California, despite the protests of supply sergeants who insisted it was not
regulation equipment.
The arrow, a hunting broadhead he had modified himself, was knocked and
ready. No muzzle flash would reveal his position. No ejected brass would mark
his location. No report would alert enemy reinforcements. Just the whisper of
string and shaft, and death delivered in absolute silence.
Asher Zaguri vs. Yaniv Zaguri
Asher was a young man
in our Kollel. Suddenly, he started to be absent, came late or left early. I
told Rav Mimran, that we would have to kick him out as he was setting a bad
example for the rest of the Kollel. So even though Asher was a serious
learning, we ended up with no choice but to kick him out. Unbeknown to us,
Asher was not twiddling his thumbs but finding patrons and a building to open
up his own Yeshiva. Some people are more suited for Gemara than intensive
Halacha. Yashar Koach to Asher.
With the exception of
the same family name, Yaniv was very different from Asher. Yaniv was head of
the Beer Sheva Mafia. He killed the wife of a State Witness in Netanya before
having his henchmen murder the witness. Another witness also was murdered. This
week he and one of his henchmen were sentenced. He received three life
sentences one after the other plus 15 more years for other crimes. His likes
will never see the outside world again. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rkitkt4izl

Day 841 start of week 121
It was said on the news Friday that
according to the population of National Religious Soldiers they lost 4 times
the number compared to the non-religious population.
For those who did not read my
blogspot commentary, I wrote how the Bnei Yisrael were in tense anticipation
waiting for the redemption and Israelis feel that way today with the tension
over Iran. It appears to be this coming week or in a number of hours?
From Dick A:
The situation in Iran has taken a
mysterious turn.
Red China has executed a massive and
unprecedented logistical surge, landing 16 military cargo planes in Iran within
just 56 hours.
This rapid airlift — believed to be
the largest such transfer ever recorded in such a compressed timeframe — marks
a dramatic escalation in the strategic military partnership between Beijing and
Tehran.
The operation almost certainly
utilized China's heavy strategic transport aircraft, primarily the **Y-20
"Kunpeng"** (China's equivalent to the U.S. C-17 Globemaster),
capable of carrying up to 66 tons of cargo over long distances. The sheer
volume and speed of the flights suggest the delivery of high-priority military
supplies, advanced equipment, electronic warfare systems, air defense components,
or possibly technical personnel and advisors.
The air bridge directly challenges and
undermines Western sanctions and containment efforts in the Middle East. By
establishing this rapid, high-capacity resupply route, China is placing itself
firmly in Iran's corner at a moment of extreme regional tension and internal
instability in Tehran.
Analysts describe the move as a clear
**game-changer** in the geopolitical balance of power. It demonstrates — in
highly visible fashion — China's ability to rapidly project military logistics
power thousands of miles beyond its borders, something previously considered an
exclusive capability of the United States. The operation solidifies an emerging
**anti-Western axis** capable of mutual support and rapid reinforcement,
significantly complicating U.S. and allied military planning in the region.
The timing is particularly
significant:
- It occurs as Iran's regime faces its
most severe internal crisis in decades
- It follows U.S. threats of imminent
strikes (now reportedly stood down)
- It coincides with Chinese aircraft
already operating in Iranian airspace under the guise of "humanitarian
evacuation"
With this airlift, Beijing has sent an
unmistakable message: China is prepared to physically back its key Middle Eastern
partner — militarily, logistically, and diplomatically — against any external
pressure.
The "air bridge" to Iran is
no longer hypothetical. It is operational, and it is massive.

Yogi Berra said: “It ain’t over
until it is over!”. That is the size of it. With the last of 255 captives home
for the first time since 2014, Gaza is clean of hostages. But wait there is
still the disarming of Hamas. Iran is threatening and so are the Houthis and
Hezballah.
Therefore, I am continuing with my
added Psalms 91, 121, 130 daily and also with this news update. I truly am
tired and want to shut it down but I would be doing a disservice to the
readership. It would save me time just to publish this once a week in the
blogspot.
Once the Iran, Lebanon and Yemen
situations calm down, I should be going back weekly.
Today is International Holocaust Day.
A 13year old German Named Hess learned in school about Auschwitz. He learned
that there was a horrible person who designed the gas chambers and murder
operation next to the five crematoriums. That man was a monster! He asked his
mother if they were related and she said, “He is your grandfather.” Since then,
he became ashamed of his heritage and he does what he can to help holocaust
survivors and that people should never forget.
He visited Auschwitz and told in
English, “That was my grandfather’s house where my father and his siblings
played. Perhaps they might have asked for some of the children entering the
came to play with them instead of going to the gas chambers. If they saw the
starving people or the gas chambers, they might have confronted my grandfather
for answers.”
He took credit for Iron Dome which
is a total Israeli Project. Now he gives Hamas credit for the hard work of the
IDF. https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-hamas-worked-hard-to-return-body-of-last-hostage-now-it-must-disarm/

It is verbal reporting from Nir
Devori today that the evaluation in Israel is that the US will attack Iran
there are still two questions: How hard? When? It also appears that the Iranian
strategy is not to win but to put fear in civilians by attacking the populated
cities and hope for protests.
And for those who don’t read the rabbipauli.blogspot:
14:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 'Speak unto the children of Israel,
that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea,
before Baal-zephon, over against it shall ye encamp by the sea.
Is history about to repeat
itself? Will the Iranian Missiles end up exploding early with the help of G-D? HASHEM
is doing this not to scare the Bnei Yisrael, but to entrap the Egyptians and
make a Kiddush HASHEM. “The ways of the L-RD are straight” Tehillim 25:4.
