ParshatÂ
Beshalaḥ shows that following a premature material liberation from slavery, Israel required a gradual process of psychological liberation in preparation for theÂ
Brit Sinai.
Why couldnât the numerically superior Hebrews fight Egypt at the Sea of Reeds?
If the Torah shares Israelâs collective soul, why was it necessary to be given in the form of a ârule bookâ?
Who was Yehoshua and what about his background made him capable of leading the war against Amalek?
Parshat Beshalaḥ opens by showing us that although the children of Israel had physically left Egypt, they still suffered from a slave mentality. The Torah tells us immediately in the first verse of the parsha â Shâmot 13, verse 17 â that the Creator led the Hebrews on a long detour rather than straight into the Promised Land because the former slaves were not psychologically prepared to fight a war.
