In this week's deep dive into Parashat Beshalach, Shlomo Godsi and Rabbi Daniel Kohn explore the pivotal moments of the Exodus: the splitting of the sea, the falling of the Manna, and the first battle with Amalek.

Rabbi Kohn challenges our traditional view of faith, explaining that Amuna isn't a "leap into the dark," but a reliance based on intimate knowledge. If you've ever felt like God is silent during your hardest moments, this video will explain the "divine evolution" required to step into your power.

Key Moments in This Video:

0:00 – Introduction: The Mystery of "Chamushim"

4:15 – Does God Know the Future? (The Soliloquy of God)

8:30 – Why God Craves Intimacy: The "Adam & Eve" Connection

15:45 – The Red Sea: Why Prayer Wasn't Enough

22:10 – What is Faith? (Redefining Amuna)

28:30 – Masculine vs. Feminine Song: The Secret of Miriam’s Tambourine

35:00 – The Manna: Finding the "Man" in the Miracle

42:15 – Amalek: The Spiritual Root of Anti-Semitism

On the Alshech's Yortzeit, I Received a Message... After morning prayers in the Alshech Shul, I would learn the Alshech’s Torah, just me and him. It was an intimate process that began my close connection with this great sage. Then, on Erev Pesach 2023, at 2 AM, I received a clear message: open a center of learning here, at the Alshech Shul, for the English-speaking communities around the world. I later realized that very night was the Alshech’s Yortzeit. That realization still gives me the chills! This Academy is not just a project; it is a response to a divine call. I humbly ask you to join me in answering it.
