Parashas Beshalach

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Beshalach.
In this Parsha, our people have left Egypt,and HaShem Heads us toward the Yam Suf,Taking a round about way instead of Going Straight.HaShem specifically did not Lead the people toward the land of the Plishtim,for HaShem Knew a war with them might cause the people to turn back toward Egypt, fearing war with the Philistines.
Moshe took the Bones of Yosef as Yosef had adjured the Children of Israel, to bring his bones up from Egypt to Canaan , when the time came for us to leave Mitzrayim.
HaShem doesn't directly say that He Turned us away from the Plishtim,in case we feared them.
HaShem used the words 'Ki Karov Hu,' - 'Because it was near. ' What is meant by that. Before this, Avraham had made a pact with Avimelech of the Plishtim in Avraham's day, this stating that neither Avraham nor Avimelech,would deal harshly with each other to do the other harm.This agreement went to their children and children's children and one of the grand-children of Avimelech was still alive at the time of the Exodus and thus the time was 'Ki Karov Hu,' - ' too near ,' for the terms of this previous agreement.The pact was made between Avraham's and Avimelech' offspring ( Bereishis 21:22 ) and , as I just wrote,a grand-child of Avimelech was still alive,so this agreement was still in force at the time of the Exodus and thus HaShem felt it was 'Ki Karov Hu,' -still too ,Near/Close. So for that reason and also so that the people shouldn't fear and return to Egypt, HaShem led the people away from the Plishtim and toward the Yam Suf.
HaShem Sent with us a Pillar of Cloud by Day and a Pillar of Fire at Night.
Pharaoh hoped that our people would return after the three days we originally requested, but we did not return and seeing that Pharaoh had sent spies from Egypt, along with the Children of Israel, and these spies returned back to Egypt telling Pharaoh that our people were not coming back,Pharaoh took six hundred Chariots elite, to pursue us.
When Pharaoh reached our position, he noticed that we were at the Yam Suf and near the baal-zephon statue idol of baal .Pharaoh wrongly assumed that it was because of this idol, that we were now trapped , unable to go any further.
How wrong he was.HaShem Planned it this way.
HaShem blew a strong East Wind all night and the Yam Suf split for us to walk through on dry land.It was Nachshon Ben Amminadav, who became the leader of the Tribe of Yehudah, who took the first step into the Yam Suf in faith of HaShem and then the Yam Suf Split,
There were so many Miracles of HaShem within the Miracle of the Yam Suf Splitting, like even though there was Water before,on the Sea Floor, when we walked through, the bottom was dry and hard and so we could stand on it.
Even the Splitting of the Sea had many miracles,like the Sea didn't just split in half, but split into twelve pathways in its midst, for the Twelve Tribes of Israel to walk through it in their own pathway.
The walls between each pathway was also miraculous, for, each tribe could see through the wall of water, to the tribe next to it,so each tribe would give the other comfort. Also, all we needed to do to drink a bit of sweet water, was to just reach out our hand into the wall of water, and sweet tasting water would be there to drink and then the wall would return as before, when we had had our fill.
The very punishment of the Egyptians as they stepped into the opening pathways of the Yam Suf, was also filled with Miracles, for each Egyptian that passed on, as the water came back on them, suffered and died, by the exact same measure, they had hurt us Jews.At the same time in a similar spot where one of our Jewish people was going through the pathway of the Yam Suf, an Egyptian would be caught in the Water down-surge at the same moment in time. There were so many miracles here at the Yam Suf, that the remaining Pharaoh , who was the only one to survive, had to acknowledge now, that our G-D is G-D . Pharaoh never returned home, but ended up becoming the king of Nineveh, where Yonah was sent to proclaim they repent and this time,he listened.
After HaShem saved us at the Yam Suf, we sang a song to HaShem and then Miriam and the women ,went forth with dances and timbrels.
The angels too, wanted to sing Shira , at the punishment of the Egyptians , who were killed and who were now thrown out of the Sea, but HaShem Silenced them and Said, 'How can you sing at a time that My children are dying,' for all people , are HaShem's Children , and HaShem Wants all people to Follow Him and be good.We Jews as the one's saved were permitted to sing Shira to acknowledge HaShem's Miracles at the Yam Suf.
After the miracle,our people hesitated to leave the banks of the Yam Suf where this miracle took place, so as Torah says, Moshe had to cause them to journey., to the Wilderness of Shur, for a three day period in the Wilderness, but they did not find water, so the people started to panic and begged for water and the place was called Marah (which means 'Bitter' ), for , the Torah states directly , that 'they' were bitter,in other words, how we feel,positive or negative, is how we see the World around us.
HaShem showed Moshe a tree , which he threw into the water and it became sweet. HaShem Adjures us to listen to Him.
The people arrived at Elim , where there were twelve springs and seventy date palms and lots of water. The twelve springs represented the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and the Seventy Date Palms , represented the Seventy Nations in the World.
The Children of Israel then arrived at the Wilderness of Sin , where HaShem Gave us the Manna, between two layers of dew, one above it and one below it,prepared for us with love every day, one portion every day and two on the Sixth Day for Shabbos, for on Shabbos we were not to go and pick up the Manna.The Manna tasted like anything we might imagine at the time of eating this Holy food.The holier the soul eating it, the sweeter was its taste without the need of having to make any form of preparation with it. We commemorate this, with the two Challahs on Shabbos, surrounded by a cloth above and below, like the layers of dew that was above and below the Manna .
The people asked what this Manna was, saying ' Man Hu,'- ' What is this ' and so we called it Mann or Manna, an Omer a portion per person.HaShem Instructed that an Omer full of Manna should also be put away for safe-keeping for our generations near the Ark of the Testimony to be built, so we might see what we ate on the way toward Israel. We ate the Manna the full period that we were in the Wilderness,until we arrived at the border of the land of Canaan.
We journeyed and came to Rephidim , where there was no water and again , the people begged for water. HaShem Instructed Moshe to strike the Rock here for water to come out. The place , Moshe named Massah U' Meriva.
The Parsha ends where Amalek went out to battle us in Rephidim. Moshe chose Yehoshuah to go battle Amalek, while Moshe , Aharon and Hur ascended to the top of the hill.When Moshe raised his hands, Israel was stronger and when Moshe lowered his hands, Amalek was stronger.Moshe's hands grew heavy, so they took a stone on which Moshe sat and Aharon and Hur supported his hands on either side and Moshe remained like this in faithful prayer till the sun set.Yehoshuah overcome Amalek with HaShem's Help and HaShem had us remember that we were to erase the memory of Amalek from under Heaven, for HaShem Maintains a war with Amalek from generation to generation.
This Parsha is called Parashas Beshalach, in reference to when Pharaoh 'Beshalach,' - ' Sent ' us out of Egypt.Even though it was Pharaoh who physically sent us out of Egypt, it was really HaShem Who sent us out of Egypt and freed us, so it was HaShem Who 'Beshalach ' - 'Sent ' us out.This sending out and freeing us, was an act of Redemption,like a redemption of an ideal of Mashiach's time. We see this in the word Beshalach, which in Gematriah is 2+300+30+8=340 and 3+4+0 = 7 , the Gematrical value of Mashiach.Before the word Beshalach, is the word 'Vayehi,' where the 'Ve' is 'And ,' and the 'Yehi,' is like the Name HaShem Calls Himself when He Spoke to Moshe at the Burning Bush, thus hidden deeply in these words that start out this Parsha, is the deep words, of ' And HaShem Sent Pharaoh to send 'Et Ha'Am' the people .'The verse continues ,' Ve' Lo Nacham Elokim Derech Eretz,' which can also mean, ' And to him (Israel), Elokim Comforts us if we keep to the path of Right.'
HaShem Is All. In every action, HaShem is there, wanting us to learn and grow. We are never alone, no matter how we feel sometimes and HaShem is always there to 'Nacham' - ' Comfort us, and Help lead us on the path of Derech Eretz and the Righteous Path. HaShem never deserts us and is behind every loving good action that comes our way and when things seem hard, HaShem Wants us to learn and grow , and Sends us to all kinds of Holy tests , to help us reach closer to Him and become more holy.
We wake up every morning and HaShem has us say Modeh Ani and 'Beshalach,' - ' Sends us out ' into His Creation , to 'Nacham'- 'Comfort ' it by bringing His Light into every corner of it.
The Children of Israel were surrounded by a Pillar of Cloud in the Day and a Pillar of Fire in the Night and gave every day our need of sustenance. So must we have the faith that HaShem Will Provide every day's need and Watch over us and Comfort us always. 
'Vayehi BeShalach,' - ' It happened , by HaShem ', that we were sent out ,always watched over by HaShem . HaShem is responsible for every minute life form and its movement, for if HaShem for one instant, would stop thinking of Creation and every part of it, it would cease to exist.So HaShem always must Think of Creation and every part of it , so it can continue to exist , so great is His Love.
Every part and place we find ourselves in, we are 'Beshalach' - ' Sent ' there for a reason, to bring His Light into that place.We must thus make ourselves worthy to be His messengers,by learning His Wishes and His Laws and being the very being of that Law, so as to make that moment in time we are in, a Light of His Wish.Thus, to be always ready to perform His Task, we must be learned in His Laws and so, be His true Messenger in the bringing of every part of Creation, we are a part of,to know His Holy Light. 
May HaShem let us always be His beloved messengers always , sending us out into Creation to promote His Light and Love.
Even when we feel we are sent on a path that does not appear to be direct, as happened with our ancestors , in the beginning of this Shabbos Parsha, we need to trust that HaShem Knows all and Knows best and there is a reason for the path HaShem chooses for us, so we must learn to trust Him totally , knowing with HaShem, all will be Good always.
With Love to HaShem, I wish HaShem with Love,a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with Love and to all, a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love.
