B’Shalach 5779 – Cherishing the Gift of Shabbat

Posted by Levi Cooper on January 13, 2019
Topics: Pardes from Jerusalem, Torah, Shemot (Exodus), Beshalach

After miraculously escaping slavery in Egypt, the Israelites reached the desert and complained that they had nothing to eat. The Almighty gave them the magical manna to sustain them, with a double portion on Friday. The Israelites are told to “see” what has been given to them (Exodus 16:29). The Maggid of Melbourne discusses this gift, and how it is revered in Jewish Law by Tosefet Shabbat--the practice of extending the holy day beyond its time boundaries.
