TORAH PORTION

B'shalach

Now When [Pharaoh] Let [the People] Go

Now when Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although it was nearer; for God said, "The people may have a change of heart when they see war, and return to Egypt." - Exodus 13:17

SUMMARY

The Children of Israel escape across the Sea of Reeds from Pharaoh and his army, who drown when God drives back the sea. (13:17-14:31)

Moses and the Israelites sing a song praising Adonai. (15:1-21)

In the wilderness, God provides the grumbling Israelites with quails and manna. God instructs the Israelites to gather and prepare on the sixth day food needed for Shabbat. (15:22-16:36)

The people complain about the lack of water. Moses hits a rock with his rod and brings forth water. (17:1-7)

Israel defeats Amalek, Israel's eternal enemy. God vows to blot out the memory of Amalek from the world. (17:8-16) https://reformjudaism.org/torah/portion/bshalach

Stormy K.

I love snuggling, chewing on my rope toy, and going on

walks. I am putty in your hands if you give me a belly rub,

and my super power is that I know how to roll

(when properly “motivated”, of course!)

Roxy G.

I'm a great 14 year old terrier rescue.

I share the house with two cats now,

but I’m not happy about it.

Chewbacca Segal

aka Chewie

I am such a good boy.

I love my snacks and walks.

I am also a terrific "watch doggie"

Moonshine C.

aka Moonie, Moonita, Muna Tuna Buna, etc.

I’m daddy’s little girl and mama’s pretty princess;

show me some love and I’ll show you my belly.

"There no strangers, only friends I haven’t met."

Jordy Tuman

I'm a lovable 8 year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier

named after Green Bay Packer HOF-er # 87 Jordy Nelson, but I’m no athlete... I can’t catch and will only run when forced to.

I do love to go on walks, especially on the beach or in the park.

I think I like to go on car rides, at least until I’m actually on one. AND I can open car windows and turn on the bathroom faucet so I can drink fresh water. I have an IG account with more than 1500 followers but my assistant has slacked

recently so there’s mostly old content.

To showcase your amazing family pets, email a brief bio

and photo to communications@mynertamid.org to

be featured in an upcoming issue of Chai Lights.
