The Splitting of the Red Sea

Shabbat Shalom!

This week, we pause from the regular Torah cycle to reflect (a few days early) on the seventh day of Passover, a day dedicated to one of the most awe-inspiring moments in our history—the splitting of the sea.

Why is this miracle given an entire holiday of its own? What does it symbolize beyond dramatic escape? And how could those who witnessed it firsthand—who saw God’s presence so clearly—not be transformed?

We’ll explore the depth of this final act of redemption, the Hasidic tradition of the Messiah’s meal, and how even the greatest miracles can fade if we don’t carry them forward with intention.

Join us as we reflect on the miracles of the past, recognize the presence of God in our lives today, and renew our hope for the redemption still to come.

Watch now for an unforgettable Passover message of faith, memory, and Messianic vision.
