Good morning, and welcome. Today we explore the profound message in this Chumash portion, where the Jewish people sing the as Yashir, a song of praise after witnessing the miraculous splitting of the sea. This moment underscores the power of faith and gratitude. As Moshe extends his hand over the sea, the waters return and engulf the Egyptians, illustrating the triumph of justice. The Torah highlights that the Jewish people did not simply witness this event; they felt the might of God and understood their liberation was divinely orchestrated.

In this song, Moshe’s future tense declaration of singing symbolizes an eternal connection to faith and redemption, hinting at a future messianic age where all righteous leaders will sing again. The women, led by Miriam, also join in, showcasing their unique faith and strength. As they journey into the wilderness, they encounter challenges but are reminded of the importance of obedience to God’s commandments for their well-being. This portion beautifully encapsulates the journey from oppression to freedom, emphasizing trust in divine providence.
