The Secret of Splitting the Sea: When Action Must Precede Prayer
From the holy center in Morocco, HaAdmor Rabbi Yoshiahu Pinto Shlita delivers a profound lesson on Parshat Beshalach.
When the Israelites stood trapped at the Red Sea—with the Egyptians behind them and the desert surrounding them—they cried out to God. Yet, Hashem’s response to Moses was shocking: “Why do you cry out to Me? Speak to the people and let them move forward.”
Why would God reject prayer during a time of such distress, especially when Maimonides rules that crying out in trouble is a Torah obligation?
In this Shiur, Rabbi Pinto explains:
The deep teaching of the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh: How the “Attribute of Judgment” (Middat HaDin) can block even the holiest prayers.
The Accuser: Why the Angel of Egypt argued against saving the Israelites.
The Solution: Why doing an act of kindness or Tzedakah (Charity) before praying is the key to shattering harsh decrees.
Faith vs. Trust: The difference between Emunah (believing it can happen) and Bitachon (certainty that it will happen).
