    We will be looking at the  two major songs of the Torah - Shirat HaYam- the Song at the Sea, and Shirat Haazinu - the song of dire warnings before Moshe's death. These songs are strikingly different - from their respective literary tones to the way they are recorded on the parchment of the Torah scrolls, and yet each of them are viewed as a national anthem of Am Yisrael.   Somehow, these songs are intriguingly linked. We explore how each song represents a different situation and paradigm, and a important aspect of the relationship between God and His nation.

    What happened to the "three - day festival?" Contrary to what might be expected when seeing the title, this shiur is not about the "three-day yom-tov" phenomenon.  Rather, we will address the issue of the three day festival that was the premise of Yetziat Mitzrayim (the Exodus from Egypt). Moshe asked Pharaoh for permission to take the Israelites to worship God for three days in the wilderness. Do the Israelites actually do this? As we explore this topic, we also must ask what sort of literature the Torah is, and why the Song of the Sea is not found in the Book of Tehillim (Psalms).

In this video, Rabbi Fohrman explores a famous midrash about the birth of Moses and explains what it means to truly have faith.

    Dr. Yael Ziegler | 43 minutes

    This podcast discusses Shirat Hayam, the song which Bnei Yisrael sang as a praise to God following the miracle of the splitting of the sea.
