Tambourines of Redemption: The Secret War of Miriam and the Women - BESHALACH
Description
We'll focus on the two pesukim which detail the ladies playing musical instruments, singing and dancing and explore the spiritual power of their actions against the strongest of negative forces in the world and based on the Shelah HaKadosh, how we in our lives can battle and overcome those forces as well.
This class is based primarily on the explanations of the Shvilei Pinchas
וַתִּקַּח֩
מִרְיָ֨ם הַנְּבִיאָ֜ה אֲח֧וֹת אַהֲרֹ֛ן אֶת־הַתֹּ֖ף בְּיָדָ֑הּ וַתֵּצֶ֤אןָ
כׇֽל־הַנָּשִׁים֙ אַחֲרֶ֔יהָ בְּתֻפִּ֖ים וּבִמְחֹלֹֽת׃
Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, picked up a hand-drum, and all the women went out after her in dance with hand-drums.
וַתַּ֥עַן לָהֶ֖ם מִרְיָ֑ם
שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽה֙
כִּֽי־גָאֹ֣ה גָּאָ֔ה ס֥וּס וְרֹכְב֖וֹ רָמָ֥ה
בַיָּֽם׃
And Miriam chanted for them: Sing to HASHEM for He has triumphed gloriously; Horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.
