Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought...

During the funeral for a prominent local rabbi, Mark Golub, his brother noted that Rabbi Golub’s favorite biblical character was Nahshon.  Now, Nahshon is not your household biblical name.  Most people would initially think of Abraham or Jacob or Moses.  Nahshon?  Not so much.



Yet, the story of Nahshon is one of the great tales that occupies more pages of Midrash than, perhaps, the Bible itself.  Nahshon’s narrative takes place during the Exodus, as the Israelites reach the Red Sea.  According to the Midrash, the sea did not automatically part. Thus, you can imagine the scene.  The Israelites face the teeming sea, wailing with despair.  “Why have you done this to us?” they demand of Moses?  “We are about to be slaughtered by Pharaoh's army!”  

Enter Nahshon.  Literally. To read more, click here. . .
