In this episode on Pashat Beshalach and Parshat Shira we discuss Az Yashir, the song that Israel sang at the sea. What was so tremendous about that moment of song? Why does the Midrash claim that God was waiting for this level of song since he created Adam in Gan Eden? What is so lofty about song in general, and how do we reach those heights of song ourselves? We'll get into all that and more!  If you want to follow along in the text, it is Nesiovs Shalom on Shemot page kuf tet vav (115). You can find a pdf of the piece here. This episode is sponsored anonymously for a refuah sheleimah for Sarah bat Tolsa and for general peace in Klal Yisrael. This episode is sponsored anonymously with the following message: "It is with hakarat hatov to Rabbi Charnoff for establishing a women's midrasha at Queens College, which allowed me to continue my classroom Torah learning.
