Episode Synopsis "A Closer Look at the Bitter Waters of Marah"

In episode one, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu discovered references in Refa’einu to two Biblical stories that appear at the very end of the redemption from Egypt: the story of the splitting of the sea, and the story that comes right after this: the bitter waters of marah. In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu dive even deeper into these two events, to discover why Chazal turned to them for guidance when writing Refa’einu. On the surface, neither event has very much to do with health or healing. However, if we take a much closer look--and carefully examine all the clues the text leaves for us--a very different picture emerges.
