Miriam's Tambourine
The righteous women did not delegate their responsibilities to their leader, Miriam the prophetess. Rather, each and every woman made for herself a tambourine, in a personal effort to trust in G-d's redemption and rejoice in it when it comes.
There is always a temptation to leave the responsibility of inspiring the people to Jewish leaders. However, we can learn from the righteous women in Egypt that it is every single person's obligation to inspire his or herself and all of the people that he or she comes into contact with.

Parshat HaMon
Art: Heidi Malott |
Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Riminov [1745-1815], a disciple of the Holy Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk, instructed everyone to read "Parshat HaMann" specifically on the Yom Shlishi [Tuesday] of Parshat Beshalach in the "Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum" format, i.e. reading the Hebrew verses twice and the Aramaic translation of Onkelos once. This year it will occur today Tuesday 26 January.
Not to be confused with the evil villain of the Purim story, Parshat haMann [The Chapter of the Manna] is found in the 16th Chapter of the Book of Exodus: verses 4-36. This Chapter details the episode of the miraculous "Manna" [bread from heaven] that sustained the Children of Israel during their 40-year journey in the desert.

Trust in Hashem
It's a relief that all the waiting is over now. Now we can get back to the normality of trusting Hashem above all else. And in that vein, this new video from Rabbi Zitron seems appropriate: "What Happens if you trust in people vs Hashem". I guess this is what it's all about. We cannot put our faith in one person. Not that we abandoned Hashem, chas v'shalom, we just thought Hashem was using Trump to get to a certain place. Seems we got it wrong. What happens next.... I do not know. Speak your mind in the comments if you need to vent some steam.

Trump's New Video
Like you, I have no idea what is actually going on. Apparently this is a new video released on Trump's new social media platform. Why it is available on You Tube, I do not know. Nevertheless, here it is, for what it's worth. Apologies for the Xtian prayer at the end, but you get the drift.... skip the last minute if you don't want to hear it.
Update: this is just a video someone has spliced together. Trump's official words can be found at the new social media platform link above.

Stormy Times
This photo was taken a couple of nights ago, during a huge storm. We have had so much rain lately, a total opposite to this time last year when we had massive bushfires. Israel is wondering where it's winter has gone.... and Sydney is wondering where it's summer has gone.... I guess we've swapped seasons this year.
I don't know what will happen in America, whether there will be a last minute V' nahafoch hu, or whether we are really stuck with Biden. Whatever the case, Hashem has a Plan and we must trust that it's all from Shamayim.
I read that Donald Trump is not only banned from Twitter but also banned from FB, he's in good company as so is this blog.
