Beshalach: Turning FFBs Into BTs

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

And it was when parro sent out the nation and God did not want to guide them the road of the land of the Philistines because it was close. Now that's odd.
