let's go right into it so good morning um Welcome to our class once again and Susan just reminded me but I should mention that I send out a reminder email most of you get that reminder email every Friday today I forgot I sent it this morning but um but if you want to get that reminder email every week and you're not yet getting it please let me know and I will add you to the email list so this week's paraa is Bash last list so this week's paraa is Bash last week Israel left Egypt so this week they just came out of Egypt they didn't get very far Hashem tells them to turn around and go back they originally going towards the desert M did don't want to take them straight directly to the land of Israel which would go along the Mediterranean Coast because that would be they would go too quickly and he was afraid it' be too easy for them to turn around to go back to Egypt when they get scared when they see battle so he was going to take them through the desert so he takes them towards the desert but he tells to turn around and go back to the tells to turn around and go back to the Red Sea as they go back to the Sea they Camp over there on the sea Pharaoh hears that they are lost in the desert and he decides to chase them and so Israel looks up and they see um Pharaoh is chasing them in the desert there I forgot to mention that when they left Hashem made a pillar of Cloud that led them during the day through the desert and at night um that pillar of cloud turned they had a pillar of fire that would lead them and light up their way
