on Shirat haYam, the Song of the Sea, from
beShalach
Aaron provides the following introduction:
In the Torah narrative of the Passover story, after our foremothers
and forefathers left Egypt, they miraculously crossed the Sea of
Reeds on foot. Pharaoh's cavalry pursued, but they were drowned in
their attempt. On the far shore, the prophet Miriam led the Hebrew
people in a song of deliverance. This song is recorded in the Torah
as Shirat HaYam, the Song of the Sea. It is traditionally recited
in the synagogue on Shabbat Shirah, the Sabbath of Song. At this
year's Shabbat Shirah (1/19/08), Keddem service leader Elaine Moise
taught the congregation some new, unique and beautiful melodies.
Keddem member Aaron Schuman presented as a dvar Torah (a word of
Torah) this original interpretation of the Song of the Sea.
