Ep 19. Parshat Beha’alotecha: Is it the Beginning of the End?

Parsha Lab from Aleph Beta

In Parshat Beha’alotecha we complete the Mishkan story that started in the middle of Exodus and is completed all the way into this portion of Bamidbar. Finally, the children of Israel are ready to embark on their journey to the Holy Land with the Mishkan - God’s dwelling place - by their side. But their journey quickly takes a turn for the worse as the saga of the desert experience begins to fester with complaints, regrets, and slander. Is this the beginning of the end? What will become of the Israelite’s journey? Join Ami and Rivky as they study the shifting dynamics of the desert story — and never read Beha’alotecha the same way again.
