Parshat Beshalach – 2/4/12 Part 2 – the song

Both recipes for Beshalach are now up in the post below.

I couldn’t resist posting this video of Aryeh Kunstler singing his version of “Az Yashir Moshe.” This Parsha contains the famous song that Moshe and the children of  Israel sing after they’ve witnessed G-d’s parting of the sea and the destruction of the Egyptians. There are so many tunes for these incredibly beautiful words with their powerful image of joy and connection to G-d. This version for me, is the most beautiful, by far.  (First recipe below, the second one is song-related and will be posted tomorrow morning.)

Shemot 15: 1

Then Moshe and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they spoke, saying, I will sing to the Lord, for very exalted is He; a horse and its rider He cast into the sea.
