Beshalach- Jumping Into the Cold Water
One of the greatest miracles that occurred to the Children of Israel when they left Egypt was the miracle of the splitting of the Red Sea. This miracle happened thanks to Nachshon ben Aminadab, who saw the people trapped between the Egyptians and the sea, and then sacrificed himself and jumped into the water. Following him, others came, and then the red sea was split, allowing the people to cross on dry land within the sea.
Nachshon's action to jump into the sea was questionable from the Torah perspective. The principle of the sanctity of human life is a central value. Regarding a Ben Noach, there is no permission for one to throw himself to the sea as this is considered suicide. Even if a person is in great distress, there is an obligation to preserve life as every minute in this world of action is precious. Furthermore, Nachshon…

Bo- The Abolition of Idolatry
This week's Torah portion tells of the special commandment that the Israelites received on the eve of their exodus from Egypt: Each family was commanded to take a lamb home on the tenth of the Jewish month of Nisan, to keep the lamb at home for four days, and on the fourteenth of Nisan to slaughter it for the 'Passover sacrifice.' The lamb was one of the Egyptian idols. Could the Jew tell his Egyptian neighbor that he was keeping the lamb in his house for 4 days just in order to slaughter it for a sacrifice?
The lamb was an Egyptian false idol. Its slaughter was to demonstrate the disregard for idolatry in front of everyone. All the Egyptian neighbors came and asked why they were keeping the lamb at home and what they were planning to do with it. The answer was that the lamb will be…

Thank you very much for posting this summary of your thoughts, Rabbi Moshe Bernstein. Since you've mentioned getting rid of idolatry in the world, I wanted to share that my wife explained to me yesterday that reducing one's freedom in the things that one is not permitted will increase one's freedom in the things that one is permitted, which I found a good teaching. It is along the line of the sages' saying that a little bit of arousal from below will generate an even greater arousal from above. Furthermore, I would like to recommend your book, "Light Onto the Torah Portions: Insights on the Torah portions and holidays for Noahides". I've got your book, "Light Onto the Torah Portions: Insights on the Torah portions and holidays for Noahides", as a Channukah present for my wife ( https://www.amazon.com/Light-Onto-Torah-Portions-Insights/dp/B0DJ2M3592/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XPYZGY56BU0H&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FetkLQRGpTtW_1mKJQxpOQ.G8tmaGbrncpNJJgWzw0KrYieYrk6r8op5xdcPojE0h8&dib_tag=se&keywords=B0DJ2M3592&qid=1738228412&sprefix=%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-1). So I'm very interested to see what your thoughts were in the book, and now that I've got the new edition I am obviously also very curious to see what you've written in the old edition (https://www.amazon.de/Light-Onto-Nations-Guide-Noahide/dp/9659222211/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=6L5IW0B8SDCM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.F3g9sNCmuf3rTK-k70fzKzBfdpOZ-snKD1x_af9uBXhpdgglB6TlcUdPmNHNJVXvqZsN63_4FfCRmVAAafGrSI-H5rA8rvgw0QM53nJzBdjvWPmyByPPNP-QZ5o2XcwEnmLajBfz7kRyrupmj5dacEX45PrKiePxEIa5gWyey3wMmV6KK7_aaBQuM8RsPV8lYZOGy-WGr0fgRAlgM0KTPWM2S42zytypoNu-EQwy4wc.kHuWCmnG08ei5IZapNsFnK6UI4FG9NYps2mfrycAy48&dib_tag=se&keywords=rabbi+moshe+bernstein&qid=1738228379&sprefix=rabbi+moshe+berenstein%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-2).
