Get StartedAre We An Ungrateful Nation?
What The Israelites Really Complained About
In Parshat Beshalach we're introduced to a nation of whiners and complainers. After years of slavery, the Israelites are finally a free nation! The next thing we should be reading is a love story between God and His people. But the honeymoon phase ends before it even begins.
How could the Israelites complain so much in the wilderness after God just freed them from slavery? How did they lose faith in God so quickly?
In this video, we explore what the Israelites really complained about, and how complaining impacted their relationship with God – but not in the way you think.
