Beshalach:
Amalek is
Alive
and
Living in
Vienna
In
this week's
Torah
portion, we
meet the
eternal
enemy of the
Jewish
people,
Amalek!
According to
the Torah,
the Hebrews
leave Egypt,
cross
through the
sea and
begin their
trek through
the desert.
It was hot.
The food was
boring.
Everyone was
thirsty.
Worst of
all, they
were
continually
attacked
from the
rear by a
group of
marauders
named
Amalek.
