In Parshat B’shalach, the Israelites find themselves caught between liberation and terror — having just left Egypt, only to be pursued, frightened, and unsure whether freedom was a mistake.
In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, we explore the fragile space where prayer turns into protest, where faith wavers under pressure, and where crying out to God coexists with anger, doubt, and complaint.
Drawing on a teaching from the Ramban and Hasidic insights on consciousness and orientation, this class asks a central spiritual question: What draws us into relationship with God — and what allows us to stay when the answers don’t come quickly?
Through the lens of B’shalach, Amalek, and Moshe’s raised arms, we reflect on faith not as certainty, but as an ongoing act of turning — again and again — toward presence, even in fear.

Deepen with Ohmek:
Ohmek is a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of being.
It is the space that holds all, yet remains empty, the void that allows healing and transformation to take place, take shape, belong, integrate and disperse.
It is an invitation inward, into a space and community, as well as one’s own inner world. A place to be stretched and to come together, to feel at home in exploration, with room to be and to breathe.
At our upstate retreat center and Brooklyn locations, in our sacred gatherings, healing containers and embodied mysticism classes, we invite you into spiritual experiences and sacred spaces that allow us — collectively and individually — to explore our own depths, underneath the underneath.
