Description

On four separate occasions in Parshat Beshalach, the Jews need to ask Gd for help with a basic need - survival at the Sea, water, food and the war with Amalek. Granted that the first case may be unique, why does Hashem wait for us to ask in the other three cases? A lesson in tefillah and emunah.
