Shabbat Shirah: The Sabbath of Song
The Torah portion of B'Shalach is also called Shabbat Shirah because this portion also includes the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15:1-10), which commemorates the dividing of the Red Sea.
Tradition teaches that Miriam, the sister of Moses, lead the Israelite women in song and dance, after Moses led the men in singing the Song of the Sea.
