3 DAYS
It was 3 days without water from Yam Suf to Marah. Water is mayim and we have an idea that Torah is mayim chayim - the waters of life. Thus to symbolise that we should never be too far from reading Torah, in these times we do not go more than 3 days when reading the Torah - Monday-Thursday-Shabbat. Always making sure that Torah is part of a regimen.
LIFE IS THE JOURNEY
No matter where they stopped and who was chasing them, the lesson is clear... it is not about the destination, it is about the journey... and in all this, God.
The fall to Egypt
Coming face to face with reality
Realisation that God's work is in everything, never forget.
Living in paradise turns into slavery
How hard it is to extricate yourself from your comfort zone
The upheavals required in your life to make the change
Celebrating the change
Change can occur in the middle of the night
The people who set you up as your owners pursue you
Fire at night to help you
Clouds in the day to protect you
Driven to the precipice and needing Emunah for that leap of faith
Taking the leap and realising hope is not lost
Crossing the great rift
With faith, your troubles drown in their own superficiality behind you
Once you cross, just remember there can be strife on the other side.
You need reminders to push forward and defeat unwarranted poor conduct.
WIth a journey you can reach the Mountain of God
The mountain of God is nothing without bringing inside everything you have just learnt.
There are always people to help and assist you.
Build your foundations, and overcome external noises, for a prosperous future.
