CLD #566



For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Kriyat Yam Suf is the splitting of the Red Sea. What happened behind the story itself? As we know, Am Yisrael was traveling for Six full days after leaving Egypt until they reached Yam Suf (the Red Sea). After the third day Pharoah realized Am Yisrael was not returning to do the slavery work needed for the country, so he took 600 of his most fine soldiers with their chariots and went out to chase the nation!

Am Yisrael on the sixth day saw Pharoah with his entire army chasing them. Unfortunately, Hashem is a billion times stronger than any army in the world, even Tzahal (may we be successful in all our missions)! Hashem had a huge blazing cloud of Fire behind Am Yisrael that would keep the Egyptians away from His holy children, Yisrael.

Right before the splitting of the sea, Am Yisrael had no choice but to dive into the water. Egypt was behind them and there was no turning back. But how come they succeeded? They believed.

They believed in Hashem that He can save no matter what situation they are in. Considering the fact that Am Yisrael was on the 49th level of Tumah (impurity), this already shows Hashem’s greatness in bringing back someone from the lowest of the low! The same goes for us. We need to believe in our Tefillah (prayer) that Hashem could help us and even if we do not think we need help, that Hashem can raise us higher in Kedusha (purity) and Simcha (happiness). Be’ezrat Hashem Kriyat Yam Suf is a sign for us to work on our Emunah and literally tell ourselves out loud: Hashem controls the world, not me, not the army, and definitely not any university, college or government.

SHABBAT SHALOM & CHAG KASHER VE SAMEACH!
