1 Nissan: The Long Journey
THE LONG JOURNEY
These are the journeys of the children of Israel going out of the land of Egypt.... (Bamidbar 33:1)
It would seem that there was only one journey which took the Jewish nation out of Egypt. Yet, the Torah describes the Exodus as many journeys because we must continually grow and achieve greater and greater levels of liberation. The Redemption is a process. It began with the Exodus from Egypt and will be completed with the Final Redemption. We now stand somewhere in this process. By learning about the Redemption, we learn where we stand and, most importantly, the next step that we must take in these many “journeys” towards the time of Moshiach.
