The Song of Joy After the miraculous splitting of the Red Sea, Moshe and Klal Yisrael, sang a beautiful song of thanksgiving. HaShem revealed Himself so clearly at the sea that the awe of HaShem's majesty filled their hearts with perfect faith. This elevated state of consciousness uplifted them to a state of prophecy, inspiring them to sing so joyfully to HaShem. Lesson: HaShem's miraculous parting of the sea was accompanied with the gift of prophecy which awakened in the hearts of the entire Klal Yisrael. The great kindness of HaShem and the awareness of His awesome majesty imbued the Children of Israel with perfect faith in HaShem -- inspiring them with spiritual elevation and joyous song. Visualization: Envision yourself standing at the shore of the Red Sea. The deep waters before you and the Egyptians charging from behind. Suddenly, the sea parts before you, making a passageway for your escape. You and the entire nation walk across the dry sea bed. Sense the holiness and goodness of HaShem surround you -- filling your heart with perfect faith. Join Klal Yisrael in a joyful, prophetic song of thanksgiving to HaShem.
