💡 Think:
When the Torah lists the forty-two journeys and encampments of the Jewish people on their way to Israel, it refers to them collectively as the Exodus from Egypt.
Yet, seemingly, only the first encampment was the Exodus - all subsequent journeys were already outside of Egypt.
In Hebrew, Egypt is called Mitzrayim, a name related to the word for boundaries.
The exodus from Egypt is the journey from our own inner Egypt, our self-imposed limitations and constraints. It’s the journey away from our egos and our inner sense of entitlement to the sublime Holy Land within.
That journey, then, is one that isn’t accomplished in a single leap. Yes we can leave those boundaries behind, but the new heights we strive for today become the limitation and constraints that tie us down tomorrow.
Every day we must journey again from today’s sense of limitation to tomorrows state of possibilities and growth.
Throughout our lives, we’re constantly journeying deeper into ourselves, peeling back the layers of the onion, until we reach our inner Zion.
