At the Exodus, the Jewish people left a settled land and entered the desert without provisions, following not the route that appeared naturally secure but G-d's word with absolute trust. What seemed impossible by human calculation became precisely the path to their spiritual and material happiness. So in every generation, living by Torah and Mitzvoth without submitting to the dictates of the environment connects a Jew with the Creator, frees him from natural limitations, and enables him to sanctify every area of life.

For the Jewish people to stand firm despite being the smallest among the nations, all Jews must be united. True unity among very different individuals is possible because every Jewish soul is a part of G-d above; when they stand “before G-d, your G-d,” the unity already present within their souls becomes revealed. The purpose of this unity is not merely togetherness, but to enter jointly into G-d's covenant and consecrate every detail of life to Torah and Mitzvoth.
