The Ten Plagues. Dam, Tzfardaya, Kinim.. In English: Blood. Frogs. Lice. Wild Beasts. Pestilence. Boils. Hail. Locusts. Darkness. Slaying of the First-born.
After which, Pharaoh agrees that the Jews can leave Mitzrayim- the narrow place. Only to change his mind, and then chase after the Jews- but gets caught in the waters as they return to their normal condition, having parted for the Jews to cross to the other shore.
Which is exactly what happened on the 7th day. Pharaoh and his minions, having chased after the Jews, thought they had them cornered by the sea. Only to see them traverse the waters.
But, when Pharaoh with his chariots entered the newly formed path, the mud on the bottom restricting their speed- giving the wind enough time to attenuate and let the waters reform and re-amass. Drowning the lot of them.
As soon as the Jews saw this destruction, they immediately broke out in song. The song, Az Yashir, is one which we Jews recite every morning in our prayers. To remember how Hashem saved us and gave us our freedom.
This holiday of Freedom, where we celebrate this release from bondage, is spent with our families and friends, recounting the events in Egypt and our release. As it is the 7th night of Pesach- we are required to cease all work and normal activities. As opposed to the last four days, tonight we are back in full holiday mode.
May you all find release from your narrow places, to the expanse of freedom and the responsibilities that freedom entails.
Thank you for your beautiful, sweet prayer, Roy! I appreciate it. Hope you and your family have a wonderful celebration.
I am thrilled to share it with you, Jeanine!
I love your last line. Thank you for the blessing.

Honored by your comments, Martha!
Roy,
Thank you for sharing your tradition with us. It is so interesting, and I love the video about discovering the remains of the Egyptian army at the bottom of the Red Sea.
God is faithful and I love it when science confirms it.
Blessings,

Glad you enjoyed it, Debi! It’s one of my favorite holidays!
I seriously love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you create this
site yourself? Please reply back as I’m attempting to create my own personal website and would love to know where you
got this from or what the theme is named. Appreciate it!
I’ve been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours.
It is beautiful worth enough for me. In my view,
if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content
as you probably did, the net might be much more helpful
than ever before. Way cool! Some very valid points!
I appreciate you writing this write-up plus the rest of
the website is also really good.
