The Power of Mesiras Nefesh

The Power of Mesiras Nefesh:

The verse states (Shemos 14:22): “And the children of Yisroel came into the midst of the sea.”

The Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch zy”a said that on the seventh day after the nation left Egypt, as they stood by the banks of the raging sea, Hashem commanded them to enter the water and Nachshon ben Aminadav risked his life and jumped in. A miracle then occurred and the sea split. This power of Nachson’s mesiras nefesh made an impression that affects every generation until today. On the seventh day of Pesach, the power of mesiras nefesh to fulfill Hashem’s will is especially strong in the heart of every Jew.
