What was the wonder of the Exodus?
That an infinite, unbounded light broke its way into a dark, tightly-bounded world.
What will be the wonder of the future, when that light will shine in every corner, perceived by every eye?
That there is a world.
To us, then, there will be no greater wonder.
Thanks for cleaning the windows so we see better where we are today. Reply
A New Wonderful World
We are trapped in a world imprisoned by a powerful force that controls our every action, thought and speech. This force limits me to focus on me. All my actions, thoughts and speech are programmed to be in my favour.
When a spark awakens within that dark world, we feel our oppositeness to the Surrounding Light (Ohr Makif). We feel the terrible sensation of shame when we feel our oppositeness to G_d.
Through this recognition we implement the method of Moses to exit our dark, narrow focused world of the self. Through imagining the sublime G_dly state of belonging on one unified system that is fueled by the quality of G_dliness, we begin to perceive a wonderful new world beyond words!
Let's exit our crumbling world of Egypt!

For me, this is a little hard to understand. I don't think of G-d as been incapable in any way. Therefore, if the "infinite, unbounded Light" refers to G-d, then "It" didn't need to "break It's way into" anything and His world has always been exactly that, His world-not tightly bound for Him. And the wonder of the Exodus seems to be about us -that we were saved. On the other hand, if the "dark, tightly bound world", is my ego, my "I", my upbringing, my limitations, then any learning I do is part of that infinite Light, expanding me. The wonder that there is a world I think will be because it will be a wonder to perceive the diversity within the Unity. I don't think I'm yet able to even comprehend the last sentence though. I'm stuck there. Unless it just means we will have a much deeper sense and understanding, a greater awe and wonder because of all the avodah we have done before. Reply
Lots of thinking, Leah. But, no, “light” doesn’t refer to G‑d Himself. It’s a G‑dly light, meaning that G‑d’s presence is immanently there.
And much more so when this light does the impossible—breaking beyond the boundaries of finite and infinite. That’s when you really feel the unboundedness of G‑d Himself within His light.
Let me know if this helps.

nothing special The greatest and best wonder of Paysach is the matzoh. That's right. The homely, square matzoh.It transports me back to my childhood days, the earliest days of recollection when my mom used to butter a matzoh and then rub it with a cut tsiboleh, an onion. I still recall the taste, the comfort, the wonderful feeling of being at home with my family. Sometimes a bit of chicken schmaltz would be used. It was a priceless treat that not even the most expensive meal in a most expensive restaurant could ever replace, even today. so let's hear a cheer for the matzoh, be it Maneschevitz, Streitz or Horowitz-Margareten, a matzoh that vanished long ago, but still remembered. Hip, hip, hoo-rah. Reply
You’re welcome i can’t see anything it is all foggy. Literally Reply
Revealing Wonder
His Light surrounds us constantly.
We only need to invite the Light within our hearts.
When we connect as one man with one heart, we match His divine quality - then His Light enters the one soul we created together. There he reveals His wonder.
Ultimately, all humanity will connect to this soul we initiated.
Then "All we know Me from the least of them to the greatest".
(least refers to that small initial soul which expands to incorporate the great mass of all humanity)

IS G_D IS. Always present before anything was there IS G_D. Not was, not will be, but IS.
