| The fire, water, and desert that accompanied the Jews during their sojourn for forty years, symbolize deep lessons of devotion to G-d, passion for spirituality, and a willing to sacrifice oneself to fulfill G-d's Will. We can incorporate these powerful lessons into our daily lives, to become more passionate, spiritually-focused people. |
