Why the sea split only for people with discipline | Rabbi Eliyahu Maksumov

Let's make a deal. If you like what I'm about to say, leave a like. So, listen to this incredible thought. We're called Jews. Where does this word come from? In Hebrew, it's what does even mean? So, the Midrash tells us it's really a contraction of two words. If comes from the word ever, the splitting of the sea. We are a nation that God has split the sea for. And so, we are named after this that God has split the sea for us. Now, this is an experience that happened to us. But why is it an experience that defines us? Why are we called after this that God has split the sea for us? I mean look throughout history God has done a lot for his people. Why is it that out of everything we go after this name of every yam the splitting of the sea? So to understand this I want to ask the following question. Why did the sea even split in the first place? So the says something incredible. It says [music] that Ysef Sadi before he passed away, he told his brothers that they have to promise to him that they're going to make sure to take his body out of Egypt on their way out of Egypt. When the Jews are going to be leaving in a haste, they might forget Ysef behind. So Ysef says, "You have to promise to me that you're going to take my body with you." [music] And so comes a day everyone's leaving Egypt and suddenly Moshe remembers, "We have to take the bones of Ysef." He finds the casket of Ysef. He places it on his shoulder. And as they're leaving, suddenly the sea sees and it splits. What did it see? And the tells us it saw the atmospher and he did not come to assimilate. The sea says in that merit I will split. Now this means that because of Ysef the sea split because he [music] split. But what is what's the death behind this? What is this coming to teach us? Just because he split and he has to split. Maybe something else should split. So maybe we could ask one more question. You ever wondered why Moshe is named Moshe? I mean Moshe had many names. The Midrash tells [music] us he had 10 names. Why is it Moshe? And the rabbis explained the following. Because ba when she saw him in the water she drew him out. Moshe comes from the word which means to draw out. He was drawn out of the water says the moral prague. There's something interesting about water. While everything else in the world has a form, it [music] has a shape. It has structure. It has discipline. Water has no discipline. It's all over all over the place. It's chaotic. Water has no discipline. Moshe is somebody who resembles disciplines. He's somebody who has self-control. He's able to take control over his inclination and that is what makes Moshe special. This is the greatest compliment to Moshe. Now does he sees Moshe coming? What does he see? He see he sees Ysef. What's so special about Ysef? Ysef is somebody who's the anti-water. He's able to have self-control. And the Yam says in the merit of these two Ysef and Moshe I'm going to split. Now take a [music] look at those first two letters. Yseph is a Y. Moshe is a Yam [music] because of these great the split. And so we're called because every yam we have to live up to our expectations. [music] Hashem expects us to have a form. Hashem expects us to have a discipline. And if we learn to have that discipline then will Hashem split the way for us and bring our ultimate salvation. Brashia very soon. And may we see the goula very very imittatly.
