Our Journeys through Life

The Jewish People took 42 different journeys during the 40 years of wandering through the desert. In today’s class we will see how each of the 42 journeys are meant to be replicated by each of us throughout our lives. Leaving Egypt is symbolic of the birth of every person. Afterwards, our lives are not meant to be one long, continuous trek — but should comprise discrete journeys. Each journey should be a completely new, meaningful and significant leap forward from one place to the next, higher place - until every one of us reaches the same destination, the supernal Holy Land.
