MAGNIFICENT MOMENTS

[20a middle] Gemarah: [Exodus: Perek15,Pasuk1] “Ze Keili Ve’anveihu” is the source for beautifying Mitzvos [and this takes place even before the actual Torah was given!].
R’ Rosner: This concept is really an attitude/mentality that we want to use when serving Hashem. We were so awestruck after witnessing all the amazing plagues and then the splitting of the sea that we wanted to make sure to channel all of our enthusiasm into the performance of serving G-d with tremendous thanks and appreciation.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Whenever we are blessed with bursts of inspiration in life, we are tasked with taking all of that energy and running with it. We should never let magnificent moments pass us by and not let fervor fade away. If we grab hold of excitement while it is hot, we can actualize change and commitments that will last a lifetime.
