     Does the Baal HaTanya mean that the Bnei Yisroel went into the Yam Suf and at some poinr turned around and went out the same side they went in?

    The hidden world of the sea was revealed

    So too, the hidden supernal worlds were revealed as Hashem gave the 10 commandments.

    Bittul can be pronounced several ways

    Someone pointed out to R. Shais Taub that one pronunciation can be:

    Be. Tool.    Be a tool. Be a tool in Hashem's hands. Like Avraham being a chariot.

    If I am not connected and attached I can't truly be me

    Because I am only half a neshoma. 

    On the other hand, to be connected and attached I must FIRST truly and completely be my half.

    Only when both halves are first their true and complete half can they, together, re-create the complete whole they were before they were split (like the sea). 

    All of creation seems to be unified, then split and differentiated, and the job is to re-unify and re-attach those separated parts. Same for all "sparks". 

    Hashem took the unified  puzzle of His world, broke up the pieces and left it to us to put it back together.

    Hashem could have fashioned the miracle any way

    He could have had the yidden walk or swim  through the actual water.  Like a fish. 

    He didn't. 

    The yidden walked on dry land in the midst of the sea with walls of water on either side.

    Surely there is a significance in this. We didn't actually go through the (wet) water, we walked through dry land in the midst of the water. The water pulled back
