All Good Things Must Come to an End?

Beshalach

The nevuah at the Yam Suf, that the Jews did receive..
Was so spiritually sublime, that they did not want to leave.

It felt wonderful, plus now the Egyptians would be a thing of the past.
But a prophesy that intense, could not last

To us today a message it does send ...

The intensity of learning Torah full time in kolel, makes one feel like they are in "heaven".
Shtieging over Rishonim and Achronim 24/7

A young woman, sends letters home..
Saying, 'A joy learning Torah like this, I have never known!'

But alas all good things must come to an end..

Their experience of intense learning, usually does not last forever.
And now one must deal, with more "mundane" endeavors.

Like men for instance must make a parnasa, not necessarily your number one thing you'd like to do.
And you don't feel nearly as fulfilled, when the day is through.

The Jews who were in Egypt, we are like them.
It is not always about spiritual "ecstasy". It is about doing the ratzon H-shem.

Of course the sublime experience by the Yam Suf would  not last.
And the nevuah and such closeness to H-shem would be a thing of  the past. 

Later they would be in the midbar, and often fail.
And eventually merit to be farmers, in Eretz Yisroel.

So true being a kolel yungerman, or girl in seminary is a sublime life.
But there is nothing quite like building a bayis ne'eman biyisroel, with a husband or wife!
