Why Is Attachment to Connection a Condition for Crossing the Barrier?
Who knows? The Creator sets a condition, and when we fulfill it, the Creator takes us across the barrier. We do not gain anything by crossing the barrier. We have no tools, strength, or an entry ticket. Before the barrier, we fulfill a certain condition, and then we are taken across the barrier.
The condition is necessary because by observing it, we take something with us. As it is written, from Egypt they take tools, flee in the darkness, and they stand before Pharaoh. In other words, they take this impression. If we do not pass through Egypt, we cannot reach the Land of Israel. We can only reach Israel via Egypt.
It is not that the level where we are in Egypt increases and grows until it reaches a high enough level to allow entry into the Land of Israel. We pass through “the Red Sea,” a very special experience, which is truly a miracle. That is, we do nothing by our own strength. It is not our preparations that take us across.
