Breaking Bounds

"Mitzrayim expresses constrictions, limitations. The spiritual Egyptian exile is the animals souls restricting and concealing the G-dly soul so severly that the G-dly soul is comprompressed to the degree that it is diminished and obscured. Yitzias Mitzraim is the removal of the constriction and bounds; meaning, the intellect in the brain illuminates the heart, bringing about fine character traits translated into actual practice." - Hayom Yom Daled Shvat
