This is the week that we read the portion of the Torah when the Jewish People crossed the Sea of Reeds. When they crossed to the other side Miriam led all the women in a song of gratitude to G-d for saving them from the Egyptians and bringing them out of slavery. It is noted that as they sang they all played their tambourines. The women had the foresight so know that they were going to be saved and they we were going to need to celebrate, so as they were leaving Egypt they brought all packed these small instruments that would allow them to sing praises to G-d and rejoice in the fullest way possible. It is known that when G-d again redeems his people, and indeed redeems his entire creation with the coming of Moshiach that the women will again praise G-d with tambourines. So, as preparation for this coming Shabbos and the immanent coming of the righteous Moshiach, a few friends and I took it upon ourselves this week to decorate tambourines this week. Please G-d, we should be able to use these immediately!
