When we learn the lesson of the Sea of Reeds to feel unity in our hearts, with all our differences, we can be more of the mind to “see” each other, be more forgiving, and able to focus on the good.
The cherubim are also woven into the fabric of the Tabernacle curtains and also of the parochet, the “veil” that divides the Holy of Holies from the rest of the Tabernacle.
The indelible impression made by this encounter keeps alive the knowledge of our uniqueness and closeness to God, and of the promise that will be kept.
