What were some of the nissim and makkos that took place at Krias Yam Suf?
All the waters in the world split.
The clouds absorbed all the arrows and stones that the Mitzriyim shot and shot them back.
We were covered by seven clouds, one on each side and one leading the way.
Hashem washed the Mitzriyim up on shore, so the Yidden would know they were gone. And so we could see Hashem’s incredible nissim!
The sea split into 12 columns, one for each shevet.
We didn’t lose any possessions along the journey through the Yam Suf.
The chariots dragged and bumped around breaking the Mitzriyim’s bones.
Even though the ground was dry for us, it was soft and muddy for the Mitzriyim.
The bottom of the sea was perfectly dry for the Yidden.
It was dark for the Mitzriyim and light for us.
As soon as a person finished drinking, the fresh water became solid.
The walls were transparent, so each shevet could see the others.
The walls gave us fresh water to drink, even though the Yam Suf is a salty sea.
Two of the great magicians of Mitzrayim, Yochni and Mamre, made themselves wings with kishuf and flew away. Hashem told Michoel to drown them.
Trees grew from the walls and grew fruits, and the Yam Suf smelled sweet like Gan Eden.
The sea floor was flat; we didn’t have to climb up or down. There weren’t any potholes.
The water shook them up and down and around until they drowned.
Grass and plants grew on the ocean floor for the animals to eat.
The Yam itself dragged back the Mitztriyim who managed to run away!
All of us reached a high level of emunah and were worthy of seeing the Shechinah.
Although the Mitzrim tried to turn around, their horses galloped straight into the crashing waves!
As soon as the last Jew exited the Yam Suf, the last Mitzri entered. The malachim threw arrows, stones, and burning sulfur at the Mitzriyim to prevent them from escaping. The mud was boiling hot under the Mitzriryim, and the heat burned the wheels of the chariots.
