Throughout Jewish history, the hand of Hashem has been present in every event and every moment of every day. In Sefer Shemot, the Hand of Hashem is very explicit and seen by all. The redemption of Bnei Yisrael from Mitzrayim started with the Makkot, and moved onto the next stages after leaving Egypt.
An example of a miracle upon leaving Egypt was the pillar made of a cloud that led the Jews in the right direction during the day, and the pillar of fire during the night: “VeHashem Holeich Lifneihem Yomam Be’Amud Anan Lanchotam VeLaylah Be’Amud Eish Leha’ir Lahem Lalachet Yomam VaLayla,” “Hashem went before them in a pillar of cloud by day, to guide them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they could travel during the day and night” (Shemot 13:21). This is an obvious example of Hashem performing miracles.
Similarly, a Perek later, Hashem performs another miracle, possibly the most famous one in Jewish history, the splitting of the sea: “VaYeit Moshe Et Yado Al HaYam VaYolech Hashem Et HaYam BeRuach Kadim Azah Kol HaLaylah VaYasem Et HaYam Lecharavah VaYibake’u HaMayim,” “Then Moshe held out his arm over the sea and Hashem drove back the sea with a strong east wind all that night, and turned the sea into dry ground. The waters were split” (Shemot 14:21).
In contrast, in Megillat Esther, the Hand of Hashem is not as explicit when we were redeemed. Although Bnei Yisrael were saved miraculously, Hashem’s name is not included in the Megillah. The Ibn Ezra explains that Mordechai wrote the Megillah, and he knew that non-jewish nations would copy down the Megillah for their future generations. He did not want the other nations to change Hashem’s name in the Megillah and replace it with their own pagan gods as other nations had done with previous texts. Even though Mordechai did not write Hashem’s name, he understood then, and we must understand now, that everything succeeds because of Hashem.
To digress, not only the good comes from Hashem, but so does the bad, which is why upon hearing bad news a person says, “Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet.” Saying this, allows a person to recognize the role of Hashem in all events. A person must realize and appreciate that even the mundane and seemingly natural occurrences are from Hashem.
As we go through our lives, we must be thankful for all we have and see the Hand of Hashem in everything, and may we be blessed to see the Hand of Hashem in the coming of the final redemption, בקרוב בימינו.
