== Redemptions in the Days of Israel ==

Line 14:

According to Chassidic teachings, a person in this world is in a personal exile, with their divine soul imprisoned by the animal soul. Mitzrayim comes from the word "meitzar" (constraint) and limitation. A person must leave Mitzrayim, breaking free from their personal material limitations and connect to Hashem through fulfillment of Torah and mitzvot.

This redemption must be experienced every day, as a person can break through new boundaries each day. As the Alter Rebbe brings in the Tanya, "In every generation and every day, a person must see himself as if he personally left Egypt today."

This departure particularly occurs during the acceptance of the yoke of Heaven in the recitation of Shema, when one accepts Hashem's unity by saying "Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad." For this reason, the Sages established the passage about the Exodus during the Shema, even though remembering the Exodus is a separate mitzvah.

Line 27:

After this redemption, no more exiles will occur, and therefore this redemption is called 'the true one,' since truth is something eternal that does not change. In this redemption, all the Jewish people will be redeemed without exception, unlike previous redemptions in which only parts of the nation were redeemed. Therefore, this redemption is called 'the complete one,' as it will be done in completeness and Moshiach will gather all the dispersed of Israel.
