“Egypt”, called “Mitsraim” in Hebrew, originates from the word “Metsar” (“Narrowness”).
מצרים
The myth of the exodus from Egypt symbolizes the world’s liberation from narrow-mindedness, from limits, from the Matrix: leaving one’s mental prison to reach Universal Consciousness.
#Nissan #Crossover
Leaving Egypt is about breaking the artificial boundary between the material and the spiritual. It means becoming aware that there’s more than what our five senses perceive. There is something beyond.
#PasQueMan #Pacman
Pharaoh represents our ego, seeing itself as the master of the world. His army—the darker facets of our unrefined personality—pursues those who seek to escape from Egypt.
The swollen ego is the Chametz, the leavened bread: our pride, our negative inclinations.
For Passover, the Great Passage, we must search for Chametz “in our home,” remove it, and no longer possess it. When we refine our midot, our character traits, the Zeir Anpin (the Son) begins to shine like the sun and illuminates the Shechina, the Divine Presence in this world.

The word Pessach refers to the fact that death “passed over” the houses of the Hebrews during the plague of the firstborn in Egypt (see Exodus 12:13).

#SuperNess
The exodus from Egypt is celebrated during the festival of Pessach (Passover) from the 15th to the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan.
Within the name “Nissan,” we find the word “Ness,” which in the Bible means “Flag” or “Banner.” Over time, it came to mean “Miracle.”
נס
A Flag serves to manifest, to signal a presence. A Miracle signals the Presence of God.
The root of “Ness” appears, for example, in “Lenassot” (“To Try”), “Linssoa” (“To Travel”), and “Nissayon” (“Trial”).
Pharaoh represents the world of exteriority, the outside world trying to discourage us from following our Inner Path. Every new birth is a trial.
#CrossingTheDesert
Nissan marks a new passage: the beginning of Spring (“Aviv”), when everything becomes brighter, more vibrant. In Aviv, everything enlivens.
אביב
“Nissan” originates from the Akkadian “Nissanu” (𒊬𒊒𒄀).
In Sumerian, “Nisag” referred to the “first fruits”.
“Nissan” can also be linked to the word “Netz,” meaning a “Flower” of a fruit tree, but also a “Sparkle.”
נץ
“Netser” means a “Scion,” a shoot, a young branch meant for grafting.
נצר
In the same family, there is also “Nassa”: “To Leave”, “To Cross”, “To Journey”.

Passover is the rebirth of Spring, the season of eggs, births, and miracles.
Traditionally, an egg is placed on the Passover Seder plate. The egg represents the Temple of the Ego, which must be broken to be Reborn.

Let’s leave Egypt. Onward to Zion.
For that, a Nissan will do the job.
Nissan comes from combining the letters “Ni” (“Nihon”, “Japan”) and “San” (“Sangyo”, “Industry”).
“Ni” 日 means “Sun”,
“San” 産 “Birth”.
#RisingSon #RisingSun
Nissan comes from the Land of the Rising Sun: it’s a Japanese brand.

One of Nissan’s slogans is “Shift”: “To Move”, “To Change”, “To Transform”, “To Evolve.”
The secret of Nissan is the secret of the Vehicle: what serves to transmit the Light, to move from one place to another, to communicate.
#PathToSalvation
It’s not a fancy car that attracts the feminine aspect of the Divine. We attract the Shechina with a beautiful Torah, a New Torah, the path leading us to the Promised Land, our Inner Kingdom, where the Light rises.
It’s a long journey. Don’t forget the Essence.
