Reply To: Beshalach – Tefila

The holy Berdichaver explains in Kadushas Levi how the mitzryim went into the sea when they saw the supper natural of its splitting. When the ruler of mitzryim heard the argument from the ruler of the sea that the Jews also worshipped a’z, was passed on to the mitzryim, and they felt a sense of victory believing that the Jews are not better than they are, which encouraged them to go into the sea.
