“the man who knew that his people were in the "fire of Egypt," which would some day be paralleled by the crematoria of contemporary history – to that Moses was shown, in the first communication from God, that “the bush may burn, but it will not be consumed.” The Jewish people may be in flames, but contrary to the laws of nature, they will never be destroyed. Am Yisrael Hai, “the Jewish people will live forever,” was the metaphorical message that served as the true purpose of the miracle of the burning bush. The burning bush was more than a miracle; it was a message.”
