Every Last Drop
The essay explores the miracle of rain as described in the Midrash, where every single drop is guided by a unique angel to ensure it never mixes with another. By comparing rain to the Manna (Monn) in the desert, it argues that divine sustenance is tailored specifically for each individual's needs, teaching us to focus on our own portion and avoid envy of others.

On the Water
The essay explores the Midrashic statement that all of God's miracles for Israel involve water. By analyzing the properties of water—its lack of independent form and its total submission to its container—the author explains that miracles (Nissim) serve to teach humans to nullify their own egos and desires to the Will of God, a process central to true Teshuva and the crossing of the Jordan River.
