Why does everyone wanna be a star? Cuz they want to shine.
What does shining mean? It means sharing your soul with the world. so, you're saying people wanting to be stars really want to share their soul with the world ? Yes.
How can I be a star? Well there's a lot of opinions, the Torah sages says there's only one way to be a star shining forever .
What does the Torah say?:
The sages say our personal fears and phobias, perceptions of not being good enough, perceptions of others being better. Is what stops us from shining(being a star). In other words "our personal limitations" blocks us from "our personal greatness".
The story of the Exodus is really about leaving fear to achieve your highest of dreams. Really? how does the story of Exodus explain that? To begin with, the word egypt in Hebrew is Mitzrayim literally meaning "Limitations".
The sages in Midrash deduced from the words “these are the names of the sons of Israel” in Exodus 1:1 that Israel(dreamers)are just as important to God as the host in the heavens. Exodus 1:1says “names,” and Psalm 147:4 also says “names” in reference to the stars, when it says of God, “He counts the number of the stars; He gives them all their names.” So when Israel (dreamers) came down to Egypt(letting go of fears and phobias) , God counted their number, too, and because they were likened to stars, God called them all by their names. Hence Exodus 1:1 says, "these are the names." Learn about yourself. Learn about your fears and phobias, do research and learn from others whom have overcome the same issues.
In conclusion:
Let's get this straight. Egypt metaphorically represents mental limitations. The Israelites represent dreamers; they left Egypt and became stars. Get it?
