The Talmud has a well known, but somewhat bizarre, statement connected to this week's Parsha. The Talmud in Sotah says, “Rabbah the son of Chamah said in the name of Rabbi Yochanan: “Matching a couple is as difficult as splitting the Red Sea.” Now, we all know how difficult it can be to find the right match for someone, and it is a miracle that a person could ever find someone they wanted to spend their entire life with, but as difficult as splitting the Red Sea? Why does the Talmud use that analogy as opposed to any other miracle found in the Torah?
