They're the subject of Chapter 107 of Tehillim, which lists four instances when people owe special gratitude to Hashem: crossing the desert; being freed from prison, recovering from a serious illness, and returning from a sea voyage. Yet these circumstances don't have to be taken literally. They're just the archetypes of crises that happen to all of us. The good news is tha...
