Miriam, the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women came out after her with tambourines and with dances [Beshalach 15:20]
The righteous women did not delegate their responsibilities to their leader, Miriam the prophetess. Rather, each and every woman made for herself a tambourine, in a personal effort to trust in G-d's redemption and rejoice in it when it comes.
There is always a temptation to leave the responsibility of inspiring the people to Jewish leaders. However, we can learn from the righteous women in Egypt that it is every single person's obligation to inspire his or herself and all of the people that he or she comes into contact with.

Just found this out: all FB users... with Iphones... go to Settings.... Privacy.... then Tracking.... you will notice it says ''Allow Apps to Request Track'' is turned on. Turn it off.
This was recently sneakily added the other day when FB users noticed they had been logged out of FB and had to re-log in.
It is said that Rav Avira taught: In the merit of the righteous women that were in that generation, the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt. So it will be so in the generation that Moshiach redeems
