Question
Every Pesach my Dad brings up a concept he once heard at a seminar about the parting of the Red Sea. The concept was that the Jews had to walk through a "Sea of Reeds", not an actual sea. This year I would like to have more knowledge on this concept to be better able to discuss it at the Seder table.
Answer
The name of the body of water was called the Sea of Reeds, often mistranlsated as Red Sea. But the Sea of Reeds was a deep body of water, and tunnels opened up for the Jews to walk through.
