Finally Pesach is upon us and we go all out to prepare ourselves for the best seder ever. We try some wine and delve into different ideas in how to bring the best of ourselves and to bring out the best in our children with wonderful ideas and penetrating insights in to the secret of our immortality as Yidden!
Enjoy!
So let's see if this is working right now, yep, okay, so welcome out here to the podcast world to the amuse world
Welcome out there to any time world and let's see if we can get this done. So first off, what are we drinking tonight?
So this is the 24 Pinot Noir of Herzog. It is non-movigil. They just came out with it and it is drinking
Fantabulous. It's it's not extremely young right out of the bottle. It's amazing. I'm really considering this yet for
For for Seder because it's just a very easy. It's just a very easy drink and it's not expensive like 30 something bucks. So I'm
And now the reason why I'm saying it so many times because I like I want people to ask me questions about wine
You know like I it's such a good feeling when people like rabbi have no questions about like your your share
Your show is a disaster, but could you at least tell me what which wine were you drinking again? Very light very fruity really really enjoyable. All right
Tonight tonight we are going through hopefully the first half of the center
So tonight we're going to do the first half of the Seder Bazar Hashem next Tuesday
We're going to do the second half of the Seder
Initially, I was going to always do capitalist stuff, but then I realized there's so much to do over here
I mean, we'll see if we can touch upon it, but I don't know for going to just because it's just a certain amount of time. So
Getting into the zone of the Seder should I move this over is this yeah, yeah, good. Okay
So getting it to the zone of the Seder we all know that the way that the Seder goes is that you have a bunch of
A bunch of people will show up and
It can get a bit crazy. It can get a bit busy
Especially Baruch Hashem people who have so many guests and
A lot of times we get to miss out on the main mitzvah which so many times
It just happens that we miss a main mitzvah, which what a shame what is the main mitzvah the main mitzvah is
Vigant eleven, but the main mitzvah is is that we're supposed to be saying over to our children saying over to ourselves saying over to
Everybody the story of C. P. R. H. M. S. R. and giving over what the secret is about C. P. R. H. M. S. R.
That's what we're supposed to be giving over and if we don't do that if that doesn't happen
So then just what a shame now you can get the story that you can give it over
But there's a build up if you get this build up right if you make this build up happen in a correct way
So then the story will flow right through and you can have I think one of the greatest that I remember
But it's got to come to the focus now. I don't expect anybody. I know I don't go for everything that I have on these
Yeah, I just don't everybody out there in Toronto turn it time-world you can start to email me for these sheets and it's very simple
I said the last time but I didn't even post I didn't even post last week's here because things are just too crazy
Yeah, no, so I'm gonna say at this time again if you gave to the chazatron razor then by all means
Email me if you did it to lose my email so good
The you know me out there's every years I spent on this thing
And no and now people are gonna go
People are gonna go and they're gonna start to say things like one second. I gave to the I gave to the tourney town fundraiser
Good for you. You didn't give to I'm no, I'm thrilled
You know what if you gave to them you can email me also, please you know as long as you were giving you
Even if it's a dollar it's just like something that you feel okay, I should stop talking all right
I should just get right into fair enough. We're gonna get yeah
This is already strike one on this not being put anyway. So cottage when again, it's now L. Do you have a seat?
Being sure it's okay if not you can send it you can send an leo and I'll be slapped right over there
That's fine. She's here. We go here. We go
So
I
Would like to let everybody sit around the table. No
That the Avira de Arah that the air of earth's Israel just walked in all these guys
We've just come back from Israel to learn each one of these guys
I know personally have grown in Torah
tremendously they all come back and they all say the same things to me
They're just like rabbi. I didn't learn a thing by you last year and you know
I thought to myself man
Torah is just not and then I went to Israel and I learned with real rabbis and it was just amazing
And it was just so good. It was wow
So that's we're trying to do all the time. That's so cute. So I'm so so happy guys
You give me such a joy. You are my biggest nachat in the world and yeah, I'm including my children
I just I you are my biggest nachat chastron not including the children. I feel like you're all my children ashrah
All right, let's do this now cottage
so we start off
Kadeh shor khaat khaar pasya khaat. I know that's the ashrah's way to sing it
That's just the way that we would sing it in our house. Do you guys know the halakhra is you're supposed to sing that?
But you're supposed to why you're supposed to sing that?
So I saw an amazing shot. I saw it in the sips eichan an amazing shot. How many mitzvah do oraita do we have of
God telling you eat something inside the Torah
Meaning
When does a shem tell us to eat something in particular like bekhara mazaan he tells you once you ate and you're full
You know bekhana mazaan it's nice, but to tell eat this so eat carbonate right of the cohen
We'll eat to have a khatat the one who owns the shlamim will eat some of the shlam the only real time. Hashem says eat his matsaf
Hashem tells us and karan pesa. We're not the karan pesa anymore eat
the matsaf
So says the sips eichan but from a khatat the shireb on the side. He said that when a yid
Comes to the center
If you're a real yid
You should be like counting down the seconds until I get to do my mitzvah to oraita again this year of eating matsaf
We're afraid the guys are gonna come running into his house
Run right up to the matsaf and just start pounding matsaf after our feet and so
Because we don't want that we tell the guy whoa
Kaddej or khaat's khaat's khaat we tell no there's a whole said there
There's a whole order to things slow you're all we're gonna get there
You then are so excited to do mitzvah. So he brought that that's some shot the other reason we do this and probably
You know more of the real reason is is that the said there itself and this maybe next week
We'll get into has a very specific
Of capitalist the connotation to it and that's why we go and we do things alha said there because the way things are
Lined up and come down from shaman, but specifically on this said it. Let's do this now kadej
Kadej means being separated from the physical have a mind
I'm leaving the natural world and ascending closer to you Hashem in the supernatural. What does kidusha mean?
Alex kidusha
Kadoj doesn't just mean holiness. What does it mean?
So it means being
Separate it attack kadoj shaman kadoj we say god your kadoj your name is kadoj
What does kadoj mean when we say to god your kadoj we're saying you're beyond like like you're
Separate you be on this world when something is separate when we say how mafgul been koda shlokho
We're saying we're separating between the spirituality and everything else in this world
Whenever we do kadej whenever we make kidush on Friday night for young tov makes no difference
We're doing something to elevate ourselves out of the physical and we're actually being make kadej ourselves a man
Says to lady haramikudashu we bitavatsu a man says to a lady you're a mikudash to me
What he's saying is is that you're now separated from the rest of the world and now it's just me and you
That's what it is when we do kadej when we have a mind right now is is that we're ascending up to Hashem
We're getting closer to Hashem in the supernatural way
How does that work? So first off?
Who makes kidush on the night of of the pesa
Everybody only time I mean there are certain men hug him of people who all the boys do it on Friday
I have for the most part the men the women the kids everybody does kidush. Why?
The reason why it's because tonight I mean we say to make the kids ask but tonight
Everybody has to be mikudash themselves
Everybody has to uplift themselves to get closer to connect more to Hashem
so
The first cup represents back inside the first cup represents the first of the four expressions of freedom
Hotsati Hashem said for the Shunot of G-Ula
The first of the four Lishonot the four statements of getting out is Hotsati
Hashem says I took you out you took us out of the natural world to give a supernatural existence to live with you for eternity
It's an amazing thing
Hashem took us out. How do you guys think about this for a second? We went in as just like these people and
Hashem said I'm taking you out and I'm making you my nation. It's what I'm doing. I just
Wow, hold safety. I'm taking you out of the dark. I'm taking you out. Wow. Okay, I'm not okay double stand up
One second standing up for a game. I'm sitting back down again and then standing up for this one. Wow, wow, wow
Wow Liam Liam Liam here. No, no, no, no, no, you know, I don't get to sit back there too bad get over there
That's it right right front center too bad. I am so happy to see you. Wow. How many more colors can we make a poor guy?
I'm so sorry
Yeah, no, please
All right, that helped
So
Hotsi means Hashem took us out from the trial and
Hashem made us his people it's an amazing thing
He took us out from the darkness of it and he brought us up so much higher wine is so important to us
All right, let's let's get into wine
Hidden within the grape is all you need to make wine the sugar of the yeast
You just need to crush down its physical and time to produce it. It's an amazing thing
on the
Here on the can I get a grape please?
There we go
So Hashem makes the grapes grow and on the skin of every grape if you look close
There's a thin thin just you can't even see microscopic thin just layer of yeast
That's on the skin of the grape all you have to do is just take it crush it the juice comes out inside the juice
The sugar yeast each sugar it creates alcohol fermentation you just take that put it into a barrel wait 14 months
Pour it out and your Victor van Good. I mean, it's amazing. You just get loin. It's just wow
So first off wow Hashem is literally saying
How you not how are you not into this?
Wine is amazing Hashem hit almost every flavor in the world wine is like money
There's pineapple there's there's cherry. There's raspberry. There's coffee. There's chocolate. It's all there
I'm telling you you're gonna go up to heaven if you don't appreciate wine. Hashem is gonna be like oh this guy
Do you know what I did to put into wine? Do you understand how awesome I made wine and sir?
Oh look at me. I'm not a wine guy
You you you you've got to be yes. No, you have to appreciate it. That's happened right?
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to but you you you you really right that's it
But you really really got to get an appreciation. It's something so amazing
But why is it that way in order to get to wine in order to get to the appreciation the most complex drink on planet earth
The only way you get there is it's got to be crushed physically and it needs time to get to its greatness
What happened to the Jews and its Ryan?
They were crushed and time to get to their greatness and the question is why?
Why did it have to be that way?
Why does God make the world in this fashion that only after something is crushed?
After something is hurt after something has been through some difficulties only after that
Do you then and then time to go and appreciate and think it through only after that
So the best of us come out and that is expressed in wine certainly and that is what we use to always make kiddish
Why because what is kiddish? What is kiddusha?
It's separating from the rest of the world
But why wouldn't we separate from the rest of world because it's too small?
Because it's too, I don't know just raw. It's too desensitized. I'm bigger. I'm better than that
You guys remember in 300 so when all the Spartans showed up to go to the battle against Cersei's army
And is there anybody holding her?
So I just don't okay? Everybody. Well, people I weren't expecting are all they're all they want
So they show up and then the first night. There's this massive storm and the storm is sinking all of the bad guys ships and everything else and
All the Spartans are just yelling and screaming right? You remember that guy with the eye patches voice?
Spartans I
Celebrating that the gods themselves are fighting against Cersei's in his army
Seeking to the ground seeking to the ocean. Yes wind. Yes, Gail's destroy his ships
Destroying the enemy all of them are yelling and howling save one
King of the United and
Then you see the King is just like stone faced King Leonidas does not yell nor does he express that he thinks face is cold
Stone for you knows tomorrow is another day of war. The King never loses his composure of that is King Leonidas
That guy who he told them at the end to go back and tell the story is like no, and you just stay with you my king
Okay, I'll move you right
But somebody's got to go and tell somebody's got to go and tell them, you know like what happened there?
We're worried right cottage so
Why does the King not yell and scream? Why doesn't he lose his composure because he's Kadoche
He's beyond life has taught him. He's learned to nothing life to know that this is nice and for the young soldiers
They're celebrating thinking that the oldest son have a win
Tomorrow's another day of war meaning
Only the things that have been crushed by experiences of life and had time to get wiser with that
Their best comes out
Only those who appreciate what Judaism really is and what it gives us can use wine and say that the same way that this wine is
Crushed and it becomes its greatness on the other side so too on the cottage myself
I separate myself from the smolness of the rest of this world and I want to come up and get closer to you Hasha
Now you're not going to be able to explain this to everybody at the table
Why cuz the kids are yelling and screaming and your uncle that nobody ever invites
But for some odd reason besides to just park himself at the table the guy doesn't like anything
I'm not forget about Judaism. He just doesn't like anything. It's like is there anything you've all complained about right?
So you can't sit and explain, but you'll need to know this
Okay, that is battery number one everybody
Yeah, let's give you a second. Sorry. I knew that that would happen
The same as the same as the Hush Baruch. That's what they say
I I learned that on my one of my LL flights back to Israel. I was watching 300 and they translate
No, they have the Hebrew words, so it's a Hush Baruch
I know that by the way, that's how I learned. Yeah, not I'm not going to argue with the translator on LL
Here we go
So yes, every single time we do an active
We do we are leaving the physical world behind and now we're connecting to us. Yeah, it was absolutely
All right, yeah, let's keep on going so no so that is the concept of what happens with
Kidouche with wine, but it gets more the numerical value back inside of wine is 70 this represents traversing from exalted redemption
From slavery to free men
I'm about to ask you much questions every answer is 70 all right. Are you ready?
Okay, how many years whether between the first and second bet to make that fantastic? How many Jews went down to matrayam with Yagof 70
How many people in bettin doing needs for Mashiach to come to follow some Mashiach 70?
We say that Mashiach can come Kehreff
Ion the blink of an eye the letter Ion is 70 finally how many years did Adam
Give to Davin Hamelah when he saw he was just a baby. He gave him 70
Why do you give him 70? Why is this number 70 always standing between Galut and Guilan?
The answer is the number 70 has the co-op to take something that is terrible and bring it to something that is great
Yian is the numerical value you're you're known 101050 is 70 and
God put it into the physical aspect of wine because wine can take you from a
Dark place
And
I mean, you know, it could just what a lovely and it's just it can get you there
Huh, the opposite also can take you to the opposite. Oh
You said the opposite I I don't speak French. I
I don't know why you're messing with you
Why am I doing so but no more I for me, but the the opposite the number 70 is both
Your your your question is so good. It's got to be the answer. How many Jews we just said went out to matrayam?
They went from over there being free men don't into
Galut as well. Yeah, it just the co-op of 70 takes you from one place to another
Sometimes good to bad something bad but fantastic. Yeah
Yes, 100% and that's what we say nighna sani jyotsas. So it brings out who you are
If you're if there's something bad inside you we're gonna find it if you're a great person
We're gonna find it. It just traverses things
So if you're starting in a physical place which we all are and you need to get out of that physical place
And have your own personal redemption out to go to qadosh to go to be separated from everything else
What we use is the vehicle of wine why is it it's yian at 70 it takes us there
And why is it that way because Hashem said that this is the thing crush it give the time and it's greatness comes out
And that's what we as you didn't are that's the story of whom we are we got crushed
We have time and then our greatness comes out. That's why we use wine. So
Ah
You're free tonight. You're free from the shackles of the physical free from anger free from being affected negatively by others
You're free and this is something that must be said the satan is working over time every single person said there
We all know that that's why everybody likes the second stator more than the first stator
It's always the first stator is always
pressure
Everything's like yeah, the second stator was just relaxed
You're laughing a lot about you at least by me as it's just always the second stator is just amazing
Um the first stator you know so many people and you got to so first off you just got to relax
You really really you know
The satan is afraid of what we can become on the other side of the set there. He's just petrified
So make sure that we are relaxed. You're free from anger reberk which would save us. You got to concentrate on this
You're free from anger. You're free from being affected negatively by others
You are free from it all
Lean to the left now we saw this last week when you lean to the left
That is one of the most important parts of drinking why in the capitalist the concept what we saw was the lean to the left
Is mom tick it sweetens all of the din that's coming from the left side you remember what this whole thing last week
Slow down
Enjoy the line
laugh and love those around you you're free from petting this act noble act like a Jew
So what it is that's the over you just got to be
My mom's just cool as a cat. So a lot of people start to ask well my cousins my in-laws all this
I don't know. I'm not getting like involving your personal business, but
I beg people at least one said they're have a long just you and your family
Just you the kids so if it's possible to try and have that because that's just like the most amazing thing all right
You
I'm so oh
Oh my gosh
Ah, okay, so then we go to Orgat
How do you spell Orgat?
Do we have an extra one down over there?
I go now. So remember from my answer
So there we go
There it is
Orgat so the valve of Orgat
What does the valve of Orgat do so valve is a connector game. How you doing?
Good. I can't just want to know. I was my mash. I was thinking about you today after these guys stop by
I might haven't seen game in a while. I'm so happy to see call it come on
So Orgat means and washing
Cadish or hot and washing why why and
Meaning none of the other things have an end this one has an end and the reason why is because
Cadish or hats. They are connected to each other
There is a reality that kind of binds them together the valve of Orgat's inside means and connecting to Cadish
We were Macadish. We made holy our minds with Cadish now Orgat is the vehicle to spread that holiness and puri to the rest of our body
So let's read this now in the times of the Macache to Jews ate the carbon peasant from total Tahara and puri
They'd wash their hands
So it was not to transmit any impurities from themselves to the food from the food back to themselves
We wash our hands so that when we engage in the physical tonight
We only transmit purity
Ensuring that when we give over the story of Pesach the lifeline of the Jewish people to our children
It's given only impurity
So this is a fascinating thing
Back then when the Kohanim used to wash their hands before they did the Abu Dhabi to make notions because they're about to serve God
Why do we wash our hands? Let's say for bread
We do that because when we get involved in something that's going to be physical
We could mistakenly just eat that thing just because I want to eat this physical thing
Or we can stop ourselves and say I'm I'm doing something that's a holy avodah
I'm actually doing something that is going to be my field to get closer to God
The reason why we wash our hands is to let you know that this is no less of an avodah of Tahara
This is no less of a pure amazing act that you're about to do and this eating is so the eating tonight of the seder
It's completely spiritual to eating tonight of the seder
It's it's it's going to bring us to incredible places eating the mats and the mara
So we so we stop and we wash our hands to say I'm being mitta her myself and that's a connection to Kadej
Kadej was Mekadej our minds to go Tasha
This is purifying our bodies to get close Tasha
Although no Brakhaz recited have intense concentration to have the body rectified and purified
Eyes closed tight
Meditate on the physical being the vessel for the soul this purity is what sets us apart from the nations of the world
Your body is just a vessel
This cup it's a beautiful wine glass, but what is this for?
It's for one thing. It's to hold the wine
Your body is the cup
The wine is your soul. I mean, that's just the way that it goes
Tonight we have to recognize that my body is just a cup holding what God gave me when I left Egypt's
Purpose I just to become a part of him to connect to him
So my body tonight is just here to hold my soul, but truly that's where I am. I am a soul
And then it comes to Karpas and then everybody rooms it because when we get to Karpas people start to say
Oh, we can eat something. I'll find him star. I'm so hungry
So if you say that guess what your body just kicked back in an overdrive, right?
So you got to shut it down. You got to shut. No, no
We're eating because of something spiritual or about to get out of that
So a focusator is one that choice to be as dichotomous as possible
Okay
Very proud of that words
Yeah, dichotomous. Um all my 12 granders no clue no clue waste of money in that education. I just
dichotomous means
Two opposite things happening at the same time. So a dichotomy two opposite things a
Sater is supposed to be as dichotomous as possible
It's supposed to be as opposite as possible. Let's see
We dipped a vegetable and salt water because we're aristocrats
We dip to represent the mortar mixed with tears of our ancestors
What are we doing? So we have our beautiful table setup white beautiful tablecloth all the China out everything
They say that the marille was a money lender of used to lend money the 1800s to Jews non-Jews
So they would give them a collateral
So if even non-Jews would come they would give them like a silver candlestick or something that he would hold on to until he has money back
So he had this massive
Just a closet filled with all of these silver stuff locked away
Once a year he would unlock it he would take out oil and we just put it all around the house
He would make his house look as a aristocratic as noble as much as a king's castle as possible
We're supposed to be kings tonight. We're supposed to be free from everything
So our kids see us as being free and we're dipping. Why are we dipping because we say aristocrats?
You know wealthy people back then they would have more than one course
You know regular people to have here. They would have five courses and the first course that would just dip and in by my sater
I make everybody stick their pinky out when they do a hundred percent. I'm feeling like getting monocles
You know, you know the mr. Monopoly. I know the dish
No, like like did you get everybody in the top hat also? Okay, Amazon. We got to uh
Now that Amazon your there's no excuse that anybody's pays off table shouldn't be rocking
I mean you can get top hats and monocles for
Okay, yeah, it's just amazing. It's just amazing
Um because you're supposed to be raw you supposed to just be this like noble person
And you dip in your carp. I shouldn't you tell the kids by the way we're dipping in the carposs because
The tears remind us of the fact that we were crying because we were slaves and it was terrible and we were just beating to death
So you're like what are we doing? I like are we thrilled? Are we happy? Are we free?
Are we aristocrats or are we depressed and we're remembering sadness say y'all men 20 days we're doing both
It's dichotmic. It's it's both at the same time. Why be doing it that way? You'll see in the spirit of mimic
Okay, this next piece I saw I think in a khabad um
Marza hagada. I like to too much. I had to put it inside in the spirit of being macadash ourselves
Made our minds holy or cats made our body holy and with the act of dipping the food in water
Similar to a mikveh
Carposs makes our food holy as well
You're dipping your food into a mikveh. Okay
Nobody cares. It's amazing. I just is it really a mikveh no relax yourself to our anytime
But it's it's just it's just cool. It's just like like that's the um
All right, I'm gonna give it out to myself
Note to self take it out of your thing. Uh next carposs
So carposs is also the letters of perach samar same letters right perach what is perach
Perach with a khat is a flower perach with a khab khab so feet back breaking work
Almost like meaningless labor
Avodakasha is like hard work, but at least you know you get paid for perach is like when you're doing something and it's just pointless
And the entire time I I want to surprise my wife and make like a picture album thingy, you know like online like
Yeah, you make one of those things. So as I owe 50% off or something. I spent two hours
I'm just sitting there. I have so much to do. I'm like, but once you get into it
Got to pick the background color and you know, you got to put in the go through the whole thing
And at the end with like the 50% off the thing was like a crazy amount of money like you gotta be
Says yeah, the whole thing was just that is perach
Perach is when you do something it's superb and it's worthless the whole thing was pointless
This entire thing was right by the way they got me. Oh, I paid for it
Let's say it's I just what I mean, I didn't know the glassy. I took down the price of it
But at the end of the day what you didn't they mom is you know, it's definitely you didn't own that company
So perach samar perach is bitter bitter work of samar samar the morale tells us that the number six the number 60
600 600 thousand they all fall under the same route the number six is just times by tens and when it's times by
Tens it it just intensifies what the number six is same for four same for five. It just intensifies it
So perach samar is really a reference to the back great work of the 600,000 Jews
Why would referring to car pass as perach samar
Were the chosen people who had to go through these conditions? In fact, it was the perach
That led to the samar to the totality of our 600,000 souls
Why did Hashem make it have to be this way? Why did I should make it this mahala this way
Hashem is telling us perach to samar the only way that you get to the samar
Don't when you get the 600,000 souls was alderach perach was through the back breaking work
That's the only way you get there
why
Hashem you couldn't give us an easier note
The way that did you and look throughout history
From the first bit to make our second bit to make that's the Jews being
persecuted now no matter what there's always a perach and somehow rather we keep on growing from it
It's an amazing thing but Hashem always that that's what car pass teaches us. Why is it that way?
Are we his people or are we not does he love us or does he want to destroy us?
Which one is it it is a dichotomous satire but we're trying to get our kids to really be bothered by this
Why because the answer to this
Is the answer to our immortality the answer to this is we got the levanta the answer to this is the secret to our survival forever and the most important
the answer to this
We'll hopefully keep our kids Jews forever
So let's keep on going Yacht's
Yacht's is splitting the matza
So I don't know if you guys are starting to pick up a little bit on the underlying theme of here what we're trying to do right by the wine
We started over how we're supernatural how being crushed and getting the quality that comes after it that that that that that that is something
We have to be macadas separate ourselves from the rest of the world and then we saw Orchats being macadash our bodies
Because tonight we're involved in Tahara and then we saw car pass
Yeah, it's we're both slaves and we're free
But the only way that you get to the Samah is through the parach through the crushing act
That's how you get there and then Yacht
Yacht's is the artist
Weirdest aspect of the sauer
Because it's almost so anti-climatic. It's like
Okay
And then let's move on
What what is going on with Yacht's well
Why why are we doing this Yacht's so it's an amazing thing
We're about to tell our kids a story of Miss Ryan
And we started out with the one people who did not suffer in Miss Ryan
Believing the living in did they go through the Vietnam of Miss Ryan? No
They they didn't work
They didn't have because they didn't do a vote of Zara
They were not in the 49th level of tumult they work just I want you guys to appreciate this
Imagine like a Nazi chasing a Jew during World War II and like his rock-wilder just
And the dog is just chasing a Jew and and and and like the Nazis blown his whistle
Challenge now you're
And he's just and he's just yawning to running in his yells and the Jews stops and like the dog
He's holding back the dog and and he's just says to the Jew like
Takes out his gun and he's like guy so the kids are constantly we're not
Just yelling and then the Jews like well, I'm a lavy
And then the Nazi is just like I am so sorry
But I heard
The guy turns around and the guy says
I'm a lavy and then the Nazi just stops and then out he says you know
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm going to go to the next house and and he just moves on. That's what happened in Miss Ryan
You know the material we're running around trying to like
Gather up all the Jews and hurt them and kill their kid up comes to the old name
You know they didn't have
So what's the secret about the lavy?
Before we get into what happened to the rest of Klyasron
I want to let you know the secret of the lavy and that's the person that we did so we take the middle Mata
We take the lavy Mata and let's look inside. We split the middle Mata the lavy
The lavy was counted at 30 days to be a soldier in the Legion of Ashams army
All the other Jews when were they counted the Israel when were they counted to go into the army 20 years
Right from 20 to 60. That's when they were counted. No, not the lavy 30 days old once he's a viable baby
That's it you belong in the service of God. You are now in his honor guard
Rashi says he's in the Ligion of Hashem and you belong to Hashem forever
I don't care that you could be a doctor you could be an engineer you could be an artist whatever your talents are
They've got to be given towards Hashem
so
He exists in this world to live in the next world
That's the lavy
the smaller half
So he cracked the Mata and you look at it the smaller half the left
Is left. I'm sorry for let him only
Representing the lavy's connection to this world. So his connection is tiny his connection is just
Nothing his connection is just that's it. It's the small half here. Do we have something to
I don't know. Okay
All right
Oh, you put a little wine to this guy. No, no, it's not gonna go. Oh, do you have a cookie? Yeah much better. Okay
Man, that was so tempting though
All right
Oh
That that just completely yeah
man
That was like just
They held on to each other. It's like pulling away a little baby calf from its mother. It was just
Okay, so you have your your two little halves over here. So you do the yafas. Here's the small half and here's the bigger half
The small half is left him only this is the poor man's
Mata this is the lavy
This is his lifeline. This is what he has for this world
The lavy the small half is left for lechamoni representing the lavy's connection to this world
The larger half
It's hidden for the afficoma and
Representing his reward in the world to come
The rambam writes the low chev at lavy bulvad
The rambam tells us everybody can become a lady whoever wants to join into that can become a lady
When splitting the matzah the small half is meant to be the letter dollar
The larger is a valve now. It doesn't look like a dollar. It doesn't look like a bug
But it's representing those letters of the gmarn shabbat talks all about what the letters are dollared is valid on the taft
Tough it's the word delat which means a door, but it's also like the word dal
Kedalimukhashim the faqmal de la taftah it means poor
We are poor inside this world. This guy is in proverish. He's in proverish from its vault
He wants to go and gain his connection and when he lives a life of dal
Of being separated from the physical
These guys just came back from Israel. I'm so jealous guys
Your your ribayoms apartments
Big small
Tiny how many kids are running out of those apartments?
Too many right? I've ever played that game with your friend. You came to me like
You want to count how many kids here?
Right because they're never in the same place at the same time
How happy are they?
They're the happiest year then they don't have much of a connection to this world
Because even owning a car in Israel is like you got to apologize to your neighbors like
My grandmother died so I was able to afford it like like it's almost a shame if you own a car. Yeah, you're so
Then this is it they have lehamoni. This is their connection to this world. That's all there is to it
They're dal they're in proverish. They don't have much physicality
But that is the delat that is the door to your vav. What is the vav?
The vav we said is the connector
The the vaveha michkan were the loops inside the michkan that connected the curtains together
vayomar and he said vav is a connector
They're doing this to be a doorway to get to this to get to olamahba
Then we hide the aficoman the large piece represented by the vav by the connector
olamhaba is where we finally connect with our reward with our king
We're harding our olamhaba
We tell the children olamhaba is hidden
But if we search it out
There's surely a wonderful prize from your abba waiting for you
Guys
The aficoman is like the happiest part of the whole thing, right? You I owe whoever finds it gets the prize all thing
It's a beautiful thing, but unfortunately we kind of lose the point of it. What's the point of it?
The point of ice kept gets asked questions all thing, but just the full process of a focusator is
You tell your kids
The lavy never was hurt because he always did what i shem said you know what he did crack
You know what he did he lived this life
You know abba worked so hard to have bought this beautiful house and abba worked so hard to get this beautiful cars
And abba worked so hard to get the vacation
All of that i'm telling you is not the thing that makes abba happy
I have you I have the family I have Hashem I have purpose
Honestly if we didn't have this big house if we didn't have the fancy cars if anything else
I would still be just as happy
If your kids say we don't believe you then you then you had a lot of work to do as a father
Then that means you've been running after this
You've been making your olem haze this
That's a problem you can't sell your kids on something that's not true. So you tell them
Our connection to physicality as Jews is this it's tiny. It's not meant to be a lot
We're in this world not for all the physical stuff
We used the physical stuff like when we washed our hands by orcats
We used the physical stuff to attain more spirituality
The lavy lived this life and he was untouchable
From the worst of people he was untouchable
And
This is what he worked for his olem hava so you know what olem hava is
Well, we hide the afi comment and what happens we put it away. It's very hard to find it
But when you search really hard for the afi comment and you find it what happens your abba gives you a big prize
If this is olem hava your olem hava is hidden you're going to spend your whole life searching for it
And when you find it your abba in shaman is going to give you a big prize
That's why we have to give over to our kids
So before we start to haga da of the story of how difficult it was in matrayam
We have to start to talk about the livin who didn't work at all and that's really who responds to be
All right, keep on going now my kid
So my gid means telling over my gid
means to
Talk over story now guys were we're only to be doing another like
Of this side five in the beginning of six and that's it for tonight. We're going to do the rest next week, but let's all jump into this now
My gid means telling over are telling over is split into two parts
part one
From halachma anya until yara ko meros khodesh
Those first paragraphs is the subject of the story
Part two from matrila
From when we start to talk about the fact that terach the father of avaram did avodizara up until the end of my gid where we drink the second cup
That's the telling of the story be sure to spend most of the time on the second part
Most people spend most of their time on the first part of my gid
They have a lot to say about alachma anya
They want all the kids and rancans the same monashkana, which is beautiful
And then from avadam hyinu that's when the wife starts to take the state that has been
With the knownness between
Yeah, or the husband starts to say to the wife and everyone else you know start to have the kids are getting tired
That is the main part
That is the main part of the whole thing
You know, that's the story
So go through these parts quicker meaning what it's about part one which is the
subject of the story go through that quicker
But there are different costumes right now different costumes are practiced over here
You get the children to ask from waving the kaarada sater plate over everyone's head and singing bifilu
To putting matzah in a sack and walking with it while others are asked where you coming from and where you going
It's all to set the mood of being different tonight
Do you guys do the bifilu the marakans
I mean to us that is like one of the highlights my father praise over each of us when when he used to do it
and
Even if there's once or twice in the sater that we lose it or five times at you lose it
But la masa get those moments get those moments and let them really matter
all right
Halakhmania so we say this is the poor man's bread so we put away the afi comment
And now we have the broken piece
Halakhmania this is the poor man's bread
De al-Khanu al-Vatana Baradim it's right that our forefathers ate in Egypt
So I don't know why a lot of my students were shocked
They were like what?
Somebody me what they said they ate the matzah in Egypt
I thought they only left with the matzah on their back
So newsflash
They ate the matzah in Egypt and they also had an on their back when they left
And that really is going to be the question now
Why is matzah lechemoni the poor man's bread
But it's also what they ate when they left Egypt as the bread of salvation
We parade the matzah around and say this is the matzah they ate in Egypt
Then we put it away the children ask why we're putting away so let's eat it
We respond uh you think you've earned it
First we need to learn what matzah is then after the story
When you've earned it then we can eat it
Meaning your job by monashtan by halakhmania is to show that
There is a contradiction over here in matzah
It's both what we eat when we're really poor
And it's what we eat when we're free
And the question is what's shot in that and at this point
And getting to the end of today
Monashtan
At this point the kid should be so upset
That the kid should just be like
You know why are we such weird people
Why can't we just like the rest of the world here
Question on the theme of the say there
The kid is so fed up with all these odd and confusing things happening
He asked the four questions
But the common denominator of the four questions is asking on the dichotomy of the night
Everything we do is used is so different
The rest of the year is one way tonight to another
Why can't we just be like the rest of the world
What makes us so different
Now I know your kid doesn't say that
Because kids don't know how to express themselves
My my daughter
God bless her but um she just says what she sees
You know I can have some of my students come over
If they have like long hair then I wouldn't keep up
So just look at mine like are you Jewish
Oh no
And they're like why are you Jewish
Because her hair looks like her girl's hair
She just straight out
Just right there
And there's nothing you can't
What do you know
You know
Put a seven-year-old girl in her place
Just gonna grin and bury that so there's still it
So kids say what they see
So they say what they see
Which is that it's so funny
How come we're dipping tonight and not other nights
How come tonight is Mott's
Other nights are
Hamlets
But
What they're asking is what they're seeing
What they're fed up
What they're like
Everything is so weird
Why are we so weird
And how do I know
That that's truly their question
Last paragraph of the night
Switching over to page six
How do I know that that's
Goofy their question
Because what is the answer given by the father
Does the father answer any of the questions directly
No he does not
What is the answer given by the father
Avadimha Yinu
Answer is on the theme of the sater
We're so different because we're servants of Hashem
We can't be like the rest of the world
Because that's just too small
Hashem took us out by changing all of nature
To show us what we are with supernatural
We're beyond time
We're beyond space
We're immortal
Tonight we find out the secret of our mortality
What the father says to his son is
Is that
Avadimha Yinu
The power we met right
When we were slaves
We were done for
We were finished
We should have expired in Egypt
We should have just
And had God not taken us out
In these other words right
Then we would still be there
Or we would have died there
But that's something crazy happened
The one who created the entire world
Looked down and said
These are my people
To represent who I am
And to bring my will
To the world
And to live with me forever
These, these slaves
And he took us out
And he lifted us up
And he told us you can't ever be like the rest of the world
You're different, you're choose
And now give a look around the world
We're so different
We're so different
We're the only people who can get murdered on October 7th
And be considered to murderers on October 8th
That's possible
How's that?
It's just not
We're the only ones that the world is constantly watching
Under magnifying glass
Not just for now
But for centuries
The world is revolved around our news
Since the beginning of the time
And it's never stopped
Why?
You guys remember there was this person
Going around asking
How many Jews do you think they're on the world
Just random people on the street
And they're like
I don't know, a billion
A few hundred million
And when they told them
No, this is about 14 and a half
15 million Jews
That's not possible
It's not possible
That they're so little amount of Jews
And yet they're just
Where everybody's obsession
We're different
And tonight we're going to learn about
The secret
Of what makes us different
And the secret to how we can be
With our shum forever
That's what we've got to go for
And then
There's other shum next week
We're going to get into
Exactly how we explain that
Hey, we're not guys
