How the Right Questions Can Transform Your Seder and life (מה נשתנה)

Answering questions, having questions and then answering those questions leads one to a much greater clarity than where today they just understood the fact itself. I'll give you an example. The Talmud, the Jerusalem Talmud, is a lot more factual than the Babylonian Talmud, which is why it's much shorter. It pretty much kind of lays out the You'll have questions, but not that elaborate. When it comes to the Babylonian Talmud, you're going to have questions. You're going to have an answer. That answer is going to be refuted, and we're going to try to bring a different answer that has perhaps a more legitimate source with less conflict. And you ultimately get to the conclusion in the Babylonian Talmud. Sometimes it would be a different conclusion than the Jerusalem Talmud. And generally speaking, when there's a conflict between the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, the ruling follows the Babylonian Talmud. And the reason is because it came through work. It came through effort. And when there was that effort exerted rather than the facts just being laid down for you, what comes from there is an incredible clarity. Theidus calls this orer as opposed to or it's something that we've been empowered to experience as opposed to just been spoonfed. And this is what pes is pes we try to taste and experience freedom but we have to work to those toward those that freedom which is why we open the seder with questions and specifically four questions because we have to have questions. We have to have something that bothers us that's on our mind that we're trying to figure out so that the Exodus cannot just not just hold experience the Exodus but we can actually experience it within when we have a real question the answer can be incredibly incredibly meaningful. I saw a teaching from the labba. He explained that the first night of Pesak and the second night as well outside of Israel. We discussed questions and the last night of Pesak in Israel, the second to last night outside of Israel, we discuss crossing the Red Sea, the sea had split for us that night 7 days later. When we have questions and we have answers and we work through that process, we can have so much clarity that the sea splits through for us. we could just see right through the the concealment and and kind of bogus of life. And this is what Pesak is all about. It's not just being fed faith, but it's about developing faith within through asking questions so we can in turn develop incredible clarity. The midrash says that when Yakov Ainu was running away from Lavan and he was doveting, he said a pak tollim in chapter 121. He said, "I lift my eyes up to the mountain. Where's my help gonna come from? If I look up to the mountains and look up to the heavens, where is my assistance going to come from? Hashem, my assistance will come from Hashem." And the midrash explains that he went through this process in a question answer dialogue and because of that he was comforted and and had the clarity that he needed. I saw from the Yahoo Miko says something interesting. Every single year we're asking the same questions, the same four questions. And in another video we'll discuss why those four questions are fundamental and why those are important. But his question is why are these four questions the same question that we have a child and prompt children to ask? It's the same questions that adults have been asking for many many years. How could a child be bothered by the same thing that an adult is bothered? How could it be relevant to both ages? The age gap and discrepancy seems to be very small here. So the milo says that's what emis is. When it comes to emis when it comes to truth doesn't matter if you are young and if you're new doesn't matter if you're old and if you're experienced truth is truth. These are the questions that we have and we'll discuss in another video why these questions are so fundamental and the clarity that they bring us. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
