Ari Goldwag - Pesach - Seder-Order

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with our Eagle drag recorded with Hashem is never-ending assistance in Roma vision which is real 5778 2018 this week is the holiday of Passover Pesach is here and we have no parsha this week nor next week but I would like to share with you a thought about the about Pesach of a Passover generally and also specifically some thoughts about the Haggadah the Seder which we are all going to find ourselves enjoying this evening with our families God willing and a few insights from Irish yahshimabet pear and an insight of my own first is the concept of the Seder we call it the Seder what is the idea of the Seder why is it called a seder the word Seder means order so we have Cod a sure hot car pass yeah hots we have a whole order of things that we do we have the kiddush that we start off with we have the four cups we have the questions we have a voting Ino we have the whole description and we have the magician that the Haggadah brings and we have the Shana all right if we eat the mud so we have everything has its place everything has its order why is it that why is this night different from all of the Nights why is it that on this night we have a special concept of doing things in a specific order and that the entire evening is called the Seder which means the order what is the idea of the order in regards to Pesach in regards the Passover so memory shiva said a beautiful concept very deep idea and that is that when we think about Pesach when you think about gula we think about redemption so we think about it as something unusual we think about it as miraculous we think about it as something which is out of the ordinary or out of the normal order but Russia Shiva said that the truth is that the whole idea of Pesach the whole idea of Passover the whole idea of redemption the whole idea of the Jewish people throughout history is that there is an order a true order it's an order that we don't per se perceive or see very clearly we look at things on the surface but there is a true order the true order is gula Redemption the Jewish people in its proper state the Jewish people in exile the Jewish people in in slavery the Jewish people beholden to the nations of the world all of these are lack of order those are all things that are the way things are excuse me the way Andy that things are however they are out of order we look at ourselves we if a person lives in United States or in Europe or outside of Israel where whatever we look at or even in Israel we look at ourselves as being where we're supposed to be the Jew in exile is not where they're supposed to be even today the Jewish people within Israel we're not in the ideal situation we don't have a base HaMikdash right he also points out my master Shiva very interesting thing we speak Indian oh we say if I should have taken us out of Egypt it would have been enough if a sham would have given us a Torah I would have been enough etc etc and we end off with base of adhira a sham brought us to Israel and he built us the temple the temple was not built for 480 years after he'd say Smith shrine after the exodus from Egypt so so what is the concept what is the idea that we refer to India no the building of the base hamikdash the base of athira and he explained that that is the way it's supposed to be that is the order that is the ultimate culmination of the Exodus and it's the way things are supposed to be redemption is the state that we are supposed to be in redemption as I said that we've been waiting for but it's the the true order it's a true order okay so that's one concept a second concept that you shared had to do with HUD God yeah and I'd like to actually connect to the to the first idea and I like to bring into a third idea which is thought of my own hat gaya is a very unusual piece of literature and the Jewish liturgy we have the description we have a story we have this very interesting type of song where we keep coming back to fat guy do one goat there's a banana betrayed zeusie that father bought for to zoos him for two coins and different things happen in goat kids eat in the the cat gets chased by the dog et cetera it sounds like this childish fairytale rhyme like like I don't know why she swallowed a fly perhaps she'll die kind of story but that's not the shot at all of course everything in the in the Hagaddah is very deep and beautiful and has great depth the hot Gallo is speaking about the Jewish people Jewish people is this goat that God bought for two so to speak for two father bought which is Hashem Hashem is our Father he bought for two coins the two coins are presented to Luke lice the two the ten commandments which aren't two tablets and the the so that's what the story is about but the question that we can ask if we look at this this story is Yakka the schmuck who comes in at the end God comes in at the end and he slaughters the model how mob is he kills the the Angel of Death right check out that check out that poem that story but the hot Gallo which represents the Jewish people the one goat dies at the beginning so what's the concept what is the idea the Jewish people died at the beginning only it's not like they are resurrected at the end the Jewish people do not come back to the hot Gaggia the goat which was bought does not come back to life at the end of the story because the schmuck who comes in at the end and he does his thing and kills the obvious the angel of death that needs to be killed what is the idea what is the idea here when it comes to the hot Gaggia which represents the Jewish people and he said a marvelous Lord he said a marvelous idea and that is like this that the Jewish people for all intents and purposes I have died long ago the Jewish people have died long long ago what does that mean that means that our esteem in the nations of the world you know it used to be that the Jewish people were very very highly esteemed stuff has changed and you know it's it's we've lost that esteem for 2,000 years we've gained it back to a certain extent because we're heading into the times of googler where she was said you have to be blind not to see that we're very very close to the redemption but the idea here is that the Jewish people for 2,000 years have been dead what does that mean in in when the this in the destruction of the second temple the Romans minted a coin celebrating the capture or the destruction of the Jewish people of Judea they didn't do that for any of the other places that they destroyed or captured only the Jewish people you see that the Jewish people there's a certain she was to them that was true as long as the Jewish people lived in Israel they had a temple they had a identity that was very strong for 2,000 years we haven't had an identity we've we've been dead so to speak so what's going on so we don't we're not resurrected we don't come back to life at the end the Hat Gaddy does not come back to life at the end I could the super colossal douche borrow who God Himself comes and he said an amazing beautiful word and this is the true state this is the Seder this is the the way it's supposed to be this is what Redemption looks like well as a coda should borrow who God Himself comes when we see the Jewish people standing up coming into the Land of Israel six million strong in a very tough neighborhood continuing to exist living in the Land of Israel unafraid only afraid of God only focused on what we need to do well psycho - war whose God himself himself comes in and does the impossible brings the Jewish people back to the land of Israel himself does the impossible brings of the Messiah brings the Messiah God Himself does impossible himself builds the base of bacteria the ultimate the the temple which we've been waiting for the 3rd temple which is the final temple which God Himself will built we're waiting and waiting for that time but only I could walk who does it the the hot Gotti does not get resurrected the Jewish people is not resurrected so to speak the Jewish people has died when we come back we only come back as perfect and clear representatives of God we only come back it's really a boss ha kodesh burro who God Himself comes as it were and he shows his existence and he shows that he's the one doing everything the Jewish people are just his representatives they have nothing of their own they're there they don't get they don't come back but Haddad yeah the the one goat does not return only God Himself returns manifesting through the Jewish people openly and clearly ok so that's the idea that Myra she was shared that's the true order that's the way it's supposed to be that's what we're talking about tonight without children we're showing them the true order we have a master we have a tradition we're going back to that tradition we're reminding ourselves of the way things were and the way things are the way things were and the way things are and the way things are supposed to be ok so so here's where we get to an idea which I want to share with you a beautiful idea depth of what Pesach is what Passover is what the month of Nisan is you know on Pesach we we eat matzah Mott says left knee it's the poor man's bread it has no taste whereas very limited taste it hasn't risen it's flat it's flat pesach we we take all the hummus out of our homes we we clean out certain since we clean out our back meadows our negative character traits and we enter into pace off a very different holiday then circus and I want to share with you that suka s-- is associated with misshapen yosef with the concept of the Messiah the son of Joseph who comes Joseph at Sadiq he's the one who as Rashi says when you're safe is born she tells us he's the one who is the sick Michele Asaph he's the counterforce of Esau who manifested today in the Western world he's the one who destroys the facade the facade of a beauty of the world let's say Joseph himself was very beautiful he's very handsome but all of that aspect all of what circuses in a certain sense we know we know that it's associated with the OSI because that's when we speak about the Armageddon the war of Gog and Magog we read about that after some circus and so Joseph comes to destroy the order as we have it today which is a world of hierarchy which is a world where beauty rules where all the things all of the things the leavening the ego the the things that we experience as having energy the dross to them that's the key that's very key here all of the things that have energy that draw us to them beauty Tyva the the desire for for relations the desire for food the desire for honor all these things are the leavening it's the it's it's a lot of hot air it feels very real once you get it once you achieve that it feels very empty that's all connected to sukhasana chef ben Yosef but what I want to focus on obviously is pace off which is connected to mushiya happened Ovid what is idea I'm a chef when David what is the idea of Pesach dominum Elif King David his name denotes the idea of paisa the idea of the leavening being completely missing the idea of the matzah no nothing of his own Leslie magar Mia Klum is the language of our huzzah Lorrie sages lesson your Grammy Comey has nothing of his own dove it is dolla dolla Dallas the Dallas Dallas means which is the foundation of his name to two-letter dollars the word Dallas the letter dalet represents complete poverty nothing he has nothing of his own he's like the moon there's no light of its own she has no light of her own right she just reflects the light of the Sun the matzah has no leavening it has no energy around it it's just very simple food it's extremely simple it's just flour and water there's no leavening there's nothing to cause it to grow we bread the bread is a certain taste sugar sometimes it has eggs sometimes it has it has shape it's it's light it's easy to eat the matzah the matzah is flat its flat two ingredients flour and water that's it gone through the fire very quickly comes out matzah very simple the idea of Pesach is simplicity i ago and I'd like to mention again well what happened in the garden an amazing thing Ottoman cava Adam and Eve in the garden they were unclothed there was no embarrassment there why was their own no embarrass embarrassment from being unclothed the answer is because there was no energy it was like the matzah it wasn't like the bread where you have this buildup of hot air of desire this pole there's no pole yeah I haven't even the garden they did what was right because it was right there wasn't there was no ulterior motives there was no alt there was nothing else pulling them the food in the garden had no taste had no taste so Gomorrah in cyka which I mentioned previously the s rook is Tom Ince they appear each other what's the it's it the etrog that we have on soku's interestingly the taste of the fruit and the taste of the tree are the same what does that mean and we're not talking about the fruit the citrus part inside which is very small we're talking about the thick skin which has no taste excuse me well thick skin which has no taste that's the taste of the fruit in the garden what do you mean wasn't it the most delicious exquisite fruits in the garden no it wasn't that wasn't the concept there was it taste was it that I'm saying it was it was just was it just was we in the garden Adam and Eve they did their thing they ate the fruits they just were they they had relations it just was there was no energy around it it wasn't this awesome crazy pole it just was that's the matzah the matzah is the way it's supposed to be the seder is the way it's supposed to be the way it's supposed to be is a state of just is a Shems name you'd keep of k the true name of Hashem is just is that's what a shams name means it means to be Shem what the name you'd give up it means he was he easy always will be but how ya over yet but it also means that for God all times are the same God just is right in our true state we just are we get a taste of that on Shabbos on Shabbos we just are everything is prepared from a for we just enjoy there's not so much energy around it there's not so much energy around it I'm pays off is that is the deepest time when we come back to a place to a state that just is we eat the food the food that we eat on Pesach the mat so that we eat is the taste of GaN Eden it's the taste of what it's like in the Garden of Eden we do it just because we eat the matzah just because and that's the way it's supposed to be and it doesn't have a lot of taste and it doesn't have a lot of pull and and you know if you're if your home is like mine so we've been we've been cleaning and we've been running and we've been preparing and getting ready and we and now it's quiet now it's quiet of course now it's gonna be quiet and it's beautiful that pacer falls out on Shabbos this year because both Pesach and Shabbos have this aspect of course the month of Nisan as I've mentioned is the seventh just like Shabbos is the seventh day the month of Nisan is this seventh month starting from Russia Shona Hashanah is Tishrei we count six months and then the seventh is Nisan and that's Shabbos this is the month of the creation of the world the world was created in concept in Tishrei and the world was created actively by Hashem whatever this means in Nisan this is the month of creation God rested God rested at the beginning of Nisan when he created the whole world he started in the end of either 25 the 25th day of either he completed it the first day of Nisan man was created and here we are mean son is a time of a ship and of it she has been dubbed the Messiah the son of David returns us to the state of left a mining which turns us to a state where everything is shava yesh Davos everything is equal everything is done just because there's no excitement there's no there it's not it's not this running it's not this it's not this need pole pole it's just doing because that's what we do is just doing me because that's what we do I don't need a reason even that's them that's the matzah that's the return to the garden that is the aspect of of the fruits of GaN Eden that's the aspect of just because that's this and that's the Seder that's the way it's supposed to be that's the way it's supposed to be you know in in the play Maka's McClure's so the tenth of the plays the killing of the firstborn there was this aspect because the the Jewish people were no different than the Egyptians the Egyptians served idolatry did you serve the dollar tree the Jews were you know they didn't have too much they were slaves they had been there for 210 years in Egypt they had completely become submerged and assimilated into the Egyptian culture but what was different what was different between what was the difference between the Jew and the Egyptian they looked the same they dressed the same they sounded the same at the same Gyptian accents the difference was that the Jews were chosen by God the Egyptians were the oppressors it was just because the Jews were chosen just because it's not it's not because of a great merit of the Jewish people that God chose us it's not because we're smarter though that may be true it's not because we're you know there's no reason God chose us just because that is who we are that is the foundation of what Pesach is that's the foundation of the mots of the months represents that that's the foundation of what we're sitting down to teach our children tonight the true order who we are just because we are chosen by God just because we were slaves just because this is all the Seder this is all truly this is how we understand that even that which is not Seder for three thousand three hundred years that's how long it's been since the Jewish people receive the Torah the three thousand three hundred years there's been a lot of times where things are not the Sator we're not in order but that's also God that's also truly at the depth of it that's what we're looking for and Pesach is that's the truth of the way it's supposed to be and we're waiting for the time when we we see clearly that that what is the true Seder when it's obvious to everyone the world that the true Seder is Google Redemption that the true Seder is the Jewish people being in their homeland being in Israel the Jewish people keeping the Torah the Jewish people fulfilling their mission and representing God in the world nothing of their own well sabka the Chamorro who God coming and manifesting clearly through us because just because that is the true order so I want to bless you and ask you to bless me I should help us that we should be able to be b'seder to get into this place of true order to find the true depth the place of no taste the place of just because the place of Hashem manifesting in our lives thank you so much for listening have a
