hagada then please go to artscroll.com or go to better farm stores near you where this safer is currently available so I received the call this morning and the question was we already have the safer in Nissan PESA is there any difference between the Lush State Fair and the English safer so it's interesting and a very important question actually the safer on pesach in Los Angeles was published in tough Shin pay so this is uh three years later so whatever new ideas will appear in the English edition that did not make it to the Russian Edition but in general just to explain fundamentally this Farm are very different the Hebrew safer is written as uh mamaram so it's long essays in-depth essays and the subject matter is Nissan pesach and hagada Shop so there are morim on the importance of each day of Nissan there are mamarim on whether you say the reason we don't say there are mamarim on the significance of berghas Illinois there are mamarim on the hagada on pesach in general foreign so fundamentally the storm are very different and since it's a safer on hagada the pieces are somewhat shorter now there are introductory essays in the beginning of the safer and there are closing essays at the end of the safer but the essays on the haggad itself are briefer in order to facilitate making use of them in the course of recitation of the Haggadah so even the information that is similar in the English as in the Hebrew is presented differently in English it's presented more concisely I want to thank my dear friend Dr Chaya Moeller who helped me prepare the trans the manuscript of this work and he worked very diligently working off uh some of the shoe rib and personal discussion and he really put in tremendous Amelia Smith so we thank Moller for all of his hard work and for

are mashedative in our efforts so aside from the difference in the fundamental nature of these two safarim I want to share with you some insights that made it into the English safer that uh we're not around in the times of the Russian safer actually one of them was such a late addition it came and was printed as the safer was was being published there's a very well-known question of replying brisker rochheim salavechik regarding what is unique about the Mitzvah of supreme after all the hagada itself includes the teaching of rebels said um teaches that every single night of the year one is obligated to remember the events of itsis so then the question is if every single night of the year one is obligated to remember the events of utsius what is significant and what is special about the Mitzvah of every single night of the year we have a Mitzvah of zahiras utsias mitzrayim moreover why would the Haggadah even include the teaching of an Azaria that every night of the year we are obligated to remember and imagine to remember the events of each salesman's rhyme how is that relevant to the Mitzvah of the night of the Sedar uh this is the question of briskar and and it's quoted in the safer amec bracha in the name of the briskarov said that there are three fundamental differences between the Mitzvah of super existence every night of the year you just have to remember and mention the story The Night of the state there there's a special format with which you have to remember the events that format is question and answer uh and you're going to answer him in other words it must be in a question and an answer format that is one unique facet of the Mitzvah of zahiras of Cipro is then another difference is every other night of the year you just have to mention the facts Hashem took us out of Egypt however the night of the cedar you have to say the whole story from beginning to end so it's not enough just to tell the story you have to start from the beginning and you have to go to the very end by the way there's an interesting Insight I saw recently from the Vilma going why is it so critical to be masculine Hashem why do we have to go back to the very beginning that we were the Zara we were idolaters what is the purpose of that what is the function of that and the vulner going says well the night of the stay there we have to display and recognize that we're grateful for taking us out of Egypt but what does it mean taking us out of Egypt there were two dimensions of Galas there was a physical Galaxy and there was a spiritual Galas there's a Galas so therefore in order to properly fulfillment it's not enough just to talk about the bondage and the subjugation and the slavery but we also have to talk about the spiritual bondage namely that is so again that is the second unique facet of zahiras of separate systems and then thirdly replying would say every other night of the year it's enough just to say the story but the night of the Savior we have to expand the upon the reason for the midsize of pesachmata Amara and would say this is the very structure of the it starts off that really Revelation says there's a Mitzvah every single night so in that case what is unique about say their night and the answer is number one no question and answer number two we have to begin with the disparagement and end with the praise and number three the reason for the midsize and humbly we can suggest perhaps there are other answers to this question of briskar namely what is unique about the Mitzvah of since past years and in the Hebrew safe air we bring that even though the safer had tijbi writes that the source of the word hagada is nevertheless that is not unanimously held because the abujraham says the word Haggadah comes from the Posse of micro bikurim of higarette which is translates I thank you in other words we're now learning that the Mitzvah of Haggadah of separated is fundamentally different than the midst of zahirah the hero is merely to remember the events and to remember the details but there's a special mix for the night of the say there to display gratitude to Express gratitude to feel gratitude like others the word means gratitude that's a fundamentally different fulfillment of a Mitzvah and and maisa Mitra then just zahira every other night of the year it's Remember the Night of the say there is gratitude but then I discovered that there are other definitions of the word hagana foreign that on the passage meaning to demonstrate to display to show it doesn't mean to relate to narrate one is required to display to show to reenact we use the items that they use when they left right words alone are not enough it's important to display it's interesting that remote once said that's the meaning of Magid Devar of lyakov um that other nations of the world they merely give over the facts the dry hard cold facts but the the cloud Israel we have to demonstrate we have to show this I believe would be an answer to abrahim's question what's the difference between the nightly Mitzvah of zahirah and the midst of the night of the say there the answer is every other night of the year it's enough to remember it's enough merely to be Zohar but the night of pesach there is no Mitzvah to remember the Mitzvah is to display to show to demonstrate this is the approach that we could offer based on the comments of Shem Ishmael and then as the safer was going to print and I was learning parisha's body on the posit before the higarette Rashi says an incredible interpretation Rashi says this teaches you Atta that you should initiate to him the divrey algodo with words of agada heart now I'll tell you the truth I've seen this Rashi many times and I never it never hit me it never occurred to me the import of what Rashi is telling us Raj she says that Rashi is telling us that the Mitzvah of Haggadah the Mitzvah is not to say the story Deliverance is not to relate the events they're actually saying you need to open up for the child you know why is called agada says Agoda is a language of drawing pulling the purpose of agarita is it draws the heart it draws on the heartstrings of the audience of The Listener and therefore the night of the sea there there's no regular merely to remember the events the Mitzvah is to draw on the hearts of the children pull on their hearts to initiate to open like we have the concept good good let's say you have a wall and it doesn't extend all the way up and it doesn't extend or it doesn't extend all the way down so you say good answer you through a principle of tamusic analysis you extend the world the world the world upward or downward likewise the midst of Haggadah is to draw on the heartstrings of the child to pull on his heart this perhaps would answer upheim's question wanted to know what is the difference between zakiraim every night of the year in the midst of Leo say that the answer is there is no Mitzvah to Remember the Night of the Seder the Mitzvah is to draw the hearts of the children to the Mitzvah the the the events of yitzias the trim so these are two ideas that are not mentioned in the State Fair in Los Angeles I'll tell you a little secret we have uh many essays of substantial size but I wanted to put in something brief so I put in a few shorter ideas one of them appears on Anya and I'll let you take a look at that particular idea but we put in a short idea on the Manish tana and I'm going to share with you what that is but first I I want to again thank the sponsor of tonight's evening chickens for Shabbos please go to the Adelie as our site hit the icon for amanoise malamdim and support those in Cloudy so who need at the most you know it's very important this time of the year we have the Mitzvah of them and the question is you know by every yamtif the rambam says that if somebody's just Miss America with their own family and does not try to bring joy to others that's not if that's um Indulgence that's just a person indulging their own uh desires so what is unique about the Mitzvah of that it exists only for the antifa pesach and there's a important idea says that well we commit ourselves in the say there to feed the hungry we say called but what kind of commitment is that what kind of Promise is that what kind of gesture is that it's an empty gesture the doors are locked the windows are shuttered so how can we say called the answer is the only way we could address that is by giving them before pesach this way we ensure that all the poor have food for the antifa pesach and if they no longer have uh resources when it comes pesach time we've sort of discharged our our own obligation I once heard from a woman in the name of the vilnigon that the Mitzvah of them is actually a dimension of the mitza of matzah because you could ask what is doing in the midst of sadaka so shouldn't it it's interesting the garage is reputed to have said the success is for seven days should be eaten at uh for seven days the first time that it says you should eat matzo it says it's the word matsues is the second time when it says you should ensure that Nazis be eaten is spelled Malay with above and the girl explained as follows when it comes to your personal obligation to eat matzah then you eat matzah and whatever the sheer is you should eat that sheer however when it comes to ensuring that other people is to indicate that when it comes to feeding masses to others then one has to do so with uh great generosity and to make sure that you do um with a lot of nedivas now the Mitzvah of um is very important and therefore please again go to the other side and hit the icon for uh gunois gurus and malamdem I want to talk about the manistana manustan is probably the highlight of the Seder and it's very important to us that the children ask questions we engage in so many unusual practices in order to elicit questions from the children says that rabi Akiva would distribute treats on our pesach to keep their children awake the gemara says that we grab matzois from the children to get the children to ask Rashi interprets heitzman matzah we raise the kaara or we eat expeditiously and the children ask for very detailed questions why do we eat Mara why do we lean why do we dip and the question is we don't really answer them I mean maybe Ram gam Leo explains the reason for her matzah but maybe marar but we never come back to why we dip or why we lean and ramosa Shapiro brings an amazing remnants from the ramami Pano and he brings that the word matzah has gamachu of 135. and it's interesting of the four Sons the Russia asks for him the Tom asks mazois so Mama now he doesn't ask anything so 45 times 3 is 135 matzah in other words the Ariza taught that matzah is the answer to the questions of the sons is the answer to the question merely by eating the matzah that imbues us with the amuna that is necessary while before we we may have had questions by eating the matzah the matzah the Muna then the questions dissipate with a Muna there are no questions there are no answers so this is a a beautiful thought that is brought in the English the new English hagada then I want to take you to the end of the Haggadah to nirsa and you know it always bothered me what exactly is nirta why do we have near so what is the purpose of nirtsa we have all these pyutim and all these songs what what is it why is it part of the Corpus of the Haggadah what is its objective in the the night of the say there and perhaps we could offer the following suggestion we know that matzo is called and in this humble Haggadah we explain many different perushim and says you speak a lot about namely matzah and brother you speak a lot about what do you speak what do you say the hagoda and Halal and we explained that this might be a reason why women are Hive in the midst of separates matrium even though it's a Mitzvah shazman grama but perhaps because it is but we brought another uh pay Rush that may be the source that are Samar says of why we have to say the Parsha of micro bikurim the night of the Sedar because it's blackham that you say Ania over what parasha of Ania is there the parasha of mikro bikurim where it says the Anisa the amarta the Anisa the America however we suggest by quoting the ritva there might be another perush in the words that we have to say the micro bikuru in parasha with song not just to say it because Anisa refers to song like it says Miriam shiru lashem now we no longer have this madrish but we could trust the words of the ritva who's preserved the comments of this matter for posterity points out that if we learn it out from Miriam didn't sing the Shira with the Trap has to be said with Trump however simply Miriam didn't sing this year with Trump she saw it sang it as a song and therefore simply if the Ritz was saying we have to say micro bikurim with song it means with a tune a song not trap in that case perhaps we we understand the new reason for the kalak of raksa in the Haggadah namely since it says about matzah it's bread that you speak about a lot and Aniyah refers to song so perhaps we do not fulfill Our obligation of until we sing over the masses so therefore we end off the Seder with many many pyutim and that is the Fulfillment of that you sing about now I want to share with you one little uh addition that we added to this uh which with the help of Hashem I hope is and that is we bring an idea and this we spoke about many times in the past how the 10 Marcos upheld and authenticated the ten statement with which Rojo created the world and we brought from abdavid coin that the fifth statement of creation which was Taja asev masri Azara eats Paris Supreme and just like when Hashem created the food trees the fruit trees did not quite listen it wasn't AIDS the locusts similarly did not listen to Hashem and while the locusts were directed but instead of eating the tree it says but an amazing symmetry that occurred to me during the course of the year before this had got the one to print after already the Hebrew was printed is barad corresponds to the sixth statement of creation the pasik of bharad corresponds to the creation of um now it's interesting the rakia was the creation of shamayam shamayam is fire and water now Rashi says about the bharad it was Ace it was nice it was fire burning within the barad so the same way there was fire and water together in the barad why did that have to be why did Hashem have to make anesthenes what was the what was the talus of making anes the tarkness the answer is in order to uphold the statement of creation of Ayer malikimi hirakia which was the creation of shamayim and the shamayam is in order to uphold that and authenticate that and verify that the Bharat had the exact same uh wondrous phenomenon as the creation of shamayim which was and finally in the chapter at the end of the safer we have a wondrous mammar called the birth of the Jewish people and we discuss how many Mitzvahs are performed the night of the stay there soham says on account of the 12 Mitzvahs that we performed the night of the Seder Hashem took us out of what are they the four cups of wine four cups of wine says car passed well it seems like that forgot the most important Mitzvah the mitsu mentioned by that very passive answers that the the Avatar was only counting Mitzvahs mice was performed with action but separate season time is Deborah we're not counting the midst that were performed with dibor and then the question is and if we we would count all the missiles that are performed with Deborah how many missiles would there be the night and stay there and brevda writes that there was a rebbe in the city of Mir Who quotes that if you would count all the missiles that we performed the night that say they're including debor we would arrive at 64 mid-slice the night of the say there but recently I came across a conscious called Mitzvahs below written by Rushmore in which he compiled all the Mitzvahs and merits one can amass the night of the Seder and the number of mitzvoices of it's a staggering number 168 what an incredible opportunity the night of the say there is 168 midsize more Mitzvahs than Rosh Hashanah more missus then Yom Kippur more missiles than any other night of the year so ashranu NATO if you gave us this wondrous evening and I thank all of you for joining us this uh these ideas can be found in the new Haggadah this is available at artscrawl.com you could get the Hebrew safer on our site Rabbi dg.com I want to thank hazak ravilan merov ravian Robbie aboff for hosting tonight's event I want to thank chickens for Shabbos please again go to the adelia's our site even if

open up new vistas of understanding on the hagada did you ever wonder is there any significance to the precise number of words on the Haggadah why do some tanoam only appear at the beginning of the Haggadah and our absence in the beginning of the Gada where's Raven Gamaliel at that historic say there in benebra and why does he only return at the end of the hagada why in the beginning of the Haggadah does it give the reason for matzah to remember the bread we ate while we were enslaved and on the end of the Haggadah it gives a completely different reason why would the hagada begin Israel and endless how is that thematic all of these questions and more you will find new insight in the new Haggadah published by Art scroll the seat of the shmaya we hope you enjoy you've just experienced
