Reliving the Pesach Experience - Mr. Charlie Harary

one of the most confusing times in my life was when i first started working for a law firm law firms are complex environments they're not companies with like a hierarchy ceo and down there law firms there are hundreds of partners everywhere you don't know which partners are the more powerful ones and not powerful ones that can help your career not help your career and when i first started working i started working for this one partner who i thought was going to take me so to speak to the career goal line he was put together crisp white shirts designer blue suits he had a roman numeral after his name you know the type walked into a room and owned it always had something smart and i worked for him all the time whatever he needed i was there because i thought he would really take care of me i relied on him and in that group there was another partner a little bit older a little bit quieter listened more than he spoke didn't dress as as as cool didn't own the room i never really took him as seriously well two months in we're having this company-wide event and i'm speaking to a senior partner in a different group and he says what group are you and i tell them and he says well oh that group so-and-so's group and i said yeah he's in that group but you know i really work a lot with this guy he stops and he goes yeah it gets a little bit of a hothead but that other guy yeah the whole fur listens to that guy and as he's saying that i felt this angst because i had relied on this first guy and i had missed the second guy like i'm thinking what what was i thinking like it was a respectful attempt i listened to him and i'm trying to go through every single conversation i ever had with him to think that i just messed myself up by relying on the wrong guy [Music] in many ways that's what's going on right now there's an angst in the world there's an angst in our minds and that angst is coming from something with the angst really is is that for our whole lives we've relied on the material world on the physical world we rely on doctors for our health and employees for our livelihood and the government for our security what we're seeing from this is that there are some incredible heroes what's going on in the medical community and the emergency community they're heroes beyond belief these are the greatest people in the world but they're humans and they're trying their hardest but they can only do so much what we're seeing right now is the material the world saying we're trying we're trying we're trying but we're limited and all of a sudden we're realizing that while we can interact with them and work with them and engage in them and try our hardest in that world if we rely on them they can't deliver for us right now what's happening right now is that there's another world that we've interacted with the spiritual world with the creator of the universe and for many years we've sort of played to that world right of course we pray but like when the boss walks and then i get nervous like of course i ask for help but when the doctor says you'll be okay then i feel okay like of course i ask for security but when everything works out in the government right that's where my emotions went of course what's happening now is this angst that i believe is taking place internally which is i may have relied on the wrong party because i can only rely on god he's the only one that can save us that can take care of me at this level [Music] this isn't just what happens to us now this is actually happened to the jews in egypt this is passover because in egypt the jews realized that they had to make a choice egypt which is the epicenter of civilization and culture and philosophy and medicine or follow god out into the desert with nothing with no food or water and rely on him the choice that took place in passover was the shifting of relying on the physical world to the spiritual world of learning how to interact with the physical world without relying on it and learning how to really rely on god that x that we feel was the angst the jews felt passover isn't hollywood commemorating anymore passover's holiday where we're living right now and the question that we have to ask ourselves as we prepare for passover it's not just a matzah and wine and another prepare for passover here's the real preparation am i gonna spend my time trying to continuously grasp the fiscal world more news more news more news more news more news or am i going to spend my time now starting to develop a deeper relationship in the spiritual world where is god what does he want of me what is he asking of me what does he mean what can i do to interact more to get deeper to be more spiritual to learn more about his world my heritage we right now have an opportunity to not only remember the jews of egypt to relive the egyptian experience and to be able to be the same types of people that god took out of egypt but today faith and trust [Music]
