Pesach - How Pesach can enhance my Emuna - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] we're going to learn from the book of from the teachings of Le from bich we're going to learn a small portion where he explains a part of the of the that it says next week we're going to read the yesterday the day before I have the ladies classes here and I said oh in a few days is PES so one of the lady was like oi so I said oi should be yay not oi most people you say PES they starting to dread the the moment but nevertheless yeah it should be yay you know sitting and I can't wait for PES wait eating those Matas I love the matah but anyways so I love PES such a cleansing holiday it's just you go out of PES you're like an angel no no no junko weak and no anyways so there is a verse in the in the it says this is what we're going to learn now if you want to look for follow through the book it's 1 two 3 4 five 6 7 8 n about ninth paragraph starting with you found [Music] it could be that it's a it could be it's a different version please if you remember there are four kids four boys that are asking questions now we want to understand the question of the smart one in order to understand the answer of that we not is not doing of the first we have to explain something a different concept and what is that concept you have to understand the word mat the essence of the word mat is time coming to teach us about the Renity of the world to the world there is a power that renews itself this is called renews the world every day not even every day the result that every 3 seconds the result says every 3 seconds everything gets renewed every 3 seconds these are theakim you know when we when we uh uh announce the birth of the month then there's a day hour minutes and there's also Parts says it's every 3 seconds every is every 3 seconds and every 3 seconds the whole world gets renewed every day when we pray we say every dayem recreates the world so this is called to renew so we know that this world has aades the world has something that renews everything this is AEM this power this a power of Renity coming from hasem he creates something from nothing it never existed and he creates something out of something out of nothing the word 11 comes from the word from the verse you can't miss or you can't make the de the the Judgment sour or you can't make the mat sour how do you make sure that the bread the will not become mat what's the pon what's the solution you don't let it wait too long you yeah it can only go after 18 minutes it starts Rising that's how you you're making sure in the oven yeah you have to stick it in the oven right away 18 seconds this is called 18 minutes and this is called machine is to delay how do you make something not to how do you make the the the wheat not to become KET you can delay right away you have to bake it so what do we learn from that something very interesting that is something old because it's been sitting there for already 19 20 20 80 half an hour something old if it was not old old then it would not turn into KET now KET being something old is the opposite of mat the other the the other option is mat is something that is renewed it's something very very new and he teaches us the the master of the universe gives us the the the Commandment of mat he wants to tell us in other words he's trying to tell us in other words basically telling us in other words that the matah is showing to us is hinting to us that there is a God that renews the world constantly every day and every moment he's recreating the world he's renewing the world in the way he wants to can you imagine AEM for one second saying you know what I think I'm going to renew the world but today I'm going to do it a little bit different suddenly the whole reality will be different we're going to look different everything's going to be different colors I mean just imagine that the consistency here because every moment he's renewing the world he can say you know from now on I think everything that is yellow should be blue and everything is blue should be yellow suddenly in one second everything changes just just imagine how it would mess with our reality but nevertheless we have to understand that every second there is a force that is renewing the world and the hint to that the the sign is coming from matah how do we see [Music] that when hasem took us out of Egypt took us out of Egypt and he changed so to say or manipulated the nature the water stood like a wall and many other things that happened that were in nature but it were they were changed because it's not the nature of water to stand the nature of water is to mix with all the rest of the water and to flow and and be waves Hashem took everything that's in this world he just changed its nature so the water suddenly stood like a wall and many other things that Hashem did for example in all the plagues we have in in in in nature fire and we have in nature hail hasem took the hail forget about this the fact that it came in the size of a of a of a bowling Bowl everyone you know here we have hail it's like a size like a little like a half an inch sometimes you get these big pieces of hail they're like maybe an inch just imagine The Hil that came down in M was like these huge balls but hasem made a miracle that there were fiery balls so it's a ball of ice full of fire so took the nature and just changed so to say the nature of nature all the ten command the 10 plagues they they were the nature but distorted so we do have blood in the world but the all the Waters of the rivers and everything they weren't blood there are frogs in the world but not frogs in the size of an of a dog and millions of them and there are wild animals everywhere but they're not condensed and thousands of them in urban places and so forth everything as they also say the Locust was the size of birds usually Locust is this size it says that the Locust that they came into MIT the was these huge animals I can't say animal like a sheret but nevertheless theem what he did he took nature he just magnified it and changed its way so to say when I understand in a complete way in a such an aware in such a high awareness that every moment hasem recreates the world and he controls the nature we will not move our hands and our feet we're not going to do anything not going to move our hands and feet to our body to do anything we won't do anything just whatever will bring honor respect and greatness to the name of Hashem and we have to develop fear from hem but this is not fear that I'm afraid he's going to beat me up now with a baseball bat rather fear it's called it's called an awe that I see how great AEM is and I have this unbelievable awe to him we call it fear begin why because he is the ruler he's great and he's the ruler of the world any second if hasem decid es to change one one part of creation one detail the whole world is changing and you know what people would lose their mind can you imagine now that theem decides that the sky should not be blue anymore it should be green one little change I'm not you know destroying the world I'm just making the sky green you have 7 billion people in having an anxiety right now and and one little thing we don't even notice just imagine now says you know I want to make water instead of clear they should be purple and you open out the tap and purple water comes out again 7 billion people are under stress so so we have to understand that the it says begin the means him R raav not a rabbi rather R Great huge Shalit and he controls everything so I have to develop an unbelievable a a fear from hasem because he's controlling everything but I also have to develop unbelievable love a great love when we see how much he loves us when I see how much hem loves me that should develop unbelievable love for me to him now a lot of people say I don't feel that Hashem loves me that's a problem in itself if you don't feel hashem's love but nevertheless Hashem is so great that he is showing us how much he loves us just the fact that he recreates the world every second shows us that he loves us you don't have to think that it's personal that hasem is going to come and kiss you every day but just the fact that Hashem is allowing the world to to be recreated so to say every moment and Hashem tolerates the disgusting behavior of of mankind how people go against Hashem mock Hashem and and and hurt each other and go against each other and Hashem still no I'm sureem has a very hard time looking down and seeing how we behave but we have to see from that the great love of hem now now he continues and it says so if this is the case why aren't we eating matah the whole year if you're telling me that matah is coming to represent the fact that Hashem is the ruler and controller the creator of the world so why end up eating matah every day why only once a week a year and our sages already have mentioned this question in the book of the Z and they explained it's enough for us just to get this Godly Revelation once a year we don't need to to to see to get this Revelation every day once a year year for one week it's enough to get the injection and the same idea when we're referring to to this topic but I don't understand here there's no question on the question why do we have to be so careful and cautious with 248 positive the mitv are called in the holy book of the Z 220 248 times moments wants to say advices how to come by them and with them to fear and to love the Creator the mitv are just tools how to bring me closer and to to hem in order for me to love and fear Him and what it says in the script that you should learn how to fear and to love hem all the days meaning all the days all your life all the the reason why I'm doing is to bring myself to fear God and to love God why do I need all this why we we need to bother ourselves with 63 mitz give me one Mitzvah of matah and the matah will teach me that is renewing the world every moment is controlling all the souls of anything that is alive human beings animals and so forth why do I need so many mitv just give me one Mitzvah to eat mat and that matah will cover everything and the answer is since we're going to eat right after the matah a week later we're going to eat then there's a scare that I will forget that point and the the Revelation the shine that will come from P will be an old and this is explaining this is answering the the question that the wise child had what is the there four kids that asking questions what is the question of the wise boy why do I need the mitv that are called and the that are called is testimony such as p and Shabbat testimony that something happened in the past and that don't make sense like mik and kosher and red heer the wise boy says why do we have these that are called I don't need all these give me one that is called mat I take the mat from that I learned to love and to fear hem andem that he adds some adjectives The Honorable the great the the amazing why do I need all these why do I need the mitv that are a testimony why do I need mitv that are beyond my comprehensions and why don't that are that are simple to understand that's why the sages answer to him after eating the means the you don't do the that is called after p after I don't have to eat after I will go back to and they were scared that maybe I will be following after my that I should forget so to say the that's why after the P we don't give the we don't saying basically in other words that on PES comes a very very powerful Godly Revelation throughout the week even though the night of PES is the most powerful but throughout the week is a Godly re very unique Godly Revelation that's obviously AEM thought that it's enough for us to get this one week an injection for the rest of the Year this a Shine from the world above to teach me and to give me the the awareness that the Kosh in his great Mercy recreates the world every second that should bring me to love and to fear hem to know that he has control of everything any given moments everything can change that should bring me to develop to love and to fear hem now the thing is that the reason why we're not eating the matah the whole we year because usually when it comes to do a mitvah there a the doesn't want you to do a Mitzvah now if I would only have one Mitzvah to eat matah and the will get me away from it and then what would I have I would would have anything could we eat it all you can eat there's no problem in eating a matah during the year but it's not a Mitzvah it's only a Mitzvah to eat matah on P you can eat matah all year round there's no problem with it it's actually I like eating matah it's nice like crispy and you know tastes good with salt but I can't say it's healthy but but nevertheless there's no prohibition eating matah all year long but it's not a mitvah on P you actually this is a mitvah I mean we say but nevertheless this is a Mitzvah the reason why we don't eat matah the whole year round as a Mitzvah and not having any other is only because maybe the will get me away from the Mitzvah then I'm not going to have anything but hasem says obviously our sages understand that obviously all he needs is one week to get this this Godly Revelation through the matah and that should carry carry with me the rest of the year to have the awareness about the greatness of hasem and how much he loves us by recreating the world every second and therefore I should develop love and fear from hasem by just looking at the world how hasem controls nature that could should develop fear in me and the fact that hasem recreates the world every second showing his us his unbelievable love should cause me to develop love to hasem cuz really all the are steps to reach to do one thing that's what I need to do that's why the first paragraph This is corresponding to love of and the next paragraph that's that's the whole thing sh says I only need you to develop love to hm fear to hem how do you get that I gave you 600 13 steps start climbing start climbing one after the other you'll reach to a point that you have unbelievable unconditional love and fear to hem that's why we see that the great sikim they're above the mitv they do the mitv but look at for example abah and they did the entire T without actually getting the Tor because they reached to a level of love and fear look at shim 13 years was in a in a cave he didn't have matah he didn't have Suka he didn't have lulav he didn't have any how did he do everything because he already reached to the level of love and fear that the mitv became secondary he was able to perform the the unity of the mitv in the world above without actually having the physical object so we want to develop love and fear to the K and and only can be done with with fulfilling the MIT when sometimes people come and tell you oh I love God and I'm very very religious in my heart that's very nice of you I'm sure you're a very nice individual but you will never reach to really love hem without mitv there's not such a thing and if you say that you really really love God but you're not performing mitv then your love is lacking something it's not the real real love and you're definitely not fearing God because if you would fear God you would do what he tells you to do without questioning if it's good for you or not good for you if you want to do it or not do it what do we want to take from that is that PES is the time that I charge my battery once a day you charge your phone some people charge their phone 50 times a day some people walk around with an extra battery that Shalom the phone should not go beneath the 37% but I also have a battery and that also needs to be charged and this battery is going to be charged in a week and a half on the night of SED all I need to do is bring myself to the SED with no kets burn my kets clean everything and I have to sit down for 5 6 hours during the little S I mean sometimes I say 5 6 hours people like 5 6 hours I'm not coming to your s so yeah 5 six hours so minimum so that's the time when I charge my battery what's my battery is to have this means to enlight Shem is is projecting on us this beautiful Godly light that if I am the right clean vessel so I will take this light that will carry with me for the rest of the year the power to develop love and fear to Hashem by just looking at the world look at the world and you can see the greatness of Hashem look at nature look at the love that Hashem is showing to us that should help me develop love and fear to hem and the time that I charge my battery is seven days through PES the first night which is a Mitzvah to eat matah I have to eat matah it's one of the positive mitv of p and then then the rest of the week since I'm not allowed to eat KET then it's a I eat matah and the more you eat is better because the matah feeds your amuna it feeds your health and diaspora when they have two nights and the first night the matah is the bread of amuna of faith and the second night is the bread of OFA of healing but in Israel when we have only one night the matah has the power to build your amuna in one night in one sitting you are injecting into your soul the dose of amuna of faith that you should have the rest of the year to hem most people we mentioned that many times they're they have a little bit of belief they believe that there's a God but when there's a challenge their belief goes down they don't believe God so much exists why because the challenge right now is hard so we all have challenges and the challenges will not be ER reduced or canceled or stopped till mashiah comes or till the last day that you live in this world so I needa I need to build Mya and the night to receive the power of is on that's the night that I receive that I receive the the charge the dose of faith and of course is any type of health and salvation that I need can be for the nefes can be for the Goof it's both works both way so all this we're learning that why so I can understand the importance of that night instead of saying oi it should be yay so I have 10 days what are we now Tuesday we have 10 days 11 days to prepare prepare mentally emotionally spiritually clean work on ourselves this is not the time now to to take a rest and of course I want to reach to that point of the supicious time where I will receive this Godly Revelation I will receive this do of and they should they should be very successful for each and every one of us because the the Quan that we will get is dependent on how much I prepare myself I don't want to come to LED and only get 20% of what I can get I want to prepare myself the right way that when I'm sitting at the L I'm charging my battery this is a quick charge some batteries you put them and they have to charge all night some batteries you put them in 20 minutes it's a quick charge and the battery is full I have now 24 hours on the night of PES and the morning of PES to charge my battery with with with love to hm with fear to hem and needless to say how important the preparation is let's not waste our time and make sure that we're coming to PES with open arm arms with a clean vessel to receive this unbelievable boost that will serve to us for the rest of the year to serve hasem with love and fear and that can be done when we have a lot of when we have stronga everything is done the right way should have a koser and happy p [Music]
