Pesach Perspectives Part 6 Setting your Priorities Right Rabbi Paysach Krohn

[Music] so I just want to review everything that we said and then end with a personal story let's remember the he Shonda she will hold over there I need Emily know the holiday know it's not only the sword it's a smile and that's what we have to keep our guard up Borja Morgan Murphy Schwab told us why do we say I'm welcome because sometimes we look at a child and we'll take it oh my gosh how did this happen and just remember how look and God is always there never give up boro boro boro boro every child you never know who can be the great one coulomb Activa cotton Yagami men oh that's right of lucifer ever gave the children the matzah because he realized that our mana was right let's remember what Rob Isaac Bernstein told us at the beginning of the Seder we don't only talk about how we got out how did we get in we got in because the brothers did that sign is possum that Rashi and Malaysia tells us is Karpis so makes no difference what you use for car press what car bus that 16 is possum and we have to tell our children that we have to love each other we have to love every year regardless of their level of religiosity we're all brothers and sisters let's remember the younger of pace officer honest that's all we have to give moist feet them that's what we have to invite people early on that's what we have to make sure that the children have a place to go and they feel important like a flame Zalman understood let's remember the rivers Montes how the school enna gave to everyone but the shared vision it says saved - ramat us for the river because he understood that it probably gave away all the best matters to other people how do we feel that we went Adam and Ryan like our Schwab's arm the cells are not the same but the DNA is the same because we all recharged and reversed and regenerated over the generations and finally let's remember the mattes the mantras are not just mats at their faces and that's why this rupture younger felt that he needed a tee code but these are clean and l'viyah man yesterday Lemann they come to the Seder that we should do a mitzvah with them we are the Kalin of braja clan lavey Israel our lives have to be sources of Mitzvah I just want to end with this story some of you know that I've had this course to write a number of Magadh books and mr. Sokol my dear friend he remembers we had mr. osa right who taught us how to write right and but really I learned that from mr. older but I learned from my mother but miss Elsa was also good but anyway so unfortunately my father passed away when I was 21 and I was very very close to my mother she was a widow never for 40 long years and when I started writing the first thing that I wrote was the book for art's role on Bruce Mila and then it occurred to me to write the stories of the Margit of your show lion and that's why the first of the books of stories was called the maggots piece the Margot of course was up sean/sharan unfortunately he had come to America he stayed in our home for six months he was like a brother to my father and my father went to Eretz Israel to see him afterwards and then when my father came back from where to show he got sick and he passed away but I've shown hard run felt so close to the family and he knew how awful it would be for a family to be without a father father figure at the Seder table and so he came to us for Pesach which is hard to believe he left his family in Eretz Israel and he came to us a visa and it was Saturday night that year was the first Seder now Saturday night when the seder starts it's always very late why because usually if it's a midweek you can make all the preparations but high rises and the more are and anything else the salt water you could do it in the afternoon would you not want to do that on Shabbos you can't prepare for Coyle even if it's yontiff so all the preparations begin after Shabbos so to say that starts very late so now the seder started very late that night and I knew dr.schultz are drawn the market of your Shalom has only one Seder because it is in Israeli and there were children at the table grandchildren and everybody is talking the director they want to sing their songs and I knew that our sean/sharan had told me that he had never since he was a young boy never eaten the African man if the HUD says after illogically hot days and I see that the Seder is sloughing because every kid has got to say the mannish town and every kid has got to say all the different Agra and show all the great how goddess that they made so I said in English to my mother not thinking that he would understand I said ma we got a rush yeah I didn't want to say the word afikomen but she understood but Robshaw I also understood and he pokes me on the side and he says to me in Yiddish Isles on it don't rush I didn't think he understood what I meant but now that he understood I said I've shown that cause he gives up I'll document I told you don't rush okay I feel terrible because I see it's impossible there's no way with the meal and all that we're going to finish before God sighs so finds I didn't say another word until the meal and the meal why quote my mother's eye and I motioned to her right not saying anything and somehow he saw it again and again he pokes me a hunting exhaust I told you I'll doclet don't rush ok listen he knows what he's doing he realizes what I'm doing and that night for the first time in his life he ate dr. Kleinman after car chase after the seder is a very beautiful meaning to say Shishir him he and I are sitting at the table everybody's asleep already was saying Shyam together and I take Emma near the shop Shalom I just want to ask you apology you know I feel terrible because you once told me that you never ate the Arthur Kleinman if the cut size and now because of my family you ate dr. claman after context I feel terrible it says in year this Travis fresh taste on it why don't you understand I said well understand what he said to me where your priorities I said what priorities he says your mother's and I'm honor your mother's a widow what does she wait for what is the most important night of the year for her when our children and grandchildren come and they sit at the table and they're singing all the songs from the Haggadah and they're telling over the divet IRA this is what she waits for if I were to rush the Seder just I should be able to eat the afikomen I would be Messire I would give paintin our mana giving pain turn our mothers at their riser eating the afikomen before hots aces their opponent we are your priorities I'm telling you he blew me away that's what a girdle is that's what a great person is in the same priorities of course we have to try obviously to finish the Seder at least that part so we should eat dr. Cameron before hot ace but we have to be sensitive that's what you are all about that's what pay staff is all about it's not only to pass over but it's to have Rock - David should help that each one of us should be able on this yontiff to be able to make sure that the children understand and we understand what freedom is what festivity is and what family is all about because we're really one big family thanks for inviting me and thank you for listening [Applause]
