This Torah class is brought to you by
tora
anytime.com. Okay. Every
year, every year when Pes comes and we
begin the
Sedar, get together with our families
and we're sitting around the table and
we begin to say their we say this is the
bread of affliction that we ate in
Mim and our hearts are a flame. We're
yearning for the gul. We
say this year we're
here is next year in
Jerusalem. Every year as we recount the
as we recount the redemption from Egypt.
So we're we inspire ourselves to yearn
for the
gulma we were redeemed
in. We're destined to be redeemed in.
And yet year after year even though we
say every year we say
And
nevertheless of our like the noi says of
our gula hasn't come yet. Mhm. Gula
hasn't come yet. And on the one hand
we're yearning and on the other hand we
ask ourselves you know what's going on?
What's taking so long? What's taking so
long? Exactly.
So we think perhaps it's because we're
not yearning enough. We don't want it
enough. However, the tells us something
very
important and tells us that in the
generation of the second B mikdash after
all were suffering the destruction of
the second B mikdash till
today people were learning Torah they
were doing mitzvah and the B mikdash was
destroyed because of the sin of sin
baseless
hatred and therefore it's quite obvious
that if these sins were able to destroy
the bdash Certainly they're strong
enough to make sure that it will it's
not going to be rebuilt until we rectify
these aos. So writes in number two three
lines from the
bottom
if we need to strengthen ourselves to
rectify this
sin to be careful not to stumble in the
sins of hatred and the sins
of tells us four frightening words. He
says
How long do we have to be in Galas for?
How long? Yeah, but you have to
understand, you know, you expect us to
be not human. You know, you and talk and
gossip
and and nothing going to happen. It's
like it's not going to disappear no
matter what unless comes and change
everything. Look, um we have to do our
um we have to do whatever we can.
And points out that even though the
garra says the garra doesn't say it's
impossible to be careful from lash and
har the garra just says in general it's
something that most people do but it is
within our ability to correct. We have
the ability and the proof we have the
ability otherwise Hashem would never
tell us not to do it. The fact that
hashem he created us if he created us he
it means he knows we could rectify it.
We could fix it. A clear question. Yeah.
uh the Sheena never rested on the second
B of Mikdash. So we're still yearning in
some ways from the first. Correct. And
even though the Gumar says in Yuma that
the was not present in the second B
mikdash, nevertheless there are other
sources that there there was in the
second B mikdash. So the concept of is
very hard to define. There are many
levels of one gumar says you need 10
Jews bring down the one gar says you
need 22,000 Jews. One gumar says you
need 600,000 Jews. So there many
different levels of so there some level
of was not existent in the second B
mikdash. Okay fine. So what are we
seeing from here is that for the gula to
come for the redemption to come it's not
enough to want it to come. It's not
enough. You have to do something about
what caused the destruction. I mean
until we rectify the causes, it's not
coming. How long going to be in gy time
until we rectify it? Till we rectify it.
And he points out even further. Imagine
if we get an announcement. Messiah is
here and all the Jews have to make
donations to build the third temple. So
everybody would take out their wallet,
their checkbook, credit card, you know,
whatever. charge it to the max, right?
Everyone would be very willing to make
donations. So says we don't need
donations. God doesn't want our
donations. He wants us to fix the
problem. the problem of lashhara, the
problem of baseless hatred, the the
problem
of and therefore you would expect the
night of pes where we're yearning for
the gula where we want to we want to
recount how redeemed us from that exile
and we're praying that God bring us back
to we would think there would be some
mention somewhere in the hagada about at
least to waken up our minds waken up our
hearts to rectify the problems of
of you think there'd be something we do
the night of Pes to make us think, hey,
what are we still doing in Galos? Why
are we still here? Why hasn't the temple
been built? And yet, looking
superficially at the the Sedar and all
the different services we do and all the
different mitzvos we do, it would seem
superficially that there's nothing that
really awakens up us to think what we're
still doing in the gullus. But we're
going to try to take a more careful
look, a more analytical look. And if we
look very carefully, we'll see that the
seder is full of mitzvah, full of items
to really make us think why we're still
here. But why are we still sto still in
galas? We begin with aic issue that
is during
um the when machines were
invented when the industrial revolution
and machines were invented. So the
question arose you know until that po
until that point obviously all matzah
was made by hand. People would sift the
flour, knead the dough by hand, bake
everything by hand. That's the way it
was done. And the question was raised
once machines came out, are you allowed
to use machine mata for the sedar? Now
certainly for the days of pes you could
use machine matzah as long as you're
sure there's no there but for the sedar
you need to use matzah mata mean it was
guarded by a Jew. It was it was
preserved. It was watched. It was there
was some kind of human intention in
making it and there was kavana in making
it. And the question is these machines
obviously don't have any cavana they're
programmed they're robotic. So could you
use machine matzah for the night for the
sedarim and in Germany in Germany they
did use machine matzah I believe based
on the of the yak of linger and the
question was raised
to you look at number
five was asked are you allowed to use
machine for the sedar and he says if you
look at number
five regarding your question
machine. Are you allowed to use bake use
that were baked with the machine that
was invented in Germany? So
says, "Heaven forbid. Heaven
forbid for many
reasons that I will explain." And he
said, "Don't bring any proof what
they're doing in Germany to what you
should do in Poland and Russia." And the
first reason he g gives not to use
machine matzah is because what's the if
a katan if a minor bakes the matzah
could you eat the matzah? No because he
doesn't have d he doesn't have
kavana. What if you have an adult
supervising the katan? Is it good? Is it
good matzah? It's not good matzah. So a
machine is no better than a katan. Even
though you have an adult standing by
turning on the switch pressing the
button. Not good. Yeah. Not good. says
of I'll give you another reason and that
is machines cannot produce round matzah
they can't because it's too crummy to
cut it in a shape of a circle too crummy
they need to make it square and the
custom in the Jewish people for hundreds
of years is to make round matzah not
square matzah and using machine matzah
would be a breach in the
custom it's a little uh strict You know
who cares? They That's the only reason.
What's the difference? What's the
difference? If it's circle, square,
triangle, you have to kill them.
But was back then the Jewish people the
custom not to drive a car. What is a car
for the land?
It's two different things. This is
matzah for and this is car. The same
thing you can say on why you eating kala
that's machine.
Why? Yeah, your wife supposed to make to
do it. Okay, look, you know, don't eat
kala that machine. There's there is
there's somewhat of a difference because
look, there's no mitzvah to eat. It's
different.
Mat says you have a mitzvah to eat
matzah, but still you could say uh let's
say
ammon I have no I'm living in Wyoming.
Yeah, they have matzah only the ones.
Yeah. you know, to everybody. No, but
he's saying he's saying no. He's not
saying he's saying you shouldn't do it
because this would have be a breach in
Minhag. But
still, if there's no reason to make it
round as opposed to square, we don't
say, "Oh, you know, until for hundreds
of years, we we've made it uh round." If
round being round has no significance,
then we don't say, "Well, we've been
doing it for hundreds of years at round
mata." Look, uh, wow. How do we have a
right to use electric lights in a shul
for hundreds of years? They didn't use
it. And since they didn't use it because
they didn't have it, now that they have
it, we use it. Yeah, that's two
different things when you do a mata with
kavana with
format in pesto. I didn't have any
kavana to make it. It's like you said, I
don't know who the person that made the
other kavana. I don't know that.
Listen, uh, you have a manufacturing
after the first product that you're
making, you don't think about it
anymore. Just make it. Okay, let's see.
Perhaps there's a reason why Armatz is
around to explain a little bit why he's
being right. He's being a stickler for
the minhug. He's really being uh very
exacting with the minhug. Okay. When did
he live? The the I know.
I know someone in this neighborhood.
Uhhuh. Whose grandmother or great-g
grandandmother sat on the lap
of um I believe so.
But
um so okay so we'll try to explain this.
So now if we think about it we're going
to try to look into the sedar and see is
there anything we do the night of the
sedar to really stir our heart and stir
our mind. What are we still doing in
gulas? Why has the gula not come? Okay,
we begin with
the mention, but still we're yearning
for gula, right? We
say we're yearning for the gula. We open
up the door for we ask, right?
Why is that? Why don't we ask
for why is that that's the most
important thing? That's the that's what
Hashem wants.
I think people suffer one best thing is
fully rest to the guidance. I think they
don't come rest. He comes one time a
whole year. Sure he comes right first
thing he as
I hear we have to think about that. You
have to think about
that. Okay. In the
manana we one of the one of the things
we point out that we do differently the
night of the
is all other nights we don't dip even
one
time the night of pes we dip twice right
we dip the kas in the salt water we dip
the the kosas and the beneskai Beneskai
says that these two dippings are not
just minhug that we do to get the kids
to ask questions. Why are we doing
different things? There's a very
specific reason why we dip two times.
The first dipping represents why we went
into galas. The second dipping explains
why we left galas. The first dip dipping
the carropas in salt water reminds us of
a dipping that caused us to go into
galas. What was that? What what caused
us to go into galas in the first place?
We sold our brother theatim. Whatever
calculations they made, whatever bonus
they made,
ultimately they were
unjustified. And they took their
brother's kones, their cloak, they
dipped it in the blood, right? And they
said to their father, "Tarov, Taraf,
Yoseph, your son has been torn apart."
Because of that, Yseph was sold down to
Egypt. And eventually, it led to all the
Jewish people going down to Egypt. There
was a famine. We had to go buy food from
Yoseph. Ultimately, Yakov and his whole
family went down to
Why? We sold our brother. How were we
redeemed? The night of Pesak, God gave
us the mitzvah to take the agasov, the
bundle of grass, dip it in the blood of
the carbon pesak and sprinkle it on our
doorpost. That's when we were redeemed.
That's the reason that we are misuza.
The one of the reasons muza is to
remember that God uh saved jumped over
our doorpost. No, but the symbol that we
took the and marked the the door that's
the reason that we put it on the door.
I don't I don't I'm not not necessarily
not necessarily by the by the
okay it was promised that that they
would be exiled but the reason the
direct cause ultimately what brought us
down
to which act did Hashem allow it not was
a famine not there was a road no it the
it was because of the sale of y because
of the first dipping brought us into the
galas the second dipping brought us out
of the galas
Okay, very nice. So, at least there's
something in the sedar that makes us
think about what brought us down to mit.
What brought us into this terrible gul
in the first place by we take the we
begin the sedar with the kas. We dip it
in salt water and we recall we remember
that why did we go down to Mitsim?
Because we took our brother, we didn't
have Rahmanas on him. We were cruel to
him. We took his cloak. We dipped it in
blood. We told our father he's
dead. Very interesting. There are many
many reasons given for why is it called
ka many different many different
reasons you ever hear that right stands
for sak 600,000 people worked with hard
labor some say the definitive reason for
kass you know why we start to say there
was kass look one of the commentaries on
the raam look what he
writes number seven we have a custom to
to
recall the colorful
garment that Jacob made for
Yseph. It was because of that
garment the matters revolved and
developed and we eventually went down to
In other words, what caused us to go
down
to made a beautiful code for
Yoseph? His brothers were jealous and
they wanted to kill him and they took
the cloak they dipped it in the blood.
So very interesting even before we start
to relate about how bad things were
in the first thing we do in the sedar is
take the car right we dip it in salt
water why so that we realize why we went
down in the first place what caused us
to go
down we hated our brother we didn't
treat him properly so even though we
started off saying it would seem the
whole night of the sed we don't we have
nothing to remind us why we mashiah
hasn't But actually the very first thing
we do in the sedar we remind ourselves
exactly how we got into that
mess. Now you'll ask me karpass. What
does that have to do with pim? Okay, it
sounds like
it right. First of all, what do we have
in what does the word kass mean? We have
in
miguel the word karpass can mean fine
wool, right? And spread out white wool.
Karpass is fine wool. So karpass is not
just a name of a vegetable. It's a name
of a fine wool. But the benes I just
found this afternoon right before this
went to
print explains this even better. He
says, look at what he says.
This first
dipping, you dip the carropas in the
vinegar reminds us of the difficulty of
the
labor that it was because we sold our
brother
shalom and we dipped his cloak in blood
and we sold
him. We caused distress to now look what
he says.
This is alluded to in the
wordio. The last two letters of
me
is interesting, right? Very good. That's
that's for you. If it is, you know,
what does mean is a sale
is a is a reference.
Okay. Fine. So again the first thing we
do the night of the sedar is what is uh
we dip the carpass in salt water very
interesting and this also theim do even
though it's brought down by the marshal
by the way the marshall what was his
last name his name was Schlommo Laura
who else's name was Lauria the Arizal
Ashkanazim claimed that the Arizal I'm
sorry claimed that the Arizal was
Ashkanazi right yeah they said Ashkanazi
but they said that because his he was a
descendant of Marshall
but Ashkenazi but he was he was a Yasum
actually his probably his father was
Ashkanazi his mother was but he grew up
with his mother but look what the
Marshall says now this is a custom that
Ashkanazim no longer do but do do it but
it's interesting it's brought down by
the Marshall he says like this you take
the after you eat the matmon You take
out the treasure, the hidden
thing. The way it's wrapped up in its
napkin, in its
sheet, you sling it over your
shoulder. You walk in your house. You
walk about
four. This is how what our forefathers
did. They took their package, bundled on
their shoulder. You do that. You do
that. Yeah, also
I heard about it. I never did. I never
did it.
Yeah, you do that. Okay. Where are you
coming from? Everybody says they come
from Egypt and going to you do that. You
take the a over your shoulder. You walk
around with it. You heard about that?
You heard about such a thing? there
was to give the kid away. So I don't
know if you have to give so in his in
his a different safer he says the
marshall there not enough things to that
you have to do that the marshall says
another thing you have to do but he's
inventing something new this is not it's
not doesn't say see does it say anywhere
in the you have to take the and swing it
over your shoulder and walk around
doesn't say that so what they're not
enough things to do the night of the
seder he has to come up with another one
right there they're there dozens of
mitzvah we do but they're not enough he
had to invent another mitzvah wants to
know what what's the source of such a
thing and why why he said every single
thing they did when they left we do
right says
um right their shoes were all the it
says that they were wear they had their
sticks you know anybody who walks around
with the with their staff on the night
of pes to remember that when we left m
we had our sticks in our hands what
every little thing they did we do we
don't do everything so why specifically
this thing very interesting the says in
that when when it came time to bring the
carbon number 11, every individual who
brought the carbon would take the pes in
its
skin sling it over his
shoulder
said what are
tios
says says look at number 12 says
You know why we take the car and pass
look like
this? This is the way Arabs carry their
bundles.
Also, it's related to your tis. This is
the way Arabs carry the I need to I need
to my seder do things the way the Arabs
do it. What do the Arabs have to do with
anything? If the Arabs do it, then
that's something I don't want to be
doing the night of the seda. Right.
They sold it to
Very good. You had your waties today.
Says his whole life he wanted to know
what
is teaching you by saying that we carry
the carbon pes over our shoulder like
Arabs. What in the world is trying to
come? What's his secret? Obviously he's
conveying to us something important
otherwise it wouldn't be in the garra.
Why is telling us that you should carry
the pesak over your shoulder like Arabs?
So Gabi
was when Yoseph was sold to Mitim, who
was he sold to? A band
of a band of merchant Arabs. Right? So
since the night of the Sedar says, not
only do we want to recall the
redemption, not only do we want to
recall the slavery, we want to recall
how we got into the slavery in the first
place. How do we get into the slavery?
Karass. Kas represents the
konas. But more than that, we take the
afon, we sling it over our shoulder and
we recall to what kind of people did we
sell our brother down
to. We sold we look how little mercy we
had on our brother. Not only did we sell
him, we sold him to a bunch of Arabs who
took their who would carry their bags
over their shoulder. That's that's the
secret of tios that the garra says in
they would carry what the who you're
going to sell it to actually it says
there different they're different bands
but but specifically the gar says we
would carry the over our shoulder to
recall the now listen to
this we have a
rule that there's a concept that for the
sin of the aal whenever hashem punishes
us, there's always some punishment mixed
into it from the sin of the ego, right?
He doesn't just punish us. Whenever he
has the opportunity to punish us, he
hashem throws in some of the sin of the
ego. So the meshma wants to know that we
have a concept. We're not responsible
for our forefather sins. So why are we
responsible for the sin of the ego?
And brings up something very interesting
also because there's another statement
in that whenever God punishes us, he
always punishes us
for the sin of selling Yseph. So how do
we understand all this? So
says it depends it depends what we're
doing wrong. When we
sin between us and God, when we don't
serve Hashem
properly, then God throws in some
punishment for the sin of the ago was an
a of idol worship. So or some semblance
of it. So whenever we
sin, God punishes us for the sin of the
but whenever we
sin whenever there's whenever there's
baseless hatred whenever there's
whenever there's God punishes us for
what so these are the two greatest sins
the greatest historical sins theel and
when we
sin God punishes us for the when we
sin God punishes us
from and that's what we say on we
say right you remember that in
the we say God forgive us for Israel
what's they made the
said is so first we ask God to forgive
us
for and then we
say forgive us for the tribes of what
does that refer who that's these the sin
that the tribes of Israel um committed.
Okay. So, we're learning over here that
theel is not the only sin that's
preserved for all generations to punish
the Jewish people for, but the sin of
Ysef is also preserved for all
generations. Rabbi, yes. Say that
punishes measure for measure. So, isn't
this like adding more than just normal
measure that you would expect?
Okay. So,
Part of the reason why God will punish
us for the sin of our forefathers if we
commit the same sin is because not only
are we sinning but we're not learning
the lesson from their mistakes. So in
event in essence when we sin of and we
don't learn a lesson from what what uh
our forefathers were punished for their
sins our sin is magnified. So it's not
really more than we're doing. It's our
sin is magnified because we haven't
learned the lesson from our forefathers.
But very interesting there's a concept
that besides the fact that all
generations are responsible for the
mak
specifically specifically if you
remember at the end of paras mik when
yose meets his brothers for the first
time so right and and they're caught
stealing the goblets so Yseph strikes a
deal with them he says you all go home
I'm I'm going to keep uh I'm going to
keep
here you go up in peace peace to your
fathers brings down he says we have a
cababalistic tradition he's also brought
down in number 15
from
that the the 10 brothers who are
responsible for selling
Yoseph not only were they punished but
they were
ncgal the 10 the 10
mus who were
they rais
Rabi the 10 the 10 martyrs in the times
of the Romans were the gilgal of the
10im and they came back to rectify the
sin of okay so this is a concept that we
see from very early sources that the 10
martyrs the 10
m came and were the gilgal of the
brothers who sold Yoseph and they were
responsible they were responsible to be
punished for their sin. In fact, if you
look at the that we say on on tishab and
yum kipper, the hegmon asks, right, the
the Roman officer says that because you
sold your brother for for shoes, right?
It it's clear it's clear that even the
Roman officer who killed that these 10
gdollim recognized that they were being
murdered for the the rectification of
the sale of Yoseph. Very interesting.
And points out even that in the para
para mikes instead of calling them a 10
instances they're called anosim anosim.
Why? Because to correspond that these 10
brothers were they were reincarnated to
the 10 the 10 martyrs. Very interesting.
The schla brings
down that's very confused to understand.
Well, hopefully one day we'll discuss
just that. But this we're just bringing
this in for the concept that the sin of
Yoseph is not just over and done with.
But why would you mention now um in the
context
of because they mention in the No, no.
Why am I bringing that? I'm just showing
as an illustration that these was not a
one-time punishment. It's something that
we had to pay the price for at a later
point in history. And you'll see why I'm
bringing it in a moment. Okay. And I'll
just tell you something very
interesting. The schlub brings down and
paresv that y really only nine of the
brothers were responsible for selling
yse right. Ruvane wasn't there that day.
So you had shimon lei
yhuda zulan dan afali god ashar binyamin
wasn't there either but ysef was there.
So in a sense he was part of it.
He he incited their
jealousy. Who is the guille of Yoseph?
The schlah says Rabbi
Aka. What's Rabika called in the garra?
Aka Ben. Ben. Yseph. Ysef. His father's
name wasn't
Yseph. So theam say we see on there he
was a gilgal of Yoseph himself. You knew
that when he was alive that he I don't
know. I can't tell you. But it comes out
something very interesting. What was
Akiva's most well-known teaching?
Why? Because he suffered the price of
it. Yseph suffered the price of
okay
says
something was the the primary disciple
of right. He was somebody he came to
this country. He fundraised in the
United States of America in the early
1900s. Says something frightening. He
wants to know, we discussed on Shabas
about blood liels and wants to know it
doesn't make sense how God could allow
blood liels to occur. Usually we have an
idea that
falsehood Shakar only has basis if
there's a kernel of truth. It's only
able to last. People are not able to
come up with complete fabrications
against the Jewish people. There has to
be some kernel of truth. And yet
throughout history, the Jewish people
have been accused of blood liels that
have no basis in reality. They cannot be
the furthest thing from the truth. If a
Jew sees a speck of blood in an egg, he
throws out everything, right? And the
Jews are being accused of taking blood
and baking it in the matos or putting in
the wine. I mean, why would God allow
that to happen? And we know like Orin
mentioned before, everything is mida,
measure for measure. says
Raban he is certain that the reason why
God allows blood liables to happen is
because the brothers took Yoseph's cloak
dipped it in the blood of an animal and
fooled their father and said to Tara
Yoseph your son has been killed they
tricked their father with blood they how
cruel could you get not only to sell
your brother but to make your father
think that his son has been murdered
measure for measure says God allows
blood liable to occur as a punishment
for says and if I'm if I'm mistaken God
should forgive me for saying
this he ends off if I'm
mistaken God should forgive
me
says yeshiva is there any wonder
And that when do blood labels come to
their most frightening climax? Pes time.
Why pes time? Pes time is a time we're
supposed to think to ourselves. Here
we're sitting at the
table. We really should be saying to
ourselves, why are we still in this
mess? Why haven't we gotten out of this
mess? And we're supposed to be thinking
about the fact what got us into it in
the first place. We sold our brother.
And we should be working on ourselves to
overcome the hatred we have to our
friends, hatred we have to our
neighbors, hatred we have to other
people for no reason. And our actions
sometimes on pes then are very
hypocritical because we're yearning for
the msiach but we're not doing anything
about it. So God reminds us, let me
remind you why you got into this mess.
And that's why says Solomon, if the
blood liables are a punishment for the
sale of Yoseph, then it's quite quite
appropriate why Hashem allows it to
happen, why it it exerts itself in its
most frightful state in the times of
PES. It's very powerful concept, very
powerful
idea. Last week we had a a number of
nice gamatri. So, you know, we don't we
don't see hope here.
We
have I I'll tell you one thing. We'll
end off with one thing. Very
interesting. Jacob Ainu
foresaw that somehow his 10 sons are
going to do
something to cause them to go down to
Mitra. He didn't know exactly what. He
didn't know it's they were going to sell
him to sell Yoseph down to Mr. But he
knew somehow that the 10 sons of Yoseph
are going to the 10 sons of his 10 sons
are going to somehow cause the Jewish
people to go down to
Egypt. And therefore he was unsure that
what their sin would accomplish, what
destruction would their sin cause. In
other words, in other words, if you have
10 sons of Yoseph, 10 sons of Yakov, and
they sin, and they're being poga,
they're being pogame, they're causing a
deficiency in God's name. Jacob of
wasn't sure which of God's name are they
being pogame in. Is it the yud, right?
Yke is what?
26. And in that case, it would have to
go down to Matar for 260 years. 10 time
26. Or is it going to be a pagan
alfa and which is 21 alf and then they
would be in mit 210 years. So remember
he sends out yoseph to search for his
brothers. The says
may
right says the ya ruini.
Well, we have to have a maybe on a
different occasion we'll explain who the
Ruveni was. Says the Yakui Yakov was
unsure are they going to be in
Mitzim Amech
is 70 40 100 200
and 10 years or are they going to be
invulfilled why? Because from the
brisbar, give us five more minutes. From
the brisar, how long was it from the
bris until the Jews left?
Remember?
[Music]
430. 430. And then until they went into
Israel, another 40. So altogether, how
many years? 470. 210 plus 260. They're
both right. It was Mayamech and it was
210 260. 470 in
total. What is mitim called theoral? The
iron furnace. Why? Numerical value of
koral is 470 a total from the abs until
they left the midbar was 470 years.
Mosherenu comes to shalom and God
reveals himself to Moshe and and Hashem
says Moshe it's time to go. You're going
to leave Egypt. The Pik says
hashemisara. God saw that Moshe was
trying to see. In other words, Moshe
could not understand. What do you mean
it's time to go? We need to be in Egypt
years. Sar is 260. Moshe thought because
Moshe understood nine of theatim sold
Yseph plus either you're going to
include Yoseph as number 10 or you
include Hashem as number 10 which is a
separate discussion. So a total of 260
10 * 26. So Hashem says, Hashem, Mosha
says to Hashem, what name should I tell
them? I thought your name is Yud Mash.
When they asked him what your name is,
what name should I tell them? Moshe
thought Hashem's name is Yud. So 10* 26
is 260. Hashem said no that's not the
name that they were pogame in. They were
naming. Tell them that they were pogame
in the al of and the y and the he they
were pogame in the in the in the the
name of 21 21 and therefore they only
have to be in 210 years. Very
interesting. But but but that means that
Moshabenu thought there was some kind of
pagam in the yke also 260 and 210 a
total of a total of
210 and 260
470. In other words, Moshe thought they
they needed to be in mit another 50
years, right? Moshe thought it has to be
but really they were only there 210. So
that means there another 50 years that
they really have to make up. So what
does Hashem
say? You
will you will work on yourselves 50 for
those 50 days
between and those are those 50 days made
up the 50 years that that they they
missing out on. Okay, there's the Ramos
says something incredible. The Ramos
saysash the night of Pes always falls
out the same night of the year as
tishabove. If you want to know what
night tishab is the first night of pes
this year is Monday night. Tishabove you
could be sure is Monday night. Why?
What's the connection? What's the
connection between the first night of
pes and tish? Because on Pes we're
supposed to be asking ourselves why are
we still fasting on tishab why are we
still why are we still commemorating the
destruction of the b mikdash we're
supposed to be arousing ourselves why
are we dipping the karpass in the salt
water to remember the sale of y are we
having why are we having throwing the
the af over our shoulders to remember
the yose on the night of pes when we ask
ourselves what are we still doing
commemorating the destruction of the
mikdash and that's why the night of pes
is always the same night of the year as
tishab we'll end with one one last
thing says the night of the seda we
don't use machine matzah why what do we
say
tradition right tradition the matzah has
to be round why does the matzah have to
be round the rama says that there's a
custom to put an egg on the seder plate
why symbol of
OS what what's the since the night of
pes is the same night as we're mourning
over the
mikdash so
the says that's the same reason why the
matzah is round why is an egg a symbol
of aos because it's a gel it's a cycle
of life that's why the matzah
specifically has to be round why the
same reason it's a it reminds us of the
mikdash it reminds us to rectify
the and others suggest look at number 25
there's another suggestion that matzah
specifically has to be round because
what brought us into the galos our
hatred for our
brother together. They don't go
together. You have two squares. They go
together. The the circles represent the
fact that there was vavos between us,
between our brothers, between and that's
what brought us down that brought us
into Mitsim. And therefore the night of
Pes we bur our hearts. We bestow our
minds that if we don't want to fast this
and we don't want to continue to
commemorate the destruction of the B
mikdash, we need to do something. We
need to take clear and concrete measures
to rectify the problem
of to rectify the problem that caused us
to go down to in the first place. That's
why we have the karpass. That's why we
we have the min of throwing it over our
shoulders to recall to remember why we
went down to hopefully if we do
something about it this year. We won't
be we won't be commemorating the
destruction of the B mikdash will
be the Israel.
