Pesach: The 7 Most Important Lessons To Teach Our Children at the Seder

okay tomorrow night is to say there so all you parents out there you want to know you have limited time you want to you want to be able to get through the so that everybody stays up you want to know what are the main things that I need to give over to my children say there and for all you B out there you want to know look what are the main principles that I need to focus on on the SAR right you're probably wondering that b are you wondering that yes or no yes okay so what are the main things that I need to focus on at the S so I would like to share with you seven brief principles that a parent has to give over to their children that every person saying the hag has to try to focus on these are very simple ideas none of them are the well-known ramban at the end of Paras probably the most famous words ever penned by the ramban the ramban says that he's going to tell us a great principle behind the mitv he says from the days of En the hash of man began to become corrupt some of them denied the existence of Hashem and they said the world always existed some said said maybe there is a God and maybe he created the world but he doesn't know what's happening in the world or some of them acknowledge that God knows what's happening in the world but God does not control the everyday Affairs of the world they've turned man into a fish that man has there's no Divine Providence in man's life and there's no reward in punishment and therefore when the rebun perform the Miracles of MIM he demonstrated the following important principles you ready for this you want to hear K he demonstrated there's a God he demonstrated there's a God because otherwise if the world is an accident how exactly did the N River the mighty Nile River turn into blood how did that happen say so maybe someone poured food coloring into it no no no it wasn't colored it was blood it turned into blood so who changed nature the Miracles of demonstrated there is a God who every day recreates the world now how did did this person how did this entity who made blood for the Egyptians frogs you know one year I want to give a share why is it of all the makos the frogs have the most cach you ever wonder about that like if you go into the stores everything is frog paraphernalia I mean you could get like these little miniature frogs jumping frogs windup frogs what is it about frogs that the Jewish people are so attached to the frogs you ever wonder about that one year I think we have to have a share on that I think it has to with the fact that the source of being is the frogs says that we make a from so and our whole purpose of existence isad so we're so connected to the frogs no I think that's that must be the reason but anyway when how did Hashem know how did this entity know where the Egyptians live and where the Jews live only to make the Mak for the mitm how did he know that it must be that this God knows what's happening in the world he knows who's Jewish he knows who's he's who's Egyptian and he's able to you know what they call Precision uh Target you know like in Israel they can't have an all at War so they have to do Precision uh targets that clearly this God knows and there's Divine Providence and he's powerful nobody could stop him there was nothing the mightiest King in the world could do to stop this God so that proved there's M Hashem that proved Hashem has y he knows that proved that proved God's his ability you know what else it proved it proved that there's an institution of Prophecy cuz God told mosha Tomorrow there's going to be blood tomorrow there's going to be frogs Tomorrow there's going to be lice oh that means god communicates with those who he chooses to prophecy is the foundation of the whole Tyra so the first thing you need to tell your children or the first thing you need to tell yourselves is that I'm saying the and this verifies there's a God in the world there's a this re he knows he knows what I do he knows what I think even if the lights are off and the door is closed Hashem knows Hashem controls specifically everything in this world what happens to me on the most minute level it demonstrates hashem's ability and his n and that there's a institution of n so the first thing is okay number two you need to tell your children number three hashem's ability number four it demonstrates prophecy ready for number five if I had a Blackboard I would write on the Blackboard the ha is not history it's Destiny everything we read about in the hag it's not about what happened but everything that happened is a pre-enactment of what will happen in the future so you need to tell your children all of these makos they will repeat themselves there will be a splitting of the sea everything we read about in the ha is just the trial run the rehearsal for the great Miracles that will be performed for the Jewish people with the coming of mhia it's the ha the recitation is an exercise in believing in the gulma number [Music] six we're going to say in the in a nutshell wanted to throw all the boys into the river and let the girls survive what was the symbolism of that the the great saer Bas a of aish ofas says Ben represents primary Bas represents secondary primary is the world to come secondary is this world par said throw the world to come in the river forget about forget about the world to come it's all about this world it's all about your pleasure in this world your money in this world your covet in this world par wanted the Jewish people to forget about the world to come the meaning of throw the Ben into the river is throw we believe that the world to come is primary and this world is secondary par wanteded to make us forget about the main purpose of our existence we believe this world is only a preparation for the world to come one of the most important things to tell your children and one of the most important things to work on when you say the is that God took us out of the clutches of the Pharaoh who wanted us to forget about the to tell our children that we believe this whole world is just a preparation for the great banquet OFA and finally Hashem did all these things for us we were in a country nobody ever escaped from and Hashem completely altered the laws of nature he destroyed the Egyptians he destroyed the power of the Pharaoh and he took us out of the land he split the sea so what's Our obligation Our obligation is to have gratitude to Hashem all of T mitz is gratitude to Hashem when we're lying in our bed and it's hard to get up we have to think you know what Hashem gave me back my soul Hashem gives me the ability to see to hear to think my heart beats my lungs work Hashem gave me a bed a pillow a cover Hashem gave me a toothbrush use it please with toothpaste mouthwash would also help help Hashem gave me a sink Hashem gave me a shower Hashem gave me food so least I could do is get out of bed and say thank you very much the main AA of the is to have gratitud and it starts by telling your children say thank you to your mother your mother made all this food say thank you to her she slaved away for many weeks preparing for PES say thank you to her or maybe you're going away say thank you to your father that he was able to pay for this say thank you to your parents because if you have gratitude to your parents then you'll start to feel gratitude to which is the basis of all hasem say why do I have to put Onin because God gave you an arm so at least thank him that he gave you an arm why do I have to put up a muza cuz he gave you a house you know we think of it God I put up the muzza so give me reward n you're behind the aall he gave you the house so you thank him by putting up the muza now you want to be rewarded for it but the truth is Hashem rewards us for it but think about how magnanimous Hashem is because all the mitzah we do the med says who preceded me that I should pay them all the Mitzvah we do is just pay back for what Hashem did for us but Hashem is so kind that not only does he give us first but he then rewards us for thanking him so here are the seven things that we should focus on to give over that there is a reality ofes that controls the worldus specifically tailor made for every country for every city for every nationality for every individual every moment of the day number three God's ability nobody could stop him there's nothing anybody could do in any way to even slow down the ability of AES we see from the Miracles of number four everything that happened was predicted beforehand number five all the Miracles of were a precursor a pre-enactment to the coming of the G R Miller used to say most people don't even spend 30 seconds a day thinking about if you would stop 30 seconds a day and think about you're a head taller than anybody else nobody's thinking about people are thinking about when's the rabbi gonna be finished so I could get my my bagel now I'm sorry to inform you today that there are no everything Bagels only plain Bagels because everything bagels are too crummy for ER Pak I sincerely apologize for that inconvenience but in in order to keep things clean we have but who people are thinking about Bagels who's thinking about the world to come that's one of the most important things we have to think about the night of the SAR and finally when you walk away from the SAR and you you sangy what what Nan do they use in the Goldberg house you remember yud why do they sing in the gladin house for you're not going to sing it why it's good what do they sing what do they sing by you which one oh yeah that one how about for when you finish I should wrap it up when you finish that you should walk away with a feeling of great for taking us out of cuz if he W to taking us out of you would not be able to get a B on the way out of the we would not be here we would not have we would not have we would not be so these are some things to think about and everybody should be in this great of
