this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com the uh base israel once related that his father the mayamus when he was a young boy asked his father the spacemas what's the reason for the menage israel to wear a keto you know miniga ashkenaz is we're we wear a kittle the night of the stay there what's the reason for this minhag so this fascemas replied you know pesach night people are wearing their finest people are dressed in their best and you know how it is how the night of the stay there somehow everything turns purple all the white all the white shirts all the white tablecloths everything turns purple and so to avoid sullying and dirtying one's clothing you wear somewhat of an apron so the kettle basically serves as an apron so the imramus accepted this but then he realized that his father was telling him something much deeper than the kittles serving just as an apron and that is as we come to the seda as we approach the night of pesach has cleansed our souls we're a baryakadasa and we have so to speak a new slate we don't want to sully and soil the neshama so to indicate the cleanness and the freshness of our soul we wear this so to speak apron to to teach us and to help us integrate the idea that we're starting anew we're starting afresh our souls are clean we don't want to sully them well this concept fits in very well with the uh ram that we set over yesterday that the great grandfather of teaches us that beginning 30 days before pesach who cleanses the a sid every year on a yearly basis 1 30th each day until finally when you're on era of pesach you have you're almost entirely clean and then finally finally the night of the seider you are pristine and the concept of the kittle is now that we are pristine we have to be so careful not to sully the neshama using this idea perhaps we could add that as we clean our homes and we cleanse and we purify our physical structures this is also symbolic of the cleansing that is doing to every single jew and over the course of the 30 days before pace in fact uses this to explain why we begin learning the halachos of pesach 30 days before and this explains why every year we're obligated to view ourselves as if we're actually leaving the trying because this cleansing process is actually taking place on a yearly basis so we hope by cleaning our homes by wearing the kettle we integrate this concept that our neshamos are beginning anew the say there may we be that just like the fifteenth day of nissan we were negal merc hashem bethesvinis you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
