The mystical secrets that happen on 'Seder' night and what can be achieved

[Music] Let's learn a little bit about Lead. So, this Monday we're going to celebrate Leed. As I mentioned before, uh based on many opinions, this is the holiest night of the year. I know a lot of people think that Yum Kipur is the holiest night of the year. But we know that Yumipur is the that is the holiest night of the year because what can be achieved that night and what happens that night and this is a night that a certain energy will shine in the world and you want to make sure that you're there for the show. Now I mentioned many times and I don't want to repeat it too much that the the word holiday in Hebrew is and comes from the word to go around in a circle. The hands of a clock is called because they go around. So we call it a kag. People think khag is a a festival is because it goes around the days go around in the circle of the year and then they come back to a specific day and whatever happened on that day repeats itself. Now 3,300 and something years ago when Hashem took the Jews out of Mitim, he himself anal that's what we're going to read in the came down to Mit and took the Jews out of Mit into freedom. Now first we have to understand what's Mit. Mitim is not the country that is 5 600 km south of us. Mitim is a spiritual place. Now who came down to Mitim originally? Yakov and his 12 tribes, his 12 kids. Okay, first Yseph came. If you want to really go back, first Abraham came, checked out the land, then he went out. And then in the the time when Abrau made a deal with the kadu, Hashem told Abrau, "Your grand great grandkids will go to Egypt for slavery. And later on the story goes and Yseph came to Mitim. But really who came to Mit to settle there? Yakov Au and 12 tribes. Jacob Ainu is representing the nashama our soul. So their soul went into Mit into Egypt. And who came to Mit with Jacob? The 12 tribes. If you're following our monthly class about the month, you remember that I'm talking that each month corresponds to a star, corresponds to a tribe, corresponds to a certain sense. So all 12 tribes went into mitime. All 12 senses of the nishama went through mitime too. So Jacob, the nama and the 12 tribes, the 12 senses went into what is mitime is a place of impurity. A place of impurity means that there's no holiness there. Holiness is presented or compared to light. And if the light is removed from something, then what will be exchanging the light? It will be a void. A void of nothing. then the impurity will come in. So anything that you'll say tame tame is impure it means that there's no holiness there. The light of the holiness was removed. If I now go and lie and I damaged the spiritual vessel by lying then the light was removed right now. It's called siluca. If you want to compare it to something physical it's almost like taking a balloon and taking the air out. What's going to happen if you take the air out? the balloon will deflate and become again a piece of rubber. So when I damage something in one way or another, then the light gets removed. This is called siluca. Now anything that is impure, anything that there's no godly light there, there's no kusha, then impurity will come in. This is the concept of mitim, a place of impurity. Now what is this place of impurity? a place where physical lusts and desires are very very strong. So not physically but spiritually we're all in mit because I have very strong lusts and desires for physical things. That's it. Doesn't matter right now. It can be chocolate, can be cigarettes, can be wine, can be marital relations, can be whatever it is. But I have desires, strong ones. I'm not talking about thinking of okay I can handle it. No, I have strong desires for physical things. This is called now it can be a a desire for something that is allowed. It can be a for something that is forbidden. But the point is that mit is a place where I cannot control my my inclination, my desires and my lust to something. and especially for something that is forbidden. So the nama goes into mit. Jacob went into mit. He didn't want to go there. It was called the the most disgusting place of the world and had to go there. And the nama has to go into mit. Nobody's asking you if you want to go there or not. The nama is placed in mit. Why? cuz you have to do a operation that is called you have to go out of your mit that's why all of us have challenges and problems not because I did something wrong people have the opinion that I'm suffering cuz I did something wrong no we are suffering because the nama had to go into mit hashem told a mino your children will go to mit and you know that ava didn't say anything. Didn't even argue. Go a few parachut back when Abrau tried to save the city of Zum. If you remember, we spoke about it last class. Arainu was debating and fighting so to say, Hashem, don't destroy the city. And there's a whole argument going there. Says, "Maybe there's 40ikim in the city. You're going to destroy the whole city." Hashem says, "There's no 40ikim there." She says, "Okay, maybe there's 35." Hashem answers there's no 35 of them says maybe there's 30 maybe is there 20 maybe is there 10 was literally becoming the advocate of the city of sin and at this end Hashem says I don't accept your your what you're presenting there's no sadikim there I'm destroying the city the the Torah took a whole chapter just to describe how was negotiating with God not to destroy mit And then God in a different scene when he signs this the the deal that is called the benim the covenant that they took an animal they cut it in half and they cross through it. Hashem tells your great great great grandkids will go to mit to slavery for 400 years. Abinu doesn't even blink. Okay. Doesn't even negotiate because he knew he has to go there. First of all, Hashem said to Abamino, "Everybody has to go through ginoms, listen, I don't want my kids to go to gay." So Hashem says, "Okay, what do you suggest?" So says, "Send them to exile. I rather have exile than Gom is hell. I I rather them go through what's called to get crushed." Put it here. Do it here in this world. Let them be in their in their Egypt. then do it up there approved. So 3,300 years ago, yeah, they went into this crushing machine it's called and they had to be slaved and to be crushed. There was actually a sweetening of the of the judgment because it was supposed to be 400 years and it ended up being only 210 years and the real slavery was only 84 years. Wasn't 210 years even though we're talking about an 84 year holocaust. We get affected by the holocaust that was 75 years ago. This was an 84year holocaust. So allowed it to happen because he knew the nama has to go into galot into exile. Why? Because we need to come out of we have to do an action that is called that's why our sages say every generation a person has to see like he came out of Egypt meaning that I have a motion in me that I have to go out of my limitation and what is exactly besides going out of my limitation is revealing my soul. Each and every one of us has a soul, a very holy and precious soul. And I don't know my soul. I don't know anything about it. I never met it. I don't know how it looks. I don't know how to talk to it. I don't know what it wants, what it likes. But each soul is individual. And the same way that the exterior of ours is different, the soul is different. You will not find one identical human being. Billions of people throughout the generations, not one of them is identical. There's no such a thing. Even even identical twins are still not identical. To our eye, they might look similar, but they're not identical. So, you're looking here at billions of people because we have in our generation about seven, seven, seven and a half, I don't know. I didn't count. 50 years ago, there was also seven. And 50 years ago was 6.9. And 50 years before that was 6.8. We're talking about billions of people here. You don't have one person that looks like the other. And the proof to that is in the finger. There's no identical fingerprints. You can you can recycle social security numbers. You can't have an identical fingerprint. There's no such thing as an identical fingerprint. Billions of people. And that's just a fingerprint. Now science has found out that the eye the details in the eye are 10 times more if not 100 or thousand times more more detailed than the fingerprints and later I think they already start having it now this certain device that can read your eye and and and identify the person you'll be able to unlock your iPhone with that. Yeah 100% now they do everything like you say with a fingerprint. So if my fingerprint is not identical, so much more so my soul. So my soul is completely different than any other soul in the world. So my soul is very unique and you know I don't even know my soul. I don't know anything about it. I know about myself. I know that I like chocolate and I know I like coffee and I know I know excuse me we don't know our soul. Is to reveal my soul. animal my not my animal soul I have an I have a holy soul in me I don't know it I need to reveal it this is it to reveal my soul how do I reveal my soul it's like revealing a diamond you ever saw a diamond that came out of the mine it's a black rock and if you didn't see it go and google it a black rock then you start chiseling it and then you start refining it and and and shaping it and shaping it until you get a perfect diamond. And if you shaved it one micro millimeter too much, then you lose value in the diamond. And the more refined it is, the more carrot the diamond is. And one diamond can look to the naked eye very nice. A professional will come and look at it be like it's worthless. One millimeter there is scraped the wrong way. So Arnama is a diamond. It has to be revealed. It has to be pulled out of Egypt. This is it. This is the the the a short version of the whole concept. I have to reveal my nishama and my nishama my soul will be covered with dirt with all sorts of bad thoughts, bad habits, bad actions, junk that I accumulated throughout the the my life. I have to clean it up and I have to get it out of Egypt. Now the rule is that I can't do it myself. I cannot pull myself out of exile. the the Talmud says and a prisoner cannot take himself out of his own cell. I have to come and prepare myself and then the rest has to be done by Hashem. So we are all in mit we're all stuck in our limitations where there are desires to all sorts of forbidden things desires for permitted things permitted things that I there's no prohibition to eat now cookie but to eat 20 of them that's already a problem but there's no prohibition I'm not eating something wrong I I there's nothing wrong with the cookie as long as it's kosher it's fine to eat it but eating 20 of them and in a hazard the quay that's not good. I have to control it. And everybody has don't think you're different or don't think somebody's better than you or you better than somebody else. We all have these desires and they're very very strong and we're fighting them on a daily base. And each one lusts and desires something different and has a weakness to something. And this goes to permitted things and and forbidden things. But we're all stuck in mit and we have bad habits and we have all these things that limit us. And I'm not free. We talked about it last class. I do not want to repeat it over and over. But we are not free. The real freedom is that I know how to control all my desire and urges. That's what we spoke about last class. If you weren't here and you want to see it online that when I think that I'm free and I can do whatever I want, that's not freedom. That's just being wild. And I explained that paro has many angles. One of the ways to understand paro you take the letters and you switch them and it becomes ha is something that disturbs you and paro also can you can switch letters and you can read it as para pua is wild the real freedom is that you know how to control your urges and to control your mouth and to control your thoughts and to control everything. This is the real freedom. So I need to go out of my mit. If I don't think or if you don't think that you're stuck in mit that's already a problem. We are all stuck in mit in a state of limitation some type of limitation and one of the limitations that I have is that I desire and I lack many things that I can control myself comes the night of pes and is giving me the opportunity to be pulled out of this place of limitation and it cannot done be done by me. I can just come. You can bring the camel to the will, you can make a drink. That's it. So, Hashem came down that night of Pesak to remove the Jews out of slavery. If you notice when I talk about my near-death experience, I explain how when I grew up, I learned that Pesak is just, you know, a fairy tale. But really what happened is that that night a very special powerful godly light came down to the world that took the Jews out of Mit. But more than that it permeated the power for the rest of the generation for any individual to go out of his limitation. Which means that that night we were given the code how you go out of your mit, how you reveal your that's why is so important because it took them seven weeks to refine themselves to start cleaning their vessels building vessels that when it was time to receive the Torah they were able to get it. So if I don't prepare myself the right way on Shabot, I'm not going to get the Torah and it all starts in which means that every detail of that night is extremely important and you have to make sure that you know everything and that you follow everything. That's why I told you before it's called Sed is organizing everything but it's also because it has to go in order. Sed is order which means first I clean the KTS then I burn the KTS then I check then everything has to come in its order. So we can literally sit now for 3 weeks just talking about everything that has to do with the there's a lot of unbelievable information but I want to just quickly go through the idea that you have what to tap into. Now if you noticed the le is surrounding one thing and that's reading the hagada. This is the highlight of the night. Everybody has to read the hagada. And we have all sorts of rituals that we do and each and every one of them is very important and do not skip it. You see that the all sed is surrounding what's called k a dish and on this dish I have a bunch of things. I have an egg. I have maro. I have all sorts of things on it. This is believe it or not the highlight of the day. I need all these things. It has to be particular in order to tap into this godly light. Now again just to re reassure that you understand this godly light. It's not a light that comes from a candle or or light bulb. God comes down to the world in such a revealed way. I mean we don't see it with our eyes but in such a revealed way that the entire world is the energy of the universe at that night is totally different. Totally totally different and you if you are a little bit sensitive you go out to the street you'll feel the energy on pes is a total different energy I want to tap into this energy why because it's going to benefit me for the rest of the year. What is it going to benefit me? is going to give me the power to overpower and to overcome my limitations and to overpower my desires and and bad habits. Any bad habit that you have, this is the night to tap into some source of power that will carry you throughout the year to fight it, to be aware of it, to have the the energy to to to battle it. This is the night and much much more. So I have to do all these things that look completely ridiculous in order to tap into this energy. So the first thing I have to set is a a bowl. It's called k. And in this bowl has 10 elements corresponding to the 10 spir. I have to now start fixing all the spir. That's why in I'm fixing all seven midot seven times. But on said I'm starting to fix the moin. Now this is not we don't have the time to explain it but in the spir just to give a short overview there it's divided into two groups the what's called intellect and the midot the attributes. Some count they count the the asab some count it doesn't matter how you count it right now how you look at it there's explanations why but this is the m this is the intellect everything is birthed in that level now if the mo is getting the right shea the right energy the hashpah from above from the sphere of keter it's birthing it there then it can give it over to the midot to the attributes throughout I'm refining my midot from but on the week of pes and especially the that's when I'm birthing all the abundance in this in the in so the there are 10 elements in the k first we have three matas if you remember how it looks We put three matzah one on top of the other and then on top of it we put the k the three matzah are corresponding to then I have in the k sixim and we're going to go through the sim but there's six things that I put in the k these correspond to the six midot each and every one of them and we'll go through it in a few minutes and then the actual plate you have to have a plate this is called the k this corresponds to malot cuz everything is on the ka. So this is not just to only raise the interest of the kids. Now so I have three mat that correspond to the m because I have to now influence and give some type of an abundance into the intellect into the mo and this is done through the matah then why that's why I have to eat the matzah. Now if I go let's go quickly through the the simanim. The simanim is what I put on the ka. The first one that I put on is called zah. Zaha. Some people take a neck of a chicken. Some people take a piece of meat, but you have to burn it. The zah corresponds to the mid of and you're going to see when you join us on Monday. When you order make the then the z goes on the top right. Why? because it comes from has to be on the then the next side I will put an egg a hardboiled egg and the reason why I put a hard boiled egg because that's the only food that when you cook it becomes hard all the rest of the food when you cook it becomes soft so the egg comes from the sphere of from the left side you put the egg on the left side and after that comes what's called maro maro comes from the sphere of and you would think that mar is something bitter that it should come from. But the mar comes from the gim from from the side of because the numerical value of of mar is mit. The same exact numerical count of the word mav. Mav is death. And the mit means that you take something from the left side and you move it to the right side. You actually transform the the ga into sweetness. We're going to go through it in a second. Then we have on the right side another thing and that is called koset. Koset. I don't know how you call it in English but that's the like you make it from walnuts and you make something sweet. How you call it? Koset. Kroset. Okay. With an accent. So that comes from the of is it will be on the right side of the plate. Why? Because it's sweet sweetness. So we're sweetening the the the right side of then on the next on the left we'll put karpass. Karpas can be some people put lettuce, some people will put what? Celery. Yeah. Potato. Karpas has the letter. If you switch the letter, it's Sam is 60 60 shishimbo 60 600,000 souls. went into par is to slavery and I now able to reverse it go out of par means slavery and then the last one is called I don't know how you say in English maybe you say but corresponds to the that's the last and we put it on the left now again like I said there's not going to be much time to go through everything now. We're going to talk more during and unfortunately we can't record it. But uh the the ones of you who join us, we will go through more interesting details. But the reason why we call it again order because we have to go in order. First we have to clean the KTS then we have to check the Kts. Then we have to burn the KTS. We have to go through different orders. What did we do then? We took out the 10 kipot because as a pose against the 10 spirro there are 10 kipot by doing all that I now took all the kipot from their domain everything that I told you up to now it's time to take the light out from its source so by checking the kts burning the kts cleaning the kts I'm now revealing the kipah I'm taking it out out of its an hour now that I'm free of impurity. There's no impurity. If you notice after 11:00 in the morning on on Monday, you feel this ah you burn your you feel like you took a load off. There's no clipot anymore from of pes. That's it. You anold the clip. Now it's time for the holiness to come in. Now I have to bring in the light. The light that I bring in on Leed comes from the from the level of our nama that is called and I have to now reveal it. A very holy light comes from the that is called this is a level that we never reach. For the ones of you who attend the the class of the gates of reincarnation, we only reach the level of nama. We don't we don't even reach to the level of and definitely not on that night. We actually reveal now the light from the da of this is the this is where I start now I sit down and I start the sed all the rest will start being developed in but if I did not reveal that on is worthless if I did not celebrate pes and I'm counting the honor I'm wasting my time it has to start on this is the night where it starts when I'm pulling to the world to revealing a godly light from the level of now I can start refining all my throughout the next seven weeks and during the seven weeks I'm starting to build vessels each night when I say whatever I say I'm building one vessel one clay building it and refining it so when will come the holiday of Shabot I can receive the Torah it's not receiving a a a plant with a flower what they Now they give you a plant. You receive the Torah. What's called the nama receives it. Now the most important thing is going by the order of the sed. If you make a mishmash or you mix things or you skip things, you you you're messing it all up. You're missing the point. Some people want to do it fast or they're like, "Let me just read it real quick." No, you have to go through the order. It's extremely important. There are a lot of mystical explanations. There's a lot of depth in it. Every little thing that we do has to be done the right way and the right order. Now, in Cababala, and we're not going to touch it. I just want to mention it that you know, we know there are two types of what's called there's ima and there's abba. The ones of you who learn a little bit of kabala or a little bit of z, you know what I'm talking about. There are two types of intellects. One of them is the father. is called abba and one of them is called imma and bina these are the two spir the matzah and the wine the matzah and the wine these are the most important thing in the sed we eat matzah and we drink wine we have to drink four cups of wine and we have to eat enough amount of matzah the matzah corresponds to the mo what's called abba and the wine corresponds to ima which means that if you take now a a a human beings a father and a mother in order for them to birth a child to give birth for a child, they have to have relations. They have to have marital relations. This is what's called a ze a unity between these two individuals. That's how they can bring down a new life. In order for me to bring down any type of energy, a shea an abundance into the midot the mother and the father the ofina have to unite. They have to become together in order to birth the midot. This is what's happening on if you miss that you mess it up and you cannot work on your mid throughout if you did not birth the shea that night with the matzen wine. So every little thing here is extremely important. Now we have to eat uh what's called kazite. Kazite is a measurement. Kazite is 29 grams of matzah. Now you don't weigh before the night. We go around about it's better to eat more but the minimum is 29 g which called kazite and we have to eat four of them and throughout the meal then we we are we're going to note now when we eating them. The reason why we eat four kazites is corresponding to the four types of muin. There are different types of mo of intellects that we have to to to to birth. Now in the entire sed of pes there are 15 stages and the kids always sing it in the they sing it right. So there are 15 stages. Everyone is very important. Each one of them is extremely important. You cannot skip it and you cannot h jump over one of them. It has to be very very again organized. Sedar is organized. The first thing that we do is we do kadesh. Kadesh is we have to do kdush. Doesn't matter if it's pes doesn't matter if it's shabbat. We have to do kdush. This is the first cup of wine. We have to drink four cups of wine. And then there's reasons why we drink four cups of wine. But that is the first cup of wine. Now, of course, it has to be I'm not even mentioning that, but I will. It has to be kosher wine. It cannot be not kosher wine. And better if it's red wine, and if you can't stand red wine, then buy a kosher grape juice for kush. And it's important that it will be tasty for you. You can't suffer. So, if you can't stand the wine or for whatever reason you can't drink wine, then drink grape juice. But grape juice that is is kosher for uh the cups of wine. Now each time you drink a cup of wine, it has to have a certain measurement that is called revit. And this is 86 g of liquid. 86 I think it's called the cc in English. Now just that you understand this is about 120 or 140. 86 g is about like that. Now you can drink a big wine a big cup but the minimum is 86 g. Now, all opinion goes by that the cup has to be full till the end. Can't fill it up till the to the top. Sorry. Now, if you don't want to drink so much wine, make sure you get small cups. And if you don't mind, don't mind then it doesn't matter the size of the cup, but the minimum is 86 g. This is called it's something like that. So, first of all, we do the kush. The next thing they do is we have to wash our hands. We have to start the ceremony by washing our hands. You do three on the right hand, three on the left hand. If you're a lefty, three on the left one, three on the right hand. This is done without a braha. You don't say braha. You don't have to take too many notes because if you're doing the sed with if you're doing the s with us, you'll get all the the instructions as we're doing it. If you're not doing with with us, I'm sure that whoever conducts the zed knows what he's doing hopefully and they'll tell you what to do. Now the next thing that we do is we do karpass and we take we have to take something that is adama. Some people do onions some people do potato and the the there is two levels of moin and we're not going to get into it and I'm sure many people are saying no no no get into it get into it but there's no time to get into it. There's two levels of what's called moin. There's moin the cut and moin the god. Moin the cut is a very small cutnot is small very limited level of moin and I want to reach to the level of what's called moin the godlo the karpass is the moin of catnut it's still a very low level and we dip it in the salt water and we say a blessing then we go to the level that is called yak yak means to break. You take the middle matzah of the pile. I mean the three matzahas they correspond to kohhen and is they correspond to and many other things. You pull the middle matzah out and you and you break it. One piece will be big, one piece will be small. It's inevitable. You cannot get an equal piece. It doesn't matter what you how hard you're going to try. One will always be bigger than the other. The small piece you keep in the in the cover. The big piece some people we're not going to go into all the customs cuz many people have different customs. Most people their custom is to break it into five pieces and that's the command. You wrap it, you hide it and you put it away. Now let the kids start finding it. The the aikan you eat later on at the end of the sed then you have another part. It's called mid. Mid is the most important thing and this is reading the hagada. Everybody has to read the even though if there's one person reading it, everybody else has to read it quietly. In most seders, they make a a round. Prepare yourself cuz in our sed that's what we do. If you're shy, let me know in front before and we're not going to make you read. But we make everybody participate and everybody reads a little portion. If you don't want to, then tell me before. So then or just naturally skip to the next one. But you still have to read. And even if I'm reading out loud, you have to read. You have to read it. You have to say, if you did not say it, you did not do this part that is called. And you have to say it loud enough that you can hear it. You can whisper it. And if you don't know the Hebrew, then I would suggest to just learn to even just say the actual words in Hebrew, even if you don't understand. And if you don't even know how to read Hebrew at all, then read it in English or whatever language you know. But you have to read the Hagada. And you know why this is so important? Because this is what fixes my blemishes with my mouth. So all year long I lie, I cheat, I say, I curse and many other things. This is the tikun for the so just read the hag throughout the pes you're doing a tikun for all your and all your lying and your cheating and all that it's extremely important that's why even if you do not understand Hebrew but you know how to read Hebrew read it in Hebrew just say the words in Hebrew and if it's very hard for you then read a little bit in Hebrew then the rest in English but you have to read the agada a lot of people just sit like this and they're like wow you know they they enjoy the no read it it's extremely important Now what do we read? We read the story of mit. The story in Hebrew is called sepur. Cipur comes from the word spir. And cipuru also comes from the same root of sapil. Sappiril is to enlight to lighten something up. So when I tell the story I'm telling the story of what's happened there. Basically what I'm doing is is I'm bringing on me I'm enlighting on me the in my root of my nama this godly light. So by me telling the story I'm activating this unbelievable godly shine that shines on me and shines on the root of my nishama that will affect all my spir in my nishama just by telling the story and I have to understand the story. So if you don't understand the Hebrew again, read it in English. You have to understand what it says. Even though you're starving, don't come starving. Eat something in the afternoon. We're going to eat at 11:00 at night. Make sure that you're well rested because people get very aggravated in the sed is relaxed. Everybody's calm. No anger, no problems. Nobody should upset your sed is relaxed. Come with your pillow. I can't I don't have enough pillows to give everybody. Come with your pillow. Be comfortable. There's no anger. Please eat before sale because you eat at 12:00 at night, at 11:00 at night, depending where you're doing it. You cannot come into the center hungry. People start nibbling over like, you know, they start eating the the the the lettuce. What are we eating? What are we eating? Eat eat something at 5 in the afternoon that you're not going to be starving. Everything has to be calm. You have to tell the story. You have to understand the story. It's extremely extremely important. Next, we have what's called again we wash our hands. After that, we do what's called matzah. We take out the matzah and we say two blessings. And you don't have to write too many things. I know you can write. I'm just saying don't don't you remember everything. We're going to go through the I'm just telling you the order. After that, we have to eat 29 g of matzah times two. Again, don't start measuring. You don't have to come with a scale. The person who brings runs the seda will give you a piece. And it's about this size of matzah. Now, the thing is that usually if you go by the average matzah, you have to eat 2/3. That's what you have to eat. So some are some are a little bit bigger, some a little bit smaller. The average size of a matzah. Take that 2/3 of that. That's the two/3s you have to eat. Now it has to be eaten in 9 minutes. So you can't just like you know smooth and have a piece and start talking. So how was your day? You have to be quiet. You sit a braha. You don't talk. And you have to eat it within 9 minutes. You have to some people will go even to try to eat it within two minutes. They just inhale it. But it's extremely important that you crush it with your teeth. It's extremely important because everything that I do throughout the night will take away from the suffering from the entire year. If I have to crush myself all year round, every bite that I give in the matzah once said, I'm removing one challenge out of my ear. And eating matzah is a challenge. It's not soft. It hurts you in the inside. If you have soft teeth, it will hurt your gums. It's not easy to eat matzah. But I have to Some people just put it in and and they swallow it. You have to crush it. crush the matzah. You're crushing everything that night and you you're going to cancel everything that you're going to need to crush in the next year. Now, you have to do it throughout 9 minutes. And you don't talk. It's not time to eat small pieces. You got to get it down and you got to get it down fast. And don't eat. You can't talk because the same way you don't talk between the washing and the eating when on a regular Shabbat, you don't talk while you're eating the mat. It's not the time to talk now. Extremely important thing. There's a lot of details that are missing. It has to be eaten in a leaning to the side. Has to be. This is called Sorry, I did this side. You eat on this side. Everybody has to eat on the leaning. Not not only the person who does the sed you have to do everything what everybody what the sed does. After that we do what's called we do mar and that we take the lettuce we put the mar in it we eat that we sa we do the sandwich with the mata we do they have to do the whole thing this is in a very short explanation to take anything that is bitter in my life and to turn it into sweet that's why I eat maro on pes that's why you want to pour a lot of maro there some people like okay I'm just going to you Take an example, a sample. Take the maro, put it on your kasa, put it on your and and eat till you tear. Eat till steams are coming out of your ears. Because if you notice, if you eat it and you chew it and you chew it and you chew it, it will turn to be sweet. Most people they chew three chews and swallow it. They gallop it down. Chew the maro a few times till literally steams come out of your eyes. At some point you will notice it turns to be sweet. Try it. The point of eating the molo like that is you sweeten all the bitter things in your life for the next year. So you suffer for 2 minutes and the next year you're not going to have. And now this is not a guarantee. Don't come to me next year and tell me I ate 2 lbs of mauo and I had a lot of problems. That's not going to solve your problems. It's just going to make things sweeter and the things that are bitter in your life will be sweetened. Then we go through a whole order. We do we have to have a meal and you have to have a good meal with a lot of good food and you have to enjoy the meal. After that we have tapon tap. We have to eat the another zit kazite of the matzah. This comes already from the Quran. Everything is very important. Then we have to do we have to say biron everything has to be nice calm singing we add all the singings and the tunes to it you have to do it nice and everything has to be together then we do halal we have to say again halal and we have to do that also with singing and and you do it with a lot of you don't don't most people like let's do it fast why are you singing right now let's get to the dessert there's no dessert there's no cakes the dessert is maybe maybe fruit. So there's not a special dessert waiting for you. You do it quietly and then of course you do what's called that you add all the the rest of the psalms and whatever we read at the end and that's where the is over. That's when we say and we wish to each other that's I explained that the last class it's not that we wishing ourselves for next year to move to there are 800,000 people live in and they also say it says that the next entire year I will be in the level of of freedom needless to say after that you don't want to just wrap it up and get up and leave. It's a very very spe special night. You want to stay up, you want to read, you want to read a little bit, whatever you want to learn Torah. The custom is to stay up and read and learn Torah till you fall asleep on the table. That's when you know, okay, now it's time to go to bed. It's not the night that you want to go to sleep early. It's a night that such a godly light shines that you don't want to go to sleep. You go to sleep and you really when you fall asleep and you want to take the time after the not to talk, not to catch up, not to smoo with with with family or friends. It's a night that you read whatever you're able to read. If you know how to read the language of Hebrew, read Zohar at the at the night of Leed after Leed. Definitely read Shirim. I spoke about it two classes ago about Shiim, the Song of Songs by King Solomon. and whatever you can read, you can read. But that's not the night to go to sleep early. You can tap into this unbelievable godly light that will allow you to battle your challenges for the rest of the year. It will allow you to go out of your own mid for the rest of the year. It will allow you to to tap into the energy that for the next seven weeks you can start refining your midot. And throughout this, we will learn a lot about that. But if you miss the first night, you you you didn't get on the train. If you miss the train, it doesn't matter if you read. You have to tap into the first night. Why? Because that's where you birth the midot from the by eating the wine, reading the matzah, drinking the wine, following the order. If you miss that, you're missing the mo in the we have to refine. of the spir if you remember three classes ago we spoke about that the 10 plagues were corresponding to the 10 and every every plague had to refine one spir and to get the nama one level out. So I mentioned that the spir the the plagues go from the spir from bottom and up. Blood was corresponding to malot and was corresponding to the to the to the frog all the way up to which correspond to keter. So we went through that already again. But if if I don't do it the right way I'm I can't skip a level. I have to start from the intellect from the mine on the night of that's when I'm able to start refining my midot to be able to refine 49 vessels 49 kaleim that the time when I come to Shabbat I can receive the Torah and I can receive it in a way that it will affect my so you want to take the entire sil very serious you it starts now now when you clean the we still have three days. What do we have? Four days almost. Cleaning the KTS, searching the KTS, and nullification of the KTS, burning the KTS, all these stages. This is removing the kipah. You cannot start doing anything in holiness if there's a clip there. So you have to take it into the the level and the extent of the severity that you actually what you're doing now is what you wish to do the entire year. the entire year saying, "I wish I wouldn't have this desire now for this thing. I wish I didn't have this weakness for this thing. I wish I would be able to battle these thoughts that I have all year long." That's what you're wishing for yourself. But this is the week plus that you can actually achieve it. This is the week that you can clean. You burn the you burn the kipah. Monday morning, we're burning the kipah. That's it. 12:00 afternoon on Monday, there's no kipa in the universe. It's clean. You cleaned it out. I burned it. I don't have anything anymore. No. Now it's time to pull in this light. So seven days in every day in we're refining the already the first of yeah we go to but it's in and every day in that week is extremely powerful to tap in to derive this energy that will last for the entire year. That's what I want to focus on. I want to focus on that I have now an apicious time to tap in. I mean during the year one person will be lazy. He can't get up. Another person will be lazy. He doesn't want to say. Another person will be lazy. Doesn't want to pray. We all have a some type of a laziness for something. We're not perfect. And then I have all sorts of weaknesses. One person will have a weakness. Eats chocolate all day long. Another person has a weakness. Drinks wine every opportunity. Every person has an a weakness. And then we have also un undesired things that we desire very bad things for forbidden things. So we have to we battle it throughout the year because my nish is in time but I have to reveal my to take it out to take it out of its limitation that I don't battle that I don't want to battle that I want to be free. I want to be free of my thoughts free of my my emotions. I want to be free of whatever I desire that is forbidden. I want to be free. I want to be in control. Free is in control. That I am in control of the situation. I can go backwards and forth in front of the bakery and I don't care that the smell is unbelievable of the roal that came out of the oven right now. I want to be in control. And I know it sounds like a basic thing, but if you can control the you can control the ser the serious things. If you can't control the basic things, you'll never control the big things. So PES is the time that I can skip over all these bad things and my entire next year coming to me will re be reshaped completely different. I told you in the class of Nissan that in the first 14 days of Nissan is decided all the battles that I'm going to have to fight in the next coming year is decided in the first 14 days of Nissan. Whatever battle is going to be physically, emotionally, whatever it is, I'm going to I have a list of battles. I was created to fight battles. Just mean just cancel them all. Yeah. No, you don't necessarily I mean, listen, we're all going to have battles and and challenges, but it can be big challenges and it can be small challenges. I want it to be small challenges. Why? I'm not looking for a headache. I'm not looking to have big challenges. I will have challenges. We have to. That's part of the game. But let the challenge be the and not something else. And let the challenge be something simple and not now dealing now with my child, with my spouse, with my whatever it is. But I do have to go through challenges. That's what we explained in the class of the month of Nissan that the star that controls the month is madim is Mars and Mars is wars. But you have negative wars and you also have wars, positive wars. And I want to have positive battles in my life. and that I'm able to overcome them. So it's a very aspicious time. We have to take it serious and and make sure that I charge my nisha for the rest of the year because that is the time Nissan is the hesh is the original hesh. I mean we think that Rosh sh is the beginning of the year but Nissan is the beginning of the spiritual year and now it's when it starts. We're already 10 days in and uh I want to take make sure that this month is done the right way. We're only going to uh we only have left now at this point is to wish you should have a beautiful holiday should be kosher should be happy and I mean a lot of you will seem in our sedes will start right after pes follow the announcements because after pes I know the last month we were constantly pes next month we're going to start learning a lot about we'll go a little bit more into next level of of studying so we can learn a little bit more about this and more about the the the worlds and the elements in our nama. We're going to have an interesting seven weeks. So have a beautiful happy and kosher pes and we'll see you after [Music]
