Pesach: Top 10 Divrei Torah on the Haggadah to Inspire Your Family

this tour class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good evening everyone to unfortunately our third year in quarantine but although although the uh Torah has to be taught from empty show the nevertheless spark Hashem the cloud Israel are thirsting to hear the Devar Hashem which is refreshing water on the parched soul and this is our last Wednesday shared before the Leo Scottish the last ah Wednesday night show before the omtive of pesach so on this occasion I would like to share with you although we're still reeling and trying to figure out how to manage and navigate the situation that we find ourselves in but pesach is coming ready or not and in about a week's time in a week from tonight we're going to be sitting at the say there and probably somewhat of a different circumstance and we're accustomed to we might not have our whole extended family with us it might be a very limited say there this year but nevertheless everybody say there is I want to share with you what I call 10 degree Torah the top 10 delivery Torah to inflame your soul to inspire your family now we're not really allowed to say top 10 device but nevertheless these are some of the uh my favorite old times and we're going to go and order the Seder so let's begin Friedman once told me on an era of pesach to speak with him and he told me over this and there's something about it that I really love so I called him this week I said revi is this imprint in any of this forum and it was not it was not in print but uh the SRI Pinnacles was kind enough to send me his personal notes so let us begin we know that on Yom Kippur there is a custom especially among the ashkenazin to wear a kitto to wear a white uh linen garment to a white garment a robe without any Pockets without any hem in fact amazingly the report is that rookheim kaneevsky asked to that somebody purchased for him a brand new white Kittle this year and when asked why does the Rob need a brand new kitto said I would like a baguette to be macaville to name Michelle but we hope so we know there's a minute to wear a kettle on Yom Kippur now what's the reason for that Minogue drama brings down in our Sim and toughrish there are two reasons for it number one to be like the Malachi asharis we know the Malachi the navi says about the angels that their love of them they wear white linen garments so to be like the Heavenly angels we know that on Yom Kippur were compared to Angels therefore we wear a kettle on Yom Kippur secondly the Rama brings the reason that the kitto is a vegan is the Garment that someone is buried in and therefore this will subdue and humble a person's heart on a day that we have to do to shuva so the question is why do we wear a kit to why is the minute to wear a Kittle at the cedar so the Hassan brings that the minute to wear a kitten had to say there is similar to Yom Kippur because it's such an important night and because the father is charged with responsibility to give over to his children to give over the tenets of emuna the fundamental principles of faith and this is the most important job of the year and therefore the most important nights of the year and therefore in order to ensure that the father will not be lazy will not will not uh take any allowances for himself but instead it will be completely devoted and focused on this sacred task we tell the father put on the Garment of the Kittle put on the Garment you're going to be buried with indicating this might not this might be your last opportunity to give over to your children all the principles of their Muna so the Hassan says one of the reasons that drama brings down to where a kittal by Yom Kippur applies to pesach as well but what about the reason the other reason of the Rama to be like Malachi and here is where the srile pinchas comes in and he says a beautiful idea giga Malachi that actually we're gonna read this week is the lips of the Cayenne will guard knowledge and Torah will seek out from his mouth because he's an Heavenly Angel and the gemara darshins is like an angel if your Ruby has the sanctity of an Angel the straightness of an Angel the personality of an Angel then you should seek tire from him but if the rebbies Midas are lacking don't learn from him only learn from Arabi whose me dice whose character's personality is like a malach Hashem the night of pesach every father is charged with the mission to give over to his son the principles of emunah the principles of the Torah of avas Hashem of Ash of hashem's Interest ability and strength so the father is becoming the child's primary rebe the Knight of the say there and what if the kid turns to Dad and says Dad you're a great guy dad you know you taught me how to play ball you taught me many life skills but Dad You Ain't No Angel well that one thing I know for sure I respect you I honor you but you ain't no malach so therefore the father puts on the kitto so that the night of the say there the father turns to the kid and says kid tonight I'm a Mala tonight revansham has invested me with the ability with the kayak with the wherewithal with the spiritual energy to give over to you the tradition of taramisinai so therefore that's another reason why we wear the kettle the night of the cedar because Cincinnati stay there the father becomes a child's revi in fact the night of the say there we say that the father is so we move on to divaratory number two now the barter number two we're going to make we're going to give it a little commercial um I'm sure many have heard a news safer came out on pesach and if anyone out there wants to do me a personal favor the many copies have been printed but unfortunately because of the matzov uh it's very hard to sell all the stores are closed and it's very hard to disseminate the safer however a good friend of mine was kind enough to set up a link that anyone could order the safer with free delivery to anywhere in the United States if you order the safer now I believe he said it is guaranteed there are no guarantees in life but you're secure that you'll have it at your sailor table so how do you order it so you're watching this year you go to torahanytime.com go to speakers go to gladstein by the bio there's a link that says to order Magnum pesach click here you click there it's a very discounted price right now with free shipping and I'm gonna tell you these 10 different Tyra where they appear in the safer so the next ritatora is in mimer page we know the night of pesach is called Cedar order and the reason it's called order is because everything we do the night of hey Sach we do with an order not only do we have an order we read the order we recite the order somebody says where we are in the order of operations we say it and the question of the shemuel a very interesting question he says if you think about the order the order is exactly backward the order is out of order Kadesh because this is not just an order of operations this is a charge of how a person should Elevate themselves should we mikadish themselves should be malar themselves and we tell the person Kadesh sanctify yourself and then wash and guard and clean yourself as the shemal this is completely out of order isn't the typical order first you want yourself and then you sanctify yourself like the possible [Laughter] you will wash and then you will anoint first you wash and then you polish first you wash and then you shine first you wash and then you sanctify don't we say surmeira Turn Away From Evil and then do good why is it then the order of operations it's sanctify yourself and then cleanse yourself that's not the typical order the typical order is surmeiran only then they were wallowing they were languishing in egyptuma had they remained there a moment longer they would have fallen to the point of no return comes and says you then let's go we're going to Cena we're going to be the mama you're being charged with the greatest mission that the world has ever known and the Jews say what say what we us we're dirty we're sullied we worship the idols we have sin we have to clean ourselves we have to wash our desire and only then we could sanctify emotion said no you didn't guess what three vansham is making a new deal with you he's saying that now you could just jump into kadusha you could do Kadesh you could bring the Quran pesach and do the Mila and you'll worry about cleaning yourself in the 49 days after you get out but tonight there's a new order the New Order is typically it's surmeira and only then but when it comes to others there's a new order the order is first sanctify yourself the night of the say there we have a unique opportunity the rest of the year when a person when a person is inspired to do great things the eight Sahara will come to us with a pretty good taina how are you gonna do these great Mitzvahs and sanctify yourself you're so solid you're so dirtied and that's something we have to reckon with but the night of the say there we have the ability to jump into kadusha even while we're dirtied and sullied that's the usage very often in life we feel we would like to come close to Hashem we would like to accomplish great things but we feel bogged down dirty sullied perhaps by private Sahara's of solely by aviros we may have done the night of the say that we have a unique opportunity that the reborn says don't worry Kadesh just jump into kadushan only then only then you could wash yourself this is the concept that the Harem writes the month of Nissan is that the month of Nissan literally is a month that we're surrounded by Yeshua but the Sephora hasidos teach us it's all it also means it's a month that Yeshua is it's a month that salvation is so to speak on credit meaning God gives us a freebie yes we're going to have to pay back ultimately we're going to have to do the surmeira but the Republicans allows us to jump into kadusha even before we do we cleanse ourselves I want to share with you really a wondrous vart this is uh I saw this in the Haggadah of the Sam soy Fair although the Sam Cipher himself does not say this but it's sort of based on something he says I also saw this attributed to the belzareba even though in the officials form of bells it's not brought down quite like this but this is a Advantage I heard in my youth and a very fundamental point to the say there and I think something that will resonate with us especially this year this year for all you nation is out there if you're married and your kids are married and they're out of the house so you gotta brush up on your Manish Dana because you're going to be saying the manashtana this year and some people somebody told me you know he wants to write a composition called the saddest pesach but although it seems that way don't get down don't get down on yourself don't get down on the situation because let me tell you you will be having an amazing guest to stay there you're going to have the guest of a lifetime we know Magid begins with and interestingly it begins in Aramaic why does the Haggadah begin in Aramaic I personally Aramaic is not my first language and I don't think too many people of you out there Aramaic is your first language why begin the Haggadah in Aramaic so it is quoted as follows the gemara says in Shabbos then when Rebel Lazar would visit he would sometimes give him a Brach and Aramaic and say rahmana yet Karina God should remember you for peace and the question is the gemara says the Angels do not deal and do not handle and do not work with the language of Aramaic so if you're gonna pray and offer it feel and Aramaic the angels will not understand it and the gemara says no when you dive in it's different because so anyone out there who's suffering now during this very harsh virus realize you're not alone there's this somebody sitting with you there's someone on top of your bed there's someone who feels your Tsar the screen is with you usually the srina is in the bate or is today the srina is with the Israel a friend of mine rep Rafael who lives in France once sent me amarsha the martial says that the name Israel indicates that the Republic is a joint partner with the Jewish people we're with God God is with us so I thought to say you know you ever wonder in rufainu we say what this means we say why do we say God's the king in Rafael because that means if he's the king he has every refuel at his disposal God has every resource at his disposal to bring us he's a king he's a Roy fanaman he's a trustworthy Roy fan he you could rely on him to kill to heal Israel come on he's merciful but why do we say kale why do we end the offer of I think it's because kikele God is our partner in this you know who suffers the most he's there and at the sick bed he feels the tsarah it hurts to replenish them more than it hurts and therefore Lazar was able to pray for an Aramaic because the Rebellion Islam is at the sick bed he's at the head of the sick bed um so therefore the Zaya teaches us that the night of pesach you know who comes to your house it might not be your son-in-law this year it might not be your daughter it might not be your son it might not be your father or mother no this year you're on your own pal this year everyone has to have to say they're by themselves but don't worry even if your say there is by yourself do you know who comes to your say there is to indicate the same way when you dive in at the bed in Aramaic because who's at the head of the bed three bonus so to indicate that the Republic is at the head of your seder table to indicate that you banishum is in your house with you and you don't need my welcome tonight you don't need Scruff him you don't need any intermediary is at your table we begin the Aramaic to teach us to illuminate to bring out this idea that the revenues at your and he's keeping you company don't worry you're not on your own is with you at your Cedar themo number four so we ask all these good questions you know some families they have four kind of kids right mayor some they have one kids one kids of Russia one kid's a Tom one kids are saying some have a couple extra of one kind some have a couple extra of another one Hashem by us but they ask Akasha they ask a bunch of great questions why do we eat matzah why do we eat marar why do we lean why do we dip can I tell you something we don't give answers to the questions does anybody see in the Haggadah they ask the manashtana there's not a word mentioned about the master oh right oh at the end of Magid we say would say that you have to say the reason for matzah that's the answer to Manchester now maybe oh and RAM gum Leo would say the reason for Mara there's not one word in the entire hagada why we lean there's not one word in the entire Haggadah why we dip so the kid asks the questions finally the kid's been practicing the question for the entire year you've paid thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of tuition and had your kid trained with teleconferences and zooms just so they could ask the question Manish Tana why don't you bother giving the kid an answer Shapiro but this is all you ever know right now there are four bends at the table Ben Ben Ben Ben is gamatria 52.ini is 208 Ben Ben Ben that indicates the lechemaini which is 208 somehow is a response to the questions of the four bands now the truth is not every kid asks a question says the Russia says the time says you need to elicit the question so how many Mas are there the night of the Seder three um so we have three Mass do we have any answers what's the gematry of MA times 3 45 plus 45 plus 45 135. you know what's 135 matzah you know what the answer to the manustana is we don't need to say a word we don't have to articulate anything just eat the matzah when you eat the matzah 135 that is the answer to the ma ma ma the matzo is the bread of amuna when you ingest the matzah you just get it some questions when something occurs you know the answer you have the intuition of the answer the answer to the manistana is matzah when you eat the bread of amuna it you ingest it you digest it you recompose the molecules and you just get it number five now this is the abarabanel and if you want to see it in the safer it's in my mermaid says the holy of arbinal we have a story about revileza and we have tarfoine and Ruby Akiva and Ravi nazaria and where are they they're in benebrock and where there tell me them they're not around yet and what are these great I know I'm doing they're being misatures they're talking about the whole night so I don't know about you but there's something called to stay up all night that's torture staying up all night is torturous you want to talk for an hour two hours three hours the whole night go to sleep what are they doing the whole night now let's add a question that's not on the sheet and this is the question of the South Michigan which you will also find in my mercaptas in the safer and that is we have a macholicus in the beginning of tesser Saw between Azaria and Ravi Akiva as to the man of bringing the carbon Passage so rabi Akiva says that this man of the Quran is now we know that the Mitzvah of matzah is hukash is compared to akilas pesach says so until when could you eat matzah so Revelation says are the lights on on the Bluetooth are the lights on says that yeah both sides are on Elizabeth says that just like the whole night and what is this man of supreme so we know when what is this man of super easy sometime it's dependent on the matzah because it's uh so that means according to abikiva the midst of sipur is the entire night and according to Allah if that's the case what in the world Isaiah doing speaking about is the whole night waste his time there's no Mitzvah go learn something why is he being Mitzvah after this is brought the whole night so Supreme is a whole night but what's rebelsary doing now the abarbanel in order to answer his question of what these were doing torturing themselves staying up all night to speak about existence that barbarell says the reason they did that did this is for the following purpose the night of itself we have to commemorate and we have to remember and relive the experience of leaving Egypt let's think for a moment what did the Jewish people do the night of yitzis so that barbarell says the night of utsius the first half of the night they eat they were busy being mithaiya Mitzvah is what were they doing the second half of the night they were up all night preparing themselves to leave therefore these sages wanted to fulfill the great Mitzvah of Adam leharose a person is obligated to demonstrate and display and show themselves as if they themselves were in Egypt and or to demonstrate that they themselves were in Egypt they relieved the experience by staying up the entire entire night of the sea there so the ababinellas saying they weren't staying up all night just to say over the story but this is the manner in which they relive the actual experience as well that based on the suburbanel we could answer the Kasha of the Michigan why was herbalism and Azalea speaking about Youth Season sign the whole night the Mitzvah was over at Hudson and they explained granted the Mitzvah of relating the events the midst of seafood sandwich but the Mitzvah of reliving the experience that continues the whole night since when they actually left Egypt they were leaving the whole night so there are two halachim of the mid so there's the Mitzvah of sipur and there's a midst of Adam and therefore they were reliving The Experience so here we're learning that there's a Mitzvah not only to imagine yourself like you left Egypt but uh demonstrate and act as if you left Egypt that might not be so easy every year every year you have your grandkids around you have your uncle around you're embarrassed you know where are your emotions on your sleeves and to really relive the experience but now it's just you and your immediate family Let it Loose really relive The Experience Envision imagine in a real way that you we're actually in Egypt and then now number six this is really one of my all-time thoughts period the mission says do a little excuse me say little do a lot someone comes to you you say yeah I can help you a little bit help them a lot help them more than you say you're going to do let your actions speak louder than your words and the where do we learn this from we see this from avram avinu who said uh to his guests we'll bring you a little bit of bread and then he brought them butter and milk and meat and where did avraham avina learn this from in other words where do we see this practice by the Almighty an amazing thing we know all the Miracles that God performed in Egypt and we're going to see how many there were there were literally hundreds and hundreds of Miracles Hashem predicted and prophesied to avraham these Miracles by the Brisbane havasara with how many words did God Express that he will bring Marcus in Egypt foreign done two letters and how many miracles did those two letters bring hundreds and hundreds of Miracles two letters God spoke little and look how much he did says you're upset you're going let's extrapolate if When God says two letters he makes hundreds of Miracles so how many letters did God predict the amazing grandiose magnificent events how many pages chapters foreign dozens hundreds thousands of words so if two letters of God spell hundreds of Miracles then what do thousands of words of gods mean it means it's going to be Usman and an ace tell your children tell your families Coming Attractions whatever we recite the night of the say there it's nothing compared to the Miracles God will do for us when he brings us Israel what what a invaluable teaching that we could give over to our families let's make for all you gomatria lovers out there an incredible sasamas how many miracles in fact did God perform in Egypt so we know there were 10 makays but then we bring a Bryce or avocrayim 50am and rebelser says no 40 in 200 alayam and Rabbi Cuba says 250 Lam let's add them all up 10 and 50 is 60. remember 40 and 200 240. plus the sixty three hundred Rabbi Kiva 50 and 250 another 300 600. plus the 10 makois plus 3 6 13. there are 10 makois that branched into 613 Macos they're 10 dibrois that Branch into 613 Mitzvahs what we're witnessing in Egypt are the Yad Hashem the revelation of divine attributes of ten Mako is branching into 613 forms and Maneuvers and phenomenon of practice which then crystallize as Tana debris and 613 Mitzvahs that's why we needed moisture to perform the Macos because the makois were Torah they were the seeds they were incipient level of tyro which is but the incredible rammas of the sasamas foreign the following may be the most important yes we say dayeno it is that's right how many dayenus 15 nainos for 13 ayenas depending how you look at it and then we say Allah or the more so it doubled repeated benefit that God did this and he did that but we refer to the great miracles of The Exodus as toiva kefoula um why do we refer to the Miracles of yuzrayim as doubled and repeated miracles and this is an idea that is spoken about at lent in in mimer your dalid on Page in the safer The Humble safer magnarokia foreign and he says a wondrous society and the truth is that as you saw it in at least six places as I took you out of Egypt I will show you miracles we know that the book of voracious ramban says it's called The Book of yitzira the book of creation why is it the book of creation because every act and every happening and every story that happened to the others was the pre-enactment the Paradigm the myself of what will happen to the Jewish people so avraham goes to Israel a Jew has an urge to go to the Holy Land I'm ravino after going there has to go to Egypt and he doesn't question Hashem yet is able to say called and Sarah is abducted so later on the Jewish people go down to mithraim and they try to kill the boys and abduct the girls every situation that occurred to the others was a pre-enactment upon him not only say fibration say for says well every occurrence every miracle in this triumphs ever it was only practice it was only a dress rehearsal for the great Miracles that are in store that God will bring makos on our enemies was the practice was the trial was the dress rehearsal for all the great Miracles that will occur in the there will be amaka's damn we will cross through the yams of every single Maca will repeat itself and therefore we thank Hashem because every Makkah is doubled and repeated because not only did it contain that Maca but it hadn't at the latent seeds for the immaculous of the future Dev Arturo number nine the holy friend this will be found in my craft tests Paige shintesvav whenever we do a Mitzvah we make a bracha before we put on fill in we make a bracha we put on [Music] we make a bracha whenever we take a look we make we Mass we make a bracha we eat Mara we make a bracha we do is wait a second there's a clowns whenever we make we always make the bracha before so why in the world the night of the Seder if you're gonna say on the sipur but we make the bracha after the performance of the Mitzvah we should do it before we've said earlier that the night of the Seder it's not enough to recount the event you need to relive the event you need to act as if you were in Egypt expands this principle not only do you need to relive the experience as if you're in Egypt but since the requirement of relating the events says you need to be good you need to talk about how you worshiped Idols in Egypt that means you also need to Envision and imagine that you are an idolater you're not even Aid the night of the sea there you need to imagine you're not even Aid and the proof to this is every single night of the year whenever we break bread we make us we break the bread and we don't even make a brock you know why because right now we're good we're not even Jewish yet part of reliving the experience it needs to be so real to you that it's as if you left Egypt that what you do is you imagine that you're a guy he says even though we always make Ruckus before the performance of the Mitzvah there's one Mitzvah that you can't make the Baraka before you have to make the Baraka after and that is when a girl goes to the Mikvah the Garrett cannot say before he goes to the Mikvah because he's not Jewish he wasn't commanded he could only make the bracha after he goes to the Mikvah so too says I'm sorry for the night of the save there we're not authorized to say while we're still we need to actually leave and after we left and we drink the case of gaula we say to the river Islam now we're able to make the bracha let us continue now to the final of the night and that is that is as follows the final laboratory of the night number 10. this is this is a bamba of Akasha this is an amazing Kasha foreign you need to say three things this is out of order first commemorates the bitterness the bondage matzah commemorates the freedom why in the world would we commemorate the freedom before we commemorate the bondage it should be Mara and then matzo why mods that is completely backward first should become the mother of the bondage the bitterness first we have the bitterness and then we had the freedom another question we say in every generation is obligated to Envision themselves as if they themselves left matrayim why but we didn't leave Messiah I wasn't in Egypt you were in Egypt oh but if God wouldn't have saved our ancestors so we wouldn't be here and if God wouldn't have saved us from Haman we wouldn't be here either and there's no Mitzvah to imagine yourself as if Haman wanted to kill you if God didn't save us from the times of Hanukkah in times of Antiochus got we wouldn't be here and yet there's no mits on Hanukkah to imagine and envision as if you yourself laughing at Triumph why then friends are we obligated to imagine something that never occurred says fasten your seat belts the balance tells us such an important principle for the night of the Sailor he says don't make the mistake and think that the primary celebration of the night of yet is you know what we're celebrating we're celebrating the fact that we had life was bitter in Egypt they made our life miserable they tortured us they harassed us they tortured our families they killed our children they brutalized us and now we're free that's not the main thing we're celebrating if that was the main thing we were celebrating we would first mention the mara first eat the Mara and then eat the matzah the reason we eat the Masa first is to indicate the primary celebration is not the release from the bitterness the primary celebration is God took us as his chosen people now when God took us as his chosen people God didn't just choose those people who were alive in Egypt and we happen to be the beneficiaries God looked throughout history he looked through all the generations and he said I want this people in its entirety to be mine I want them to be my avadim I want them to be my bunnym I want them to have eras Israel I want them to have Torah and I want them to have ulam Haba that is the primary celebration of pesach that God took me and you and our grandparents and our great grandparents and our children to be his even if we were Kings imitzrayim even if we were living the good life in the Triumph we would still have a pesach the fact that things were bitter and now they're improved that's an afterthought first we eat the matzah then we eat the more we eat the matzo to indicate the main thing is the freedom the freedom to be of the Hashem the people of God um that God acquired us that God took us to be his and after that we say oh by the way another benefit is Mara things were terrible in Egypt and God bailed us out but that's the secondary thought now if the main celebration is things were bad in Egypt and God took us out we would have no obligation at all to imagine ourselves as if we were in Egypt you know what Allah is if you find a place where a miracle was done to your forefathers you make a bracha blessed are you God that you made a miracle for my forefathers and yet the night of the Savior we say God you redeemed us and that is because God redeemed us because the main celebration is not the release from the bondage that was for them and that's not what we really relive the main celebration is God took us and regarding this great happiness and fortune that God took us we and them are equal beneficiaries and the way we imagine that God took us as well is by envisioning and imagining imagining that we ourselves were in Egypt because the benefit of leaving mitzrayim equally accrued to them and to us as well so these are what I call my top 10 so we wear a Kittle the night of the say there says the sriley pinchas number one to show our children in fact tonight we are like malachim and we could teach you Tyra the shami shmuel number two teaches us that the night of the Seder there's a different order we don't have to clean ourselves and then do midsouths we could jump into kadusha and worry about the storm Iraq later so I'm sorry for number three teaches us that the Haggadah begins in Aramaic to teach that to be banish them himself is at our stay there number four remote Shapiro teaches that the answer to the Manish Tana to the mama 135 is matzah eat the matzo you'll understand number five that barbaranel says that these stayed up all night not just to recount the story but to relive the story to demonstrate that they themselves left Egypt number six repsad you're going quoted by Robin says performed all the Miracles of Egypt with two letters done then just imagine the on that scale the grandiose the Magnificent Miracles will perform through all all the words of the navient teaches us number seven that the total number of Macos the 10 and the 50 and the 40 and the 200 and the 50 and the 250 and the 10 and the three 613 Macos every Maca was says number eight because not only was it for them but it was for all time it was the pre-enactment of flies number ninefer says that the reason we don't make a Brach on the beginning of the Haggadah is to bring out and illustrate that we actually relive the experience and imagine that we're if they have a desire and finally number 10 the naseebos teaches us that Mara is an afterthought we need to imagine ourselves that we were in Egypt so that we could feel that the benefit of leaving of becoming the amashem equally a cruise to them to us and to them as well we hope we pray this pesach EV after so much Jewish suffering foreign class brought to you by torahanytime.com
