Pesach Program 6: Your Personal Marror

[Music] hey Louie let's see I know see I know me much I am hot see I know me much I am done oh oh I'm sorry are we on ha ha you know I'm finished we've finished everything is covered put out the pace to dick a Calum I've been have my special pace off oh I just spilled the coffee this is special paisa edition of the rabbi Orlovsky show and the special Pesach program that we're having and that's it I'm done just sitting down having a cup of coffee tasted the coffee pace of the coffee is the best because you know you open up a brand new one just for pace on ah everything's fresh everything's fresh and delicious and clean and nice and we had the easiest year this year I just covered everything in alone foil I wrapped my children in aluminum foil everything is covered in aluminum foil and that's it it's hard to get the water out because I covered the entire forest in a little [ __ ] but everything is cut with just relaxing getting ready for the Seder and and we're we're joining together have a cup of coffee singing Pesach songs getting ready is the Mishnah I'm sorry if you don't understand these three things you have not fulfilled your obligation I am NOT possibly not positive but this fellow his wife was so inconsiderate she decided to go into labor on earth paisa I mean what some people will do to get out of cleaning right anyway say go to the hospital and she gives birth and by the time he gets home he only has a little bit of time left till cut says what does he do so he was told you do the manage tender huh you do I was in Marino and then you cut the robbing gambling on me because women Gamliel a mayor is the highlight through poor planning it's at the end of the Seder when everybody's already buzzed out yeah after Diana Diana which is so much fun one or two verses 15 is just overkill and most of them don't fit in to the tune at all yeah hey Louie Luciano Luciano meme it's fine but he's pick but Santa Barbara but I'm trying to die a know I always give that line we give out the lines I always give that line to somebody who's got an attitude chew on that one anyway so you have to know the ones that fit in you know Louie look Karl arz never alone nothing I know I said tie red dye you get the ones but there aren't too many of them no trick there so they tend to get the rumbly oh I'm mayor it's a little difficult well difficult so I want to focus on that which is I guess the most important part of the Seder and going to certainly shown him if you don't understand these three things you're not even yo se no Mitzvah after you have to mama to understand them and I want to point out that the podcast this week is sponsored anonymously as a Swiss for a couple of years but not to mention their names and it's a little tricky sometimes because when I mentioned people's names it could be there's enough information there that people can put it together I have promised where I tell stories sometimes that I give too many details and then people figure out what I'm talking about and it's it's not good so they asked if I could just have their names in mind as we do the podcast so there should be a source for and they should have partner sativa czar ashoka yama shawl and bias and your shamaya and and all that good stuff yeah when people ask me for a brother I say I give you my mother's bra I wish everything for you that you wish for yourself yeah which is a problem because sometimes people would depress and I were to kill himself anyway put that aside this guy was going to kill himself and it was really depressed so I opened up the Bible and then so it said do unto others as you'll do unto yourself so he killed someone else now that story is wrong on just so many levels first of all that line doesn't exist but it is funny and that's the point because by this point we have provided you with over 15 hours of very close to Torah content the only podcast doing this whatever this is in any event so I want to officially welcome everybody to the real Las keep a stop program and as I mentioned in the past I'm waiting for an outpouring of requests that next Pesach we should find a nice little hotel in Israel and have the Orlovsky Pesach program where basically you'll spend present with me and my family will provide all the programming you'll have all the same fun that we have here yeah one can only imagine I already get that kind of fun where can you go for a basic program where the president judges screaming at you and throws you out I'm kidding of course I'm kidding a lot of Pesach programs like that but anyway so so where can we learn Mayer now somebody actually wrote me when he heard that there was an idea that we were going to do as soon as visit problems they said could you finally answer that question that you always ask in your Sheeran why do we eat matzah and I have a routine on this to try to prove relevance yeah why do we why do we eat matzah it's a it's a whole it's a whole thing I'm not gonna do it now but as luck would have it I did a share this past matzah Shabbos and tour anytime filmed it so it should be up there if you want to go see an answer to the Pesach poem we're not gonna do with the present thing and if you take a look when you go to and maybe I'll ask you that come Slayers podcast slash 31 there will be a link there if you want to go and see that particular ship in any event I want to focus on the remaining two yeah and that is pace up and burrow I'm gonna cut for a moment tomorrow mug Morrow is a midst room because the Egyptians made our lives bitter now my father came from Poland they made him tough back a bullet they had to make him tougher pull I remember reading in the Holocaust that the Jews who came from Western Europe many of them committed suicide in the camps because they couldn't handle it not a Polish a Yid polish she did was made tough yeah suppose she get is on his deathbed and his families gathered around it says marshal are you here yes yes started yong-chol are you here yes doctor I am car you here yes that then who's watching the store this doesn't meant the police to you so he used was radish root for Mara yeah and he'd give her chunks of it and I had gone to day school and I said dad you can't use horseradish root because people can't eat it you know unless you grade it up I think shouldn't they had chopped it on to life like it's an apple goes oh yeah that boy is a year I taught this story over when Simon said my father was also a boy to you you know when you make the hero says and you're grading the apples and eating a piece of Apple he's to do that with tomorrow hey great admit chomp on some along the way it was like a snack food you know and I'm tough back in the old country yeah we romaine lettuce leaves if you want like a really intense experience you use the use of the stork that on that little matzo chart is only a three by five is then index card if anyone who still uses index cards don't even know there are such things anyone but you know that's how much you need to have of the storks and we know how terribly bitter those are use them people make salads out of this stuff all the time and and this is Maura that's bitterness I was using lettuce leaves but jumping root and he's like that that's called Maura did you go Maura that's bitterness it makes the Gemara in em Sulkin even more interesting because I'mI'm Sock'em says that one of the reasons that you dip the the Maura into the Carosa is to counteract this type of poison that's in it do we have anybody dying from like romaine lettuce overdose and you have to worry about this yeah and isn't it interesting the camera says what is the corrosive cirrhosis is packed with stuff we know why we Maura Maura because of the bitterness we know eat matza because the ghoul that came so quickly we know he'd pace us cuz I could borrow help or Sacco both Lebanese well he passed over their houses yeah Passover yeah and according to one cheetah and the Carosa is also a mitzvah so what's the closest for the Carosa siz to remember the the mud that they used to make the bricks Rashi says that they oppressed us with bricks and mortar with work in the field and all the different types of work within the terrible avodah voters para this was the least of it it kept getting worse the the bricks and mortar were the least of the work that we had to deal with and and we dip it in to remove the poison of the romaine lettuce people eat salad all the time they never dip it in the hibiscus and by the way you just dip it in sugar Vito you the closest yeah which we had the horseradish root that's what most of us did we would get it sucker [ __ ] roses maybe lick those radish like that was enough you know but we always have grated horseradish my my Seder for those who want that you know they pour it a little bit on the car it's good cleans you out clears out your sinuses but the closest Itzhak letit it's ankle claw Israel says you use the different fruits that class was compared to so far - Acharya says uses a lot of those fruits we just use apples we use that goes in and tap oh yeah where it says they would give birth under the apple tree they would have birth on the apple tree in the world the ground would swallow up the babies and would nurse them and take care of them and you know and that apple tree showed that that love between you know husband and a wife hence don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me figures in the acronym anyway but you know so we have apples we have nuts closet so her osis is there to represent how courage Baraka loves clio and it's there to cancel out the poison in the Mara and it's there to remind us about the bricks and mortar oh and also we add red wine to it because supposed to be a little liquidy so it reminds us of the dumb so it makes it a table this is the dump whereas this is blood so it's blood it's Claro it's mortar we're doing so much with this stuff that we don't even we just dip it in to counteract the poison yeah so let's talk a little bit about about bitterness there's a short book called a day in the life of Ivan Denisovich which describes this fellow who's in I said better in prison camp and it's terrible work freezing cold very little food this was during World War two that he was sent there for whatever reason and he says this captain of a ship was sent there because he lost some naval battle and they sent him there he says he was watching him as he's eating his little fish stew that they give you he says he's too proud to break the fish bones and suck out the marrow he's not gonna make it because you need every little piece of nutrition you can get and they they were given a job that they building a wall and whatever was you know and at the end of the day he's reviewing his day isn't that because I built a wall and I enjoyed doing it that's an amazing concept there because at least you want to feel like you're doing something worthwhile I was my first year as a teacher and young teachers have difficulty with discipline they don't have a discipline so I one of the older younger teachers he'd been there for longer he says this is what you do when a kid misbehaves you give him something to write like a hundred times and then when he hands it in you rip it up in front of it to show him that he has nothing to show for his work I did this once I don't know about the kid but I was totally traumatized a punishment should be something I once heard really silver he was explaining different things about human language he says Oh Nash is I in rush see that you've fallen it's a no nation and Harnish is there that it's not supposed to be vindictive it's supposed to be you know from mine tell me his kid once did something bad and he said with his room and he says I want you to sit there until you figure out how many dear races you would just die okay there's something worthwhile there ya think do something worthwhile but you give somebody a job and then you just destroy it just to show him that everything that they did was worthless and that's what the myths from did to us that was the avoid Apsara this was breaking we would we would bill make these bricks and build these buildings and Pete tome and ROM says they were in swamps where they would get swallowed up or they were in a place where the earthquakes would not get down and we would just have to do it over and over again the most frustrating thing is they have to do it over again I saw a bumper sticker that said how come there's never enough time to do it right but there's always enough time to do it over mmm think about it think about what you're doing but if you do something and it turns out there was nothing there you had nothing to show for it when we finish the mass esta so in the Kaddish we say afterwards I don't mail it may have a mailing I know I may limit comments I haven't man the matter becomes car we work and they work we work and receive reward they work and they don't receive reward don't receive what people get fined salaries make a lot of money this is half of time I'll tell you what it means I go to a shoemaker and I want a very specific type of shoe he says oh I've never made this before but you know it's gonna cost X amount of dollars fine and he spends a week I come to me says could make the shoes I couldn't make the shoes and and here's my bill I said what here's my bill I had to spend on materials and I spent my time I want to compensate it says you get compensated for the product yeah we pay for goods and services not for good intention not for trying I'm a cleave to pay you for the fact that you decided to try not to give you anything we're the neighbor years ago they she used to make these health food things and nobody is gonna make her a carrot cake and she was rushed everything goes three hits she was in a rush so instead of using the side of the grater that you know really grates the carrots she used like the foot that like sort of like slices into pieces she made the carrot cake and this is disgusting I can't eat this and she she does the story and she was she was so upset as I spent time I spent my but you know you did it wrong cuz yeah I was an erogenous but people weren't getting a real carrot cake is that a cake it up and make you know oh gosh I could only imagine look at him with his dad anyway so they didn't pay her and she was very absurd she put a dice burn effort hey mamela manna becomes far they work and then i'll game thing on a melon accountants car we work and we get reward i was a first time we spent a week on a my rashad trying to come up with shot we tried this we tried this we tried this and after a week we said nope let's give it done we don't have shot no no no know what it means so I said to my Rebbe I said then we just wasted a week he says no we proved that nobody else has shot either now if you're paying me for four results I have no results I have no results Rasputia Lipsky once said the sign of a London is someone who knows that it has good questions giving good answers that's prosze that's what you do for a living you're not gonna make it unless you're able to give answers but the ability is to be able to figure out what the questions are the difference is that we get paid for the effort even if we don't produce something but in this world you want to produce something you want to feel like it's worthwhile this doesn't reflect well on me but I've pointed out many times that's not the purpose of this podcast and a review said to me Olaf's key everyone has a purpose yours is to be a bad example I always try to live up to that I don't know how people say the long tacklin on Mondays and Thursdays in the amount of time that they give you there's no way I can do it I can do it and I have no qivana imagine for somebody who has qivana III I can't I I have a DD I can't concentrate you know so what I do is I finish Shmona s right usually before everybody else and I right away start saying the talent so I get halfway through but the time they stop cause I saw shots and then afterwards I can get through half of it and the amount of time to give and I'm gonna get through half of it and they give a bang ah we have a person and I know we have a moil no tockman I think to myself what a waste and you said half of a lump document for nothing yes that I could have gotten out of it so uh I didn't say much about me and my approach to to prayer but anyway but yeah you want to feel like you're doing something pace it pace off Kron loves this is he enjoys speaking I enjoy speaking I don't enjoy speaking so much I do it because I know that I'm good at it and I really can't do anything else so they say those who can do those who can't teach those who can't teach become speakers but he said to me once he says if he's prepared add Russia and then he shows up and the event is canceled even got to pay it for him he's very disappointed was he prepared keep a pretty special if I prepared and I show up and it's canceled they say then get paid anyway I have tremendous sigh of relief I recently just spoke by somebody's home they brought me in to give a share and they were they had a lovely buffet beforehand and said you want to eat something I said I try not to eat before I speak I get too nervous I'm doing this for many years I still get a little nervous if they got to speak yeah but somebody prepared add Russian they want to give edge Russia did get very disappointed there was a synagogue group that came during the summit to Israel and they were captured met with my terrorist and he's gonna execute the entire group but I'll give each one of you a last wish so the rabbi says well I've been working on my drush afore Kol Nidrei I want to get my dresser first he says granted anybody else the cousin says I've done a newness at a Tokyo that I have composed and I'd like to sing it first says okay anyone else the synagogue president says I prepared my state of the synagogue address that I wanted to give over the High Holidays I'd like to give it first cause anybody else the shaman says kill me first people want to give their speeches people like to give it you know as soon as you go to these Shoals they have somebody speakable amirev and the person is 10 minutes and 20 minutes later you look at the clock look at the watch back the clock if Shana I'm she's okay can I continue and the only somebody goes yeah yeah sure good people I mentioned this when I was at the agouti convention Pesek Rosen said prepared to run late because people just can't believe that they're speaking at the Agora convention they just can't stop can't stop but if you prepare and you don't get a chance to give it people were disappointed we worked like crazy making these bricks work there were thorns our fingers were bleeding Oh miscarried into the into the mud and they wouldn't let her stop and her kid became a part of the mixture and they built these buildings and they all collapsed I was interesting when Menachem Bagan went to Egypt so he kept saying I want to see the pyramids cuz we built that those are people built that we built this we thought they would and the Egyptians were getting upset and finally one of them pulls out a plumber she says it says you worked with brick and mortar these are made out of stone he was like okay it's always bad when the Egyptian is the one quoting a blessing fee already there but we worked and we saw it all destroyed when we come to her c9 we reach the highest level of neva this unbelievable level prophecy where we heard the sights and soared the sounds it was something I was an unbelievable prophetic experience and though we look up the posix says we saw under his feet can live nice house up here a brick work of sapphire and said the hazael where'd those bricks come from those were all the bricks that we made in mitts right we thought we killed ourselves making these bricks and we thought there was nothing left everything we did was for nothing it all collapsed and it wasn't sure because every brick that we made hackers borrow who took that brick and put it at us Keys hair-covered he put it under the heavenly throne and that's what allowed us to be able to see this unbelievable prophecy there's bitterness in the Mora doesn't matter how bitter it is we all have bitterness there's nobody in this world who can say they don't have anymore some it's horseradish root some it's a romaine lettuce leaf but the bitterness has a poison in it because it poisons us and it makes us feel like why would a coach borrow who do this to me why am I going through this what's the point of it all and there is no meaningless suffering because whatever we go through is made into a brick and every brick is put taught us Keisei are covered it's under the heavenly throne you just don't realize it so we make the chlorosis the closest represents how God loves us and it has our blood in it and it represents that mortar because everything that we're doing with building bricks of sapphire we're making beautiful beautiful things and they're all being set up one day we'll see it all so we sit at the seder and we take the Mara and we dip it into the her OSIS because that's the cure for the poison the cure for the poison is that we know there is no meaningless suffering we're doing something meaningful in this world everything we're doing with building I turn around sometimes hey how am I gonna get for the day how am I gonna get through everything everything is so hard everything's so difficult but nothing is for nothing and at the end we'll see all those my father passed away from lung cancer I remember every Freud know Sheldon came and he brought this printout from the kids wake up it's time where he says at the end of you life first we bring all of your menses and each one is represented by Moloch and some of these my welcome you know they're missing a couple missin Winnetou you know yeah they're limping along they're not in such great shape because we didn't always do the mid sis with such qivana and then all the evil angels come who represent all the bad things we did in this world they're big and strong because we did that with feeling it with with with life and and it looks like it's all over and then my law firm come and they take all of your suffering and they put it on the other side and that's how you get NOLA haba because my father suffered very much those last two years of his life that's what every story wanted to say is the whatever the bitterness whatever the poison is we counteract there with the Caruso's because we know we're building something in this world Pesa cutters burrow who saved us matzah it happens very quickly and mara remember the bitterness because there was that bitterness that allowed us to reach the tremendous levels that we reached so that's it for this episode of the raviolo us keep a such program if you want to find out more about the podcast go to Rebbe alaska calm slash podcast if you
