Is learning Jewish history crippling us? (מעשה ברבי אליעזר)

one of the biggest lessons that we learn from the Seder and that we learn from really everything we do in Judaism is that Judaism isn't just history it's not just like sentimental historical significance but when we talk about the Passover seder and really when we do everything in Judaism when we doen when we learn there's deep personal psychological significance so when we talk about the Exodus we're not just talking about the Exodus in the past we're talking about how to literally leave oppression now and even if you don't particularly feel oppressed by people we still need to be free we still need to be free of other people's opinions we still need to be free of that negative voice whispering in our ear that's telling us we're not good enough and the way we feel free is by making the soul more comfortable and allowing the soul to shine because when our souls shine we are free so the hagat Tells of a story that the sages were congregating for their Seder in Ben BR they were discussing the Passover sedor they were discussing the Exodus from Egypt the entire evening until their students finally came to them and said rabbis it's now time to say the shama kind of a baffling story why weren't the students with them why did they just come and why are students telling rabbis hey time to say shma that seems a little rude seems almost like an insult to their intelligence tell great sages and rabbis like rabie AA and Rabbi Taron RAB Yeshua hey did you realize it's time to say shma wouldn't the students think that they probably know that wouldn't that be rude so the way the commentaries explain it was these rabbis were discussing the Passover story in such a way that was it was so relevant it was so meaningful it was personally touching it made sense to their soul their souls felt free and the S the students commented rabbis now we can say Shama in other words now we could say the shama and mean it now we could say here o Israel listen now we can remind our souls to truly listen to God and hear and perceive that God is truly one and we can actually mean it we can actually feel it we could feel that freedom we could feel the comfort of the Soul that's my story and I'm sticking to it
