one of the main things that a person uh has to understand when it comes to PES is that you cannot prepare for PES a couple of days before P PES really requires a very long preparation a spiritual preparation a material preparation but there are certain things that a person needs to know that are important but they're not priority meaning a lot of people the way that they think of p is they think of the food aside from the matah who's going to eat this who's going to sit where and in reality the me of P although it's important it's good for it to be delicious it's good for it to be uh to have all different types of varieties and so on but it's not the number one priority in P the priority in PES is not the food okay the priority in PES is actually quite different in fact the um page 115b says that if somebody swallowed mat he fulfilled the obligation meaning he just swallowed it without Che he still fulfilled the obligation but if he swallowed the the bitter herbs he did not fulfill the obligation did not fulfill the obligation the r that if somebody swallowed the mat without chewing he still fulf fulfill the but if he uh did not chew the the bitter herbs he did not fulfill the mitvah and elaborates and also and he uh says why is this the case because the whole point of the uh is to signify specific things where the uh is of course to remind us of the difficulties that uh we endured when we were uh in uh in uh in Egypt is one of the things we have to remember that's one of the main things that highlights it is actually the M the bitter herbs that the uh and it's uh one of the most uh critical parts to discuss to think about uh during PES during AEL is actually the the bitterness of our suff if you don't chew the bitter herbs you don't taste the bitterness and therefore you're missing you're missing the key part of the mitvah which is to actually see yourself as if as if you are in living through the difficulty right now many people can perhaps uh feel the the freedom to a certain extent but very few realize that one of the priorities uh that you have during the S is actually to uh feel the agony that uh we were in in order to truly feel the uh the Salvation the point is is to make the whole thing as alive as possible as as as real as possible to truly feel feel the transition and not just focus on when do we eat [Music]
