[Applause] it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly Torah lesson here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi Minka wits welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week we are celebrating the holiday of Passover and the question is what is the message of Passover so interestingly in the Hagaddah the agatha tells us that in every generation we have to relive going out of Egypt and the author explains not only the average every generation every single day we have to go out of Egypt now what does that mean going out of Egypt every day so if you look into when the Jewish people left Egypt there are two times associated with the Jewish people going out of Egypt one is at midnight when it was dark extremely dark that's when they were officially freed parrot or they can leave and the second important time was when they actually left midday so that you were told they can leave midnight and they actually left midday and the question is what's why were they instructed specifically times about when they're gonna leave and when they're gonna go out and why is 1 midnight ones went midday so the Rebbe explains what does midnight resemble it's dark midnight it's like the darkest moment what does midday it's the brightest moment in other words there's two moments in our life one a dark moment and one a bright moment and both of them we have to go out of Egypt what does that mean what does Egypt mean spiritually which applies to each and every one of us in every generation and every single day Egypt means we get stuck whatever level as we get stuck we're not moving we're frozen we're not growing we're not going out of the box we're not thinking bigger we got into a rut so there's two types of rut you can get into there's two types of ways you can get frozen what is it so dark it's so hard it's so difficult and you feel like there's no way out so you get frozen one way is you're doing so great as the expression Engel says failure by success you stop being successful because you feel like you got it comes a Torah the Torah tells us you have to break that box that you're in irrelevant if it's the box from midnight when it's extremely dark and it's difficult or if the bakbox when you feel like you're successful either way you have to break and you have to go further and you have to go out of Egypt and others whatever level you're at you can go to a higher level so what's the message of Passover that whatever level will act irrelevant it's coming from a dark place or from a bright place we have to break our boundaries and free ourselves and go to the next level thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of Bharatha and I relayed and and Yosef may the souls be elevated by the Torah that was studying in their memory for more information about Chabad please see our website [Applause] [Music]
