Shnayim Yomi - Bo - Shishi - #6 - Rabbi Yaakov Glasser - Turning Your Home into a Mikdash Me'at

paras bo the aliyah of shishi in the aliyah of shishi we are told of the carbon pesak as one of the enduring legacies of the experience of mitim the carbon pesak is fundamental to the whole story of redemption for the Jewish people because the carbon pesak as it was initially introduced was a carbon that was clustered by homes each family each bias brought brought their own carbon pesak. And this is essential because when we consider the formation of ami Israel into a nation, into a people, which is really what the entire para of B is about, about the evolution of Cl Israel into a larger nation, receiving its first mitzvah and ultimately being liberated as a people from Mits. Those moments are very easy to relate to from a national perspective. to see us as a cloud, to see us as a whole. What wanted the Jewish people to understand is that as significant as the cloud is, it is ultimately comprised of family units. And it is ultimately in the values of the home as they are taught and expressed and lived that the larger Jewish people will be animated in terms of its goals and its ambitions to fulfill the destiny that au has given them and that we can't just view Israel as this larger entity but that we each carry within ourselves a certain individual responsibility to create a mini bias which The mafarim relate to as a mini bas mikdash. The notion that each family had to transform their home into a replica of the temple itself because each family each home has to pulsate and reverberate with the ideals and the misora that we stand for and then ultimately coalesce all of those individual homes into the world of the larger cloud. Before we could emerge as a larger nation, we needed to cultivate and nurture our identity as individual families. And that is what occurs through the carbon pesak. And so it's no surprise that as the carbon pesak ultimately transitions into what we experience as seder night throughout Jewish history has always been related to culturally hakically experientially as not an individual obligation that me myself I have to eat matzah I have to eat I have to tell the story but it's always at a family experience the mitzvah to tell the story to the next generation. The notion of misra, the notion of the notion of passing it on within the environment of our home became core to the experience of how we would relive and reexperience this night each and every year throughout Jewish history.
