Let them eat MATZAH! | Matzah Zu 5749 | CLASS 2 of 2

all right so we're learning the mat 5749 1989 and just a review it's a very short mimer it's only four chapters and the fourth chapter is Tiny so it's like three and a half chapters and we did two chapters last week so let's review a little bit um the the opening words of the M usually opens with a quote of a scriptural verse usually I'd say 80% of the time but uh here it's a verse or a uh it's not called a PK but it's a line from the which is this mat that we eat why do we eat it what do we eat it for and the answer that we give is because of our ancestors didn't even have time for their dough to rise so we were asking um really technically in the story of the first pesak meaning during The Exodus there were two times that they ate matah the first they ate matah as part of the Corbin pesak of eating the the pesak sacrifice and that wasn't because they were in a hurry and the dough didn't have time to rise that's because they that was because that that's that's the Mitzvah to eat mat with the corbon PES it was only later the following day when they were rushing out of MIT that they were eating matah basically out of default not as a Not By Design not intentionally oh let's eat matah but more like this is all we got it's all we got time for we don't have time for the leavening process um and of course spiritually that idea of the matah that didn't even have time to rise means that it's the matah that is matah because there's such intense divine revelation that's what we say that they didn't they didn't have time they didn't manage to allow the D to rise before the king of all Kings the holy and blessed be he revealed himself to them and and and re and redeemed them meaning the the do that didn't even have time to rise isn't just a sign of of a rush it's a sign of a an intense divine revelation and we were saying well hold on a second um why are we eating it are we eating it because historically they didn't have time for their doter eyes or because we have a commandment to do so and which of the two times that they ate matah is more of the archetype or the Paradigm upon which our matah eating is based and we had a question about mle and about whether mat is spelled with a V or without a V with the v v represents ham the V is a actually an idiogram of a pipeline and it shows hamak which means divine revelation being drawn down into the world so there's the before midnight and the after midnight uh drawing down or not drawing down and or rather not drawing down and drawing down and what we're saying is interestingly enough we're eating the matah before midnight right we endeavored to finish the afan even before midnight and yet somehow what we're accomplishing what they accomplished after midnight what was only accomplished after midnight and we were just trying to reconcile all of this and without reviewing the whole M because you can go back and watch last week's class basically what we said is that we're experiencing The Best of Both Worlds because we have an advantage that they didn't have and that Advantage simply is the fact that our eating matzah is After the Revolutionary change that happened in all of existence when the Torah was given at Sinai and once the Torah was given at Sinai everything changed and now there's the possibility of Mitzvah and of of human being being empowered with Divine obligation which an obligation is also an empowerment and it gives our Mitzvah a whole new significance and therefore um when we eat matah first of all we eat matah after a year of doing Mitzvah so there's the the the preparation our whole year going into PES was a preparation second of all our eating matah itself is a Mitzvah it's one of the 613 Mitzvah a lot of people don't realize this by the way I forget this all the time that I would say 90% of people who eat matah do not know that eating matah is a Mitzvah they know you're not allowed to eat humet but they think that matah is just look well since we can't eat humet and we want to have carbs somehow then we we eat this horrendous stuff and I don't think they realize that it's actually a Mitzvah I think I mean I I I've experienced this I've given mat to people who you know you give it to them a few days before PES and then you get a text an hour later oh thanks it was delicious yeah so this is one of the 613 Ms was I remember Thena last class you were talking about somebody who wasn't Sher shabis and just the transformative part yes so is the Mitzvah without washing without saying any BR okay La last week at the end of class after we stopped filming I was saying by the way the whole point of this mimer is I don't even care if it helps you to have more cavana when you eat Mitzvah the main thing is that you should understand how powerful matah is and you should get other people to eat matah at the right time in the proper amount as we were leaving the the the room last week so you're asking now technically what are the parameters of that well yes ideally they should wash first and ideally they should make a and they should make two bras and matah but really the main thing is to get the medicine in them it is medicine it is spiritual medicine I'm promising you it is medicine you do not withhold medicine you got it very very very important it is medicine then Z calls it in the first night the second night this is the cure for everything there are people who are so messed up in the head you cannot talk straight to them in fact the more you talk to them the more confused they become you know what you do with such Jews mat just give them matah meaning outside the Seder also like a whole Y what what it means a whole hold on a second the Mitzvah is the night of the Seder that's the Mitzvah the Mitzvah is the night of the Seder not at 5:00 p.m. because Aunt uh Gladis is tired and we need to okay I know the American thing is the Seder our Sader at 3:30 I'm sorry I know it's difficult but you have to look at the calendar and you have to see what time is actually Sunset okay and because Daylight Saving Times and all that I don't know did anyone look in New York what time is and it's not just it's what time is what time is the stars come out probably 8:30 or something yeah I'm sorry to tell you that's when the magic happens that's the night that's the night okay no but I'm saying the rest of Y also okay so you're asking actually you're asking one of these very spiritually intuitive questions you often ask which makes me think that you are purposely going out and finding out things and asking as if you didn't know okay so I want to tell you yeah okay there this is I'm just wondering yeah yeah okay okay so here's something very surprising and shocking that actually I don't fully understand but I'm going to just report to you the facts I know as a matter of fact that the Reb pushed schim to make sure that Jews eat matah even I don't know what the power of it is I think we may get a glimpse of it in the mimer that we're learning today in chapter three that we're about to learn he mentions something about matah after it's no longer a Mitzvah so that may be a clue to us but yeah there is such a thing of matah having an effect all eight days however that's that's a mystical thing and that which I don't fully understand what I want to say which is very clear and we can all understand and it doesn't take any type of deep um understanding of the Mitzvah it's the most simple simple explanation just like if you toot on a Ram's Horn in the middle of February it might be fun but it's not a Mitzvah it's only Mitzvah okay so to or you go wave around a lul in the middle of August doesn't it's not a Mitzvah or you make Kish on a Wednesday it's not a Mitzvah okay the Mitzvah of mat is the night of the Seder from when the stars come out until ideally until midnight ideally until midnight and it's not just a time it's an and I sound very very pedantic when I'm stressing the time and the amount and an ounce and and it's and I'm not talking about a box of man ofits I'm talking about mat that was made leame Matas Mitzvah that was made for the intention not only just made in the in in in the bakery but even from the time of harvesting it was made for the purpose of matah you wouldn't buy I hope you wouldn't buy a muuza that was printed on a laser printer okay so I'm talking about handmade matah that was made for the purpose of the Mitzvah and to get a kazas of it to get an ounce of it okay we end up eating way more than that because of the different Customs that we have different matah representing different things and if you lead the Seder you have the the co Le you have the three tier you know the the three levels of matah but the Mitzvah itself is to eat a kazas to eat an ounce ofur Mata sometime between when the stars come out and midnight that is the medicine and that is number one priority not your varar Tor that you prepared not your chicken soup that you cooked all day nothing else is as important nothing is comparable nothing is comparable to getting that medicine into their mouth and that need needs to be number one priority anytime I ran a public seder my only objective with everyone there was to get them to eat that matah and also you have to supervise people because they nibble it they think it's cute they think it's a symbol mat and they all it's crumbly it's crumbly all giggle it's crumbly okay it's crumbly could you be quiet for 2 minutes and just eat an ounce of this and then make your matah jokes that we've all heard so yeah the first night it's called the food of healing the second it's called the food of of uh food of faith and then food of healing it's interesting by the way there's a whole explanation of that why is it first called faith and then called healing sometimes a person is sick and then they get healed healed and then they have faith but you understand the the progression like because you were healed now you believe but when you have faith before healing it means you don't have to get sick in the first place so the idea is it's a faith that allows you to not have to be tested to learn the hard way when people eat matah that means you get all the benefits of the School of Hard Knocks without getting beaten up I like that yeah actually like the levels like the levels of faith that you can get before so to speak and after so to speak ex actually the same yeah that's what we're saying yeah yeah it's it's it's getting the benefit of a hard lesson without the hard lesson yes you said the first Sader is the faith and then the second Sader is the healing yes and in Israel they only have faith they do it all in one night so they have both faith and they compress it yeah yeah they get a double whammy yeah okay so that's the main thing get that matah into your stomach and into the stomach of every Jew that you can reach and if I find out that people were standing out on the street and asking I don't know in five times you're going to have an opportunity for this but if I found out people were standing on the street and saying excuse me Sirah you Jewish please eat this I will be so proud and I'll feel that this class actually accomplished something so yeah maybe you just make up such a story for me after can tell me that you did seems like the Rab's most passionate Fleet and I'm so curious about that like we've learned about P we learned about CH what's what what's I don't know I don't know yeah I am very into it I see I don't know I I maybe it's me particularly have a connection to it maybe because I've seen how hard it is to get people to understand the importance of it because I know there's so much resistance to it I know that's so maybe it's because like everybody I'm just theorizing here like everybody knows matah like not everyone knows fillan sometimes you come up to somebody and say Excuse me sir would you like to put on they don't know what fillan is okay so the fact that they haven't put on fillan is because they're totally ignorant of it but like everyone knows matah Gentiles know what matah is everyone knows matah and yet they don't know that there is a right way of doing it and that it's a Mitzvah they think it's just a fun thing they think it's just borch they think it's cultural they think it's just it goes with the brisket it goes with the brisket exactly and and it's it's power the matah is so powerful and people don't realize that so yes yeah I am I am passionate about it yes why would somebody be on the street asking for uh to sample matah if you're supposed to have the poor people at your saing table to be oh very good so that's after you announc called everybody needs a say to come to maybe they didn't hear the announcement maybe they didn't hear the announcement doesn't mean they're poor yeah it doesn't mean by the way they're poor and by the way poor what is poor a onas real poverty is intellectual poverty when someone who's living in the darkness of ignorance that's poverty have you seen it be transformative have I seen it be transformative like did I see somebody who walked into a Seder and was like I don't believe in any of this and then they ate them out they're like Rabbi I'm turning over a new Leaf uh I we all come back wait till we all come back I never saw such a story um no nothing that unfolded in such a dramatic way but I have seen people who well you know the correlation is not causation so I can't prove this but yes I think in every case I know of somebody who dramatically changed their life to become more observant it did involve eating matah on PES now involved a lot of other things so I can't pinpoint it and again correlation is not causation but I don't know anybody who didn't eat matah and had a profound transformation in their observance of Mitzvah anyways I guess it's something you got to take on faith food of Faith okay so anyways matah that's the bottom line okay so we did the first two chapters you want to ask a question from the first two chapters sure sure okay we ended with the F question about what you said about getting matah into people yeah there's still like a disparity between what the m is saying which is that because you're doing mitos you're do and you're elevating yourself and you're working and that's what gives the Masa this potency that doesn't it doesn't but then you're saying doesn't matter get it in whether you're religious not religious so I hear what you're saying what actually has the power okay I hear what you're saying okay one second let me let me go that particip okay fine all right so you listened well because you're saying basically what we said last week or what the mimer said you're saying the my made a big point about how the matah that we eat meaning after Mountain Toyota has the power that it has because of the fact that well one of the things he says is do we do mitsos all year before pesos and then eating matah itself is is also a Mitzvah um and then you're saying well then how come I'm talking about like just give people matah almost like doesn't even matter if they're prepared it doesn't matter if they know what they're doing it sounds sort of the opposite of what the mimer is saying right okay well I'm glad that you're asking that because I could see how that could be confusing and it gives me an opportunity to explain some foundational Concepts first of all even the wanting Sinners of the Jewish people are full of Mitzvah like a pomegranate is full of seats so even somebody who like I said I think last week who drove to the Seder and they're going to drive home in fact they're not even going to drive home they're going to drive to the the [Music] the I think I think it said they're going to go drive to go play racketball and eat pretzels and eat pretzels yeah nevertheless this person is doing Mitzvah all year maybe not all the Mitzvah and maybe not the same Mitzvah that you're doing but they are doing Mitzvah and that at least to some extent primes them to receive something in their matah eating that the Jews who lived before the giving of the Torah couldn't receive not because one person is greater or less than the other but just because it's a totally different reality Premont TOA before and postm TOA so that that's first of all this this Jew that you're talking about is doing Mitzvah all year um second of all as I mentioned eating the matah itself is a Mitzvah eating the matah itself is a Mitzvah so even setting aside the whole prepar preparation through the through the year just look at that moment itself they're doing a Mitzvah and that has divine power what it wasn't a so before M before M to there were no Mitzvah not in the sense that we have Mitzvah so now a Jew who eats mat and again when I say mat I mean mat on the night of the Seder and EAS of it by the way fun fact if you eat matah and then later on you throw up did you do the mitzah did you do the Mitzvah sure okay very good well well you might think that you didn't you didn't hold it and you got to you got to do it again no no the Mitzvah is to eat it if you ate it you ate it very good okay so this Jew who's eating matah on the night of the P of pesak even if they don't know what they're doing something real is happening because the world is a different world now that the Torah was given so it's not just like I hear what you're saying the way I'm saying like just hit and run giving the matah and this this is the way we do a lot of you know the 10 Mitzvah campaigns that the that EBA initiated go up to someone on a street corner you put fillan on with them they don't really understand what they're doing and yet it has value because thin has inherent value because it's a Mitzvah as opposed to other things which don't have inherent value because they're subjective and you have to understand the difference between a Mitzvah and something that's uh a haish you know a personal a personal preference so you know I'll tell you I was talking to a guy from a a religious guy very religious guy and he was complaining I don't want to get too specific but he was complaining about something about but his wife doesn't do such and such and he was saying it's a real problem that she's I'm I'm worried that she's not you know God-fearing and I said to them you know the thing you're describing really isn't a religious thing it's more of a cultural thing you know when I'm okay I don't want to get too specific but he was a really from guy and he was weirded out about something his wife wasn't doing and I was like it's not really and he was calling it a lack of Y Shay of of being God-fearing like you that's not really a religious thing that's more of like a cultural thing and he's like you know what does that mean what are you so then I realized he probably didn't really understand those terms I said let me ask you a question is there a difference in the G of between eating and eating on the L seder I'll say that in English is there a difference in the nature of obligation between eating dumplings on the uh on on the day of has rabba the the day of suus before before sh the last day of suus before shus and the level of obligation of eating uh handmade matah on the night of the Seder he's like I don't know is there didn't no he didn't know for for real and and this is a guy who was in Kyo for a few years yeah don't not let something else but eating is not a mitv not it's it's a cultural thing a I mean a is a very flexible term you know there's a and then there's like me hug him of different communities you know so at any rate um something that is a Mitzvah means its value is inherent it has value not because of Any subjective value that we place on it but because it is eternal and unchanging it is God's will and just as he is eternal and unchanging his Mitzvah are Eternal and unchanging and therefore anybody who does a Mitzvah whatever they think they're doing whatever opinion they have of what they're doing it has the same value now it might be devoid of cavana and those who learn Tanya with me can go relearn chapters 3839 and 40 about A Bird Without Wings and a body without a soul and it's lacking kavana so yeah yeah it is lacking kavana but the Mitzvah is still a Mitzvah nobody would accidentally or without it being for God put on fing like the wackiest impossible thing yeah but you know you could construct a scenario that where it could happen's going to fall yeah in the gamot they would make up a scenario like that I'll tell you a quick Story I mean we got to finish learning this mimer but I I told this story at before so I don't know maybe some of you heard it from me so but I'll tell it extremely biter there's a story about y Khan's father when he was in Siberia so he was living he was in Exile in Siberia he was living among these Eskimos and they liked him for whatever reason they thought he was very cool he was tough he was defiant and there was another Jew in this um like labor camp who was like a secular communist and they didn't like him and so the eskimos they were these tough guys they came to the f KH got a box of matah for pesak shipped to him and uh he didn't eat all week because he didn't want to eat helmet all he had is this matah he had maybe a few matzas for the whole week anyways these Eskimos they came to this communist Jew and they threatened him at knife point and they said you're a Jew you have to eat only what the holy man eats and if you eat anything else we're going to come slit your throat so was talking about this about how his father told him this story actually his father writes about it in his Memoirs but like how his father ate matah and this guy this other guy ate matah and his father's eating matah like he was literally mfish he he he he he starved himself in order to not eat anything you're not allowed to eat on PES so obviously he valued m so much and this other guy was only eating it because he didn't want these Eskimos to to murder him and yet as far as a Mitzvah it's both the same Mitzvah it's the same Mitzvah cavana okay cavana's everyone has different levels of cavana there are people who are more spiritually sensitive and people who are less but the Mitzvah the action which is the main thing we all do the same action with cavana without cavana the wrong cavana okay so at any rate yeah to answer your question every Jew who eats matah nowadays is accomplishing something because the world itself is a different world which makes that action have value which not only refines the person who's doing the Mitzvah but refines the world it refines the world makes the world a better place makes the world a better place okay so yeah you said that this um noner shabis driving racket ball playing Pizza uh pretz leading whatever is doing Mitzvah all year is this person aware that they're doing Mitzvah or not only could they not be aware they're doing Mitzvah they may look you in the eye and say I never do Mitzvah if I know something's a Mitzvah I daa don't do it and they're still doing mitzvah that's right what's anle without knowing it Saka that's a common one what if they're not doing not anybody they didn't [Music] anyone they took a nap on chabus what's the point of that though like to describe so much to that kind so why are we why are we emphasizing that to know what there's a couple reasons why it's important I don't think we're going to learn the mber today but it's there's a couple reasons why it's important first of all to understand what is a Jew a Jew is not somebody who observes Judaism it's not the definition of a Jew a Jew is somebody who was born from a Jewish mother or converted Hally what they do with that is observe more or less but the observing Judaism is not what makes them a Jew so that's the first thing is understand the definition of a Jew the second reason why it's super important is to understand the what I was referring to before as the inherent value of Mitzvah so a Mitzvah has inherent value whether the person understands what they're doing or not cavana is different cavana is your understanding of the Mitzvah obviously someone who has less understanding of the Mitzvah has Les less understanding of the Mitzvah but the Mitzvah itself it's the same Mitzvah okay so should we try to learn the rest of the M okay we don't have that much to cover so it's okay that we got off on a few tangents all right when I'm going to watch the Youtube analytics of this video you're going to see everybody just abandoning at this point there's no one left if you're still watching by the way I like it oh you guys got a compliment not you guys actually the Monday people but a lot of a lot of you Wednesday people are are Monday people somebody posted on the eclipse class which got like 1500 views um somebody posted on the eclipse class I forgot exactly what they posted but like I love the interaction it makes it so real yeah makes it so real it does yeah what do you mean it does you're here it is real it does it's real real yeah well you're here yeah of course it's real it's just like being there you are there okay IRL in real life yeah this is right this is in real life all right if you're still watching if you haven't bailed out leave a comment below and say I'm still here I'm still watching and remember to like And subscribe follow more hit the notification button hit the notification button very good I wonder about the Donate link the Donate link yeah to.org ss.org there's a donate Link in the description of every video okay or eat your mat like youat say or eat your mat like like youat more important than donating just eat the mat oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 100% 100% by the way you know what's possible it's it's right now is base Nissen is that's actually the Reb shab's yard site but it is entirely possible that some somebody will be watching this video on the night of pesak and they can donate no no don't worry about so listen if you're that person in a trailer park in Oklahoma who just found out they were Jewish six months ago your mother told you on her deathbed I have a secret we're really Jewish and you're watching this right now and you didn't even realize it was Passover until 20 minutes ago and it's 11:00 p.m. and you're in your pajamas and all of a sudden you're like oh Passover I just found I'm Jewish okay let me go watch Passover you put into Google Passover and this video came up and you're watching this right now what I want you to do is I want you to find your closest public seder Kad yeah kab.org go to kab.org find your closest public seder and I want you to go get your matah and eat your ounce of matah and let us come to class next week and tell us about yeah exactly or leave a comment okay not on PESA please don't leave yeah don't leave the comment yeah you could actually you don't even have to turn off the computer just walk away from the computer and go get your matah Okay like like literally it's that important that they should you should tell them to drive to go get I'm not telling them to drive I'm telling them to go get the mat to find their nearest public well do whatever you got to do just get your M okay all right they're on the way over I don't know I don't know okay sers take so many Walkins well we beg people to RSVP and you know what happens when you beg people to RSVP they don't like three people RSVP yeah and then there's always like the three people RSVP are also the elderly people who come two hours early MH every public Sater is always there's these usually it's like three elderly women who come two hours early and they're like we're here for the public seder okay and they don't realize that they're about to enter the eye of the storm because the most chaotic most frenetic setting you could ever be in is a Jewish Home especially one that's about the host and seder two hours before the Seder and they're just sitting there in their coats and um picking at the carpus and you're like this is going to be a long evening for these ladies but that that happens at every seder yeah okay I could tell you some more of the Seder tropes but I'm afraid I'm going to like I'm going to cross some lines because after turn off you'll turn off the thing okay I yeah I I'll I'll put in one more that probably I'll regret but yeah no I'm not going to edit it so this is particularly if you have like a Russian crowd yeah so um there's there's a very um high level of what I would call people who want want to continue to experience the Seder after the Seder they want to take souvenirs so when you see people filling up their purses and like yeah that's a common Sader Trope yeah like where's the wine uh all the Bubbies went with like three bottles in their purses they at matah okay all right you know what I'm talking about right you seen that one no I haven't actually SE I haven't seen that okay but it's bul is plausible is plausible okay okay yeah so pic gimel ice gimmel chapter three nobody's here anymore and I have to fly to Kansas by the way yeah I have a flight in like I have a speaking engagement in Kansas okay yeah okay okay now we're we're asking when we eat our matah why do we say we eat this matah because our ancestors didn't have time for their dough to rise the matah that we eat as we've been saying at length has the distinct advantage of being mat that eat because of because of a Divine commandment not because it just didn't have time to rise in fact furthermore not only um is it a Divine commandment but it's a type of divine Commandment that only uniquely exists after the giving of the so then why are we saying we're eating it because the the the the bread that they ate didn't have a chance to leaven meaning the fact that they were eating matah wasn't by design it was just by default that's just what they had it just couldn't couldn't rise you understand the question simple question so we might explain the following answer we have a Mitzvah to tell the story that's the other Mitzvah by the way on the night of PES there's the Mitzvah of eating matah and there's the Mitzvah of telling the story you're going to ask me now how come I'm freaking out about the Mitzvah to eat the matah and I'm not freaking out about the Mitzvah to tell the story um because the matah you eat it and you metabolize it and becomes part of you the story is not the most the story is important but you can't you can't eat a story you don't the story doesn't become your flesh and blood the matah becomes you okay at any rate you have a a Mitzvah to tell the story and since we're telling the story we tell the story meaning we're just reporting the fact this is why they ate matah now you're going to say okay but we're in context we're saying this is why we're eating matah so it's not completely clear so he says and furthermore this is actually the primary answer as we say in the if Hashem had not removed us from Egypt we would still be slaves there to Pharaoh therefore even now especially on the night of the anniversary of redemption even though we are living at a time way after The Exodus and even way after the giving of the Torah we are so to speak in that same situation now because think about it like this everything that we're able to do is predicated on what happened then so it's not just a history of here's what happened but actually it's a it's an explanation of how we got here it's cause and effect so to a certain extent it is true that we're eating matzah because of what happened to them in other words it it's not that Our obligation to eat matah is the same obligation it's a different obligation but it is true that if it were not for what happened to them in that situation where they were eating mat because they were being taken out of MIT so fast they didn't even have time for their bread to rise if not for that we wouldn't be here so there is a cause and effect and therefore it does make sense to answer the question of why are we eating the M because you understand the the relationship okay we say when we're telling the story of this mat right here that we're eating we eat it because our ancestors didn't even have time for the bread to rise before king of all Kings revealed himself to to them and redeemed them the mat that we're eating specifically before midnight right we're endeavoring to finish it before midnight not only does it have the advantage of the pre midnight mat like we were saying at length the the advantage of eating mat when it's done as a mitvah when it's done as an obligation the way that they did it as an obligation right they were commanded to eat mat not Mitzvah but like a temporary mitzah for that time but we have even more than we have at the same time also the advantage of the mat that was being being eaten after midnight Midnight the advantage of bread that doesn't even have time to rise what's the advantage of bread that doesn't even have time to rise it can't become why because there's an intense spiritual Revelation happening that won't allow humet to even exist so it's both so we're getting both so we're getting both we're getting the Best of Both Worlds that's talking about bringing them out of Egypt that act is the spiritual Revelation bringing them out of Egypt is the spiritual Revelation so as they're being brought out of Egypt there's such an intense spiritual Revelation that kit which represents uh ego can't even rear its head because there's such intense Godly Revelation ego cannot even assert itself okay and so we're able to have that they didn't have it till the following day when they were leaving Egypt we're having that before midnight and yet we're also having the advantage of before midnight which is that we're doing the eating of the matah as a Mitzvah so we're getting the Best of Both Worlds as you said now we're going to get the best of three worlds why not doesn't cost more take another world so in addition first of all we have the the Mitzvah of matah that we're doing as a Mitzvah after mat and then even more than that and this is why I thought you were like a ringer we also have the advantage of the eating of matah on the seventh day of P which is optional stop a sec okay we're going to get there we're going to get there okay so this is this this is this is interesting here TheBus says we're eating matah the night of the PES seder before midnight and we're getting the advantage of pre midnight and post midnight we're getting the advantage of a Mitzvah especially Mitzvah that comes after Mountain TOA and we're getting the advantage of intense Revelation that happened at the time of The Exodus Best Best of Both Worlds and then he throws in a third thing and we're getting the advantage of when you eat matah on on the seventh day and it's not even a Mitzvah it's optional that's why when you were saying is there a is there anything to eating matah after so okay so here's a very deep concept and yeah and it almost sounds like antithetical to everything we've been pumping up like we're talking about how important it is when you do something as a response to a commandment but when you learn this you start to learn not to think rigidly and just just when you have something nailed down it flips your whole perspective shows you another whole angle and you're like whoa hold on a second got to like rethink this whole thing without losing the clarity of the previous Vantage Point okay so now after we've made this whole big explanation about how important it is to do a Mitzvah because it's a response to a commandment now that I've explains you know what there's also something very special about doing something that's not a Mitzvah at all when you eat matah on the seventh day of PES it's not a mitzvah suus it's a Mitzvah to eat in the Suka all seven days matah is only a Mitzvah the first night biblically um I mean if outside the land of Israel we have two nights so we do it at both first and second Sor but really the biblical Mitzvah is the first night and then the rest of the time it's just like you have a Mitzvah not to eat Kitz don't eat kit but you don't have to eat matah you don't want so when you eat matah it's not a commandment are you still referring to shm yeah you is this gab Orab no some things again this is going to sound like such a reversal from everything we've been saying it's not a reversal it's just a new it's an additional perspective some things are so lofty we can't be commanded to do them by the way that is the value of a true custom not a cultural thing that a bunch of people just decided to normalize but a a real Min example I'll give you a great example there's no biblical Mitzvah to take out the Torah from the ark and finish the reading of the public uh yearly reading cycle and dance with it on the second day of shus it's so lofty this what the mbum say that it had to come about as a Min had to come out as a as come about as a custom is that like the things that are tie down the POR no the A and mutter thing that's a different concept this is there are some things that are so lofty that they can't be directly commanded you can't directly access them coming from so it's like coming from us like like out of our own sensitivity our own Expressions it's an expression of our own sensitivity for our relationship with Hashem meaning you know think about like a marriage your spouse asks you to do something and you don't do it you know that's the it's a breakdown in the relationship you they ask you to do it and you do it so that affirms the relationship but imagine if you only do but but imagine if you only do things that you've been asked to do no that's the thing if you do it okay okay okay but even that you've been asked at some point you were asked okay but then there's a concept of something you weren't asked to do but you know your spouse well enough to know this is the type of thing that they would like I think the one I'm saying is higher level even yeah I think because if you're asked then you also you have to break down your ego in order to do it again without the ask like yeah but he's not saying that there's a Mitzvah then to continue eating matah all year long it's not like there's a Mitzvah to eat matah or not even a mitz it there's not even an inion okay there's not an inion to do s every night let's keep it very simple here the idea is like this Hashem told you he wants you to eat on the night of PES he told you it's in the Torah it says to do it he didn't specifically say to do it so when you eat mat is there anything to it or is there not so what we're saying here is there is something to it now the day after PES is over there's nothing to it what about the sixth day or the fifth day of PES like why the seven because well without getting into a whole explanation of the scriptural exag Jesus and how the verses are unpacked and decoded but the way that we know that matah is optional uh for the six other days after the first day is the way that the Torah speaks about the seventh day it's a it's a process of Rabin ex of Jesus now you're getting all technical andic okay I don't mind the answer so you're going to say how you doish without mat well first of all on the seventh day yeah on the seventh day okay so um you could be K suda on a second cup of wine that's and by the way I want to tell you something I want to tell I want to tell you something there were people who were so careful about kasas and so terrified of kets but they don't even eat matah they would only eat they would only eat matah on the night of the s because that's when there's a Mitzvah and I have to do it God is making me do it and the rest of PES they wouldn't touch matah they would make KES and then they would Bea they would make it a meal by drinking a second cup of wine not for okay is that like a warped representation no for those people who they were super careful about kasas all year round that was just their way of being okay so now we have the best of three worlds we have the advantage of mat the weing as a Mitzvah and specifically a postm Mitzvah we have the advantage of mat that we're eating because God is just revealing himself so intensely that kets can't even happen and we have the third Advantage the advant at the night of the Seder the advantage of matah that you're eating just because nobody's making you the seventh day matah we have on the night of s that's what he's saying that's what's so wacky it's all happening at the same time well there's no such thing as time and space that's right okay okay it's all Quantum over here okay so which is higher than obligation oh wow okay which is similar to the way that when he says a I don't know if you know if means eating matah or eating in general when mssiah comes if it means eating matah after MH comes basically what it means is after mhi comes the Mitzvah are all going to happen automatically it will be as natural as breathing because the world will be so the physical world will be so in tune with God's will that our bodies will instinctively keep Hal that's similar to the inability to rise similar to the inability to rise yeah yeah okay let let's finish off here because I do have to fly to Kansas chapter four you're speaking to the three ladies that are going to show up to the no that would be the night of PES this is I am saying you know so here's a prayer that EBA says may it be God's will especially because we are concluding with Distributing T money after the gave dollars just like the end of all of p is the seventh day of p and if outside of the land of Israel you have the E day of which is which you know is a special well he explains a little bit here that's why on the eth day of T reading is all about you can also connect that to the idea of the eth the eth day the number eight that that on that day on the day of the Redemption Hashem will again stretch out his hand and he'll Gather in the Jews from all of these seven places of Exile which are enumerated Assyria and Egypt but the SE the eighth place is called the islands of the sea so there are eight places that Jews will be gathered in from farflung far the places and then he'll bring them from those eight places to a status of eight which is redemption as we know seven is the cycle of nature seven days of creation eight is beyond that cycle meaning the miraculous order and then will be fulfilled this prophetic promise in all of its details the Earth will be full of the knowledge of hem like water covers the ocean bed it's also I think interesting to note this mimer was set out of PES which is the birthday of the RAM and that P is the end of mishna so there's a connection to rambam over there and if you want to know the other thing I'm passionate about is daily rambam so eat your matah learn your rambam the rambam by the way is one of the only sages not only we know his birth date but we know the time yeah he was born the busiest oh the time when the old ladies are sitting there he was that's that's so interesting can you imagine literally yeah yeah can you imagine that if in the rambam's father's house in M's house we're here for the public say I bet you they had a public Sor in M's house where for the public seder oh my wife's a little bit busy right now okay all right caution for comp thank you thank you
