PESACH PREP 2026- Part 1- From Kadesh- Avadim Hayinu

The transcription begins with a casual introduction to a Pinot Noir wine, noting its pleasant taste and reasonable price, followed by an invitation for listener questions. The main discussion centers on the Passover Seder, stressing the core mitzvah of narrating the Exodus and the need for a well-structured approach to ensure the story resonates. The speaker delves into the significance of *Kiddush*, describing it as an act of spiritual elevation where wine symbolizes transformation—much like the Jewish people, who emerge refined through hardship and time. Wine’s numerical value of 70 is tied to themes of redemption, representing the shift from slavery to freedom. Practical tips for the Seder include maintaining a calm atmosphere, leaning left while drinking to invoke sweetness, and focusing on family involvement to enhance the experience. The tone is conversational, blending ritual explanation with personal anecdotes and humor.

So let's see if this is working right now. Yep. Okay. So welcome out there to the podcast world, to the amuse world, welcome out there to our anytime world. And let's see if we can get this done. So first off, what are we drinking tonight? So this is the 24 Pinot Noir of Herzog. It is nonmovigial. They just came out with it and it is drinking fantabulous. It's not extremely young, right out of the bottle. It's amazing. I'm really considering this for for for say to because it's just a very easy, it's just a very easy drink. And it's not expensive, like 30 something bucks. So al-Hai, M'l-Haiim. And now the reason why I'm saying it's only times because I want people to ask me questions about wine. You know, like it's such a good feeling. When people like rabbi have no questions about like your share, your share was a disaster. But could you at least tell me what, which wine were you drinking again? Very light, very fruity, really, really enjoyable. All right. Tonight. Tonight we are going through, hopefully the first half of the center. So tonight we're going to do the first half of the center, Bazarat Hashem next Tuesday. We're going to do the second half of the center. Initially I was going to always do capitalist stuff, but then I realized there's so much to do over here. I mean, we'll see if we can touch upon it. But I don't know if we're going to just because it's just a certain amount of time. So getting into the zone of the satire. Should I move this over? Is this, yeah, yeah, good. Okay. We all know that the way that the satire goes is that you have a bunch of people all show up. And it can get a bit crazy. It can get a bit busy, especially Bazarat Hashem. People who have so many guests. And a lot of times we get to miss out on the main mitzvah, which so many times it just happens that we miss a main mitzvah, which what a shame. What is the main mitzvah? The main mitzvah is the Higant Eleventa. The main mitzvah is that we're supposed to be saying over to our children, saying over to ourselves, saying over to everybody, the story of C.P.R. Y.M. and S.R.I.M. and giving over what the secret is about C.P.R. Y.M. and S.R.I.M. That's what we're supposed to be giving over. And if we don't do that, if that doesn't happen, so then just what a shame. Now, you can get the story, you can give it over, but there's a build up. If you get this build up right, if you make this build up happen in a correct way, so then the story will flow right through. And you can have, I think, one of the greatest satire in the ever, but it's gotta come to the focus. Now, I don't expect anybody. I know I don't go for everything that I have on these sheets. Yeah, I just don't. Everybody out there in Toronto, Toronto time-world, you can start to email me for these sheets. And it's very simple. I said the last time, but I didn't even post. I didn't even post last week's share because things were just too crazy. Yeah, no, so I'm gonna say at this time again, if you gave to the Khazakh Front Racer, then by all means email me if you didn't lose my email. So good. The, you know, me out, there's many years I spent on this thing. You can give, you can give it a thousand. And, no, not right now. (laughing) And now people are gonna go, shh, gosh of, people are gonna go and they're gonna start to say things like one second, I gave to the, I gave to the Torney Town Front Racer. Good for you, you didn't give to. No, I'm thrilled. You know what, if you gave to them, you can email me also, please, as long as you're a giving kid. Even though it was $1, it's just like something that you feel, okay, I should stop talking now, right? I should just get right into it. Fair enough, we're gonna get, yeah, this is already strike one on this not being put anyway. So, Qadish, what again, this now? L, do you have a seat? - I'm gonna go, bring your chairs. - Bring chairs, okay, if not, you can send an, you can send an LEO and no, he's left, right over there. That's fine, there's a sheet, here we go. Here we go. So, I would like to let everybody sit around the table, no. That the Avira de Arra, that the air of Errts Israel just walked in, all these guys, we've just come back from Israel to learn each one of these guys, I know personally have grown in Torah tremendously, they all come back and they all say the same things to me, they're just like rabbi, I didn't learn the thing by you last year, and I thought to myself, man, Torah is just not, and then at what's Israel? And I learned with real rabbi, and it was just amazing. And it was just so good, it was, wow. So, that's what we're trying to do all the time, that's so cute. So, I'm so happy, guys, you give me such a joy. You are my biggest not-hut in the world, and yeah, I'm including my children, I just, you are my biggest not-hut, Krascham, not including the children, I feel like you're all my children, Ashrachim. All right, let's do this now, Kadeh. So, we start off, (singing in foreign language) I know that's the Ash-Mazway to sing it, that's just the way that we would sing it in our house. Do you guys know the Hala-Kha is your supposed to sing that? But your supposed to, why are you supposed to sing that? So, I saw an amazing shot. I saw it in the Sif-Sah-Hain, an amazing shot. How many Midswad-O-Raita do we have of God telling you eat something inside the Torah? Meaning, when does Ash-Mazway to eat something in particular? Like, Bechhar-Amaz-O, and he tells you, once you ate and you're full, you know, Bechhar-Amaz-O, that's nice, but, to tell you eat this! So, eat carbonate, right? Of the Cahed, we'll eat the half-a-chata, the one who owns the Shl-A-Mim, we'll eat some of the shl-A-Mim. The only real time Ashram says, he is Matsaf. Ashram tells us, and Karm-Pesa, we're not the Karm-Pesa, I can't even eat the Matsaf. So, says the Sif-Sah-Hain, but from a khasid-a-Shareb on the side, he said that when a Yid comes to the Sadaar, if you're a real Yid, you should be like counting down the seconds until I get to do my Midswad-O-Raita, again, this year of eating Matsaf. We're afraid the guy's gonna come running into his house, run right up to the Matsaf, just start pounding Matsaf after our feet. And so, because we don't want that, we tell the guy, "Whoa, Kardesh, oh, Kardesh, Kardesh, Kardesh." We tell him, "No, there's a whole Sadaar, there's a whole order to things. Slow your roll, we're gonna get there." Yid and our Sadaar are so excited to do Midswad. So, he brought that that's the Shaf. The other reason we do this, and probably more of the real reason is that the Sadaar itself, and this maybe next week we'll get into, has a very specific catalyst to connotation to it. And that's why we go and we do things Al-Hasadaar, because the way things are lined up, and come down from Shaman, it's specifically on the Sadaar. Let's do this now, Kardesh. Kardesh means being separated from the physical. Have a mind, I'm leaving the natural world, and ascending closer to Yuhashem in the supernatural. What does Kedusha mean? Alex, Kedusha, Kadoosh, doesn't just mean holiness. What does it mean? So, it means being separated. Atakadosh, Shambhaka, Kadoosh, we say, God, your Kadoosh, your name is Kadoosh, what is Kadoosh mean? When we see to God, your Kadoosh, we're saying, you're beyond, like you're separate, you're beyond this world. When something is separated, when we say, how Mavgal been Kodash Lehoh, we're saying we're separating between the spirituality and everything else in this world. Whenever we do Kardesh, whenever we make Kedush, on Friday night for Yuhamtov makes no difference, we're doing something to elevate ourselves out of the physical, and we're actually being, make Kardesh ourselves. A man says to Lady, I read Mekudash, we've been to Matsu, a man says to a lady, you're Mekudash to me. What he's saying is that you're now separated from the rest of the world, and now it's just me and you. That's what it is. When we do Kardesh, what we have a mind right now is, is that we're ascending up to Ashyam, we're getting closer to Ashyam in the supernatural way. How does that work? So first off, who makes Kedush on the night of Vapesa? Everybody, only time. I mean, there are certain men, haggim of people who all the boys do on Friday have for the most part. The men, the women, the kids, everybody does Kedush, why? The reason why is because tonight, I mean, we say to make the kids ask, but tonight everybody has to be Mekudash themselves. Everybody has to uplift themselves to get closer to connect more to Ashyam. So the first cup represents, back inside, the first cup represents the first of the four expressions of freedom. Hotsati Ashyam said, "Four Lishonot of Gitula." The first of the four Lishonot, the four statements of getting out is Hotsati. Ashyam says, "I took you out. You took us out of the natural world to give us supernatural existence to live with you for eternity." It's an amazing thing. Ashyam took us out. How would you guys think about this for a second? We went in as just like these people, and Ashyam said, "I'm taking you out and I'm making you my nation." That's what I'm doing. I just, wow. Hotsati, I'm taking you out of the dark. I'm taking you out. Wow, okay, no. Okay, double stand up. One second, standing up for a game, I'm sitting back down again, and then standing up for this one. Wow, wow, wow. Wow, Liam, Liam, Liam, here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you don't get to sit back there. Too bad, get over here, Liam. That's it. Right, right front center. Too bad, I am so happy to see you. Wow, how many more colors can we make of a terrible poor guy? I'm so sorry. (people chattering) Yeah, no, please. All right, that helped. So, Hotsati means Ashyam took us out from the trial, and Ashyam made us his people. It's an amazing thing. He took us out from the darkness of it, and he brought us up so much higher. Wine is so important to us. All right, let's get into wine. Hidden within the grape is all you need to make wine. You just need to sugar the yeast. You just need to crush down its physical and time to produce it. On the, here. On the, can I get a grape, please? There we go. So, Ashyam makes the grapes grow. And on the skin of every grape, if you look close, there's a thin thin, just, you can't even see microscopic, thin just layer of yeast. That's on the skin of the grape. All you have to do is just take it, crush it, the juice comes out inside the juice's sugar, yeast each sugar, it creates alcohol fermentation. You just take that, put it into a barrel, wait 14 months, pour it out, and your Victor van Good. I mean, it's amazing. You just get loin, it's just, wow. So first off, wow. Hashem is literally saying, how are you not? How are you not into this? Wine is amazing. Hashem hid almost every flavor in the world. Wine is like money. There's pineapple, there's cherry, there's raspberry, there's coffee, there's chocolate. It's all beer. I'm telling you, you're gonna go up to heaven if you don't appreciate wine. Hashem's gonna be like, oh, this guy. Do you know what I did to put into wine? Do you understand how awesome I made wine? And sir, who are you giving me? I'm not a wine guy. You've got to, yes, no, you have to appreciate it. It's not to happen. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. But you really got to get an appreciation. It's something so amazing. But why is it that way? In order to get to wine, in order to get to appreciation, the most complex drink on planet earth, the only way you get there is it's gotta be crushed physically and it needs time to get to its greatness. What happened to the Jews in its rhyme? They were crushed and timed to get to their greatness. And the question is why? Why did it have to be that way? Why does God make the world in this fashion? That only after something is crushed, after something is hurt, after something has been through some difficulties, only after that do you then and then time to go and appreciate and think it through, only after that does the best of us come out. And that is expressed in wine certainly. And that is what we use to always make kiddish. Why? Because what is kiddish? What is kiddusha? It's separating from the rest of the world. But why would we separate from the rest of the world? Because it's too small. Because it's too, I don't know, just raw. It's too desensitized. I'm big around better than that. You guys remember in 300. So when all the Spartans showed up to go to the battle against Zersei's army, and is there anybody holding her? So I just thought, okay, everybody, wow, people I weren't expecting are all there. Wonderful. So they show up and then the first night there's this massive storm. And the storm is sinking all of the bad guys ships and everything else. And all the Spartans are just yelling and screaming. Right, you remember that guy with the eye patches voice? As part of this, I share the rating that the gods themselves are fighting against Zersei's and his army. Seeking to the ground, seeking to the ocean. Yes, wind, yes, scales destroy his ships. Destroying the enemy. All of them are yelling and howling, save one. King Leonidus. And then you see the king is just like stone faced. King Leonidus does not yell. Nor does he express that he thinks face is cold. Stone for you knows tomorrow is another day of war. The king never loses his composure of that is King Leonidus. That guy, who he told him at the end to go back and tell the story is like, no, and you just stay with you, my king. Okay, so I'll move you right up. But somebody's got to go and tell them, like what happened there? Where were we? Right, cottage. So why does the king not yell and scream? Why doesn't he lose his composure? Because he's codosh. He's beyond. Life has taught him. He's learned to nothing life to know that this is nice. And for the young soldiers, they're celebrating thinking that they all will son have a win tomorrow's another day of war. Meaning only the things that have been crushed by experiences of life and had time to get wiser with that, their best comes out. Only those who appreciate what Judaism really is and what it gives us can use wine and say that the same way that this wine is crushed and it becomes, it's greatness on the other side. So too I'm the codosh myself. I separate myself from the smolness of the rest of this world. And I want to come up and get closer to you, Hasha. Now, you're not going to be able to smile to everybody at the table. Because the kids are yelling and screaming and your uncle that nobody ever invites. But for some odd reason, besides to just park himself at the table, the guy doesn't like anything. I'm not sure about Judaism. He just doesn't like anything. Is there anything you won't complain about? So you can't sit and explain. But you'll need to know this. OK, that is battery number one. Everybody? Yeah. Let's give you a second. Sorry, I knew that would happen. Yeah, I'm not sure. Is Ertsis the same as a Hush Verage? That's what they say. I learned that on one of my LL flights back to Israel. I was watching 300. And they translated-- no, they have the Hebrew words. So it's a Hush Verage. By the way, that's how I learned. Yeah, I'm not going to argue with the translator on LL. Here we go. Is it more of the basics? No. I think I said supposedly, Ertsis is a huge, more sophisticated, or self-adaptive. So yes, every single time we do an active VDUGE, we are leaving the physical world behind. And now we're connecting to Asha. Nehapas. Absolutely. All right, yeah, let's keep on going. So no. So that is the concept of what happens with key DUGE with wine, but it gets more. The numerical value back inside of wine is 70. This represents traversing from exalt redemption. From slavery to free men. I'm about to ask you a bunch of questions. Every answer is 70. All right? You ready? OK. How many years weathered between the first and second bantamagdash? Fantastic. How many Jews went down to Mitraiam with Yagof 70? How many people in Bettin doing need for Mashiach to come to Fawlii Sutt Mashiach 70? We say that Mashiach can come to Kehref, Ion, the blink of an eye. The letter Ion is 70. Finally, how many years did Adam give to Davin? How many years? He was just a baby. He gave him 70. Why do you give him 70? Why is this number 70 always standing between Galut and Guilin? The answer is the number 70 has the co-op to take something that is terrible and bring it to something that is great. Yian is the numerical value. You're known. 10, 10, 50 is 70. And God put it into the physical aspect of wine. Because wine can take you from a dark place. You know, it can just, what a lovely, it can get you there. - The opposite also. - The opposite also. - It can take you to the dark side. - Oh, you said the opposite. I don't speak French. I didn't. - No, the opposite. - I don't know why you're messing with me. Why am I doing this? So, but no more. No more wine for me. But the opposite, the number 70 is both. Your question is so good. It's got to be the answer. How many Jews we just said went out to Mitraiam? They went from over there being free men going into Galut as well. Yeah, it just a co-ach of 70 takes you from one place to another. Sometimes good to bad something bad, but fantastic. Yeah. Yes, 100%. And that's what we say, Nihmah Sanjy Yotsa. So, it brings out who you are. If you're, if there's something bad inside you, we're going to find it. If you're a great person, we're going to find it. It just traverses things. So, if you're starting in a physical place, which we all are, and you need to get out of that physical place, and have your own personal redemption out, to go to Kadoch, to go to be separated from everything else, what we use is the vehicle of wine. Why is it? It's Yian at 70. It takes us there. And why is it that way? Because Hashem said that this is the thing. Crush it, give it time, and it's greatness comes out. And that's what we as Yidin are. That's the story of whom we are. We got crushed, we have time, and then our greatness comes out. That's why we use wine. So, ah, you're free. Tonight, you're free from the shackles of the physical, free from anger, free from being affected negatively by others, you're free. And this is something that must be said. The satan is working overtime every single person said there. We all know that. That's why everybody likes the second satar more than the first satar. It's always. The first satar is always pressure. Everything's like, ah, the second satar was just relaxed. You're laughing a lot. I'm not by you, at least by me. As always, the second satar is just amazing. The first satar, you know, so many people, and you got to-- so first of all, if you just got to relax, you really, really, you know, the satan is afraid of what we can become on the other side of the set there. He's just petrified. So, make sure that we are relaxed. You're free from anger, reberk, which would save us. You got to concentrate on this. You're free from anger. You're free from being affected negatively by others. You are free from it all. Lean to the left. Now, we saw this last week. When you lean to the left, that is one of the most important parts of drinking. Why? In the capitalistic concept, what we saw was the lean to the left is manteek. It sweetens all of the din that's coming from the left side. Do you remember what this whole thing last week? Slow down. Enjoy the wine. Laugh and love those around you. You're free from petting this. Acnoble. Acle like a June. So what it is, that's the opener. You just got to be mamash just cool as a cat. So a lot of people start to ask, well, my cousins, my in-laws, all this, I don't know. I'm not going to involve in your personal business, but I beg people, at least one said, they're having a long just you and your family. Just you, the kids, if it's possible, to try and have that because that's just like the most amazing thing. All right. Yums, oh. Oh my gosh. Okay, so then we go to Orchats. full of orgots. Do we have an extra one down over there? I got it. So do you remember from last year? So there we go. There it is. Orgots. So the valve of orgots, what does the valve of orgots do? So valve is a connector. Game, how you doing? Good. I can't just want to know. I was my mushroom thinking about you today. After these guys stopped by, I haven't seen Game and Wob. I'm so happy to see it. Call it a call. So orgots means and washing. Cadet orgots and washing. Why? Why and? Meaning none of the other things have an end. This one has an end and the reason why is because cadet orgots, they are connected to each other. There is a reality that kind of binds them together. The valve of orgots inside means and connecting to cadet. We were mcadet, we made holy hour minds with cadet. Now orgots is the vehicle to spread that holiness and purity to the rest of our body. So let's read this now. In the times of the Mekdash, did Jews ate the carbon pese, not from total tohara and purity? They'd wash their hands so as not to transmit any impurities from themselves to the food, from the food back to themselves. We wash our hands so that when we engage in the physical tonight, we only transmit purity, ensuring that when we give over the story of pese, the lifeline of the Jewish people to our children, it's given only impurity. So this is a fascinating thing. Back then, when the Kohanim used to wash their hands before they did the Avodon de Betemignašans, because they're about to serve God. Why do we wash our hands, let's say, for bread? We do that because when we get involved in something that's going to be physical, we could mistakenly just eat that thing just because I want to eat this physical thing. Or we can stop ourselves and say, I'm doing something that's a holy Avoda. I'm actually doing something that is going to be my field to get closer to God. The reason why we wash our hands is to let you know that this is no less of an Avoda of Tahirah. This is no less of a pure amazing act that you're about to do. And this eating is, so the eating tonight of the seder, it's completely spiritual. The eating tonight of the seder, it's going to bring us to incredible places, eating the mats of the mārā. So we stop and we wash our hands to say, I'm being mityārā myself. And that's a connection to Kādēš. Kādēš was mārā mārā's mind to go to āša. This is purifying our bodies to get close to āša. Although no brahā has recited, have intense concentration to have the body rectified and purified. Eyes close tight, meditate on the physical being the vessel for the soul. This purities, what sets us apart from the nations of the world. Your body is just a vessel. This cup, it's a beautiful wine glass, but what is this for? It's for one thing, it's to hold the wine. Your body is the cup. The wine is your soul. I mean, that's just the way that it goes. Tonight we have to recognize that my body is just a cup holding what God gave me when I left Egypt's purpose. I just, to become a part of Him, to connect to Him. So my body tonight is just here to hold my soul, but truly that's where I am, I am the soul. And then it comes to Kārpāsa. And then everybody rules it. Because when we get to Kārpāsa, people start saying, "Oh, we can eat something, I'll find them, star them, I'm so hungry." So if you say that, guess what? Your body just kicked back in an overdrive, right? So you got to shut it down. You got to shut--no, no, no. We're eating because of something spiritual to we're about to get out of that. So a focusator is one that choice to be as dichotomous as possible. Okay. Very proud of that word. Yeah, dichotomous. All my 12th graders, no clue. No clue. Waste of money in that education. I just dichotomous means two opposite things happening at the same time. So a dichotomy, two opposite things. A say there is supposed to be as dichotomous as possible. It's supposed to be as opposite as possible. Let's see. We dip the vegetable and salt water because we're aristocrats. We dip to represent the mortar mixed with tears of our ancestors. What are we doing? So we have our beautiful table set up, white, beautiful tablecloth, all the China out, everything. They say that the Marille was a money lender. I've used the lend money in the 1800s to Jews, non-Jews. So they would give them a collateral. So if even non-Jews would come, they would give them like a silver candlestick or something that he would hold onto until he had his money back. So he had this massive just a closet filled with all of these silver stuff locked away. Once a year, he would unlock it. He would take out all--and we just put it all around the house. He would make his house look as aristocratic as noble, as much as a king's castle as possible. We're supposed to be kings tonight. We're supposed to be free from everything. So our kids see us as being free. And we're dipping. Why are we dipping? Because we say aristocrats, wealthy people, back then, they would have more than one course. You know, regular people just have here that would have five courses. And the first course they would just dip and im by my say to them make everybody stick their pinky out when they dip 100%. I'm feeling like getting monocles. You know, the Mr. Monopoly guy, you know, this man, like like, did you get everybody in the top hat also. Okay, Amazon, we got to--now that Amazon, there's no excuse that anybody's pays off to be rocking. I mean, you can get top hats and monocles for--okay. It's just amazing. It's just amazing. Because you're supposed to be--you're supposed to just be this like noble person. And you dip in your carp, I still need to tell the kids, by the way, we're dipping in the carp, I'll say, "Because the tears remind us of the fact that we were crying because we were slaves and it was terrible and we were just beating to death." So, you're like, "What are we doing?" I'm like, "Are we thrilled? Are we happy? Are we free? Are we aristocrats? Are we depressed? And we're remembering sadness." Say, "Yo, men, 20 days. We're doing both. It's dichotonic. It's both at the same time. Why are we doing it that way? You'll see." In the spirit of being m--okay, this next piece I saw, I think in a khabad, I liked it too much. I had to put it inside. In the spirit of being m-cadesh ourselves, "Cadesh made our minds holy," or "Cads made our body holy." And with the act of dipping the food in water, similar to a m-cve, carp has makes our food holy as well. [singing] You're dipping your food into a m-cve. Okay. Nobody cares. It's amazing. I just--is it really a make-for-no? Relax yourself, Tony, time. But it's just cool. It's just like, like, like, that's the, um, all right. I'm going to give it down to myself. Note to self, take it out of your thing. Next, carp has. So carp has is also the letters of perach samar. Same letters, right? Perach. What is perach? Perach with a khabad is a flower. Perach with a khabad, so a feedback breaking word. Almost like meaningless labor. Avodakasha is like hard work, but at least, you know, you get paid for it. Perach is like, when you're doing something and it's just pointless the entire time. I want to surprise my wife and make, like, a picture album thingy, you know, like online, like, you make one of those things. So as I--oh, 50% of it's on them. I spent two hours. I'm just sitting there. I have so much to do. I'm like, "But once you get into it, you got to pick the background color, and then you got to put in the-- go through the whole thing." And at the end, with like, 50% off, the thing was like a crazy amount of money, like, you got to be-- - The whole thing was just-- That is perach. Perach is when you do something, and it's worthless. The whole thing was pointless. This entire thing was-- by the way, they got me. Oh, I paid for it. Let's say it. I just-- I mean, I didn't do it. The glassy-- I took down the price of it, but at the end of the day, what, you didn't? They momish, no. It's definitely you didn't who owned that company. So perach samach. Perach is bitter, bitter work of samach. Samach the morale tells us that the number six, the number six, the 600, 600,000, they all fall under the same root. The number six is just times by tens. And when it's times by tens, it just intensifies what the number six is. Same for four, same for five, which is intensifies it. So perach samach is really a reference to the back-rate work of the 600,000 Jews. Why would referring to carpas as perach samach? We're the chosen people who had to go through these conditions. In fact, it was the perach that led to the samach, to the totality of our 600,000 souls. Why did Hashem make it have to be this way? Why did Hashem make it this way? Hashem is found as perach to samach. The only way that you get to the samach, don't you get that 600,000 souls was Al-Darach perach was through the back-breaking work. That's the only way you get there. Why? How many? Hashem you could have given us an easier note? Daaf-gaaf, the way that the Jew had looked throughout history. From the first bed to make our second bed to make our Jews being persecuted. Now, no matter what, there's always a perach and somehow or other we keep on growing from it. But Hashem always, that's what carpas teaches us. Why is it that way? Are we his people? Or are we not? Does he love us or does he want to destroy us? Which one is it? It is a dichotomy, it's a satire. But we're trying to get our kids to really be bothered by this. Why? Because the answer to this is the answer to our immortality. The answer to this is, "Vegad-e-Levenpa." The answer to this is the secret to our survival forever and the most important thing. The answer to this will hopefully keep our kids Jews forever. So let's keep on going. Yacht-hats. Yacht-hats is splitting the matza. So I don't know if you guys are starting to pick up a little bit on the underlying theme of here of what we're trying to do, right? By the wine we started to talk about how we're supernatural, how being crushed and getting the quality of the comes after it, that, that, that, that, that is something we have to be the cod there's separate ourselves from the rest of the world. And then we saw Orchats being micadish our bodies because tonight we're involved in Tahara. And then we saw carpas. Yeah, it's were both slaves and were free. But the only way that you get to the Samahas through the parach, through the crushing act. That's how you get there. And then Yachat. Yachat is the artist, weirdest aspect of the saver. Because it's almost so anti-climatic. It's like, click. Okay. And then let's move on. What is going on with Yachat? Well, the other other why why are we doing this Yachat? So it's an amazing thing. We're about to tell our kids a story of Mitzra'i. And we started out with the one people who did not suffer in Mitzra'i. The lady. The lady in, did they go through the gahanom of Mitzra'i? No. They they didn't work. They didn't have because they did to a voldazara. They were not at the 49th level of tum. They were just I want you guys to appreciate this. Imagine like a Nazi chasing a Jew during World War II. And like his rotwiler just. And the dog is just chasing a Jew. And and and like the Nazis blow his whistle. Now it's now you're new. And he's just and he's just young. He's running as yells and the Jew stops. And like the dog is holding back the dog. And and he's just says to the Jew like, "she takes out his gun." And he's like, "Guide, so they get their hearts out of the gun." And he's yelling. And then the Jews are like, "Well, I'm a lavy." And then the Nazi is just like, "I'm so sorry." But I heard. And the guy turns around. And the guy says, "I'm a lavy." And then the Nazi just stops. And then the Nazi says, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm going to go to the next house." And he just moves on. That's what happened in the tribe. You know, the Mitzra'i are running around trying to like gather up all the Jews and hurt them, kill their kid up. Comes to the old man. You know, they didn't help. So what's the secret about the lavy? Before we get into what happened to the rest of the client's role, I want to let you know the secret of the lavy. And that's the person that we did. So we take the middle Mata. We take the lavy Mata. And let's look inside. We split the middle Mata, the lavy. The lavy was counted at 30 days to be a soldier in the Legion of Hashem's army. All the other Jews, when were they counted? Be Israel, remember they counted to go into the army? 20 years old, right from 20 to 60. That's when they were counted. No, not the lavy. 30 days old. Once he's a viable baby. That's it. You belong in the service of God. You are now in his honor guard. Rashi says, he's in the Legion of Hashem. And you belong to Hashem forever. I don't care that you could be a doctor. You could be an engineer. You could be an artist. Whatever your talents are, they've got to be given towards Hashem. So he exists in this world to live in the next world. The lavy. The smaller half. So we cracked the Mata. And you'll look at it. The smaller half, the left is left. I'm sorry for Lechemoni, representing the lavy's connection to this world. So his connection is tiny. His connection is just nothing. His connection is just that's it. It's the small half. Here, do we have something to. I don't know. Okay. All right. Oh, you put a little wine in this guy. No, no, it's not going to go. Oh, do you have a cookie? Yeah, much better. Okay. Man, that was so tempting though. All right. Perf. Oh, yum. So that, that just completely. Yeah. Man. That was like just the held on to each other. It's like pulling away a little baby cow from its mother. It was just okay. So you have your two little halves over here. So you do the yafas. Here's the small half and here's the bigger half. The small half is Lechemoni. This is the poor man's Mata. This is the lavy. This is his lifeline. This is what he has for this world. The lavy, the small half is left for Lechemoni, representing the lavy's connection to this world. The larger half adds hidden for the afficoma and representing his reward in the world to come. The rhombum writes, "The lochewet lavy bulvad." The rhombum tells us everybody can become a lavy. Whoever wants to join into that can become a lavy. When splitting the matzah, the small half is meant to be the letter Dalit. The larger is a valve. Now, it doesn't look like a dollar. It doesn't look like a valve, but it's representing those letters. The gmarnshabbat talks all about what the letters are. Dalit is Dalit-lonitaf. Tough. It's the word Dalit, which means a door, but it's also like the word Dal. Gdala-mukhashim, the faqan al-delatafah. It means poor. We are poor inside this world. This guy is impoverished. He's impoverished from the expulity. He wants to go in games connection. When he lives a life of Dalit, of being separated from the physical, these guys just came back from Israel. I'm so jealous. Guys, your Rebaim's apartments, big, small, tiny. How many kids are running out of those apartments? Too many. Have you ever played that game with your friend? You came here like, you want to count how many kids here? Right? Because they're never in the same place at the same time. How happy are they? They're the happiest you then. They don't have much of a connection to this world because even owning a car in Israel is like, you got to apologize to your neighbors. Like, "Oh, like, grandmother died, so I was able to afford it." It's almost a shame if you own a car. You're so this is it. They have lecha money. This is their connection to this world. That's all they restore it. They're Dal. They're improbished. They don't have much physicality. But that is the delet. That is the door to your valve. What is the valve? The valve we set as the connector. The valve, they have michigan were the loops inside the michigan that connected the curtains together. Viyomar and he said, "Val is a connector." They're doing this to be a doorway to get to this, to get to Olam Haba. Then we hide the Afti Coleman. The large piece represented by the valve by the connector. Olam Haba is where we finally connect with our reward, with our king. We're harding our Olam Haba. We tell the children, "Olam Haba is hidden." But if we search it out, there's surely a wonderful prize from your Aba waiting for you. Guys, the Afti Coleman is like the happiest part of the whole thing, right? You I owe whoever finds it, gets the prize all thing. It's a beautiful thing, but unfortunately, we kind of lose the point of it. What's the point of it? The point of I skipped gets asked questions. All thing, but just the full process of a focusator is, you tell your kids, the lavy never was hurt because he always did what Hashem said. You know what he did? Crack. He lived this life. You know, Aba worked so hard to have bought this beautiful house and Aba worked so hard to get this beautiful cars and Aba worked so hard to get the vacation. All of that, I'm telling you, is not the thing that makes Aba happy. I have you. I have the family. I have Hashem. I have purpose. Honestly, if we didn't have this big house, if we didn't have the fancy cars, if anything else, I would still be just as happy. If your kids say, "We don't believe you," then you then you had a lot of work to do as a father. Then that means you've been running after this. You've been making your Olam Hazel this. That's a problem. You can't sell your kids on something that's not true. So you tell them, "Our connection to physicality is Jews is this. It's tiny. It's not meant to be a lot. We're in this world, not for all the physical stuff. We use the physical stuff like when we wash your hands by orcats. We use the physical stuff to attain more spirituality. The lady lived this life and he was untouchable. From the worst of people, he was untouchable. And this is what he worked for, his Olam Haba. So, you know what Olam Haba is? Well, we hide the Afi Coleman and what happens? We put it away. It's very hard to find. It didn't. But when you search really hard for the Afi Coleman and you find it, what happens? Your Aba gives you a big prize. If this is Olam Haba, your Olam Haba is hidden. You're going to spend your whole life searching for it. And when you find it, your Aba in Shammai is going to give you a big prize. That's what we have to give over to our kids. So before we start to haggada of the story of how difficult it was in Mitzrayim, we have to start to talk about the Levian who didn't work at all and that's really who were supposed to be. All right, keep on going now. My gid. So my gid means telling over. My gid means to talk over story. Now guys, we're only going to be doing another like this side five in the beginning of six and that's it for tonight. We're going to do the rest next week, but let's all jump into this now. My gid means telling over. Our telling over is split into two parts. Part one. From Halachma'anya until Ya'ah'o meroschodesh. Those first paragraphs is the subject of the story. Part two from Mitzrayila, A'o de A'o de Zahra'o, from when we start to talk about the fact that Terach, the father of A'o de Zahra, up until the end of my gid where we drink the second cup, that's the telling of the story. Be sure to spend most of the time on the second part. Most people spend most of their time on the first part of my gid. They have a lot to say about Allah, Mahniah. They want all the kids and grandkids to say Mahni Shana, which is beautiful. And then from Avadam-Hayinu, that's when the wife starts to say to the husband, what the known is for Tawar, or the husband starts to say to the wife, but everyone else, the kids are getting tired. That is the main part. That is the main part of the whole thing. You know, that's the story. So go through these parts quicker, meaning what it's about, part one, which is the subject of the story, go through that quicker. But there are different costumes right now. Different costumes are practiced over here. You get the children's tasks from waving the carada, the sader plate over everyone's head, and singing Bifulu to putting Matsai in a sack and walking with it while others are asked where are you coming from and where you're going. It's all to set the mood of being different tonight. Do you guys do the Bifulu, the Moroccans? Bifulu, y'all, son, oh me, it's right in my life, man. I mean to us, that is like one of the highlights. My father prays over each of us when he used to do it. And even if there's once or twice in the sader that we lose it, or five times that you lose it. But get those moments, get those moments and let them really matter. All right. Hullachmania. So we say this is the poor man's bread. So we put away the affi-common. And now we have the broken piece. Hullachma'a'a'niah, this is the poor man's bread. De al-Khanu'avatana baradim, it's right. There are four fathers, eight in Egypt. So I don't know why a lot of my students were shocked. They were like, what? Somebody made me want. They said, they ate the Mats and Egypt. I thought they only left with the Mats on their back. So newsflash, they ate the Mats in Egypt and they also had an on their back when they left. And that really is going to be the question now. Why is Mats a lechemoni, the poor man's bread? But it's also what they ate when they left Egypt as the bread of salvation. We pray the Mats are round and say, this is the Mats are they ate in Egypt. Then we put it away. The children ask why we're putting away. So let's eat it. We respond, you think you've earned it. We don't have to learn what Mats is. And after the story, when you've earned it, then we can eat it. Meaning your job by Mahna shtan, by Halakh Mahanya, is to show that there is a contradiction over here in Mats. It's both what we eat when we're really poor and it's what we eat when we're free. And the question is what's shot in that. And at this point, and getting to the end of today, Mahna shtan. At this point, the kid should be so upset that the kid should just be like, you know, why are we such weird people? Why can't we just like to rest of the world here? Question on the theme of the say there. The kid is so fed up with all these odd and confusing things happening. He asked the four questions. But the common denominator of the four questions is asking on the dichotomy of the night. Everything we do is used is so different. The rest of the year is one way tonight. It's another. Why can't we just be like the rest of the world? What makes us so different? Now, I know your kid doesn't say that because kids don't know how to express themselves. My daughter, God bless her, but she just says what she sees. I can have some of my students come over and they have like long hair than I were in the keep up. So just look at mine like, are you Jewish? Oh no. And they're like, well, I'm Jewish because her hair looks like her girl's hair. She's straight out. Just right there. And there's nothing. What do you get up? You know, put a seven-year-old girl in her place. She's going to grin and bury that. That's all there is to it. So kids say what they see. So they say what they see. Which is that it's so funny. How come we're dipping tonight and not other nights? How come tonight is not? Other nights are, how meds. But what they're asking is what they're seeing, what they're fed up with. They're like, everything is so weird. Why are we so weird? And how do I know that that's truly their question? Last paragraph of the night. Switching over to page six. How do I know that that's goofy their question because what is the answer given by the father? Does the father answer any of the questions directly? No, he does not. What is the answer given by the father? Avadamha Yinu. Answer is on the theme of the say there. We're so different because we're servants of Hashem. We can't be like the rest of the world because that's just too small. Hashem took us out by changing all of nature to show us what we are with supernatural. We're beyond time, we're beyond space, we're immortal. Tonight we find out the secret of our mortality. What the father says to his son is is that Avadamha Yinu, the power of the tribe, we were slaves. We were done for. We were finished. We should have expired in Egypt. We should have just and had God not taken us out in these other words, right? Then we would still be there or we would have died there. But that's something crazy happened. The one who created the entire world looked down and said, "These are my people to represent who I am and to bring my will to the world and to live with me forever. These slaves took us out and they lifted us up and he told us you can't ever be like the rest of the world. You're different, you're choose. And now give a look around the world. We're so different. We're so different. We're the only people who can get murdered on October 7th and be considered to murderers on October 8th. That's possible. How's that? It's just not. We're the only ones that the world is constantly watching under magnifying glass, not just for now, but for centuries. The world is revolved around our news since the beginning of the time and it's never stopped why. You guys remember there was this person going around asking how many Jews you think they're on the world, just random people on the street and they're like, "I don't know, a billion, a few hundred million, and when they told them, "No, this is about 14 and a half, 15 million Jews, that's not possible. It's not possible that there's so little amount of Jews." And yet they're just. Everybody's obsession. We're different. And tonight we're going to learn about the secret of what makes us different and the secret to how we can be with Hashem forever. That's what we've got to go for and then, because other Shem next week we're going to get into exactly how we explain that. Alright, we're in now, guys.
