CLD #844


Yesterday’s CLD:
The Ramban writes in Iggeret HaRamban [the famous pamphlet he wrote to his son over 1,000 years ago] that each individual who reads the pamphlet everyday will have all his/her prayers answered! What does the Ramban mainly discuss in his pamphlet? The power of anava, modesty and its importance for every Jewish person take upon themselves a lifestyle of anava with Hashem.

Pesakh is all about bringing ourselves down to a level of REAL modesty. Where do we see this in our face? The Matzah, Matzvot are unleavened bread, which represents the individual’s control of their characteristic traits and attitudes/behaviors to be filled with anava instead of the ga’ava (self-pride, haughtiness).

The Ramban
We also say everyday in Pitom HaKetoret that Hashem does not want honey or yeast in the Korbanot (animal sacrifices), because we do add certain foods/items to the Korbanot beside the animal itself (such as oil, wine, spices, etc.). What does the Seor represent? It represents the ga’ava, the self-pride and haughtiness attitude of “I did it myself” and “from my own strength this was accomplished.” Hashem HATES people like this. The ultimate characteristic trait is ANAVA, modesty, and that is why Moshe Rabbenu brought down the Torah and took the entire nation of Israel out of Egypt > because as the Torah testifies he was the most humble man that ever lived.

Be’ezrat Hashem this PEsakh, the holiday of bringing ourselves to the level of Matzot, UNleaveaned bread, we should really reach a level of Anava. This Anava will lead us to all channels of success, health and happiness!

Judaism=Think.
Khag Kasher VeSameakh!
