CLD #841

In today’s daily email by Rav Pinto shlit’a there is a beautiful Devar Torah about Pesakh and we want to bring it down and integrate it for today’s Chizuk Line of the Day. Rav Pinto explains that the slavery in Egypt before Moshe redeemed us under Hashem’s divine commandment was not only a physical slavery but it was also a spiritual slavery. Meaning that not a single Jew could have reached their spiritual goal in the world without leaving Egypt. Not only that, but the freedom we experienced when leaving Egypt was an ETERNAL FREEDOM.

But there IS a catch. Hazal (our Sages) teach us that this freedom was Al Halukhot, upon the Ten Commandments. This means that in order to really feel the freedom of Egypt’s control the Jew needed to actually be attached the to the Ten Commandments and follow them!

What does this have to do with Pesakh? Besides for the holiday beginning in under 2 weeks, Pesakh is a time of letting go of the hametz, the source of tumah (impurity) in our lives. Let go of it and make sure its completely cleaned out of our home, out of our hearts and minds and future. Whatever Egypt is possessing us is clearly not what Hashem wants for us and what He has for us in mind when creating us and bringing us into this world. Am Yisrael is not a nation of materialism and physicality: Am Yisrael is a nation of LIVING IN THIS WORLD under Hashem’s Kingship. For some people this is hard to fathom but this is the EMET.

Judaism=Think is theCLD’s foundation because if we do not begin to process the reasoning behind the beauty of the Mitzvot and a life of Torah then we will continue living in our materialistic (and in the end of the day) and empty lifestyle. Hashem wants us to live a life of fullness, of meaning and appreciation, happiness, goals and objectives other than financial success. Judaism is living a life of fulfillment for ourselves via Hashem. What other type of master or king in the world commands his people PURELY for their own good?

Pesakh Kasher VeSameakh!

Judaism=Think.
