¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

It is ironic that the matzoh we eat on Pesach night commemorate both slavery and freedom at the same time. The Hagaddah tells us in its introduction at Ha Lachma Aniah that our ancestors ate matzoh as slaves in Egypt. The taskmasters would not allow their subordinates to wait for the dough to rise so they therefore were forced to bake hurriedly and eat the unleavened bread. Ensuant to this we read in the Hagaddah the famous Mishna of Rabban Gamliel that the matzoh celebrates freedom. The Bnei Yisroel were to leave Egypt immediately, and in taking their provisions, did not have time once again for the dough to rise. Perhaps this dichotomy identifies who we are as a people and why we have survived to this present day. On the one hand we relive our persecution and simultaneously take these identical symbols and dedicate them for a future filled with hope and perseverance May the matzoh this year inspire us to learn the lessons of history and dedicate ourselves to build a new generation steeped in hope, prayer and good deeds.

Next year In Jerusalem.

Happy and Kosher Pesach
Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well as well as those worldwide with this virus. We mention their names at each Torah reading and think about them in our private tefillos. Let Hashem hear our tefillos on their behalves, and all have a speedy recovery. If there is a choleh that needs a misheberach, please email their name to anshemotele@sbcglobal.net .
Since we are not at shul with Torah readings, in your private shmone esrai, you can include in the “Refaeinu” paragraph a special tefilla for the cholim that you have in mind.
