RABBI’S PESACH MESSAGE

 

ONE MORE QUESTION

 

The entire Haggadah recited on Seder nights is basically a text engaging us to questions and answers.  This concept is derived from the Torah itself, “And it shall be when your son will ask you at some future time”, “What is this?” You shall say to him “With strong hand Hashem removed us from Egypt from the house of bondage”.  Ex. 13:14.

 

The genius of our Torah visualized Jewish families sitting around the Seder table on Pesach night.  Which would be a good way to engage in conversation?  By asking questions, just as the Ma Nishtana? Exemplifies, with the four sons, who knows One? And others.  And when we think that the Haggadah has covered all the bases, there remains one pertinent question that the Haggadah seems to ignore altogether, namely; “Who is Hashem that I should heed his voice to send out Israel?”  Exodus 5:2.  After all, this question posed by Pharaoh precipitated the freedom of Benei Yisrael from bondage, should it not merit some mention by the Haggadah?

 

The answer is, that the Haggadh is not concerned about that which Pharaoh was not prepared to do for Israel, rather, it centers on what Hashem willed to do for Am Yisrael.

 

Thus, the principal player of the Exodus saga is not Moshe or Pharaoh but Hashem Himself, as it is written; “And Hashem brought us out of Egypt, not through an angel, not through a seraph, (feiry angel) not through a messenger, but the Holy One, blessed is He, in His glory”.  Could we ask for more?

 

My family joins me in wishing you and yours, a Pesach Alegre, Kasher, Veod Sameach.

Wishing Rafi a happy tenth birthday and many happy returns.

Shabbat Shalom
