00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:04.320
When you keep your eyes and ears open, you just never know what you're gonna see, what you're gonna hear.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:15.199
And the other day I was just minding my own business, sitting down, and there was a desk with a security guard, and there was a cleaning person who was talking to the security guard.

00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.000
And the cleaning person said, you know, there he was talking about sandwiches.

00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.359
And oh my gosh, there was this restaurant with a sandwich.

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.679
And I didn't just have one sandwich.

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.920
I actually took one to go, because it was just such a good sandwich.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.079
And security guard's listening, he's validating, he says, Yeah, you know, when when you go for more, when you go for more, that's a sign that it's really good.

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.560
When you go for more, it's a sign that it's good.

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.039
Just like a simple thing that he overheard, but I was thinking of it in the context of Passover.

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.320
Pesach, right?

00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.200
Pesach, the Khalbe, Haresa, Meshubach, the more, the merrier.

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.799
The more we talk about it, the more praiseworthy it is.

00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:02.479
There's there's a focus on on focusing on the good, talking about the events, on talking about the inyanic.

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.959
And the more we talk about it, the more it's gonna be miseras.

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:06.400
The more we talk about it, the more it's gonna.

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.439
When you go back for more, it's a sign that it's good.

00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.680
It's a sign that there's a relationship here.

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.760
It's a sign that there's a love that go uh taking place, right?

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:32.560
Where the whole point of Utiasmitsaraim was Lahutiya Khibasan to show Hashem's love for us and to revert back's manchiren to realize we're freed from all the burdens here on this world, from all the physical things that try to pull and push us down, from all the chubits that tries to say you're bad, you're wrong.

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.439
Chabbats representing the Sitra Akhar, the Zahar, where it puffs up and fluffs up and it's fake, but you really press it down.

00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:40.079
That's what we want.

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.400
We just want simplicity, we just want the goodness.

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:50.159
And we talk about it, we talk about the story, we talk about the back and forth, we talk about the guls, and we talk about the ga'ula, the hopes, the dreams, the inspiration.

00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.079
I was thinking, you know, we say in Manashtana, what's different?

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:56.480
Why is this night different than all other nights?

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.640
And in one of the answers, we say, because this night is Kulo batzah, or at least the question we ask it, right?

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.719
This night is kulobatza.

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.520
Pesah is about realizing that this diet is kulomatzah.

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.120
There's a part of every single one of us that's kulo matza.

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:20.879
Matza represents that goodness, Rapmatza representing the Nakuda Taiva, matzah representing that pintalayid inside.

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:31.120
You see, all other nights were associated with the Khamets, with the Sitra Akra, and you know, he tries to convince us that there's parts of us that are bad, and it's true, there are parts of us that aren't so good.

00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.960
But on Pesach, we realize kulo matzah.

00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.719
There's a part of us that's all matzah that's all good, that's that's only good.

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.960
And Pesach is a time to connect to that.

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:48.400
Because when a person realizes that there's a part in me that's kula matzah, there's a part of me that's only good, that's freedom, right?

00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.919
That is true freedom.

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.159
That's asman Khair Sainum.

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.159
And that leads to simcha, that leads to joy.

00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:02.080
And you can leave whatever it is behind and you could just go because you realize that there's a part of me that's kulo matzah, that's only good, that's all good.

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.840
And Rizashan, we should all be Zoha to tap into this goodness, to see it in ourselves, to see it in others.

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.800
To see our atma, to see our atzama, our essence.

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:20.560
That essence is good to see it in ourselves, and to see it in our family, and our friends, and it all of Kali.

00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.240
So wishing you all the best and a kahag kasar isn't.
