There's a Part of the Jew that is Kulo Matzah

0:00 When you keep your eyes and ears open, you just never know what you're gonna see, what you're gonna hear. 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. And the cleaning person said, you know, there he was talking about sandwiches. And oh my gosh, there was this restaurant with a sandwich. And I didn't just have one sandwich. I actually took one to go, because it was just such a good sandwich. 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. When you go for more, it's a sign that it's good.

0:40 Just like a simple thing that he overheard, but I was thinking of it in the context of Passover. Pesach, right? Pesach, the Khalbe, Haresa, Meshubach, the more, the merrier. The more we talk about it, the more praiseworthy it is. There's there's a focus on on focusing on the good, talking about the events, on talking about the inyanic. And the more we talk about it, the more it's gonna be miseras. The more we talk about it, the more it's gonna. When you go back for more, it's a sign that it's good. It's a sign that there's a relationship here. It's a sign that there's a love that go uh taking place, right? 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.

1:32 Chabbats representing the Sitra Akhar, the Zahar, where it puffs up and fluffs up and it's fake, but you really press it down. That's what we want. We just want simplicity, we just want the goodness. 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. I was thinking, you know, we say in Manashtana, what's different? Why is this night different than all other nights? And in one of the answers, we say, because this night is Kulo batzah, or at least the question we ask it, right? This night is kulobatza. Pesah is about realizing that this diet is kulomatzah. There's a part of every single one of us that's kulo matza.

2:13 Matza represents that goodness, Rapmatza representing the Nakuda Taiva, matzah representing that pintalayid inside. 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. But on Pesach, we realize kulo matzah. There's a part of us that's all matzah that's all good, that's that's only good. And Pesach is a time to connect to that. 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? That is true freedom. That's asman Khair Sainum. And that leads to simcha, that leads to joy.

2:54 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. And Rizashan, we should all be Zoha to tap into this goodness, to see it in ourselves, to see it in others. To see our atma, to see our atzama, our essence. That essence is good to see it in ourselves, and to see it in our family, and our friends, and it all of Kali. So wishing you all the best and a kahag kasar isn't.
