Kiddush RotaAfter Pesach we would like to establish a Kiddush Rota. If you are interested please email Natalie on [email protected]
Bitesize Torah from Rabbi RosenfeldThe great Chassidic masters were less interested in which brand of chrayne was the strongest to go with the ‘Avodat Hashem’ –serving G-d.
The 19th Century Hassidic Rebbe Moshe of Kubrin once asked his disciple Reb Mordechai, “Have you prepared an Etrog for Pesach?”, “An Etrog’s for Succot”, said Reb Mordechai, “what does it have to do with Pesach?” Reb Mordechai explained, ‘The Zohar’ (the mystical book of the Kabbalists) teaches that the Etrog represents the heart. We have to prepare our hearts not just for Succot but for Pesach as well. And it’s all to do with ‘Bedikat Chametz’ –searching the night before Seder night for any chametz that might not have been cleared away.
But it’s not just about looking for crumbs; chametz, the air that puffs up dough into bread, represents our ego. Just as chametz makes bread look bigger than it is without adding any substance, so too an ego filled with self-importance is ultimately nothing but hot air.”
So Pesach is also the time to remove excessive pride and negative impulses from our hearts–Chag Kasher v’Sameyach!
