We are up to our elbows in bubbly soap… for this we should be happy? Without preparation there can be no joy! Let us focus our attention on what we are striving to clean and create.
What a great privilege to have been chosen to be G-d’s people and to have been granted the opportunity to stand in the company of angels. With every scrub, brush and wipe we draw down Holy light into this world, our soul and into the souls of our families. Imagine for a moment that you are preparing for a festive meal in Gan Eden; the Shechinah HaKedosha and Her majestic Heavenly Hosts are crowded around to hear the prayers recited at your Pesach seder table.
Every Jew can feel Hashem’s presence on Seder night and experience Heavenly delight. What sweetness! Hashem saved each of us personally from the onset of the plagues; we were spared because Hashem made us a part of Himself, so to speak. A special relationship began to develop since Hashem took us out of Mitzrayim; a unique feature of this bond remains alive in Yisrael until today. We are a nation apart, divinely protected, distinct from the rest of the world.
Therefore the main aspect of preparing for Chag Pesach is to be b’Simcha; to praise Hashem for all the hidden and revealed goodness and miracles in our lives. We glorify Hashem and express our profound appreciation for this once-a-year-mitzvah in which we work to remove falsity on the inside through cleaning actions we perform on the outside.
The Daily Dose of Emuna will be on break for the month of Nissan and will return B’H (Mashiach b’rachamim by then!) starting Monday, May 5th).
May your Seder be meaningful, your matzah healing, and your afikoman easy to find! As we celebrate Pesach, may we all be grateful for the brachot of freedom and the promise of Geulah Shleimah b’mheira, Amen. Wishing you a Chag Pesach Kasher v’Sameach.
