this pacer is going to be different than all other soughing that we've celebrated still one will s managed on our land eyes there why is this night different from all other nights well it's gonna be profoundly different because all other experiences of pacer we usually have family around us our children our grandchildren in-laws and this year because of the corona virus and this epidemic we have to be isolated and it's extremely important that everybody observe all the health regulations that have been that have been you know have been laid out for everybody no manana no private many on him social distancing and so on so I thought it'd be appropriate to speak about the Alumni many come over that teaches us and tells us about the experience of celebrating the Seder alone the Rambam into exile from hill kilometer matzo says but some class oshina Delilah is there today she you have on in the issue of young Manish Donna Shalala Sammy called al ellos that and this night you have to do things to make it a little different to peak children's interest so that they should ask why is this night different from all other nights actually your sugar have the yomel ahem till you was able to respond to them Catholic up Eva Catholic acarya this is what we experienced halo then if he doesn't have a son - Esther - tano so the ROM says he's so awesome if he's alone doesn't have a son with him so his wife asks halo YCJA if he's alone and his wife is not with him shows - Donna Carlisle Azera - cool uncle common if he just has another colleague with him and other colleagues so then they ask him and they ask each other why is this night different - Donna hi elevado what if he's experiencing the stator completely alone so the RAM says Shola axle managed to Delilah's era so then he asks himself the Fiat ashes why is this night different from all other nights so the mock-up of this Rama is a myth kilter the mistletoe says only Elvis man she a tional been they no event acts will be null then ask Amy nine what if he's alone how do you know that they still have to ask for your mimosa al-haram is a si yo I say it's a slim it's right and this is also the moment so from a duck sign it says turn upon and coffin but no show alone a coffin his son asks him then a no East Oh show law so if his son doesn't know the managed honor that his wife asks be in love who Shola arsenal but if not then he asks himself the phyllis schneck hoc committee for comedy yoga video suppressor show and sellers here and if it's just two people having a say edit together to calm him each one s the other so one could query him he could be mr. topic what if he doesn't have a son to ask present so who comes first isn't his wife is that preferable or was it preferable and that a fellow should ask his colleague some for the lotion of the random it would seem that ish no his wife comes first because theorem says the in a low issue shoulder is there itself but but it sounds that it doesn't is there that his wife is preferable to his car to his colleague however for the high on them the way he quenched a locker the high other says in a shanty no you shall be no oka very / filum issue so from the bank for feeling ish though it seems that container was totally Ishtam so I'm going to talk about what what this revolves around so I heard from the valve and the valve has this and one of his York side soon he has a fundamental principle about the Mitzvah of sequence is me trying because the Mishna says him something for donation allow me the oven avi as she ignore call her pouch Akula that in terms of the Mitzvah of secret sign your delish you interpret the entire partial of allow me over avi which is the power shot of McCovey Kuen and the random codifies that as well in tax I'm Turkish consul matzo he says for who she you dosed me allow me over the bar V a cheat will call her power sure so call her most suitable married with Josh been partially a lazy Meshuga the mom says that we interpret the entire power shot which is in fact the core text of our Gordon and the mom says and he we know that how marvelous are amazingly super development seems to her to relate that specifically the whole Hammarby big Vash vouchers ooh in in terms of interpreting this powder that's praiseworthy so I mean of course what strange is this why is it that the core text is around me over Davi I mean we would have thought if you're riding the Haggadah they're explicit power shield in the Torah gracious for a whoa whoa mashaallah that relates explicitly to the story of the Exodus why did we take an obscure POW sure in Seifert volume when we have the first hole the whole slew of ashes the beginning safest most that deal with with the part of the story of obviously Smithsonian we would think that that's the more appropriate power shoe store chosen so the rough explain that the reason we don't is because the mid sir of Secrets is Messiah is a mitzvah of Tama Toa it's it's fulfilled through the medium of Tama Toa and therefore actually they love said that the gonna miss this question why is it that arriving open obvious chosen so the answer is because we choose not the explicit posture but one that we have to interpret through the meter shattering interventions for him through the instrumentality of toilet repair and elucidated and interpreted and therefore we choose not the explicit passion but the parsha of allah me over loving and it's clear them upset that the Mississippi design is a meet as a mixer of of Tama Toa because the in the we see that from the answer to the problem to the bank Hoffman says after Emma loci Hilton suppressor in that even after I pass the traffic calming that it's not we don't just on the story of the exceed sign of the Exodus but we tell him he'll kiss a person so stunning the laws impressive itself is part of the myths of Secrets inside and the Vilna Gaon was of the with the opinion interpreting optimal okey he'll disappear so that it doesn't mean only to teach him the laws of you know just this law a mechanical person afikoman but it means after ello he Hills a suppressor it means a Mufti and Africa South Africa means till the end of the sinners from olive pissed off from the beginning to the end aim a particular alpha oppressor - : so all hills are suppressor are integrated into the midst of series in society and the this is explicit in the toss after which is quoted by the coast Mac Mini at the end of his comments in Martha the Interceptor says hide or the Last Supper Hilton suppressor a Filipino Levin arsenal Pinole event-based so they know Levin tell medo that there's a mitzvah to an AI person upland indeed an obligation to study the laws of Meza the Filipino lovenox mo even himself my simple and Galil the hokum him shall hollywood-based by suspend xun in there was once a story of ever become allele and his colleagues come him who in the house of Isis been zoning for how you go scheme the hill Casa Tessa call her Lila at close together that they learned the laws of pacer the entire night till the crowed boom will flame for know again for half will be symmetric and from there they went to continue their learning is a base of marriage so you see that studying the health of suppressor is also integrated into the Mitzvah of CP design and therefore the love said we make a special block on this qiyam of Talmud Torah related to secrets time and that broker is the bottom of Kampala fool pollution arson toll on myself powerful so that's a special because a Torah that we find integrated to the Haggadah context of the gada and the special mitzvot of sequence in Israel so I would enter whatever said now that we see that the secret Israel represents a special Mitzvah of Tama Toa we prefer that that fulfillment comes through the halacha the Ilocos of tau should be a pair big cause until mix of there's no miss over the terms to accept the written law or the written text the scripture itself that stores your Excel you don't have you don't need amasova on that because it's myself it's written down the duel is over to treat the tradition of passing it on that's an Toa should be up here and therefore since the night of seeking sighing is the night of Misawa the night of regarded illa billah' of telling over the storm agencies mitzrayim and DBC the halacha since it's right to each person to each child based on his ability his capacity his orientation what is the hokum a tongue of russia any daily show but to everybody who's at the Seder so we wanted to be to total should be a pair Toshiba because tone-on-tone Shmi apparel is collared in my soul as opposed to throw ship itself now when he's at the sated by himself it says show L is at slow of course it's a little that needs some interpretation what does it mean he asks himself you know how is he having this conversation with himself but actually we find in Tama Toa that that possibility as well because the Rambam says that the RAM says in paragraph refers Tama Toa he says Kasim Shem it sir olive low mode as below conformance with Allah Allah made at slow the Justice is obligated to teach his son so is he obligated to teach himself so the RAM doesn't say justice is obligated to teach his son so he's also obligated to learn himself and also by the way the order is strange I'm gonna think first is obligated to learn himself so that he's know something what to give over and then he would teach his son no the Rambam begins with an application for us to teach your son and then he says and if and also you have to yourself and it doesn't say you have to study yourself you have to you have to teach yourself because the midst of Tama Toa is always a mitzvah of miss Silva of teaching it of teaching to others passing on the Messiah and indeed even in the reflexive if he hasn't had anybody who taught him he himself is obligated to learn and to teach not to learn but to teach himself so therefore we understand in terms of show Ellis at slow because we find that concept as relates to Tama Toa that show Ellis ants mo is because by Tama Toa also hives Allah made is at slow and it would seem that if he had in his ransom at the Seder his twin son would take precedence over other people each toe or others because for grandson there's also a mitzvah of Tama Toa I'm a grandfather to to give over the my soul and to teach to his grandson as the rama Baskins in the beginning Hills estimate over a shame shall hide on the lamas no cargo hide l-'alamin has been below shanem of O'Donovan fo neighbor never Justice is obligated to teach his son he's also obligated to teach his grandson and just a parallel to this about the mitzvah of CPT Smith's rhyme we find also in the midst of Krishna because creation Mahadeva many times he said the midst of Krishna also while it's an independent Mitzvah the de Vaca bond in there Tariana Mithras it's a mid-city of Iser but it's also fulfilled and linked to the midst of time at agra and this we can see for new shall me because the Shami says that a person whose tourism also was completely engaged in torah like if sunni bhai for five arrows that he's he is exempt from Krishna because of Shami says the high Sheen of the high chignon that both of them are learning so therefore the since Krishna also represents a special team of Tama Toa which is when he's engaged in creation MA and therefore the the person was to rush them not so has a special status as relates to creation and this term approve the krishma is a special mixer of Tama Toa from the fact that a vallabha is transformed into a glucose a Toa because alpha baba if a person didn't say the biggest turin in the morning if he's not sure if he said it he can fulfill that because I told them Lamar says by saying I'll forever because Alvarado is a special Mitzvah especially profitably and the unique Mitzvah of Tama Toa that's integral into the midst of creation and I just want to show this link between the midst of Kriya schmuck and the midst of CPC sorry because we know that the midst of CPC is trying is a mitzvah of Kabbalah's oMAFRA shaman accepting the unity and gods dominion over the world because it's often Oh it's often easier to accept God's Dominion over the world then took self guard dominion over each of us individually ourselves but the the brighter in the blockers and the fatality says Tanya shrimp in your high armor but didn't who she act him smile of a high young Samoa says a little more the Zelalem a that that Sh'ma comes to before I am Samoa because it has these ingredients and washes a little Mulford about the bond the cell Allah may Allah monitor my service to nation the in low Lama Sheila Hale kilometers one off so we see from Rashi that he says that the Mitzvah that DVD bathtub on which is referring also to the midst of Tama Toa so it's both the Mitzvah it's the source for the midst of the Arizer of saying Krishna but it's also the source for completar go so we see that time at Unga and krishma I'm integrated one in the other and this is undoubtedly what the law says the first Pelican in the Derman that that Maher says how does one fulfill the Mitzvah of hargeisa boy yo mama Lila that he reads the MER says coaccretion with my mind the Boca by Elif if he reads creation twice a day namely 8:00 in the morning and at night so that's the minimal that's considered pretty simple yo mama Lila that you've been involved engaged at our day and night so we see that creature is a fulfillment special fulfillment in the midst of Krishna and with that and a minimal basis one fulfills the ISA por yova Lila so if you look in the Lambo in Perak Aleph a la cabeza Prieta mom says Martinoli close pal Sushma initiation Yahoo Hashem we have our selves the Camuto show hoo-ha eco Hakadosh occult allah go that we that the first partial of schmuck takes precedence that comes first because as these three critical elements to mom says y russian ivar so the camuto accepting God's unity his singularity of or so I love of Hashem yeah after the Talmud oh sure who has eco Hakadosh or : and Talmud Torah and this is the great principle that everything else is dependent on and what the mom seems to be saying is that it has to be in other words without Tommy Tommy without the study of Torah it's impossible to have cabal so much mine because it's only through taller that we know about God and through tower we glimpse the infinite mind of Krrish powerful and therefore that's an essential ingredient in Kabbalah omikoshi mine and it's interesting the lamb mom's opinion is that all three pouches of Sh'ma our divisor the my man's opinion is that only the first possible is divisor Schmeiser Makino Schermerhorn wow she seems to say the first partial but the lamb balm says that all three pouches are divisor now the Rama is somewhat difficult because the glow seems to be explicit the my eyes discussion of the Rafa's why do they choose the partial cities for the third pasture of schwa and the God gives different suggestions why did they choose the power ship Mikado's of the pouches that could have been chosen from the layers partial according to the robber the mom says that this is on the krishma azul krishma seems that all three parties do I said that sort of a crime is soon so how could I have a suggestion why do they choose this partial why not another partial but according but the rough quoted the crime is answering that the Rambam thinks that it could have been a different posture but it had to be a posture of that included the theme of schema CGS with shrine and and in fact the crime answered you know the ask and the Wamba on the saga sorry is others is how come the ROM doesn't mention the minion amid sirs we don't find them mounting a mitzvah of schema sleaziest massage to remember the seasonal shine so the client answered that apparently the RAM doesn't count it because he said Souza's under the mid South Korea schwa it's not an independent mitzvah it's part of the middle of Korea it subtract within Krisha and therefore since he counts creation were so zoomed under that is fever City society but why indeed is he or she T sorry an essential ingredient for according to the ramen for Krishna because foolish ma when we affirm my belief in God we believe in a God not only whose distant who created the world the prime mover and then is not engaged involved anymore we believe in a God who can intimately involved in the world in human affairs and most especially through I'm you saw his chosen people so therefore that's we mentions here seats in sorry because that's the theme of GTS which I mean that God is involved with the Jewish people and with all the mankind and indeed the entire creation it's interesting if you look in the Rambam the Mamba counts a Nokia similar kefir is one of the Carioca mitzvahs the man bun disagrees from dances and no he is not a camp acanthus in the mid sir because it's just the foundation of all mixes if you don't believe in God who is the Mitsuba the commander who is the divine legislator then you can't that's the principle or the foundation of all mixes but in itself is not is not counted as a mitzvah the lamb bone in your so deity Torah does count it and the mom says your soda your so those who I would have cosmos the pit the the foundation of all foundations and the pillar of all knowledge later shisha multi-region that no that is a great a creator who mom she called him Sir and he's the creator of everything and then the rabbim says the dear stove is a myth I say and the knowledge of that ISM it's as I say Shamima a Nokia Shem Elam careful the whole Himalayan title she is a local alpha Hood s'mizza over below Cersei chinami Loyola file kima came upon our and if a person denies that he is the sole creator and the civil the Vint divine force that he's his violates no Yili for the co for the Eco and it denies this great principle he's an apostate so their food Ram says have Iike her god alloh Shakuntala go because this is the great principle that everything depends on so this language um who are Kiko Golden Circle tomboy should be reminiscent to you because that's what the RAM said also by Krishna that the reason that the first fire comes first because it has the food of a Versova town Muto - hoo-ha eco acabo shall call Tommy Bo and therefore that Mitzvah of krishma is linked to an or key because it is an affirmation also Cabos on my flesh of mine and it's interesting what is our no-fee i know here she okay I shall see from an ancestor on because that's the great principle of our faith an intimate relationship that everybody can have with God is powerful and that's what we affirm that the night of the Seder and in that intimate relationship comes to the fore not only the night of the Seder and creation but through study of Torah um and that's why it comes specifically the myths of Tama Toa now this year is a very difficult for us but I believe in Kurdish powerful enoki I should say see let's assume we know that the Jewish people in many many difficult circumstances throughout our history Karishma who has been there to hold off a dog on the milena lauhala say no but there always is a cut-off Marcelino me Adam now we're confronted by this virus and one of all of us have to have a seder you know to some degree in isolation without our children our grandchildren appearance it's a difficult time but the gums area Evora and colorful always been with us he is always with us to comfort us I once said mentioned sure and remarkably said Finkelstein told me that he had it was his teacher when I was in she was central Queens I had to teach a wonderful Rebbe his name was rabbi Pfeiffer and he told the story about how he fulfilled the hug he had a seder and the most difficult of circumstances in the Warsaw Ghetto his wife and family were killed and he rebuilt his family and so this we're not living through what happened in 1940 but things will change and things will get better you know Abraham Lincoln in 1859 he spoke it was a very difficult time this was the prelude to the civil war in an address to the Wisconsin State Agriculture said it is said an Eastern montag once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations they presented him with the words and this too shall pass away how much it expresses how chastening in the hour of pride how consoling in the depths of a political affliction the gums air yavar my son gets his today spoke and he's mentioned that in partially be despair Shabbos will win sure we would have read partial South Shabbos a girdle and the the mid-surface the beginning of south tells us that there's a mitzvah that the the line and the Miss Bayer should never go out and that's the x'mas this is mentioned specifically to be Missouri's the car the Cohanim that at night when no one is around in pitch darkness the coin should always know that he has that's his application to make sure that the light of the MS mayor doesn't go out so even in darkness the flame of the miss bath is still with us and that's what we know that even in dark times in difficult times could ash fall who was with us and therefore and the torment is always with us so even if we're completely alone schürrle saxophone he gets that the the questions to himself because while he may seem completely alone he's not really completely alone the screeners with him Karishma who is with him and next year leshawna bob you shall I'm next year with our children and grandchildren we'll celebrate with the carbon passer compressor especially is halakha that we celebrate with family it requires kabura and we know things are gonna get better so my wishes to you is that it should be even in this difficult time in this lonely time a high cost of a Sameach you should have not rest from your children and we should hopefully be able to celebrate together you know I mean yawning in our schools it may take a while this is not evaporating in the next few weeks but in time it will change and we'll all be together again [Music]
