roses Nissan every day of Nissan they say Nissan isim every day is like a roses every day has a certain power to it it's not like a regular day this is a day of change it's a day of power we could bring mashiach today so I I'd like to start with saying um a capital to hilum out loud and let's really together in the K ofos in the K of Li Torah in the K ofes think about each and every one of those each and every one of those each and every family that has been affected Kus who is at an aara that is unprecedented not only here but in the world that Hashem should just ring the Gula like uh enough is enough we'll do together Capital KU K Alf otherwise known as one 12 one so I'm sure you know it by heart because we've been saying it for the last unfortunately 6 months who count and uh you may have it on your phones or in a book or whatever uh things you use we'll say it [Music] together is yes ma'am roses is for women roses Nan has its own power in terms of this is so this is the time when the came down and this is the time when can continue to come down women are the of GA to bring sh down we just have to tap into it like I woke up this morning and I said when is it going to happen like that that was my first thought you know like you just feel it in the air okay you didn't need to hear my morning U musings that was an alliteration morning musics which is part of the title on that book which is a mustre 15 morning Bros and I will say is that this is the time that if we've been I can't do it I've tried take on a project learn with a Kusa learn with a group of friends the birak is a great book to learn together it's on sale outside you want to did everyone hear what she said a little bit louder yeah so I highly recommend it it's on sale outside for not an extra price you can have it signed and in a few years time on eBay you could sell the signature and get your money back with uh with dividends okay for those of you who have never met me before you take me only half seriously which half that you have to figure out let's begin my friends we're not here to hear about smiles were're here here about life and I wasted a lot of time but I didn't waste time at all so let's start zir till what time do I have to go so I know exactly 10:20 great okay we're going to learn together one part of the hag which is clear from the uh title Dano now here's the challenge in Dano and I'm going to tell you we all face the same challenge we have the arami oi section which is the key part of the ha where we daring out theim from Mr farmer that he says when he brings the Bim most of us have no clue of what those darting are all about blah it's a little bit dry we get to the es MOS that's very gets very exciting Ros G says there'll be more maos on on on the water you're trying to figure out the math you've had too much wine or grape juice to drink and it's getting a little bit tiring and then we get to diu and what happens in diu we begin to sing D I'm not singing Don't R it right and we singing it in your head and we go through right and then and we run through all the 15 levels and we feel great what we don't really do with Dau is to stop and actually what experience we just feel like oh this is a song Let Me enjoy it and you should but we lose out on its message and meaning and that's what we're here today to try to understand so we understand that the PE I mean Source number three because I can't read Source number two the PO was incorporated as a supplement to the central to expand our expression of gratitude Beyond Redemption from to include other that hasem has performed for us the 15 level of kindnesses listed here were a continual chain of goodness that Hashem bestowed upon us as a people beginning with the and ending with the B mdash I didn't bring danu here because it's something I am sure we are all what familiar with you can go home I'm not looking at the specifics I want to look at the overall picture and I want to raise a number of questions on danu the way we begin danu in the Hebrews in Source number three alenu now the way many people translate it continuing in three the omnip Omni has bestowed so many favors upon us what word means favors really that's what my means favors yeah yeah so so higher steps so where do you get favors I don't know either but that's how we translate it we translate it as how many kindnesses and favors Hashem does for us a better translation look our first question is how do you translate the word Malo that's the first question then let's go back into the phrase here Malu now we've been translating it has bestowed upon us is that what the word lakom means no let's take a look in Source number four why do we say lakom which means to Hashem we should say from to us and if we're the references or levels of kindness butow toward us Source five the wording should have been lanu to us not alenu upon us so basically that whole line in simple English makes what no sense okay we got that why doesn't make sense is irrelevant just understand that it makes no sense the Milos toos L alen makes no sense our next question what is the meaning continuing five the word danu said at the end of every line it means it seems to be saying that this would have been enough for us in terms of our national well-being and development and that's how we translate it had Hashem only done this for us then what Dau it would have been enough and then you get the famous V how he take us to our C9 they give us the Torah it's like going to perfume Factory and we get the smell of Torah like how could it be we get to the Torah we get heart now we don't get the Torah makes no sense but can we really say this how can we say the hm had taken us out of Egypt not give us the shabas or Torah it would have been enough apparently oh Hashem who gave them to us and demanded their full observant felt it would not have been enough so danu does not mean it would have been enough okay so now that I understand say say it what oh go good so now you're answering it but then I take away my job so if they pay you instead of me then you can step you're doing great yes before we sing this is the opening line it's in Source number one where I did quote a little bit of danu thank you for asking this is the opening line of danu and then had he brought us out of Egypt and not executed judgment for the Egyptians it would have sufficed for sufficed us now the last question we need to understand is why they're 15 what is significance of 15 kindnesses levels steps uh good good good good good okay so my friends in basic English the opening phrase makes no sense danu makes no sense what is it doing here and why 15 want add sure a question would it have been enough very nice would it have been enough it gets to really think about it would it have been enough good I like it I like it good accept it my friends this is what I'd like to do if I were just to teach about danu today I feel I would have being neglecting your your hours worth of uh of time here Dau is coming at the end of mid right before the hallo section of mid it is the culmination and the preparation for the height of the Seder and therefore what danu has in it are the key components of what the Seder night is about so I'd like to briefly very briefly do is to speak about the two essential themes of Magid the goal of the night then see how on two l Dau fits into both of these constructs and then end with the third level which is a combination of both so all together how many levels will we have three good I'm glad somebody is following me here and if we can turn off our our phones rev kuger Source six I theme number one of Sedar Knight some things in life are visible and clearly perceptible to us our body we can see we can hear we have visible things this is a table I can feel it this is a chair thank God it's holding me right there are certain things that are concrete these facts are distinct and tangible to us there are other truths in life that although there are basic realities are not so obvious and perceptible the fact that Hashem renews the world and sustains us at every moment that parnasa is from Hashem and that whatever happens in the world is from Hashem are truths that we know and believe but are nevertheless not obvious and tangible this is called Hester or concealment in this world godliness is concealed from us and not perceptible like the physical world around us and that's the world we live in the outside world is clear the spiritual world is a bit of a now watch this this is the key line for today the p in par describes the first night of PES it is a watch night Al sharim for hasem to take them out of the land of MIM here's the key two words this night Hala is hashem's watching all the sons of Israel throughout their generation there seems to be like a contradiction within this phrase Lila is darkness is lack of clarity throughout is something that you can point to and see with Clarity we just Hades right is something you can point to which mean exactly no they were able to point to God that's what the medish says exactly that was a good example the first night of PES it's called this night night symbolize Hester blurriness the Sater night is this night the bottom of 7B and the night of the concealed truth of the world or the night of the world became so clear and visible it could almost be pointed with a finger look everything is godliness here is the creator who runs the world and that's why we say in the S night Hashem comes down and nobody else it is a night where you had that Clarity that Hashem is in control in fact in the arrow in eight David describes the night of pesak as laa it is a night that is enlightened like the day it's bright as day what happened right exactly the inspiration of that revelation of divinity returns every year on the night of and every is only recited by day and sat or night we say it at night twice because it is a KN that is not night it's a night that is day and now I can appreciate Hala when it should be Hala because tonight is Hala tonight is the night of Z and I'm trying to understand what is it that tonight is the night of such clarity as we sit around the Seder table recounting the Miracles of we can connect to the wonderful Godly revelation of that time and make hashem's existence a basic tangible reality in our hearts idea number one that is the goal of seder night is we come closer to Hashem with Clarity of vision that's why we end the satate we can be singing here the whole day right the goal of the night is that I feel I know I sense and that's why I'll just add here parenthetically I've said over the years my favorite hagadas are hagadas that have stories in it I like better the first of Rabbi Spiros touched by AER Rabbi pransky night of watching why I like these hagadas is not only do they have vs they have stories and I feel it's a real imperative during the meal instead of talking about oh I don't think there's anything on the table to talk about this year it seems pretty we had really quiet year this year to to tell stories of what you could tell your own family stories of right when my mother-in-law she live in Buell she's 93 Kara when she would be biased for PES seder she would always tell during the meal what it was like to be in France during the war concentration camp being saved right to to but to bring it home to tell stories where the people at your seder will walk away with that that feeling that Hashem really what is here is present that's the goal of the night and that's the goal it's not in vort it's Mar in bringing auna into our lives and that's why we said the Mitzvah is a fascinating Mitzvah because most of our children know the Mitzvah the story try better than I do right they've had much better teachers than I had so I'm going to tell them the story yes because I'm telling them from my perspective of life and I've experienced Hashem in ways over my life that they can't even possibly understand am I making sense yeah the second idea because we have to fly here the second idea is in Source 10 let's do the second paragraph here the second goal of the night on the did I lose you second paragraph and 10 second paragraph and did you ever wonder what's the connection between I am the Lord your God who took you out of Egypt and from the bondage of slave House of slavery I am the Lord your God and because I took you out out therefore asak otherwise so hard to translate gratitude indebtedness thank you how'd you know yes do I sound it um you have uh um we are obligated to serve the re bonus toolum and that's what the Mitzvah are all about I'm not doing it because I have to do it I'm doing it because I feel indebted to youh 11 how do you feel this through telling all the different parts of the story when you go into details you feel more indebted oh thanks a lot for all that you've done it's different than thank you so much for picking me up and going shopping with me and carrying my groceries home and putting them away do you feel the difference I mean it's like night and day the more details you offer the more it becomes a much more genuine type of gratitude you know I I hate when I get thank you notes where they write thank you so much what are you thanking me for I don't know just thank you so much when they say thank you so much for and they say the gift and we are going to use it at wow you really appreciated what my purchase the greatest one was recently I got an email thank you so much for your gift and for joining our Sim I wasn't at the Sim and I didn't give a gift Source 12 but thanks anyway you know really the two come together and that is in the bracket 12 it's under 10 your amuna is going to grow the more you feel connected to Hashem when I feel all that Hashem has done for me in my life when I'm able to focus in on all the kindnesses when I'm able to really look at the story and see step after step how Hashem was there holding our hands and helping us all of this helps me be able to have a deeper more meaningful relationship with Hashem so the two goals of the night that we have to try to experience and they're really interconnected is one a deeper richer understanding of hashem's existence and two deeper gratitude for all that Hashem has done with this in mind now let's get back to Dio on the bottom left of this page Des Darkness to Destiny Rabbi Bernstein these questions cause certain com commentators to explain the intent of the song somewhat differently here goes for each and every level of kindness that Hashem bestowed upon us there is a corresponding level of expressing gratitude L towards Hashem which is ALU incumbent upon us for every level that asem has given me I have l a responsibility to say thank you there's a profound message here with regards to the concept of gratitude even if the kindness in 14 bestowed upon the person of the process that includes many stages he should not wait until the process is over before saying thank you rather each and every stage is deserving of one's gratitude and really as R pansky Points out a night of watching in 16 I'm on the next page Source 16 for most people the more more someone is a presence in their lives helping them out and caring for them in a wide variety of ways the less the person is likely to think about the many specific acts of kindness the person performs to them and the greatest example of that are children to parents 99.9% of children do not walk home every day and say oh Mommy thank you so much for doing the dishes and for washing the floor and for doing my clothes and for ironing my clothes and for making lunch and maybe when they get married they say oh Mom thanks for everything you've done for me if we're lucky right why because it's a given that's mommy's job you know it's like the kid who's asked what does your mom do all day nothing she sits home and does nothing all day right that's that's a good demonstration and everything just happens if this is true of our sense of gratitude to our parents how much more so is it true for our gratitude toward Hashem whose continuous acts of incredible kindness seem to just happen he created us with great compassion and wisdom provides everything we need from to the to live heals us from sickness sustains the world around us we lump it all together in a general moding of G explains bag's teaching trying at this point in Sor to help us shake off that mindless attitude of hashem's kindness by detailing all the incredible things he has done for us since he took us as a nation we experienc a multitude of specific expressions of hashem's infinite love and instill ourselves the great gift of gratitude with the word danu we recognize that in truth Hashem is not required to give us anything therefore had he not given us even one of the thank you I'm glad you're listening therefore had he given us even one of the many benefits that we have we should feel Dau it would have been enough and this in 18 is the way raas yahu explains from the malam this is the precursor to H in order to really get into you have to feel excited to just feel excited he took us out of Egypt it's nice but when you start thinking and that's where I began with where we get caught up where we we start singing Dau and we stop thinking yes Ritson yeah good are you promoting the book again there's a book available for sale yes that's it that's it that's it that's it but both say work with me here because I'm running out of time I haven't even began 19 that is what Mal means says the malim ma means to praise how much praise is incumbent upon me to give to Hashem that's what Dano is about it's not about how much Hashem has done for me but how much I need to do for him do you see how the whole night shifts and that my friends getting back to what the reiton said in 21 this is a just like and you see at me triim we have to appreciate all the details of Our Lives likewise a person has to appreciate all that Hashem has done for him he quotes in the bracket in 21 Abraham your you rubbit why do we find people who aren't happy the reason is because they live with the feeling of Mia they have this feeling of entitlement I deserve more why didn't I get this why didn't I get that and if you have that feeling of I should have gotten that and I was deserving of this then you will never be happy if you have a feeling of Dau thank you Hashem I don't really deserve anything and whatever you give me I'm going to praise you and I'm going to acknowledge so then you're always going to be filled with what with happiness and joy as Rabbi K bound says similarly in the asteris and 23 every person in his own situation has to contemplate the many blessings in his life and derive Joy from them we have to recognize that Hashem does not owe us anything we start from zero every good thing we have is a gift from him a person who adopts his attitude will stop viewing himself as a person who suffers and begin to view himself as a person as IM innumerable gifts and blessings as well as some difficulties there's a m that's brought in a number of the hagas of of of ID who was very into as many of you Shar into his matsas he would go to the field and be with them when they cut the wheat for for the matah I'm talking about like all nine yards and these people would bake their matzas as many people do today AR of PES yeah and he had his matzas on a top shelf these were he went out for a short while and his grandchildren came in and they were normal grandchildren and things went flying and among the things that went flying was the and they came crashing down at that moment there was like I think terror is the best they were frozen they realized that this was what this was this is bad news and that moment he walks in and he immediately apprises the situation it wasn't hard like and this is what he said he turned to the Reon Shum and he said Hashem I have to thank you not everyone gets married not everyone who gets married has children not everyone who gets married have children who get married and even if they get married not all of them have children for me to have been blessed with children and grandchildren is a blessing I want to thank you hasem for all the blessings in my life my friends this is such a different mindset Dau let's not focus on what we don't have let's focus on the blessings in our lives so idea number one for the night of pesak is the idea of being able to show appreciation to show appreciation in a detailed way to focus on all the blessings we have in our lives and Dau for each and everything that I got it is incumbent upon me to say thank you I don't walk around feeling like that's all you've given me that's it where's the rest Dio the second idea of amuna there's a new hag that came out this year called ruen Feinstein on the hag I'm on the next page it says for Ru Feinstein on the it says 26 it looks like a 25 I don't know what it looks like Dau is not about declaring that we did not need Hashem to do these kindnesses for us of course we needed them all we are obligated to find Hashem and believe in him the same way AB Vu did we thank Hashem that he made it e so easy for us to do that by affording us a history rich with his Providence thus Dau is really about declaring here's the key that even if Hashem had not to continue to reveal himself to us openly again and again we would still have sufficient evidence of his Providence to believe in him forever and it's also about thanking him for relating with us so openly that we can more easily recognize him and relate to him let me explain this we have an obligation to know Hashem we similar to AB ainu would have to go to all lengths of the earth to be able to have that relationship and knowledge of Hashem but you know what Hashem did for us he did us a TAA instead of making it so hard he mamish what laid it out for us and that's let's give examples 29 how he take it set of Egypt it would have been enough for us to experience if Hashem would have redeemed kly Israel from Egypt that occurrence alone would have served to demonstrate to us that there's AEM in the world who acts in our best interest that alone is worth worthy to sayu that we would know and acknowledge God ah but you also what you also destroyed their God and I learn about the Mida ConEd Mida measure for measure the way you work in this world wow that you did all of this any one of these things would have been sufficient with out going Beyond To Know Your Existence Hashem which means that our obligation is to look at all 15 Steps and to see how they are keys in being able to see different aspects and manifestation of Hashem in our lives so for yeah the same way that these are revealed yes that's it that that's the message that always Hashem is present and he gives us ways of Revelation yeah no 100% 100% And we have to be able to yeah 100% that's the idea for example to give one example of the man he didn't have to give us the man we could have survived on whatever food in the desert why does he give us the man to teach us this idea a mar the M Loi everyone gets exactly what they need that Hashem Is Watching Over Us Down To Thee thank you hashm for giving us that lesson thank you Hashem for making it so clear that you're so intimately involved in my life on this level my friends we can appreciate which I'm I'm I'm I'm alluding to I'm not doing it inside to 35 the idea these two ideas of auna and a carto so I look at Dau and I say Dau thank you for each and everything I have to give thanks I don't take anything for granted I look ATU thank you Hashem for each level it allows me to get to know you closer again my obligation to Hashem in terms of finding him and having relationship with him that's my responsibility that's matah and the araos we've spoken about this over the years the schad the three matsos correspond to the AOS kosim and the four cups of wine correspond to the imos and there's correlations the most classic is the fourth cup is Leu the fourth cup is the Hal and Leia is a p it's giving thanks which is Bening it's so not doing it I just did it but I'm not doing anymore it's hard to hold myself back sometimes I work on it m is that's the it's Clarity it's mat is called the bread of faith when I eat the matah I focus I know the sh exists we spoke about last week when we eat the matah to feel like that newborn child being held by Hashem that we're completely in hashem's Embrace he's carrying us he's holding us the wine what is wine and we know the wine has to be red wine better right because that's the blood Force it's giving thanks it's appreciation and that's the job of the mother the emotions the passion that's what the mother brings into the relationship and that's what the night is about and sinkus says we have the arossos throughout the night maty eat at one time the cups of wine are throughout because the emotions of the night have did I lose you you have mat at the meal the war you have a kidish the middle of ha after benching at the end of the Seder it's really divided throughout right that's just one unique time middle of the S meal is because passion has to really permeate the entirety of our being yes ma'am interesting because yeah it's the same idea because it brings you to this ecstasy and passion and and while the coin has to have the clarity of mind we need to have the Pion he doesn't need that to get there we need that yeah you're telling don't right well my friends let's uh let let's let's come together here for the third level which is very powerful to to to move us into the third level there's a a story that only living in AR value can really appreciate of a fellow talking about drinking who drank a little bit too much in perum and he's driving and a police officer stops him and says um I think you're a little bit um inated is a good word he said you know what I I am I did drink a little bit too much but I'm telling you police officer I'm driving where straight home I'm just going straight home so don't give me points just give me two on your checkle fine and I'm going to go straight home okay few minutes later he continues driving gets pulled over again I think you're a little but look I'm driving straight home give me uh the fourth time he says to the police officer you guys have nothing better to do than to stop people along the road the police officer says look for another 200 check Els I will help you get out of this traffic circle that you've been in for the last 20 minutes my friends that is a good description of Our Lives we're driving home in traffic circles and then we wonder why we've reached where nowhere as was mentioned in 34 which you can't even read so don't even try maalot comes from steps these are 15 Steps for us to get closer to Hashem yeah once I understand that I have auna and I have a Caro that then needs to lead me I don't know if that was English I tried to a state of my AEM different just to feel auna and to feel a car to and I don't allow it to impact me G to shelin which I can't translate traffic circle you get nowhere we know the rvan 36 in his commentary on the PES he states that these 15 levels of favor correspond to the 15 Steps in the B of mikdash that stand from the woman's Courtyard Ezra nashim to the man's Courtyard ezrael they also correspond that was mentioned to the 15 shos inum and during the festive ceremony OFA the levim stood on these step steps and sang we also know in the bracket in 36 that Hashem created the world with the letters yud and hey hasem for in yud K Hashem is the strength of the worlda was created with the letter Y was created with the letter he the maharal in 38 adds the reason Hashem created the universe with the same y possessing numerical value of 15 is to teach us that the world contains 15 levels represented by the name yud he every Jew must ascend from the lowermost level to the uppermost level the fifth 15 Steps the B mdash represent these 15 levels it's about moving to levels of kadus and that's what danu is about in 39 I start Shu I start tonight leaving Egypt which is level number one and I need to ascend until where bash to the level of Tara to level of Purity the night of pesak is reminding me that tonight on whatever small level it is I need to move in my own life in whatever small area that I have to extricate myself from my narrowness in whether it's in a Mida it's in a Mitzvah in whatever area that I can be able to move forward that I can build a mini Bas mikdash in place of where there was tumor change needs to happen that's the goal of the night and that's what rusel says if you wake up the next morning and you were the same person as the day before you've what you've missed the boat this explains a an idea that we saw last week that now has a deeper meaning to this last week we spoke about the I'm in 41 and 42 we spoke about the tuman that the night of P the Jewish people Shing were carried on Eagle wings to the Haram Maria to have the Kuran PES there but now my friends we and then BR back we understand it on a deeper level that in the bracket was a symbolic act for all generation and every PES night Hashem would Elevate Israel to the Supreme spiritual level the kadha the mdash that's us what when on the night of pesak literally they went from to where to the place of the B mikdash that happens to us every Sater night and that's how the Tio explains that the PK says Matel shall be eaten in a holy place in the courtyard of the Alo shall they eat it and the asteris and second asteris and 42 on every pesak night every Jew must achieve a level of kadha tantamount to the kadus of the B mikdash thus when he consumes the Matas he be fulfilling the requirement in a holy place in the courtyard of the whole all mo they shall eat it he draws a comparison from the of the commentary of the tarum Yan that's our mindset that we're not just eating Matas we're eating matzas in a holy place now we'll add we could add a lot that 15 is also found in another number on Sater night and that is the 15 Kadesh are also 15 and there are spim that link the two the most obvious linkage is the last one N I told you we could single day today and building the that the two 15s are linked We Begin this Sater let's take a look in 44 oh don't do this to me um this coincides wonderfully with the notion that the author of The God That formulated the 15 seon to correspond to 15 levels and acts of divine favor he intended to teach us that just on this holy nightes elevates us to all 15 levels and stages from the bottom to the top even though not yet worthy therefore begin the Seder by reciting these 15 SE money they represent our requests that we be elevated through all 15 levels on this special night we conclude the recounting of the events of by enumerating the 15 Divine acts of favor that Hashem performed on our behalf the night is bookmarked by these 15 my friends I want to I want to share on this level what I believe Dau is about and this will be our final idea to take home with us today there's a beautiful story that Rabbi spirro tells it's a story of a RV in an organization called Le sha which is I have no idea what it is but it was a a speech to rim and and the rabbi who spoke at this convention cried the entire time he told this story listen to the story the story is told by rashish Shiva who had a go fundrais in America you've heard of such a concept it was his first time ever doing this and he was in New York and he and had a tell me drive him around and they had a bottle of water with them and uh they're driving and it was very hot and the water ran out and they wanted to buy some more water so they stopped at a a gas station and the only place to buy water was at a non kosher restaurant I'm not talking here they felt the way they were dressed it was what it was in appropriate so they the the town made called up a friend and said you know is there any place we can just get you know something to drink something to eat you know he said you know what there is a a Jewish Community like 101 15 minutes away they have a kosher store there you can eat something he said great so they uh they go to this kosher store and they pick up whatever they want to eat and they go to pay and the cashier is a young boy in his 20s who you could I don't have to tell you how you can tell so don't ask me you could tell that he was from but Holding On by whatat a threat how you can tell we could discuss another time the boy looks at this Rabbi the rabbi looks at this boy as if there's what a familiarity and they can't place it and they buy it and they sit down to eat and the boy comes over to the rabbi and says can I ask you what your name is so the rabbi tells him his name he said I was a student of yours he says what's your name Usher Usher you were my best tmid do you remember when you asked those three bom kasas a bom Kasha means like a question you can't even like wow did I even wrote them down in my notebook and the boy started to cry how come you never told me then that they were bomb kasas and that you wrote them down in my notebook had you told me that I
