Pesach. All right, Rabotai (my masters), just a little bit of Pesach. I love this one with a passion, and I’ll say it again. It’s an amazing one. I love it. I love it so much. We say maror; maror is bitter. We don’t lean, right? We don’t lean by the bitter. But matzah is freedom. And what do we do? We lean. So we lean because of cherut (freedom). So, one second, can I ask you a question? What do you do when you have the korech (matzah-and-maror sandwich)? You have what? You have the matzah, and you have the maror sandwiched. So, in one way, maror is bitter. The other way, matzah is freedom. So what do you do? What should you do? What’s the halacha (Jewish law)? You lean.
Why do you lean? You know what the answer is? What does the Zohar say matzah is? You’re about to eat matzah. Right now, you’re going into the Seder (Passover ritual meal), and you’re going to eat the matzah. You know what the matzah is, according to the Zohar? It’s called bread of emunah (faith). Lechem de-mehemnuta (bread of emunah). When you’re eating the matzah on Leil Seder (Seder night), you know, you’re putting it in your body. You know how people have, what’s it called? They have caffeine or something like that. They drink a coffee to get energy or something like that. You know what I’m talking about? Sometimes you need a little bit of energy or something. So you do something, you know, “Let me just get...”
So what does it say over there? It says that the bread is lechem of emunah. And therefore, that night, it’s so important to eat enough matzah. For the matzah, you have the matzah, you have the korech, you have the afikoman (final piece of matzah). Right? So you eat that matzah, you’re building emunah in yourself. And therefore, when you have the matzah, the maror that’s bitter is sandwiched into the matzah. And therefore, what do we say? We say that you have so much emunah that there’s no bitterness anymore. Even though you might feel it’s bitter, Hashem loves you so much, and He says, “Habibi, let me tell you something: There’s no bitterness anymore.” You know why? Because you have emunah. And when you have emunah, everything is sweet. Everything is awesome. Everything is good. Everything Hashem does is good.
