Huge zechus to learn with the Skokie Chevra again. The chevra there is mamesh on fire. Thank you for the opportunity to learn together! Many people can run a “perfect” Seder—and miss the point of Pesach completely. The food is right, the Haggadah is read, the divrei Torah are flowing… but the one thing that actually matters never shows up. Pesach is not just about telling a story. It’s about building Emunah. From Rosh Chodesh Nissan through the last bite of matzah, every step is engineered to shift a person from knowing about Hashem to actually seeing Him in their life. If that doesn’t happen, you didn’t actually leave Mitzrayim—you just read some history. We break down why the Haggadah barely tells the story, why “kol hamarbeh” has no ceiling, and why even the greatest chachamim have to keep returning to this avodah. Emunah isn’t another mitzvah—it’s the operating system. Without it, everything else glitches. With it, everything comes alive. Through the framework of Pesach, Matzah, and Maror, we map two core soul types—the calm and the tortured—and show how both are held together by one thing: matzah, the “bread of Emunah.” Pesach is an Emunah reset. You can clean every crumb, say every word, and still miss the point. Or—you can walk out of Pesach seeing Hashem more clearly than you did before. That’s geulah. That’s the avodah. Everything else is just prep. You can join this shiur live on Zoom every night of the week! Shiur is at 9pm Central Time in the US.

Chametz isn’t just another issur. It’s total war. Not reduced. Not managed. Not “a little is fine.” Eradicated. Even a crumb. Even a mashahu. Why? Because chametz isn’t bread — it’s a system of inflated desire. And the Torah is telling you: some forces you don’t negotiate with. You remove them completely or they own you. Look at the דור המדבר. They had מן — food with no noise, no additives, no psychological hooks. Pure nourishment. Pure kedushah. And what did they say? “Give us meat.” Not because they were hungry — because they wanted to want. They craved craving. That’s chametz: desire feeding on itself, expanding, inflating, never satisfied. The מן quieted desire. The slav amplified it. Matzah is that same reset. No puff. No expansion. No extra. Just what is. A clean break from the loop. Even Shabbos food carries a taste of מן — nourishment without the hooks that drag you deeper into physicality. All week, food fuels the body but pulls the heart with it. On Pesach, matzah cuts the strings. For a moment, you’re not chasing. You’re not inflating. You’re just free. And that’s why chametz has to go. Not trimmed — burned. Because if you don’t break the cycle, the cycle breaks you. You can join this shiur live on Zoom every night of the week!

Shabbos is not a day off. It’s a declaration of reality. Every week we repeat two truths that define everything: Hashem is the Borei Olam — He created it all — and He took us out of Mitzrayim, meaning He didn’t just create the world, He runs it, guides it, and is involved in every detail of your life. Creation is the system. Yetziyas Mitzrayim is the relationship. One tells you who built the world. The other tells you you are not alone inside it. We broke down the two layers of Shabbos. First: the number seven — the structure of creation, something even the world can recognize. But then there’s the deeper layer: Shabbos as an אות — a sign of the relationship between Hashem and Klal Yisrael. That part is ours. That’s not universal. That’s covenant. And when these two come together — creation and relationship — you don’t just observe Shabbos. You live with emunah and bitachon. That’s why the Shabbos before Pesach is called Shabbos HaGadol. Because the light of Pesach — the light of clarity, of hashgacha, of being carried — starts to enter the world. And Chazal say: if we keep two Shabbosos, we are immediately redeemed. Not just two calendar days — but these two dimensions of Shabbos fully internalized. When a Jew lives with both — understanding the system and trusting the One who runs it — that is geulah. And then we went further. You want to be an אור לגויים? Stop trying to control the world. Stop the games. Stop the noise. Build yourself into a man of real emunah and real bitachon. Become a lighthouse. Not chasing ships. Not convincing anyone. Just standing strong, rooted, lit.When the light is real — it guides on its own. But only if you maintain it. Only if your inner world is clean. Because if the emunah flickers, the light goes out. You can join this shiur live on Zoom every night of the week! Shiur is at 9pm Central Time in the US.

Shabbos HaGadol isn’t just “the Shabbos before Pesach.” It’s called Gadol because something big is demanded of you. Not information. Not inspiration. Expansion. This is the Shabbos where a Jew is pushed into הפלגת האהבה — a larger, deeper, more real relationship with Hashem. Just like Shabbos Shuvah calls you to return, Shabbos HaGadol calls you to step up into who you’re supposed to be before geulah begins. We unpacked the connection between these two Shabbosos — one rooted in teshuvah, the other in ahavah — and how both are impossible without a real foundation of emunah and bitachon. Because without that foundation, nothing holds. Not your growth, not your commitments, not your life. This episode turns into another epic rant because it needs to — we’re playing games with things that are meant to define us. I also shared how deeply I was impacted by a recent episode of the Meaningful People Podcast (linked below). Not just inspiration — a reminder that there are people actually living this. Actually taking it seriously. And that’s the call of Shabbos HaGadol:Don’t walk into Pesach the same.Don’t hear these ideas and move on.Build something real. Because if emunah isn’t real— nothing is.

The world is obsessed with maxxing. Looksmaxxing. Moneymaxxing. Statusmaxxing. Everything is about results, outcomes, optimization — squeezing life until something impressive comes out of it. And that mindset has crept into our world too. Even avodas Hashem becomes a performance: how much, how fast, how visible. But a life built only on results is a life that never actually lives. On the other side, the eastern idea of cultivation says be present, refine yourself, and work the soil of the moment. No obsession with outcome — just steady becoming. And Torah stands right in the middle. Not blind optimization. Not passive drifting. But directed growth with purpose — פעולה עם נשמה. Pesach is where this becomes real. Before geulah, there is teshuvah — not surface-level cleanup, but admitting how often we let the ra run the system. The process begins with something strange: bringing the seh, the lamb — the Egyptian god — into your home. You don’t run from it. You confront it. You live with it. And then you slaughter it. And then comes chametz. Chametz is not just crumbs. It is taavah — desire, expansion, the part of you that wants more, pushes more, consumes more. For seven days, you remove it completely. But then what? You go back to it. Bread returns. Life returns. So the real avodah is not just removing chametz. It’s learning how to return to it without being owned by it. Because if you don’t transform your relationship with chametz, you will leave Pesach clean — and walk right back into the same chains. Pesach is not escape. It’s training. Leave Mitzrayim. And learn how to live free. You can join this shiur live on Zoom every night of the week! Shiur is at 9pm Central Time in the US.

Before Pesach even begins, the Torah hands us a unique assignment: Bedikas Chametz. A search. In the dark. With a candle. Because before geulah can begin, a Yid has to go looking. Chametz is not just crumbs in the cabinet. It is the roots of ra hiding in the heart. Some of it is obvious—the man who denies Hashem, the rich ingrate who crowns himself god. But the more dangerous chametz is the quiet kind. The buried root. The darkness that never surfaced because life never pressed hard enough to reveal it. Even a good man — even a tzadik — can carry hidden rot if he never goes looking for it. Pesach begins with a warning: what you don’t search for will stay. Bedikas Chametz teaches a brutal truth. Evil rarely announces itself. It hides in corners, under floorboards, behind habits we call “normal.” The avodah is not just to remove what is obvious—it is to hunt the subtle poison before it spreads. The candle is small, the night is quiet, and the work is personal. Tonight we began the search. Tomorrow, we go deeper. You can join this shiur live on Zoom every night of the week!

Pesach is not just a story about leaving Egypt. It is the moment the Jewish people learned the most dangerous and powerful weapon a human being can carry: emunah. Before the sea split. Before the plagues. Before freedom. There was “ויאמן העם” — the people believed. If you want to understand Pesach… If you want to understand Yetziyas Mitzrayim… If you want to understand the redemption still coming… You have to understand emunah.

Halacha forces us to begin the Seder with gnus — with disgrace, with slavery, with the lowest point. Why? Because the opening line of our story is not our greatness. It’s this: Hashem chose us at our worst. Not after teshuvah. Not after we cleaned ourselves up. In the 49th level of tumah, He said: בני בכורי ישראל. If He had waited for us to become worthy, then His love would be conditional. But halacha itself testifies: it isn’t. That’s the foundation of everything — unconditional אהבה. And if a person says otherwise it’s sheker. The outside world runs on conditions: perform, produce, optimize, earn your place. You’re only as valuable as your output, your label, your image. And we become slaves to it — to jobs, to status, to culture, to the noise that tells us who we’re allowed to be. But Yetzias Mitzrayim broke that system forever. We were slaves — and then we weren’t. And once a Jew is freed by Hashem, he can never truly be enslaved again… unless he agrees to it. You can be pressured, pushed, even controlled — but your identity is untouchable. Because you already know the truth:You were chosen before you were worthy. Loved before you were clean. Freed before you knew how to walk. That’s not inspiration. That’s reality. And once you live with that—No system gets to own you again. You can join this shiur live on Zoom every night of the week!

Transformation isn’t plain self-improvement. It’s becoming someone new. In this episode we break open a radical idea: a person can cross a line and emerge as a completely different being — like a ger who wasn’t Jewish and becomes fully part of Klal Yisrael. That change isn’t cosmetic. It’s not habits and hacks. It’s a total identity shift. And the Torah shows us the mechanism: קבלת מצוות, מילה, וטבילה — acceptance, cutting away, and immersion. Three moves that dissolve the old self and build a new one. Chametz is the opposite. It’s the glue trap of ordinary life — routines, cravings, autopilot habits that keep you stuck in the same version of yourself. You wake up, you move, you think, you react — and nothing changes. Pesach comes to shatter that loop. Just like Klal Yisrael in Mitzrayim, you don’t slowly optimize your way out. You jump systems. You accept the mitzvos, you cut away what doesn’t belong, and you immerse yourself in something bigger than you — falling into the hands of Hashem with emunah and bitachon. Every generation, every person, has a personal Mitzrayim. A pressure point. A crisis. The way out isn’t more control — it’s surrender to truth. Not partial change. Not “a little better.” Total transformation. Like a ger. Like a nation reborn. Chametz keeps you stuck. The Emunah we build on Pesach is the door. Walk through it — and don’t come back the same.

The Ten Makkos are not just a dramatic story in the Haggadah. They are a surgical strike on the illusion that the world runs by itself. In this shiur we explore how the plagues were a carefully constructed system designed to rebuild emunah in a people who had become spiritually numb inside Egypt. When Rav Yehudah compresses the plagues into the famous siman דצ״ך עד״ש באח״ב, he isn’t just helping children remember the order, he is revealing the map of reality itself: every realm of existence, from earth to water to sky to life itself, is under the absolute control of Hashem. And the real target may not have been Egypt. It may have been us. After generations inside Mitzrayim, the Jewish people had become מגושם, absorbed, in the physical world and its apparent rules. The makkos shattered that illusion one strike at a time, showing that nature is not a closed system but a tool in the hands of the Creator. And so it is for us all in every generation. A lesson to return to the true understanding and faith in Hashem. Pesach isn’t about remembering miracles. It’s about rebuilding the emunah that those miracles were meant to awaken.
