Pesach

Description

The second part of a special ma'amar from Rav Avraham Tzvi Kluger, 'Kulei (Completely) Matzah', on Pesach. It is very difficult to really give over everything to Hashem, and not rely on knowing what will be in the future. The need to be in control of life, and for life to be predictable is the shibud (slavery) of Mitzrayim. On Pesach, we can access that power to not be worried about the future. The Seder is about temimus and pashtus (simplicity). There is also a shibud of ruchanius (spirituality) that a person can become stuck in. The matzah frees us from wanting life to be the way we think it should be. Matzah is right now. We need to have the bitachon (trust) that everything on Seder night is exactly how Hashem wants it. Be b'simcha (happy) with your matzah.
