Description

This incredible story about the desire of two Jews in the death camp of Auschwitz to eat a minimal amount of Matzah on the night of Pesach will teach us about the invaluable significance of a Mitzva and its reward. If only we will take the message of this story to heart and grab on to the infinite opportunities that come our way to do chessed and mitzvot. In the last part of this shmooze we will share stories about the Ponivisher Rav, the Chofetz Chaim & Chazon Ish. The courage of Moshe to enter into Pharoh's chambers. From the Midrash regarding Korach will learn the power of a story, and we must re-tell the story of Yetziat Mitzrayim annually and transport ourselves to a different time & place. The modesty of the Jewish women in Mitzrayim.
