Description

Rav Rubenstein (27 min mark): Why is the 'Ben Tzaddik' missing from the Seder table? How Purim completes the Pesach Seder be revealing that true freedom is being a 'Ben' to Hashem, not merely an 'Eved', and being a Ben means knowing that Hashem wants us to ask from Him. How we learn this from the Ben Rasha, who brings us "Tzafon" and into the "Ginzei HaMelech". Rav Weinberg (1:19): From Halacha we perceive Penimiyus. Falling asleep while eating the Afikoman brings us to the deep sleep known as the "Tardaima" which brought us into Galus Mitzrayim. Although we continue to sleep in Galus there is still a spark of life which is always awake, "Ani Yesheina V'Libi Eir". How we see this from the Rambam's understanding of the last passage in Pesach
