Machshava:

Pesach 

Description

Presentation of 3 ideas addressing 3 questions: (1) What is the benefit of beginning the story of leaving Egypt with our disgrace? (2) Why does the Torah emphasize the month of Nisan in discussing Pesach, and why does a midrash cited in the Haggadah think there would be value in telling the story of the Exodus on Rosh Chodesh Nisan? (3) What is the connection between Gidon and our Seder? (Ideas 1 and 3 also appear in standalone audio recordings on YUTorah.)
