Freedom Matzah & Healing 



It is heartwarming to see families around the globe coming together, celebrating the Passover - Pesach Seders. Witnessing the golden chain of Jewish continuity, from generation to generation. It is beautiful, uplifting and inspiring.

In Lekutei Torah - Tzav- the Alter Rebbe explains the power of Matzoh. The Talmud teaches us that “a baby does not know how to call it’s Father until the baby tastes the taste of grain”. By eating grain, the baby develops an inner connection with it’s father.

Like a baby who feels connected to it’s father despite not understanding the reason, so too does the Matzah cause a Jew to connect to G-d. Every Jew is holy and beautiful and every Jew feels unconditionally and forever connected to our loving Father In Heaven. This is the power of eating Matzah. 

Happiness is an integral part of Passover. Moadim L’simcha. Happiness is when one  develops  an appreciation for what they have. This is the feminine power of Binah. Understanding and appreciating. Like a mother who develops the fetus into a fully developed and healthy baby. 

At the Seder we also eat the bitter herbs. Moror. The Alter Rebbe points out that the Hebrew numerical value of Moror is 446. The same number as the Hebrew word for death which is Mavet 446.

Because bitterness in life comes from living a dead life. Void of purpose and meaning. To be happy, we must remove the source of bitterness, the vanity and superficiality of the physical world. A meaningless existence. 

When Moshiach comes there will be no more bitterness. No more death. Because the world will be filled with the beauty and happiness of true purpose and meaning. 


These ideas give us motivation and  
Inspiration!


Matzah gives us faith and on the second night of Passover, matzo gives us healing. Pesach empowers us to begenuinely happy and healthy, a life of purpose and meaning. 

Never resign your future to past mistakes. 
Never underestimate your potential. We can always begin a new path. A newsuccessful journey. This Passover set yourself free and you’ll feel how you and the Creator are united as one. 

Leave the bitter tears behind. Your life is waiting for you to enjoy it and celebrate it as a Jew!




3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:



1) In the Haggadah we say that we and our forefathers were liberated. Because the liberation of Egypt was not just geographical, rather it was on the deepest levels of our Soul and our Psychological existence. The exodus of Egypt forever freed every Jew from being a slave to any form of slavery. 

Nobody can subjugate you to any slavery which distracts or harms your eternal beauty of being the Ambassador of G-d. Recognize and celebrate your Jewish identity, you are a treasure filled with goodness. Share your inner beauty with the world.



2) Passover is the holiday of our freedom. Liberation is when you free yourself from all limitations and inhibitions. When you pursue your dreams and your full potential, courageously and resiliently. Freedom is when you continue to triumphantly march forward with your head held high, in the face of challenges. 

Eventually you will realize that you successfully left Egypt and now you are living in the promised land, in freedom and happiness


3) We all have a child within ourselves. The Jewish people are called the children of G-d. Your inner child is thirsty for positive growth and success. On Passover we dedicate the Seders to the children. Youth is not measured by age but by spirit. It is our spirit which defines our quality of life. 

Don’t experience life as an observer, be an active player and you will be on the winning side. We leave Egypt every day and every moment. Every step of growth and improvement is a Passover moment. 

Passover means to jump over the rocks, obstacles and boulders of life. Discover the spark of Moshiach with in yourself. You were born for greatness. There is no better time than today and there’s nobody better for you than yourself. 

A Kosher and a Happy Pesach

  Click Here: Chabad Inspiration Motivation Destiny & Challenges  Hi Wishing you Gut Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom Candle Lighting January 1 - 17 Teves NY Metro 4:18pm Did you ever wonder: What does it mean to bless G-d? Does He need anything? What can we give Him which He does not have? Chabad philosophy explains that the Creator voluntarily chose to need your input in order to achieve His plan of creation.  Only you alone can chose to welcome the Creator as a partner in your personal life. If the Creator only forces His way in to your life then His goal is not achieved.  The first two Hebrew words of almost all blessings is “Boruch Atah. Blessed are you. “ The word “You” refers to the pure essence of the Creator. To “Bless” means to draw down. To bring it down to our level. To welcome our loving Father in Heaven into our worldly reality.  Adam and Eve were given the most incredible gift of importance, significance and meaning:  Their behavior and the behavi...

Self help books and coaching are popular. Yet despite the abundance of advice and tips, many people find it challenging to reach this goal.  In Lekutei Torah - Re’ei- the Alter Rebbe explains that even if your mind has all the wisdom and knowledge but we fail to have “Bitul” Submission to the higher truth of the Creator of of all existence, then the wisdom, inspiration and passion will fade and dissipate.  As long as a person is self centered and refuses to submit to the higher truth of existence, then a person will remain trapped and stuck. But on the other hand, when a person embraces our loving Father in Heaven, then their wisdom, inspiration and passion will raise them t...

Click Here: Chabad Inspiration Hi Wishing you Gut Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom! Candle Lighting July 14 - Tamuz 25 Metro New York 8:08pm Journeys Circles & Success People enjoy traveling. Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world. From hotels to airlines, from restaurants to photography, vacation travel is an opportunity of rejuvenating and relaxing.  In Lekutei Torah -Masei- the Alter Rebbe explains the importance of the Jewish people traveling to 42 locations as they left Egypt. The Alter Rebbe asks: why does the Torah use the plural of travel when it describes their exedus of Egypt? Leaving Egypts is only one journey, why the word מסעי - Ma’sei which means travels in the plural? The Alter Rebbe explains:  The Exodus of Egypt is more then just physical geography. The exedus of Egypt is our journey from a slave culture, a slave mentality, to a refined elevated state of inner refinement and true inner freedom. To remove the shackles of bondage, in our personality an...
