In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

COMMUNITY LINKS | 1-877-LINKS-1236

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

In the Torah we find Hashem giving Moshe an instruction that shaped our calendar Hashem said to Moshe and Aharon (Shmos

122) ldquoThis month should be to you the beginning on the months it should be first to you for the months of the yearrdquo The month that Hashem was referring to is the month of Nissan the month in which the holiday of Pesach occurs

The Ramban explains the uniqueness of this command and this month He writes that the reason the month of Nissan is to be the first the month which is assigned the place as the first month by which we count all others is because of the significance of the event which occurred in that month Nissan is to serve as a reminder of the tremendous miracles that occurred with our exile from Egypt It is a reminder that we will encounter on a daily basis When we state for example that today is the 29th day of the 12th month we are stating that it is the 12th month from our salvation from the Egyptians from the birth of our nation Hence we assure that we are continuously reminded of the event that is to remain primal in our lives

The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 4291-2 ) elaborates on the importance of the month of Nissan Why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the first The Egyptians worshiped the kid a young goat which is the first of the astrological signs in the zodiac The kid is also the astrological sign for the month of Nissan Pharaoh relied heavily on the astrological signs for power and strength We find by the plague of Barad hail that Pharaoh said ldquoG-d is righteous but I and my nation are evilrdquo However after the cessation of the plague he still refused to release the nation of Israel When the next plague of Arbeh locusts arrived he stood steadfast in his refusal to release the nation Why the change from contrition to brazenness The plague of Arbeh and then Choshech darkness when Pharaoh instructed Moshe and Aharon never to appear before him again occurred when the astrological sign of the kid was coming into power This period is the month we know as Nissan Pharaoh believed that as the sign of his god was at its full power there was no way he would succumb to the G-d of his

slaves the G-d of Moshe and Aharon the G-d that inflicted plagues upon him and his nation Pharaoh knew that he would emerge on top during this month He was wrong

The month of Nissan is the first month because of its great significance Not only does it contain the reminder about our miraculous departure from Egypt It is also significant as it is a clear demonstration of the oneness of G-d and his dominion The month of Nissan in which Pharaoh who relied on this month for success was defeated illustrates that it is Hashem who is our G-d in heaven and on earth It is Hashem who controls whose divine providence shapes our lives No other entity has any such power contrary to Pharaohrsquos belief No other force whether it is our daily toil and effort or the signs in the zodiac can affect our lives without G-drsquos fingerprints on it Because of the importance of this lesson Nissan is the first month the month by which we count all others

The month of Nissan is upon us The month which signifies the power of G-d is here The month which celebrates our miraculous birth of our nation has arrived It is our responsibility to recognize what the month of Nissan is all about In this way come Iyar Sivan and the other months our reference point has true meaning and significance

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Fast Facts about Yad Ezra With continued high unemployment in our state Yad Ezra

continues to experience record number of families in need of food assistance

Currently 5 of the Jewish metro Detroit population relies on Yad Ezra for monthly assistance

We have 3000 clients on our active rolls (1500 families) Since December 2007 the number of individuals assisted by Yad Ezra has increased by 33 Through a partnership with MiCafe (Michigan Coordinated Access to Food

for the Elderly) Yad Ezra volunteers have registered more than 100 Oakland County families for SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) who prior to meeting with us did not receive the government entitlement

Let Yad Ezra purchase groceries with your donation With Yad Ezrarsquos buying power warehouse space and careful attention to pricing Yad Ezra is able to save client families a significant amount of money while providing them with nutritious and good tasting food Check out our website wwwyadezraorg or call (248) 548-3663 to make a donation or for more info

COMMUNITY LINKS | 1-877-LINKS-1236

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

COMMUNITY LINKS | 1-877-LINKS-1236

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

BY RABBI DR JERRY LOB

The Seder is a place of learning and family of song and holiness lots of food fun and mitzvos

small children big children wise grandparents laughter and great seriousness even awe Itrsquos also about contradictions

The symbols collide throughout the night There are symbols of celebration such as matzah and reclining and symbols of pain such as maror (bitter herbs) and strange dips that serve to remind us of the tears cement and bricks of our slavery One interpretation of the meaning of the ldquoFour Questionsrdquo speaks to the dueling messages ldquoMa Nishtana Haleila Hazehrdquo ndash How are we to view this night Is it matzah or maror Celebration or mourning triumph or tragedy

The Matzah itself is a paradox This simple bread holy for its very simplicity is called ldquothe bread of afflictionrdquo slave food and yet it also evokes for us a memory of the bread that had no time to rise in our rush to taste freedom Is matzah a symbol of suffering or G-drsquos love

So is the emotion of the night honoring and remembering the sadness or singing with hope and joy The answer of course is both

As children of Holocaust survivors my sister and I knew intuitively that while the Seder is firstly the story of slavery in Egypt redemption and the birth or our nation it is also about our own parentsrsquo slavery and redemption

The Seder is a discussion of all of Jewish history Itrsquos a discussion about the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea standing as a nation and hearing G-drsquos voice at Sinai the manna in the desert and the glory days of the holy Temples in our homeland And it is also about exile inquisition crusades pogroms the Holocaust intifadas and the incredible miracle of the survival of the Jewish people And for our family the incredible miracle of our parents and grandmother It is as much about our three grandparents who were not there (for whom my sister and I were named) as about our grandmother who was there whose very existence was a gift Itrsquos about the depths of despair and the determination to rebuild with faith and joy

One of the most moving parts of the Seder centers around the mitzvahs of eating matzah and maror The Haggadah directs one to recline when eating matzah but not when partaking of the bitter herbs I remember thinking many years ago that this business of reclining is like a stage direction for the appropriate emotion during a specific activity Reclining an indication of freedom is a behavioral

expression of the emotion that we should be feeling as we eat matzah As a symbol matzah may signify pain and joy but tonight we are directed to feel the joy of G-drsquos loving intervention

Maror on the other hand we are told should be eaten without reclining and so we hear the message that the emotion is sadness honoring the pain remembering the loss feeling the bitterness

Which brings us to to the Hillel sandwich called Korech It consists of two pieces of matzah and bitter herbs in the middle So how do we act now Do we recline or not Matzah or maror Sadness or joy

Over the years the power of this moment has grown for me the moment when I once again look down at my Haggadah and see those words ldquoThe sandwich is eaten while recliningrdquo Two small words that convey to us a wisdom of a people a wisdom that has been our national secret and key to Jewish survival Jewish vitality While reclining This is what we declare to G-d and to our children our families friends neighbors and perhaps most importantly to ourselves As a people we have matzah times and maror times times of great joy times of great tragedy And as families or individuals we too have matzah times and maror times We donrsquot expect a life without hardship This Seder sandwich is life And it is our whole history So we will take this sandwich that You G-d have given us and we will eat it with joy while reclining We eat the entire sandwich with joy because the enveloping matzah provides the context of love that allows us to swallow even the bitter parts with joy When we feel Your love we know You are our loving Father and we trust You even when it hurts even when it is so painful

This is how our grandparents and ancestors lived ndash with trust with love and with joy

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov

Parshas Vaera contains the bulk of the Ten Plagues beginning with the plague of Blood and

continuing up to the plague of Locusts The plagues begin with G-drsquos command to Moshe ldquoSay to Aaron lsquoTake your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers over their canals over their ponds and over all their gatherings of water and they shall become blood there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stonesrsquordquo [Shmos 719]

Rashi on this pasuk [verse] teaches that it was Aaron rather than Moshe was commanded to initiate this plague because the Nile protected Moshe when he was thrown into it as an infant Therefore Aaron initiated the plague of Blood and the plague of Frogs (in which the Nile was also smitten) The Gemara comments on this A person should not cast stones into the well from which he has drunk

This is the principle of Hakaras HaTov [recognizing a favor] We learn from here that Hakaras HaTov applies even when the doer of the favor is only doing what he is supposed to do anyway The Nile merely floated the basket That is the nature of water It is a law of physics that something lighter than water floats on water The Nile thus did not go out of its way to do anything special for Moshe It just did what it has been doing since the beginning of time

And yet we still learn from here that there is an obligation of Hakaras HaTov This dispels a common practice among people It is the nature

of people to say ldquoWhy do I need to say lsquoThank yoursquo Why do I need to have HaKaros HaTov ndash- He had to do it anywayrdquo

Hakaras HaTov is not measured by the benefactorrsquos efforts It is measured by the impact on the recipient When someone benefits from someone else ndash- whether the benefactor did or did not need to provide the benefit he did or did not have to do it whether it was or was not a bother for him the beneficiary has a responsibility to recognize that he owes a debt of gratitude The proof is the Nile River It merely did what water does and yet Moshe Rabbeinu felt a sense of Hakaras HaTov
