Indeed, why do we bother to pay an exorbitant price just to shake lulav and esrog for a few moments? Why would one spend an extraordinary amount of energy to clean and check for chametz? Why does anyone in their right mind leave the comfortable home to dwell in a semi-roofless hut and endure the attack of unpleasant weather and mosquitoes? None of these seems normal or natural. However, always remember that we are the children of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, and we are above nature. Suffering back-breaking labors and horrendous abuses in Egypt, seeing our children being stuffed within the rock and drawn in the river, we forwent the hope of freedom and accepted the fate of slaves. However, by adhering to the Will of the Almighty, Klal Yisrael was redeemed instantly as a Nation and transformed from defenseless slaves to masters. On Pesach, the Creator of the universe took us out with a Strong Hand by unfathomable miracles and became our Father in Heaven. This was the birth of the Holy Nation, the beginning of Jewish immortality. Heading into the desolate wilderness with little knowledge about the future, Klal Yisrael followed the guidance of her Shepherd and cleansed herself to understand the essence of her existence in seven weeks. HaShem is our G-d, and we are His people. Just as HaShem is One, so we are one. Only when Klal Israel clings together as one unity and fulfills the Will of our Creator, we exist as a nation and be able to achieve our purpose of Creation. United with HaKadosh Baruch Hu under Mount Sinai, we accepted the Holy Torah and became His eternal bride. This is the core of our existence. This is the connection to our Lord. In the series “The Laws of Yom Tov,” Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner will guide us on the journey of restoring our closeness with our Father in Heaven and fulfilling His Will in the way He wants. #YomTovProhibition #LawsOfYomTov #YomTov #JewishFestivals #JewishHolidays #YomimTovim #HighHolidays #PilgrimageFestivals #BeezratHashem #RabbiLevLeibLerner #LearnWithLerner
