(Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley) This talk takes a dive into Gratitude as a way to hold suffering. The Jewish holiday of Passover began on Saturday. Passover is a holiday of liberation. One of the most joyous parts of the holiday is singing the song Dayenu, which translates as "It would have been enough." The song's lyrics list one blessing after another, 15 in all. After each verse the refrain is "if that was all, it would have been enough. But then there was this (next blessing)." When we look at our lives through this lens it gives us inspiration to see and appreciate all the good in our lives as we process all that is challenging.

(2:37) Bible Study: Isaiah 42:1-7 What is justice in relationship to God? Father explains John 12:1-11 Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him. What does that mean for us? (21:18) Break 1 (23:45) Letters: Who does he pope go to confession for? What material is need to have valid Eucharist? Father answers these and other questions. Send him a letter at simon@relevantradio.com (33:30) Break 2 (34:18) Word of the Day Plotted (38:47) Phones: Pat - Why is the mystery of faith different when I go to different churches? Is it seasonal? Pat - What is your favorite movie about Jesus, for Holy Week? Christina – Who were the Sadducees?

The climate crisis has entered an alarming new era. Since President Trump started his second term, the Environmental Protection Agency has fired scores of climate scientists and is trying to roll back climate protections and slash clean energy funding. For organizations like Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action, it's been a giant step backward.In this episode of Can We Talk?, we speak with Rabbi Jennie Rosenn, CEO of Dayenu, about how climate activists are navigating a new political landscape, how Jewish values fuel her work, and how the fight for climate action echoes the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt, which Jews will soon mark at our Passover seders.

B"H Dayenu — it would have been enough. In this video, we dive into the meaning behind this powerful song from the Passover Seder. It's more than a catchy tune — it's a deep expression of gratitude. Dayenu teaches us to appreciate every step of the journey: from the Exodus, to receiving the Torah, to entering the Land of Israel. Each stage is a miracle. Each process is a gift. Let's carry that mindset with us — not just on Pesach, but every day. To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE Subscribe to the Torah Thoughts BLOG for exclusive written content!

He sought out a public profile. He wanted to be a commentator. He wanted to establish a religion, buy a church and give sermons. That's not normal behavior. When you add to that his obsessions and wrestling with his religious devotion or lack of religious belief, that creates a heady stew. The partisan political ecosystem encourages him to give more takes and to have a financially rewarding pundit position.

I am also talking to the kids about why Jesus was all He had to be and how anything less wouldn't have been enough to save us.

Worship service given August 11, 2024 Prayer by Elizabeth Hunter, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 What does it mean to be open to the world? It is at once terrible, gorgeous, life-threatening, life-affirming, tragic, comic. How much light do we let in? In confronting the climate crisis, we need to confront the terrible reality; and then do the hard work of imagining a whole new future. A bit of Joanne Macy's work, a bit of climate communications science, a tiny bit of joy. During the summer our worship is led each week by a member of our congregation. Mary Babic is committed to the power of storytelling as a means for sparking social change, and to centering and elevating the voices of people who are most impacted by inequality, injustice, and exclusion. Before joining Dayenu, she worked for more than a decade at Oxfam, where she traveled across the country to hear from farmworkers, poultry workers, fisherfolk, BIPOC activists, and countless others on the frontlines of climate disaster response and fights for justice. Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For June, July and August 2024, the Giving First recipients are the ArCs Cluster, a local refugee support group, and the Immigrant Learning Center, a not-for-profit organization in Malden, MA. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text “fpuu offering” to 73256.

Things Discussed: LSU is out of NIL money? They got outbid for an MSU DT and Brian Kelly says "We don't buy players." That'll be news to Bryce Underwood; hope his checks clear. Spartans getting in their feelings about Jaden Mangham possibly transferring to Michigan (or Ohio State or Minnesota). Want to prevent him from graduating. There's an intrastate program that allows you to finish your MSU degree at Michigan. Why can't this work for other guys? It's a formal in-state program. The reason academic programs like this don't associate with athletic transfers that much is schools other than Michigan are good at making exceptions for athletes. Michigan should have done so for Terrence Shannon; they probably were right to turn down Caleb Love. Brian: Good time to be a Michigan fan; long-term prognoses for OSU and MSU not great. Dusty May's presser: Best first presser ever? He's a great communicator/teacher who gave us a lot of information, addressed exact questions. He was watching OSU games for fun? Seth: He was probably watching OSU games because he thought he'd be coaching them. Dusty's offense: two point guards, wants all of his players to be facilitators so the ball can't get stuck, can't get trapped. All of these guys have an out: good passers or at worst they can shoot it over anybody. Kinda like Beilein's where the PG with a 64-bit decision tree. Dusty May wants lots of guys with 16-bit decision trees. Tough part: lots of teaching to get it down. Rubin Jones perfect glue guy. I'm calling this now: I'm the #1 Rubin Jones fan around here. No takesies. Competition in the Big Ten? Oregon and UCLA will be decent, MSU standing pat with a bubble team, OSU is new coaching, Purdue graduated everybody. Michigan will probably be…top 4, 6-seed? Expect them to lose some games early as they learn to play with each other. Roster May built is ideal but for a star. I call it the Dayenu roster because everybody's one flaw from being in the NBA. Craig: May wants to be fun as well as good. Seth: Sounds like he's one of us. Football in the break: Terrance Brooks. Watched him vs Washington last year, when he was getting burned because he was in man all day. He's..Vincent Gray? Technically solid, smart, big, good ball skills, not a burner. Need to give him help; Michigan would be a good fit because they use so much poach coverage to take away the post. Texas was terrible because they were playing so much press quarters with no help on the double post and fade. Michigan takes that away. Schools cutting sports because of paying athletes? They'll say that, but they shouldn't. They're paying just 10% of their budget to players; pro leagues pay 55%. Will happen at the mid-major level because their conferences don't make sense and football is already a massive expenditure that they finance with student fees. Brian: that's a marketing fee; they can just cut back on marketing. What we want to see from Congress: your cap is based on how many scholarships you give out.

With the resha'im in Iran, firing over 300 missiles capable of causing complete annihilation, we are reminded of the words in the Haggadah, בכל דור ודור עומדים עלינו לכלותינו - in every generation they rise up against us to destroy us. And how fortunate we are to see the conclusion of that statement with our own eyes. והקב"ה מצילנו מידם - and Hashem saves us from their hands. Sometimes Hashem saves us with open miracles like in Yetziat Mitzrayim. And sometimes He saves us from behind the scenes like in the story of Purim. Giving us the capabilities to create machinery that can shoot down ballistic missiles and cruise missiles and giving us additional countries using their capabilities, is Hashem saving us from behind the scenes. But it's not really so hidden. To have that kind of threat with zero damage is HaKadosh Baruch Hu shooting down every missile out of His eternal love for us. In the Haggadah of Rabbi Eliezer Ashkenazi, he points out the fact that the Haggadah emphasizes Hashem saving us from our enemies, rather than Hashem wiping out our enemies. The reason, he says, is because if Hashem would just wipe out our enemies, we wouldn't necessarily see His love for us, because perhaps our enemies deserve destruction. But when Hashem comes just to protect us, that shows His complete love. It's only for us. Like when He told Avraham Avinu, אנכי מגן לך - I am your protector. And this is only what we see openly. We have no idea how much Hashem is protecting us from the billions of enemies that we have who are constantly plotting to harm us. We say לעושה נפלאות גדולות לבדו כי לעולם חסדו . We thank Hashem for the great wonders that He does for us that only He knows about. When Yitro came to visit us after Yetziat Mitzrayim , he told us more of the danger that we were in than we even knew, because he was in the government in Mitzrayim . If we would know about the miracles that Hashem is constantly doing for us, we wouldn't stop thanking Him. Regarding the Asher Yatzar , Rabbi Menashe Reizman pointed out, it says גלוי וידוע לפני כסא כבודיך - only Hashem knows how many miracles He's performing with our bodies constantly. If our bodies would be transparent and we would see the open nisim that are happening every second, we would be so appreciative. It says, הללו את ה' כל גוים - the nations of the world are going to give Hashem the greatest praises of all because only they know how much Hashem protects us. Only they see how many times their plots get foiled back in their faces. After Hashem showed us His love by protecting us, we hope now that He will avenge our enemies and bring the Geula . In the Haggadah we say, Dayenu , which many Mefarshim explain means, if Hashem would have just done one of the chasadim that He did for us during Yetziat Mitzrayim , it would have been enough of a reason to thank Him. How much more so that He did chesed after chesed after chesed . We say there, אילו הוציאנו ממצרים ולא עשה בהם שפטים - even if Hashem would have just taken us out of Mitzrayim without inflicting punishments upon the Egyptians, it would have been more than enough to thank Him. Hashem could have made Pharaoh not be able to sleep one night like Achashverosh and asked for His book of Chronicles to be read. And it would have said that Yosef HaTzaddik saved his country and he never paid him back. And then, with that, he could have released the Jewish people. But instead, Hashem allowed us to see revenge against the people that tortured us. And that was an additional level of love that Hashem did not have to do. We need to appreciate so much that we have Hashem on our side. And now, more than ever, we need to storm the Shamayim with our tefilot and good deeds to merit the Geula Shelema b'karov . Amen.

Does God every bless you MORE THAN ENOUGH?  Yes!  All The Time!  Let's tell Him!  Dayenu!

Dayenu, es un canto hebreo, que se entona en forma de rondas, uniendo la voz de todos los participantes quienes repiten las estrofas en coro. Es tradicional que se cante en el inicio de la Pascua Judía (Pesaj).  La palabra Dayenu, que en hebreo significa “hubiera sido suficiente para nosotros” se repite en toda la canción. El poema que forma el texto de Dayenu, relata la liberación de los israelitas de la esclavitud de Egipto, junto con todas las bendiciones que Dios les otorgó durante su viaje hacia la tierra prometida, una idea que se transmite generación tras generación dentro de la conciencia judía. Su estructura está compuesta por 14 estrofas que siguen un patrón repetitivo, cada una de ellas expresa un regalo de Dios: las primeras cinco hacen referencia a la libertad de la esclavitud, las siguientes describen los milagros que Dios hizo a favor de los hebreos, y las últimas cinco hacen referencia a la relación estrecha que Dios tiene con el pueblo hebreo. Además de su significado e importancia dentro de la tradición histórica del judaísmo, Dayenu, “la canción de la pascua”, transmite un mensaje de gratitud por valorar las bendiciones recibidas, recordándonos que incluso si sólo hubiéramos recibido una parte de lo que tenemos, eso habría sido suficiente para estar agradecidos. Hoy Dayenu nos invita a creer, que incluso las bendiciones más pequeñas que tenemos, son motivo suficiente para estar agradecidos. ¿Y tú estás agradecido?.

In this episode of Essential Questions, Rabbi Dan Levin speaks with Rabbi Jennie Rosenn, Founder and CEO of Dayenu, an organization mobilizing the American Jewish community to confront the climate crisis with spiritual audacity and bold political action.

Dayenu - דיינו - "That alone would have been enough, for that alone we are grateful"

Everyone's Favorite Part of the Haggadah! Dayenu! Enjoy & get ready for YOUR Passover seder. Lots of love, Rabbi Garfinkel of Project 613

Dayenu Part 2, The Process of Yetzias Mitzrayim (Vayakhel-Pekudei #2 5783)

Dayenu - The Lessons in Emunah from Yetzias Mitzrayim (Vayakhel-Pekudei 5783)

A key element of Sabbath is the practice of delight. When we take the time to stop and to rest, we find ourselves more aware of the goodness and beauty in the world around us. This recognition and enjoyment of creation is called delight, and it's something that God himself does. Scripture is full of God delighting in his creation, including us. God delights when we delight. But most of us are too unaccustomed to delight. Simply put, we don't know how to play. We know how to indulge, how to escape, and how to numb, but few of us have cultivated the Godly qualities of playfulness and joy in our lives. God institutes Sabbath not as a day of restriction and rigidity, but as a day of delight so we become people defined by our joy. When we use Sabbath to practice delighting in God, in others, in creation, and in ourselves, we allow the Spirit to form us into people of delight. Genesis 1:31-2:3; Mark 2:23-3:6

It Would Have Been Enough…Psalm 40:4-5 “Happy are those who make the Lord their trust, who do not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods. You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you. Were I to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be counted.”Happy are those who make the Lord their trust.  Do you know why this is?  Do you know why if you trust in the Lord you are happy?  Because the Lord always come through in a way that the rest of the world doesn't.  The Lord doesn't let you down.  He doesn't say He will do something and then forget to do it.  Have you ever been let down by someone in your life?  Have you ever had someone say they would do something and then they didn't.  I am willing to bet you have.  I think we all have.  Personally I have had people let me down.  They didn't mean to, but they did.  I have also let people down.  I said I would do something and then I didn't.  Not because I was trying to hurt them, but because I forgot.  I know that saying I forgot isn't an excuse, or a good reason, I am just explaining how sometimes we can let people down without meaning to.  God doesn't do this though.  God has never forgotten a promise.  He has never forgotten to show up when we needed Him.  He has never not been there for us.  This is why we are happy when we make the Lord our trust.  However, if we place our trust in the things of this world, those that go astray after false gods, we will be let down.  We want to believe we can trust those that are proud.  They tell us how strong they are and how they can take care of everything and then they let us down.  Humans are fickle.  We are there for each other when it is convenient for us.  We are there for each other until something better comes along.  The divorce rate in America is about 44 %.  That is just less than half of all married couples.  When you get married you put your trust in your spouse.  Your trust them to be faithful and to uphold the marriage vows.  You trust that you will be with them forever.  That is not the case for a lot of people these days.I think if we are honest and we look around at the world today there are lots of people that we should be able to trust and yet we can't.  We elect politicians expecting that they will uphold their word and do what they said they would do before they got elected, however, we can't always trust they will do that. We should be able to trust police officer's to be fair and just and that is not always the case.  We should be able to trust priests and that is not always the case either.  Children should be able to trust that their parents will always protect them, but sometimes they don't.  There are untrustworthy people in all walks of life.  Poor or rich, it doesn't matter, you can find people that abuse trust no matter where you look.  However, God will never abuse your trust.  He will always be there for you and will protect you always.  The second half of this verse says, “You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you. Were I to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be counted.” How great is it that God multiplies his wondrous deeds and his thoughts towards us.   It is so true that none can compare to God.  It's interesting that we turn to other things before God and yet when we think of what God has done for us vs. what the other things we are turning to have done, there is no comparison.  I like how it says, if I were to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be counted.  Have you ever done this?  Have you ever tried to count your blessings?  I heard of this Jewish tradition of singing a song about the Exodus during passover.  Dayenu (“It Would Have Been Enough”) is a song that lists a series of kindnesses God performed for the Jewish people during and after the Exodus and concludes each with the word dayenu — “it would have been enough.”  Here are the words:If He had taken us out of Egypt and not made judgements on them; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had made judgments on them and had not made [them] on their gods; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had made [them] on their gods and had not killed their firstborn; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had killed their firstborn and had not given us their money; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had given us their money and had not split the Sea for us; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had split the Sea for us and had not taken us through it on dry land; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had taken us through it on dry land and had not pushed down our enemies in [the Sea]; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had pushed down our enemies in [the Sea] and had not supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years and had not fed us the manna; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had fed us the manna and had not given us the Shabbat; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had given us the Shabbat and had not brought us close to Mount Sinai; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had brought us close to Mount Sinai and had not given us the Torah; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had given us the Torah and had not brought us into the land of Israel; [it would have been] enough for us.If He had brought us into the land of Israel and had not built us the ‘Chosen House' [the Temple; it would have been] enough for us.I remember when I first learned of this tradition the author was talking about how this is a great tradition for us to adopt to show our gratitude.  Although, instead of recounting the story of Exodus, we could recount the story of our lives.  You would make stanzas full of all the amazing things God has done for you.  For example:If God had helped me get my Master's degree and not given me such amazing friends, it would have been enough for me.If God had given me such amazing friends and not introduced me to my husband, it would have been enough.If God had introduced me to my husband and not moved us to incredible places to live, it would have been enough for me.  If God had moved us to incredible places and not showed us beautiful places to travel, it would have been enough.If God sent us on beautiful vacations and not give us beautiful children, it would have been enough.If God gave us beautiful children and not moved us back close to family, it would have been enough.Hopefully you get the point.  I am sure I did not do that perfectly and I would definitely like to spend some more time on it to really come up with some great examples of how much God has blessed me and my family.  God has blessed all of us.  If you really sit down and think about it I bet you can come up with all sorts of blessings that God has given to you or brought into your life.  I am sure if you really think about it you will see that God has multiplied His wondrous deeds just as it say in this verse.  Putting our trust in the Lord will make you happy.  Thinking about all your blessing will make you and God happy.  What if you took a few minutes out of your day today and came up with a Dayenu song of your own.  What a great way to thank God for all He has done.  I have been told when you sing, you are praying twice.  Let's all create this Dayenu song and sing it to the Lord today!  Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, you are amazing and we are so grateful for all you have done for us.  Lord, we want to trust you.  Please point out any ways we are placing are trust in others.  Help us to trust you first and foremost Lord.  You are our trust.  Lord, help us to each write a Dayenu song to you.  Help us to remember all your wondrous deeds in our lives.  We know you have done so much, help us to recall it all.  Lord you are so special.  You are the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.  We are grateful to be your sons and daughters, your prince and princesses.  We love you Lord and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.  Have a blessed day!

Welcome to Embrace Shabbat. On Pesach, we say in Dayenu: אִלּוּ הֶאֱכִילָנוּ אֶת־הַמָּן וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת־הַשַׁבָּת, דַּיֵּנו ּ, had G-d fed us the mann, but had not given us Shabbat, it would have been enough. What is the connection between mann and Shabbat? Although he lived before the giving of the Torah, Avraham Avinu kept the laws of Pesach, as it says: לושי ועשי עוגות , you should kneed and make matzot. Chazal teach that it was due to this action that the Jewish people merited the mann . The Torah teaches that mann was given in a town called אלוש , from the root word לושי , which means to knead. Avraham Avinu was able to transform the physical food into something spiritual, so that the holy angels could partake in his meal. In the merit of this action, the Jewish people were later able to eat the mann , a completely spiritual food, despite the fact that they were mortal human beings. Because Avraham was able to feed the spiritual angels tangible nourishment, his children were able to eat the spiritual food, which had adapted to physicality so that his descendants would be able to eat. Shabbat is on an even higher place. We take the physical food and transform it into a דבר שבקדושה , turning the gashmiyut into ruchniyut . אִלּוּ הֶאֱכִילָנוּ אֶת־הַמָּן - G-d “gave us the mann” , the ability to ingest ruchniyut into our physical bodies. וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת־הַשַׁבָּת - on an even greater level, He gave us Shabbat, where we can take physical food and turn it into something holy. וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת־הַשַׁבָּת - why is the terminology of G-d giving us Shabbat used? Rabbi Shur quotes from the Sfat Emet: מתנה טובה יש לי בבית גנזי - there is a gift that I have in my treasure house and it is called Shabbat. On Shabbat, the Jewish people merit to go into G-d's treasure house. G-d doesn't take out the treasure and bring it down. Rather, He allows the Jewish people to go into His treasure house every Shabbat. That is the gift of Shabbat- He lifts us up to that level. אִלּוּ הֶאֱכִילָנוּ אֶת־הַמָּן וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת־הַשַׁבָּת, דַּיֵּנו ּ- What is the connection between the mann and Shabbat? In order to be allowed into G-d's special treasure house, a person must first be purified from the physicality of regular food. By eating the mann , the Jewish people were made into more spiritual beings, after which they were able to enter into that special zone called Shabbat. Then, they could take the physical world and uplift it. Every Shabbat, G-d gives us the gift of Shabbat, where we can exist in our mundane world, but on a different level of existence. We can drink and enjoy, while being brought into the special treasure house called Shabbat. How are we able to exist on these two planes? Because of the purification of the mann. By ingesting the spiritual food of angels into our bodies, we gained the ability to seemingly be down in this world, but also lift our existence on Shabbat to a higher level of existence called the בית גנזי , G-d's treasure house. Shabbat Shalom.

We have been talking about the concept that, during Sefirat HaOmer, we have to work on our love for our fellow man, and on our Middot. The Chida asks an age old question. The Dayenu that we say in the Haggadah lists 15 things, such as: If God took us out of Egypt, and did not punish the Egyptians…, that would have been enough. It would have been fine if they weren't punished. And each one of those Dayenus , on their own, is something that is worthy of saying thank you for. But one of the Dayenus that we say is, “ אלו קרבנו לפני הר סיני …. Ilu Kervanu Lifne Har Sinai/If You brought us close to Har Sinai, but You didn't give us the Torah, Dayenu.” That is hard to understand. It's like saying, “If you brought me to the restaurant, but you didn't serve me any food, that would've been enough. But if you didn't get any food, why is it worth it to sit in the restaurant? Coming to Har Sinai is very nice, but without the Torah, we weren't served anything. The Chida answers that we see from here that there was obviously something great that happened before the meal . Actually coming to the restaurant did some thing to us. Maybe the restaurant has nice hors d'oeuvres that you get before the meal., Maybe there's a nice aroma in the restaurant. Maybe there's a nice ambience. So too, just being at Har Sinai did something to us. It cleansed us. It purified us, and made us into better people, which enabled us to receive the Torah. And every year this repeats itself. We are going through a process called Kervanu Lifne Har Sinai. We have to appreciate that. And , of course, we have to do our own work. The rabbis tell us, of the days of Sefirat HaOmer, that we get a surge on the night of Pesach, when God lifted us up. Then He brings us back down to earth, and we have to work on and earn it through our own work over the next 49 days, which we are currently in the middle of. It's all about character perfection, working on our Middot, and getting ourselves ready to receive the Torah. But we get help. God helps us during these times, just like He helped us then. I heard a beautiful thought from Rabbi Avraham Schorr, in his Hagaddah shel Pesach . He says that we usually read “ Ilu Kervanu LHar Sinai, to mean “If He brought us close to Har Sinai, ” but he reads it as, “ If You brought the people close to each other in front of Har Sinai.” This process brings us together, the process of making the Jewish people join and come together. That is what we are supposed to be working on during these days. Each person has to do his own introspection on what separates him, and what will help unite him. This has to be our focus during these days; Kervanu / Bringing us close, before Har Sinai. Have a wonderful day.

Rabbi Perl discusses Passover and other crumbs of wisdom.

It's such a hard year to talk about liberation. So much pain in the world. Do we get to cancel it?

How would it “have been enough for us” if G-d had not parted the sea or taken us through it on dry land? The weekly Torah portion includes far more depth than what appears in a quick review of its passages. Each week in Beyond the Letter of the Law, Harry Rothenberg, Esq.

How do we know when enough is enough, or maybe even too much when it comes to fulfilling our obligations to the world around us? As we make our way to seder tables for Passover 2022, the narrative of a perilous journey to freedom is literal for more than 2 million Ukrainian refugees around the world.Join the rabbis JG for an open and honest conversation on the Jewish ideas around obligation, and how we show up in times of crisis.

Today is a special 2/1 class, which will be shared with both the Ahavat Yisrael and Daily Bitachon groups. Yetziat Mitzrayim is the source for all of our Emuna and Bitachon, and the end goal of the night of the Seder is Hakarat HaTov/Appreciation and recognition of the kindness that Hashem bestows upon us. That is why we say Dayenu as a part of Maggid . We list all of the things that Hashem does for us, and we have Hallel/the song of praise, as part of Maggid . Maggid is not over when the story is finished- it's over with the words Ga'al Yisrael- God redeemed us. Hallel is a part of Maggid , because simply telling the story would not be a complete job. We have to tell the story and feel like we got out, to the point that we sing Hallel and we are overflowing with gratitude. That has to be the feeling of the night. What's more, as we discussed yesterday, the entire Haggadah is based on four pesukim that come from the story of Bikurim , which is the Mitzvah of the first fruits, that we offer to Hashem and say Thank You for. With baskets in hand, we appreciate the land that God gave us. Aside from the fact that these four pesukim are the shortest version of the story of the Exodus, they were chosen because it is also the story of gratitude. That is the end goal. The rabbis tell us that if we go through the story of the night and we only come out with Emuna and bitachon/faith and reliance, that is not enough. We have to walk out with a feeling of gratitude, and ultimately, a feeling of being servants of Hashem, because we owe Him. The first commandment is Anochi Hashem Elokecha, I am Hashem your God God, Asher Hotzeti Me'Eretz Mitzrayim/That took you out of Egypt . We don't just say that God is our God, but we add that He took us out of Egypt , because we serve God because we owe God. We have to feel that on the night of the Seder. And we shouldn't wake up the next morning with the attitude that we can't get up at 8am to pray because we finished late the night before. We have to feel like we want to get up even earlier, at 6:30am, to learn at 7, because God just took us out of Egypt. That has to be the feeling on the morning after the Seder. This relates to Ahavat Yisrael, man and his fellow, in that the Gemarah says, Whoever denies the goodness that his friend does, will end up denying what God does. If you don't have gratitude to people, you will not have gratitude to God. I remember over 20 years ago, Danny Massry brought out this point when we were discussing the concept of atheism. We had been discussing why respecting your father and mother is on the right side of the Ten Commandments, which is about man and God. It should be on the other side of the Ten Commandments where it talks about man and man. The commentaries answer that respecting your parents is an issue between man and God because if you aren't going to respect your parents, you aren't going to respect God. If you don't respect the physical father that you have, and the physical mother that gave birth to you and raised you, you aren't going to respect the Father that you don't see. Danny commented that people are not atheists because they don't see or believe in God. He pointed out that they don't visit their parents other than on Mothers' Day or Fathers' Day. They aren't atheists, they are ingrates .The source of atheism is not really atheism. The source is a lack of gratitude. They don't want to say thank you so they deny God. The proof of this is that the parent that they do see, they aren't grateful to either. That is how Ahavat Yisrael (which is between man and man, and loving your friend for what he has done for you or what he is) connects to the Mitzvah of Yetziat Mitzrayim. Yetziat Mitzrayim has to cause us to come out with more perfected Middot between man and man, because Man and God, and man and man are one and the same. Rav Wolbe says that if a man's heart is closed, and he only sees himself, and he doesn't see out of his heart, then he doesn't see other people and he does not see God. Once you open the window of your heart and see out, you will see God and you will see people. Paroah said, “ Who is God that I should listen to him? “ This was also the Paroah who forgot about Yosef. How could he have opressed the Jewish people if their grandfather saved his country? Where was his gratitude? Paroah did not have gratitude for people and so eventually he came to deny God. There is an important connection between gratitude and religion. That is why we have to work on the middah of HaKarat HaTov. The whole Yetziat Mitzrayim is about HaKarat HaTov to the nth degree. Rabbi Friedlander asks why it is that Moshe had to be careful not to bring a plague on the Nile (which saved him) or on the sand (which protected him). Why did he have to have HaKarat HaTov to inanimate objects? Although Hakarat HaTov is more important for the person feeling it than the person receiving it, we do see that great rabbis have thrown things, such as their hot water boilers, out on the street. Hasn't that boiler served the rabbi for so long? How could he throw it out? The answer is, of course you can throw out a boiler, because that is not a halacha. So why did Moshe have to be so careful? Because Moshe was bringing us the lesson of Yetziat Mitzrayim, which was all about HaKarat HaTov. We have to be very careful with this Mitzvah. In Rav Chaim Kanievsky's sefer Orchot Yosher (page 214), which we have been quoting from, there is a story about his rebbe, Rav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz, one of the Gedolei HaDor. Rav Chaim told this story at Rav Michel Yehuda's funeral. Rav Michel Yehuda once asked Rav Chaim to borrow a sefer . He explained that his father had been a God-fearing man, but he did not serve as a Rabbi or Rosh Yeshiva. He was a simple working man. Often, when walking together in the street, Rav Michel Yehuda explained, his father used to teach him lessons in mussar . He would say, “Do you see that man walking there? That man is a shoemaker. He is working man just like me. And yet he has a son that is a Talmid Chacham. You too can become a Talmid Chacham even though your father is not a rabbi. Don't be afraid. Learn well, be diligent, and dedicate yourself, and you will grow and become a Talmid Chacham.” Rav Michel Yehuda then added that he'd heard that the son of a shoemaker wrote a sefer Brit Eitan . “ I heard you have a copy. I would like to learn that sefer as a gesture of gratitude to the author. I have Hakarat HaTov to him because without him even realizing it, he inspired me to learn. Because he was the son of the shoemaker and he learned, my father was encouraged that I too could become a Talmid Chacham. I got strength and inspiration from him. Rav Chaim, after recounting that story, added that he too had to learn the sefer, “ Because Rav Michel Yehuda Leftkowitz was my rebbe, If not for him I would not be who I am.” So 750,000 people came to the funeral of Rav Chaim, and Rav Chaim Kanievsky became great because of his rabbi, Rav Michel Yehuda, and it all came from a shoemaker's son. We all owe him Hakarat HaTov. How far does Hakarat HaTov go?! The famous Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz once said that when Moshe Rabbenu came to Yitro, his daughters reported that an Egyptian man had saved them. But Moshe wasn't Egyptian, so why did they say an Egyptian and not a Jew ? The Midrash answers that it's because if Moshe hadn't killed the Egyptian, he never would have become a fugitive and would not have saved them. They had to ultimately go back and be grateful to the Egyptian man that Moshe killed, which caused Moshe to be a fugitive, which is what saved them. The mashal for this, says the Midrash, is a baby that is drowning in a river. A man nearby then gets stung by a hornet and goes running into the river. He sees the baby and saves it. When the baby is returned to his mother, the mother says, “You saved my baby!“ And they says, “ No, it was not a man, it was a hornet that saved your baby.” We, the Jewish people, owe the shoemaker. That is how far Hakarat HaTov goes. We need to feel that trait between people, and ultimately to God, because it is a package deal. Have a wonderful day.

The Exodus Alliance is a group of multifaith organizations, faith leaders, and everyday people taking action for climate justice. On Passover, they plan to organize Passover street seders in front of Chase banks all across the country -- the world's largest investor in fossil fuels -- to challenge the financial underpinnings of this "Carbon Pharaoh." Nate DeGroot, national organizer for The Shalom Center, and Madeline Canfield, organizing coordinator for the Jewish Youth Climate Movement, represent two of the projects that are collaborating on the Exodus Alliance, along with Dayenu. They join Dan and Lex for a conversation about "carbon pharaohs," non-violent direct action, and activism across generations.If you're enjoying Judaism Unbound, please help us keep things going with a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation.

On this episode of Is That Like a Thing podcast, we talk about waiting and waiting well. This episode was recorded before the podcast even began airing, and we have been holding onto it until the Lord gave us a sign that the time was just right. And unbeknownst to ALL of us, our brave Emily has a brand new book about waiting now available for purchase on amazon! (Link below)This week are thrilled to hear from our producer, Emily Gentiles, on this episode as she waited in a season of infertility only to have it turn out entirely different than she had expected. We really get into the nitty gritty of what it looks like to wait on the Lord and what we do when we don't actually get the thing we are waiting on. It was SO good, it became a part one and part two situation. This episode will encourage you if you find yourself stuck in  a season of waiting, or even if you're just coming out of one. There is a lot of biblical content shared on this episode (and the next) and we are pumped to share it with you. Also, just a quick note— as Becky stated at the beginning of the show, it was recorded in December. We are happy to say that Willa, Magen's daughter, has gotten a healthy bill of health when it comes to the potentially cancerous spots on her bone. She still has a heart valve stenosis and we continue to pray for her continued healing! Would you like more information? Follow us on facebook, twitter and Instagram! @isthatlikeathing or reach us at: 469-854-9636. We would love to hear about your personal journey in the waiting room as well. And as always, thanks for listening. HOSTS / GUESTSCrystal Yates, Magen Thurman, Becky Leach (feat.

In this episode of A Musing, I'm talking about the dangers of entitlement, the benefits of mercy, and the importance of getting to the place where we can sing Dayenu (it is sufficient).

Fezzik & Inigo are in search of a miracle and find an old Catskills comedian. Dayenu.

When I was in college, I joined a fraternity, a co-ed fraternity. It was called The Tabard, after the pub in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, from which a motley band of pilgrims set out on their journey.
