Er zijn in Nederland elk jaar meer dan 1200 festivals te bezoeken. Van kleine tot enorme waar meer dan een kwart miljoen mensen op af komen. Het is zweterig, je moet ver reizen, ver lopen, in een klein rot tentje slapen, in de rij staan voor douchen, gore wc's en muntjes om weer in de rij te staan voor bier. Om daarna hutje mutje tegen elkaar aan te staan bij de ene band, zodat je geen tijd hebt om de andere te zien. Waarom in godsnaam zouden we dat willen doen? Psychologen Thijs Launspach en Lennard Toma duiken in de aantrekkingskracht van festivals en waarom we dat eigenlijk als erg prettig ervaren. En wat er psychologisch gebeurt als duizenden mensen tegelijkertijd bij elkaar zijn. Ow, en iets met drugs.Bronnen:- Durkheim, É. (1912).

Rabbi Shulman analyzes the Mishnah and Gemara's debate over what “ברכת השיר” is at the end of the Seder, explaining why many Haggadot incorporate both יהללוך and נשמת כל חי. He then focuses on a precise claim in the Gemara: within יהללוך there are specifically **eight** concentrated expressions of praise, and this “eight” aligns with a broader Torah pattern where songs are introduced by **אז** (whose letters total eight). Rabbi Shulman closes by introducing a Midrash (R. Akiva) about Hashem “wearing” a garment engraved with all the occurrences of אז in the Torah—torn after sin and restored in the future—setting up how the Maharal will interpret this symbolism.

Daily Dose of Bitachon: The Power of "Yesh Li Kol" Welcome to the Daily Dose of Bitachon. We are continuing the topic of the difference between the approach of Yaakov and the approach of Eisav. Yaakov's approach is "Yesh li kol" — I have everything . The opposite of this is "V'chol zeh einenu shoveh li" — all this is worthless to me . As we discussed, the negative theme of the month of Tammuz is "this is all worthless to me," and Yaakov Avinu is the polar opposite. Yaakov Avinu: The Father of Bitachon Seforim say that Yaakov Avinu represents the ultimate level of bitachon (trust in God) among the Avot. As it says in Tehillim: "Yaancha Hashem b'yom tzarah, yesgavecha shem Elohei Yaakov" (Hashem should answer you at a time of difficulty; you should be strengthened by the God of Yaakov). Yaakov Avinu is singled out because he went through intense challenges—with Eisav, Lavan, Dinah, and Yosef—and survived them all through his bitachon . He is the father of bitachon . He is also the archetype of one who is mistapek b'muat —happy with just a little bit. When you have true bitachon , you realize everything is from Hashem, so you can be genuinely happy with the smallest amount. Yaakov only asked Hashem for the essentials: beged lilvosh, lechem leechol (garments to wear, bread to eat). He stated, "Katonti mikol hachasadim" (I have been diminished by all the kindness You have given me). Yaakov Avinu views everything as an undeserved kindness, and that is precisely how he ends up having everything. When he responds to Eisav, he says, "Ki chanani Elokim" (God was gracious to me). The word chanan comes from the language of matnat chinam (a free gift). If you realize that everything is a gift and that you don't inherently deserve anything, then you feel like you have everything. Rav Shach's Insight: How to Have Everything I'd like to share a beautiful thought in the name of Rav Shach, who asks a powerful question on the Mishnah: "Eizehu ashre? Hasameach b'chelko" (Who is wealthy? The one who is happy with his lot). Rav Shach asks: How can anyone naturally be happy with their lot? The nature of a person is "yesh lo maneh, rotzeh matayim" —if you have a hundred, you want two hundred. He answers that the one who is sameach b'chelko is someone who views himself as owning absolutely nothing. If you have a hundred, you feel you need two hundred. But if you have zero, you need zero. How does a person achieve a state of having nothing? By realizing that everything belongs to HaKadosh Baruch Hu and is merely on loan. Once you realize you own nothing, you can appreciate everything as a gift. The Symbolism of the Kosher Animal The Vilna Gaon shares a fascinating thought regarding why a kosher animal must chew its cud. Chewing the cud symbolizes being happy with what one already has. To chew the cud means to ruminate. The kosher animal ruminates and ruminates on what it has already consumed; it is not constantly looking for what it lacks. It's like the concept taught by Rabbi Avigdor Miller: re-chewing and appreciating the apple, over and over again. It is the art of appreciating what you have, rather than looking for what you don't have. In contrast, non-kosher animals are predators. They are never satisfied and are always hunting for more. Tamim Tihyeh: Simplicity and Completeness The Torah states, "Lo nachash b'Yaakov" (There is no magic/serpent activity in Yaakov). As we mentioned yesterday, the nachash (snake) symbolizes Eisav. The snake is the voice that says, "I don't have anything; Chava, you don't have anything." The Torah forbids nichush (superstition and predicting the future through sorcery). Instead of acting like the nations who rely on these practices, we are commanded: "Tamim tihyeh im Hashem Elokecha" (Be whole/simple with Hashem your God). Our Sages note the connection: Yaakov is described as an "ish tam yoshev ohalim" (a wholesome man, dwelling in tents). He is the ultimate example of being tam —complete. Because he is complete, he doesn't need to look outside or try to predict the future. Tamim tihyeh means to walk simply with God, but it also means to be complete with God. If you know you have everything you need right now, you have no reason to look to future-tellers. Amalek, Haman, and the Power of "Li" The force of Haman is the force of Amalek. The Torah says of Amalek, "Asher karcha b'derech." While this means he cooled you down, karcha also comes from the word mikreh (coincidence). Amalek claims that everything is a coincidence. Similarly, by Haman, the Megillah uses the phrase "Asher karahu" (what happened to him). Haman viewed everything as random chance, not directed by God. If nothing is directed by God, you naturally fall into the trap of, "This is all worthless to me." As we mentioned yesterday, Haman said, "V'chol zeh einenu shoveh li." He completely missed the concept of "li" —the realization that God does everything specifically for me . We say in the morning blessings: "She'asah li kol tzarki" (Who has provided for me all my needs). God provides exactly what I need, directly to me. This is also the core message of Yetziat Mitzrayim (the Exodus): "Ba'avur zeh asah Hashem li" (Because of this, Hashem did for me when I left Egypt). God deals with us individually. Hashem speaks in the singular form: "Asher hotzeiticha" (I took you [singular] out of Egypt). The rasha (wicked person) in the Haggadah is a kofer b'ikar (denier of the foundation) because he rejects this concept. He says, "What is this service to you ?"—excluding himself. Therefore, we tell him: "Li v'lo lo" (For me, and not for him). You are not part of this mindset because you don't understand the li . The Connection Between Pesach and Tisha B'Av It is a well-known calendar fact that the first night of Pesach always falls out on the exact same night of the week as Tisha B'Av. This is one of the reasons we place a roasted egg on the Seder plate—it symbolizes mourning, connecting the joy of the Seder to the solemnity of Tisha B'Av. While the simple connection is that we lost on Tisha B'Av what we originally gained at Yetziat Mitzrayim, we can suggest a deeper connection based on yesterday's discussion: The spiritual struggle between Yaakov and Eisav's ministering angel took place on the night of Tisha B'Av. Furthermore, the commentaries point out that when Yaakov Avinu slept at Beit El and had his powerful dream of the ladder, that night was also Tisha B'Av. The Torah says he took twelve stones and placed them around his head, and they miraculously fused into one single rock because the stones quarreled, each wanting the tzaddik to rest his head on them. On Tisha B'Av, there is a custom to sleep with a stone under one's head instead of a pillow. Yaakov Avinu initiated this tikun (rectification). By bringing the separate stones representing the separate tribes together into one, he rectified the spiritual root of Tisha B'Av. Yaakov takes Tisha B'Av—the day associated with the vulnerability to Eisav—and elevates it back to a day of "Ba'avur zeh asah Hashem li." Conclusion To sum up our theme: The negative energy of the month of Tammuz is thinking like Eisav, Haman, and the snake—the mindset of constant lack and dissatisfaction. The counter-force to this is the approach of Yaakov Avinu. It is the understanding that we truly have everything, that God has graced us completely, and that we can "chew our cud," remain whole, and recognize that everything we have is exactly what we need.

The Mishna Berura cites the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) as instructing that one should include works of Mussar as part of his daily Torah learning schedule. The term "Mussar" refers to materials aimed at enhancing one's Yir'at Shamayim (fear of G-d) and inspiring and helping a person to grow in his ethical conduct and his religious commitment. Every person has a Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination) and faces spiritual challenges each day. This is true of all people, regardless of their level of religious commitment. In fact, the more a person grows spiritually, the more the Yeser Ha'ra tries to lead him to sin. Therefore, a person must counter these efforts by studying works of Mussar that remind him of his religious obligations and of how Hashem watches him at all times and holds him to account for everything he does. For this reason, most yeshivot include an official Seder (session) for the learning of Mussar as part of the daily schedule. In some yeshivot, this Seder takes place toward the end of the day. In Yeshivat Porat Yosef, however, Mussar is learned in the morning, before the students begin their regular studies. This seems more reasonable, as the students thereby gain inspiration right at the beginning of the day, setting the tone for the day's learning. Rav Yisrael Salanter (1809-1883) taught that when learning Mussar, one should say the words with his mouth, rather than read silently, as the words have a stronger impact when they are verbalized.

The Kabbalists taught that it is preferable to sleep during the first part of the night – from nightfall (when the stars come out) until Hasot (halachic midnight). During this first half of the night, the Kabbalists explained, the harmful spiritual energies are in force, posing danger to the purity of the Neshama (soul). It is thus best to go to sleep right at nightfall, when these energies surface, as when one sleeps his soul is entrusted to Hashem and hence protected from these forces. Then, right before Hasot, one should rise and involve himself in Torah and prayer. This was the practice followed by the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909). Citing the Arizal, the Ben Ish Hai taught that the first part of the night of called "Layil," whereas the second part of the night is called "Layla." The exceptions to this rule are Friday night and the night of the Seder. On Friday night, the sanctity of Shabbat protects the soul from harm, and the night of the Seder is called "Lel Shimurim" (Shemot 12:42), a night of protection, when even the "Layil" portion of the night is safe for the soul due to the special quality of this night. However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef noted that both the Gemara (Berachot 62b) and the Rambam (Hilchot De'ot 4:4) instruct that sleep is most beneficial during the latter part of the night. Hacham Ovadia writes that he saw Rabbis in Jerusalem who followed the Ben Ish Hai's practice, but his practice was to learn until late at night and then go to sleep. Practically speaking, it seems that the advent of electric lighting and modern travel and communication has rendered this question moot. Years ago, there was no possibility of working or doing much else after dark, and so people stayed home. Today, of course, people are still busy after nightfall, and it is not practical for most people to go to sleep right at nightfall – which can be as early as 5:30pm or so in the winter – and then wake up at Hasot. Therefore, while there are those (such as the "Kollel Hasot" program) who sleep during the first part of the night and then rise before Hasot, for most people it is more proper to learn at night and then go to sleep.

One of the lessons we learn from Yitziat Mitzrayim is never to despair no matter how bad things seem to get. When Moshe Rabbenu first informed the Jewish People that they were going to be redeemed from their torturous slavery, things only got much worse. And even when the makot finally began, the Jewish People still had to wait an entire year to be freed. Sometimes the process of salvation takes time but we must consider the fact that the wheels may already be in motion to salvation and our emunah to keep going and do the best we can in our avodat Hashem will only hasten that process. Sometimes it is precisely our ability to move forward during the hard times that ultimately proves to be our merit to gaining salvation. There was an 8 th grade girl with exceptional middot but had very poor grades. And because her grades were so bad, she had a very hard time getting accepted into a high school. The high school that all her friends were going to rejected her and no matter how hard her parents tried to get the school to change its mind, they were adamant about their decision. When the new school year came around, this girl had nowhere to go. Her parents felt dejected and their spirits were broken, but the girl herself was still in good spirits. On the first day of school, she decided she wanted to be productive and so she volunteered at one of the local hospitals. She spent the day tending to a sick girl, a little younger than her, and was able to lift her spirits a lot. That afternoon when she was about to leave, a woman entered the room and was happily greeted by the patient. The woman was the patient's grandmother. She asked the other girl why she wasn't in school. The girl was a little embarrassed to admit the truth, but she told her it was because she couldn't get into high school. The woman said to her, "As of tomorrow, you will be in school." Turned out, this woman was the principal of the school which all her friends got accepted to. Now, seeing her superlative middot , she changed her decision and she accepted her despite her poor grades. This girl's ability to keep going happily, despite her rejection, was the catalyst to her salvation. On Erev Pesach of 2021, an avrech from Elad, who moved to Israel from France, was given a very large food package as a gift to help him for the holiday. In addition, he was given two pounds of hand made matzot with an excellent hechsher . He was very grateful to the generous donor who gave that to him, but he had already bought all of the matzot that he needed for the holiday and really didn't need these. He asked his friends and neighbors if they needed any and they replied they already had. That afternoon, his wife asked him to pick up something from the store. He was almost sure the store would be closed, being that it was already 1:45 in the afternoon, but he went anyway. When he arrived, he saw the store was closed and got back into his car, but before he pulled away, he noticed another man knocking on the store window, which caught his attention. He got out of his car and asked that man what he needed. The man replied, his boss made him stay at work extra and he didn't get a chance to buy matzot yet for the Seder. He said when he saw the store was closed, he didn't want to give up, he was hoping maybe someone would still be inside and would open the door for him, so he knocked. The avreich told him not to worry, to follow him to his house because he had two pounds of matzot there that he could give him. The avreich was so happy when he gave that man the matzot, he told his Rabbi the story that night in shul. The Rabbi told him, if that man would have just left the store without knocking, you would have never noticed him and you would have left and he wouldn't have gotten matzot. In truth, Hashem had matzot set aside for him in Elad. When he didn't give up, but rather knocked on the door making that extra effort, then he was able to access the gift that Hashem had waiting for him. Our ability to always be hopeful and do our jobs happily, despite going through difficulties will truly make us great. Shabbat Shalom.

I'm pulling back the curtain on the Passover secrets hiding in plain sight that most Christians have never been taught, including what the four cups of the Seder meal actually mean, why Jesus refused to drink the fourth cup, and what that tells us about the marriage supper of the Lamb. I'm also showing you the physical miracle hiding inside the tomb that almost no one talks about, how 100 pounds of burial spices became the greatest evidence for the resurrection, and why the biblical calendar is not just ancient history but a live portal of grace that is open right now for you to walk through into your next season. This is the season to exit your Egypt, and what I'm about to share could change everything.   Podcast Episode 2084: Passover Secrets REVEALED + Why The Biblical Calendar Matters | don't miss this!

On today's special Passover episode, we pause our study of Menachot 86, 87, and 88 for an end-of-festival special featuring producer Josh Kross. Since we have spent so many days discussing the "unleavened bread offerings" of these pages, we pivot to an exploration of the "Wicked Child" in the Haggadah. We re-examine the famous question—"What is this ritual to you?"—not as a sneer of exclusion, but as a profound challenge of identity. Through the insights of Rabbi Sari Laufer, we explore how every child at the Seder is already part of the story, proving that even the most difficult questions are a vital spark for spiritual renewal. How can the "wicked" child actually be the deepest seeker at the table? Listen and find out.

On today's special episode, we step away from the usual pages of ⁠Menachot 80-82⁠ to bring you a compact, deep-dive meditation on the Haggadah just in time for Passover. We explore why tradition insists on having multiple commentaries at the table, the mystery of Lot's ancient matzah, and the "Dayenu" principle of finding gratitude in every stage of the journey. From the historical defiance of King David's plumbing to the spiritual "accessory packs" of the sacrificial offerings, we connect the dots between the Talmud's logic and the Seder's story of liberation. How can a simple piece of unleavened bread transform our modern understanding of freedom and faith? Listen and find out.

The Pesach Perspective: Built For Redemption Pesach is not just a story of freedom. It is a question directed at each of us: what are you doing with the freedom you've been given? From the Rambam to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this episode reveals a powerful truth. G-d did not remove struggle from our lives, He gave us the ability to rise through it. The Exodus was not the finish line, it was the beginning of responsibility, purpose, and becoming. As we sit at the Seder, we are not looking back, we are stepping into a living story. Every mitzvah, every moment of clarity, every choice we make continues what began in Egypt.

The Sefer HaBatim writes regarding the mitzvah of Sippur Yetziat Mitzrayim on the night of the Seder, that in this mitzvah, number 150, we are commanded to speak about how Hashem took us out of Mitzrayim in order to strengthen our emunah in the hashgachah of Hashem upon us and in the wonders that He performs. This means that one of the primary messages we are meant to internalize on the night of the Seder is that Hashem runs the world and everything that takes place within it. On the night of the Seder, there is a special segulah for emunah that we can take with us for the rest of the year. The same divrei Torah that a person can say at any time during the year carries even greater value on the night of the Seder, when the matzah and maror are placed before us. It is certainly important to strengthen ourselves all year long in emunah in Hashem's hashgachah, but on the night of the Seder, we are able to receive the ultimate strength in it. It becomes so clear how much Hashem is involved in even the smallest details of our lives. Michael Cohen, the head of the Mitzvah Man organization, related that he received a phone call asking if he could help a woman who was living in a small apartment with three young children. She did not have a washer and dryer, and three times a week she had to take her children to a laundromat and wait there for an hour or two until the laundry was done. She needed a special washer-dryer unit that would fit into her small apartment. It was called a gas top-loaded dryer. The caller asked Michael if he happened to know anyone who had such a machine available for donation. He replied that he had never even heard of such a thing and did not know anyone who would have one. The very next day, he received an email from someone who owned an appliance store in the neighborhood that was going out of business. The man wrote that the only item left in the entire store was a gas top-loaded dryer, and he was wondering if Michael knew anyone who might need it. Michael could not believe what he was reading. Within a day, the machine was installed in the woman's apartment, and she had tears of joy as she thanked everyone involved, knowing she would no longer have to struggle to do her laundry. The hashgachah of Hashem is truly remarkable. Another woman related that she had received hand-me-down dining room chairs a couple of years earlier. One day, as she walked past them, she thought to herself that they could really use an update. She did not mention this thought to anyone. Three days later, someone texted her a picture of a set of gently used dining room chairs, asking if she would like them. She felt as if she had received a gift directly from Hashem, Who alone knows a person's thoughts and desires. Another woman said that she later realized she had not given proper kavod to a certain Rosh Yeshivah. Every time she thought about it, she felt a deep discomfort. After several months, she began praying to Hashem to give her an opportunity to ask forgiveness. Shortly afterward, she was with her sister, who asked her for a favor. Her sister had an important meeting that she could not reschedule, but at the same time she had a phone meeting with someone else who was supposed to help her with a certain matter. She asked her to answer the call on her behalf. Astonishingly, the call came in from that very Rosh Yeshivah from whom she had been hoping to ask forgiveness. She immediately took the opportunity and apologized. How could such a thing happen? How does a random woman get the chance to speak directly to a Rosh Yeshivah at just the right moment? The answer is clear — the hashgachah of Hashem is everywhere. The more we look for it, the more we will see it.

Bar Ilan professor Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman has just published a Hagadda for Passover. Based on his research on ancient Egypt it's clear that the Torah was written in that context, something Eve Harow experienced when she travelled there with Dr. Berman 3 years ago. They discuss the revolutionary thought of the Torah in varied aspects including freedom for the individual and a personal relationship with our Creator. The book is a timely synthesis of Torah and academia and its beautiful illustrations will draw the younger generation into the Seder as well. His new podcast The Bible Bar will give you a weekly insights into timeless texts. Enjoy and be safe.

On today's pages, Menachot 70 and 71, we jump into the most hotly contested debate in the history of the Seder table: can you eat rice on Passover? While the Torah defines chametz through five specific grains, the evolution of Kitniyot—the custom of avoiding legumes and rice—has created a deep cultural divide between Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions. Producer Josh Kross joins the show to recount the life-changing night he discovered a whole new world of Passover treats that his ancestors never dreamed of. How can a simple bowl of rice transform our understanding of the "correct" way to celebrate freedom? Listen and find out.

What would change if we designed the Seder to be experienced—not just completed? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer explore how the structure of the Seder shapes our experience of the Exodus story. Through creative reinterpretation and educational insight, they ask whether the traditional order fully captures the journey from slavery to freedom—and how small shifts in structure, storytelling, and ritual can make the Seder more meaningful and experiential. The conversation reflects on the balance between tradition and innovation, and what it takes to create a Seder that truly engages, inspires, and transforms.

The month of Aries (Nissan) is the true energetic beginning of the year—a powerful window when the seeds of the months ahead are planted. It is a time infused with the energy of miracles, renewal, and liberation from limitation, echoing the deeper spiritual concept of leaving “Egypt,” or breaking free from the narrow thinking and patterns that hold us back. During this period, there is a heightened opportunity to align our thoughts, desires, and actions with a limitless source of Light, allowing us to access greater clarity, expansion, and transformation that can shape the trajectory of the entire year.Recorded live on March 18, 2026 at The Kabbalah Centre Los Angeles, this bonus episode offers wisdom and tools to unlock the hidden power of the month of Aries and specifically this time leading up to Pesach, which begins on the Full Moon (April 1, 2026).  This extended episode includes @ElishevaBalas and features:        - an astrological forecast with kabbalistic astrologer @MiriamAshkenazi        - kabbalistic insight into the ego with @Daniel.Naor72        - daily practice and meditation with @ashke72Download the 12 Days of Aries Guide: https://onehouse.kabbalah.com/en/articles/12-days-aries/Join us for our International Pesach Experience in Los Angeles on April 1, 2026: https://bit.ly/4bQfcLfSearch for your local kabbalistic Seder on Pesach: https://bit.ly/4slG0J4
