Welcome to our Bitachon class. We now discussing the Haggadah of Pesach. We're in the stanza of Yechol Rosh Hodesh, that we might have thought that the right time for the Seder is Rosh Hodesh. And the pasuk says, ב יום ההוא, B'Yom HaHu/on that day. Well, that day , may mean during the day . And as we said last class, anytime we have a thought, there has to be a basis for it. We don't just say maybe. The fact that we even thought that the Seder should be on Rosh Hodesh Nissan means there's a strong reason to think so. And the fact that we thought that the time to do it is during the day and not the nighttime means there's a strong reason to think that as well. So what happened during the day of the 14 th of Nissan that would warrant saying the Hagaddah of Pesach during the day ? The answer is, that's the day when they slaughtered the Korban Pesach. What was the ultimate revelation that caused the need to do the Haggadah? You might have thought it was the Korban Pesach. So exactly what does the Korban Pesach symbolize and teach us? This is very important information-The Egyptians worshipped the sheep. That's why it was considered an abomination to be a shepherd in Egypt, as is clearly stated in the pesukim. Furthermore, Moshe told Paroah that they could not slaughter the sheep in the local town of Egypt; they'd have to go out to the desert, because they'd be stoned if they were seen slaughtering sheep, the Egyptian god. Why did the Egyptians worship the sheep? It wasn't random. There are 12 symbols in the horoscope. These 12 symbols are not just for palm readers or the newspaper horoscope column. These are real concepts rooted in our Torah literature. The Ramban, for example, tells us that the symbol of Tishre, Libra is a scale , which he says is a sign in the heavens that we're being judged that month. And the Mazal of Adar is a fish, or Pisces, as fish are above the Ayin Hara.. The Mazal of Elul אלול אני לדודי ודודי לי, I am to my beloved, and my beloved to me is Virgo, which is a young maiden. All of these symbols are real and have to do with specific times. The sheep is the head of all 12 Mazalot . That's why Rabbenu Bachye says this month is called Aviv/ אביב is a contraction of אב י"ב, the father (or chief) of the other 12. Therefore, the Egyptians worshipped the sheep as the so- called Bechor , or first born of the Mazalot . (After the sheep comes the ox, the Taurus. One of the commentaries say the reason why the Jewish people worshipped the golden calf was because they said Now that we brought down the sheep, we have to go on to the next symbol, which is the ox. ) So the Egyptians worshipped the sheep and felt it had a power in the heavens and when we slaughtered the sheep, our actions down here were impacting the mazal of the sheep in heaven. We were going to overcome the mazal , based on the principle of אין מזל לישראל/ We Jewish people are not impacted by the horoscope. We're not impacted by any of these signs. As Hashem told Avraham, Go outside. Says Rashi , this means leave your soothsayers, leave all of that stuff. We the Jewish people are above all that. God tells Avraham, Go in front of Me and you will be perfect. And that's the Brit Milah. And there's another Mitzvah later on, which is תמים תהיה,Tamim Tihyeh be perfect with Hashem and go away from all the soothsayers and stargazers. So the Brit , the deal that we made with Hashem was to be Tamim , to be complete with Him , to rely on Him and to be above all that nonsense. We're above nature, we don't follow nature. Today we'll call mazal nature . So that was the symbolism. We slaughtered the sheep down here and the mazal of the sheep in the heavens comes down and everything falls with it. Additionally, the Jewish people tied the Korban to the bedposts on the 10th of Nissan, which was Shabbat HaGadol. It was a miracle, it says, that the Egyptians did not kill them when they did that. The midrash says further, quoted by Tosafot, that the pasuk in Tehilim lומכה מצרים בבכוריהם / Hashem hit the Egyptians with their firstborn. Shouldn't it be, He hit the firstborn Egyptians ? Tosafot explains that when Moshe announced that we'd be slaughtering the sheep, a civil war broke out among the Egyptians. The Egyptian first- borns all said, Let them out already! What are you doing , and there was a civil war between the firstborn and the rest of Egypt, about whether they should let them out before the 14th, before they slaughter the sheep. Why were the firstborn so concerned? The Maharsha says, because there was a connection between them, almost like the concept of a voodoo doll , a little doll that is supposed to resemble a particular person and if you stuck pins in the doll's ankle, suddenly that guy would get a pain in his ankle. Likewise, the firstborn sheep was like a voodoo doll of the First born Egyptians. How so? When you slaughter the sheep down here, it impacts the mazal in the heavens of the firstborn, and the firstborn would die. That's why slaughtering the sheep was actually the impetus of Makat Bechorot . That's why the firstborn said, Don't let them slaughter the sheep! It's going to bring us down. And that was what the war was about. So Korban Pesach illustrated, in a very vivid way, the power of the Hashem over the mazal, but En Mazal L'Yisrael. We ignore Mazalot . The Ramban, in many places, discusses the important rule of תמים תהיה. In Bereshit 17,1, he quotes the pasuk in Devarim 18,13, and says that This is one and the same, which is, יאמין בלבו, believe in your heart. כי הקדוש ברוך הוא לבדו, הוא בעל היכולת בתחילה ובסוף,. הוא יכול לעשות, לבטל. Only God is in charge. He can do or annul. And therefore, when you hear any soothsayer or any predictor, לא יאמין שיבואו דברים על כל פנים, don't say it has to happen. When you hear predictions, financial, health or otherwise, you should say in your heart, הכל ביד עליון, עליונים. It's all in the power of God. And he says, וכפי שיתהלך אדם לפניו, and the more I connect to Him, מפרוטות, I will undo these signs , and he says that's what it means when Hashem told Avraham Avinu, in Shabbat 156a, Leave the soothsayers. He repeats this in Devarim 18,13, where he says, When you hear what they say (tariffs or anything else), you know what your response should be? הכל בידי שמים, it's up to God. הוא אלוהי אלוהים, He's the God above all, עליון על הכל. And believe, שכל הבלות תהיינה, everything that happens to me is כפי יתקרב אדם לבדו תול, the more I connect to God in His service. This is an important rule, and this is the message of the Korban Pesach. And lastly, he says this in his השגות on the Sefer Mitzvot , Mitzvat Aseh 8, where he discusses things that he believes should be on the list, that the Rambam left out, and he believes that תמים תהיה was one of the 613. We have to believe that He alone does everything, He knows what's going to happen in the future, and if we have a problem, we look to Him. He says, שכל הכל תהיינה, We have to believe that all forces happen, as we connect to Him. And this is why we might have thought, מבעוד יום, " The message of the Korban Pesach? wow, we should make the סדר right then and there!"

Pesah - Shabbat HaGadol by Rabbi Avi Harari

The situation of Erev Pesah occurring on Shabbat affects a number of different aspects of the pre-Pesah schedule. These changes begin with the observance of Shabbat Hagadol (literally, "the Great Shabbat"), which we normally observe on the Shabbat immediately preceding Pesah. Several different customs are practiced on this Shabbat, most notably the "Derasha" (lecture) delivered by the Rabbi of every community consisting of insights into the Haggada and practical instruction concerning the Pesah celebration. When the Shabbat immediately preceding Pesah is Erev Pesah, delivering the Derasha on this day obviously does not allow the congregation time to apply the material as they make their Pesah preparations. Hence, it is customary on such years to observe Shabbat Hagadol a week earlier, so that the people will learn the relevant material while there is still time to implement it. Generally, the day of Erev Pesah is also observed as "Ta'anit Bechorim" – the Fast of the Firstborn. All firstborn males are required on this day to either fast or to absolve themselves of fasting by participating in a "Se'udat Misva" (meal involving a Misva), such as a Siyum (completion of a Talmudic tractate). When Erev Pesah occurs on Shabbat, of course, the fast cannot be held on Erev Pesah. Some communities observe Ta'anit Bechorim on Friday in such a case, whereas others – including our community – observe Ta'anit Bechorim on Thursday. (The Steipler Gaon reportedly observed Ta'anit Bechorim on both Thursday and Friday in this case.) Therefore, when Erev Pesach occurs on Shabbat, firstborns must make a point of participating in a Siyum on the previous Thursday in order to absolve themselves of the obligation to fast. Bedikat Hames (the search for Hames) normally takes place on the night before Erev Pesah. When Erev Pesah falls on Shabbat, however, the Bedika is performed on Thursday night. One follows the same procedure for Bedikat Hames as in regular years, including the recitation of the Beracha. Bi'ur Hames (the burning of the Hames), which is normally performed on the morning of Erev Pesah, is, in a case where Erev Pesah falls on Shabbat, performed on Friday morning. In such a situation, however, one omits the "Kal Hamira" declaration which is normally recited when burning the Hames, whereby one renounces ownership over any remaining Hames. Since one will still eat Hames on Friday and Shabbat morning, one cannot renounce his ownership over his Hames at this point. This declaration is therefore made only on Shabbat morning, after one has eaten all the Hames he plans to eat before Hames becomes forbidden.

Why is this Shabbat called "the Big Shabbat"? What is its significance in relation to Pesach?

Shabbat haGadol provoquera la gueoula (selon le Rabbi) by Rav David Touitou

All Jewish festivals and commemorations are linked to the calendar date. We always celebrate Pesach on the fifteenth of Nissan, which this year falls on a Tuesday even though at the time of the Exodus it was a Thursday. The same is true of Sukkot, of Shavuot, of Chanuka, of Purim, of every Jewish remembrance – we always commemorate the calendar date not the day of the week - with one exception: Shabbat HaGadol. What do we commemorate on Shabbat HaGadol and why don't we celebrate it on its calendar date? In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Nisan is the head of all months. It's a month of miracles, a month that is auspicious for Geula , and we are all hoping that we will finally be zocheh to experience it. The Torah tells us, שמור את חודש האביב , from which we learn that we have to ensure that Nisan comes out in the spring by sometimes adding an extra month of Adar. The sefer Nifseh Chaim explains, in Nisan we were commanded to slaughter the korban Pesach , which is a sheep. The Ramban says, one of the reasons for that korban is because the constellation of the month is a sheep, and it has influence on growth. The Torah told us to slaughter the sheep, to teach us that our leaving of Mitzrayim and blossoming into a nation was not going to be a result of the influence of the sheep, but rather it was going to be clear to all that Hashem is in charge of everything, and He was the one taking us out of Mitzrayim . This constellation governs during the first month of spring, and perhaps this is why Nisan has to come out in the spring, to remind us that we are governed by Hashem, and our growth always comes from Him. We get our strength from following His mitzvot. אין מזל לישיראל -We are above all of the mazalot . Even things that were destined to happen can be changed when we believe wholeheartedly that Hashem is in charge and not the natural forces of the world. A woman told me, she has a sister who is 38 years old and, baruch Hashem, is getting married about a week before Pesach. A few weeks ago, she was on the phone with her and she was feeling angry that her parents were only going to give a small amount of money towards the wedding. She herself did not have the funds to make a wedding and was feeling a great deal of stress trying to figure out where she would get the money from. All of a sudden, in the middle of the conversation she said, “Wait a second, what am I saying? Hashem is the One in charge of money. It's not Abba or Ima that is in charge of paying for the wedding. It is only Hashem and He will send the money the way He wants. It's not my job to worry and definitely not my job to be angry at Abba or Ima.” At that moment she felt so much calmer and better about things. Her sister was so proud of her, and they began talking about something else. A few minutes later, she said to her sister that their aunt was calling on the other line and her sister encouraged her to hang up with her and answer it to see what their aunt wanted. She spoke to her and then called her sister back twenty minutes later completely flabbergasted. Their aunt told her, she's going to fly in from the U.S. for the wedding and she wanted to pay for the entire thing. Not only that, she wanted to pay for the entire family, both sides, to stay in a hotel for the Shabbat sheva berachot , which would be Shabbat HaGadol, and then she said she also wanted to pay for everyone to stay there for the entire Pesach as well. It was an amazing yeshua that came within moments of this woman believing in the power of Hashem, rather than the way the natural way of the world seemed to be progressing. Another woman said her mother has had many health issues this past year and on top of it all, she was hit by a car that left her with post-traumatic stress disorder. And then when it seemed like she was finally improving, she lost her appetite to eat or drink until they had to admit her to the hospital. There, even more problems began to surface. The woman has two siblings that were not on speaking terms. She felt that making peace would be such a great zechut, it would help their mother immensely, and so she worked up the courage to text one sibling asking if he could acknowledge the other's presence with a word or two as a zechut for their mother. She didn't get a reply until the next day, when she received confirmation that he did greet the other sibling and even gave him a hug. Not too long after that their mother perked up. She became more conversational and even ate a little. It was a small yeshua, but it was something that she hadn't done in a long time and it gave them a lot of chizuk . We are above the mazal . Our deeds and our emunah are what accomplish things. When we know that Hashem is in charge and act accordingly, great things happen.

Parshat tzav: Shabbat *Hagadol*_*PREP*_!! Anxiety kills!?! Matzo the bread of emuna and HEALING!!!! Rabbenu Moshe Feinstein's ztl 3 crucial lessons!! And the holy chafetZ Chaim ztl and the “ShvitZ”

Parshat Tzav: This Shabbat was Shabbat HaGadol, the Shabbat that commemorates when the children of Israel brought a lamb into their homes, in preparation for slaying and eating on Passover. Why do we eat lamb on Passover? Because we are what we eat.

Maran, in Shulhan Aruch, discusses the special Shabbatot that precede Pesah and the various Halachot that apply on those days. On Shabbat Shekalim, we take out an extra Sefer Torah and read the section of Shekalim, just as on Shabbat Zachor, the Shabbat before Purim, we read the section of Zachor, and we read special portions from the Torah on Shabbat Para and Shabbat Ha'hodesh. Interestingly, however, Maran also makes mention of the Shabbat immediately preceding Pesah, which is called Shabbat Hagadol ("The Great Shabbat") because of the miracle that occurred on this Shabbat. Maran makes mention of this Shabbat, even though there are no specific Halachot associated with this Shabbat. There is no special reading from the Sefer Torah on this Shabbat, and there are no special prayers, and yet Maran made a point of mentioning in his Halachic code that this Shabbat is special and is called Shabbat Hagadol.It is true that there are several customs observed by some communities on this Shabbat. For example, many synagogues read a special Haftara on this Shabbat, but this is not required according to the strict Halacha. Some Ashkenazim read portions of the Haggadah on Shabbat Hagadol, but this, too, is just a custom, and in fact the Vilna Gaon (Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna, 1720-1797) was opposed to the practice. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1807) suggested that perhaps the Halachic implications of the status of Shabbat Hagadol relates to greetings extended to one another on this Shabbat. Instead of greeting one another with the usual greeting of "Shabbat Shalom," the Hida suggested that perhaps one should instead extend the greeting, "Shabbat Hagadol Shalom," and the other should then respond, "Shabbat Hagadol Shalom U'meborach." Still, it remains unclear why Maran would make a point of mentioning Shabbat Hagadol if there are no actual Halachot that apply on this Shabbat.Former Chief Rabbi Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron, in his work Binyan Ab, suggested that the practical significance of Shabbat Hagadol lies in the perspective it gives us on the preparations for Pesah. On the Shabbat before the Exodus, which was the 10th of Nissan, Beneh Yisrael were instructed to prepare a sheep for the Korban Pesah (paschal sacrifice) which was slaughtered four days later, on the 14th of Nissan. In full view of the Egyptians, who worshipped sheep as an Aboda Zara, Beneh Yisrael took a lamb and tied it to their bedpost, and they even explained to the Egyptians what they were doing, that this animal would be sacrificed to G-d. The Egyptians wanted to kill the people for desecrating their deity, but G-d performed a miracle and made them powerless to cause Beneh Yisrael any harm.Rav Bakshi-Doron noted that this miracle differed fundamentally from the ten plagues. The ten plagues were brought directly by G-d, whereas the miracle of Shabbat Hagadol came about through the people's courage. It was through their preparations for the Misva that a miracle happened. And the fact that G-d performed a miracle during the preparation for the Misva, four days before the actual performance of the Misva, is very significant. It demonstrates that even the preparatory stages have great value; that even the work we do in preparation for a Misva is laden with significance. And thus Maran made mention of Shabbat Hagadol in Shulhan Aruch, to teach us the importance of preparing for Pesah, by learning and teaching the Halachot and putting ourselves in the proper frame of mind for the holiday. The miracle of Shabbat Hagadol teaches us that it is not only the Misva itself that has value, but also the work we invest beforehand preparing ourselves for the performance of the Misva.

Perashat Tsav presents the system of sacrifices that were brought in the Holy Temple. There is something about sacrifice that signals to us a message of freedom. This episode unpacks that idea and looks at some essential components that still hold for us today.

Parsha Talk; with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. While the Torah reading this week, Tzav [Leviticus 6–8], continues with a description of the principal sacrifices from the priests' point of view [chapters 6–7] and a description of the inauguration of the Tabernacle [chapter 8], we went in a different direction. In anticipation of the upcoming festival of Passover, we discussed the six haftarot that mark the holiday: the haftarah for Shabbat Hagadol this week [Malachi 3:4–24], followed in turn by the haftarah for the 1st day from Joshua [5:2–6:1, 6:27], the 2nd day from 2 Kings [23:1–9, ,21–25], Shabbat Chol Ha-mo'ed from Ezekiel [37:1–14], the 7th day from 2 Samuel [22:1–51], and the 8th day from Isaiah [10:32–12:6]. It was a lot of page turning and a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy! We will be taking a week off for Passover, and will return in two weeks for Parashat Sh'mini. Shabbat Shalom and Chag Same'ach!

Pesach 5783 - Shabbat HaGadol 5783 in memory of Dr. Chuck Feldman z"l

The JTS Commentary for Shabbat Hagadol, Parshat Tzav by Rabbi Joel Seltzer, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement, JTSMusic provided by JJReinhold / Pond5.

Everything to know about Nisan, Shabbat Hagadol, Pesach, The Haggadah, and The Seder. Sources: Rabbi Shalom Arush Chacham Ovadia Yosef (Yalkut Yosef Saka Edition) Rabbi Eli Mansour & Rabbi David Sutton (The Sephardic Haggadah)

In Memory of Rabbi Yitzchak Dror ZT"L By His Loving Family This Shabbat is called Shabbat HaGadol and the Tur explains the reason because on this Shabbat before the Jewish People left Mitzrayim , they each tied a sheep to their bedpost in preparation for the korban pesach and when the Mitzrim inquired about what they were doing, they told them Hashem commanded them to slaughter the sheep. As we know, the Egyptians worshiped the sheep as their god, but now they were unable to do anything to stop the Jews. They had to humbly accept what the Jewish People were going to do and that itself was miraculous and hence we call this day Shabbat HaGadol because of the great miracle which took place upon it. Hashem gave His people the satisfaction of taking revenge against the Egyptians who tormented them for so many years. They watched as Hashem made a mockery of the Egyptians and they enjoyed every moment of it. When it comes to nations of the world who start up with us, Hashem is called a G-d of Vengeance. Nobody could harm us and get away with it. Hashem will take revenge against every nation who ever tried to harm us. However, when it comes to our friends or family members, if they hurt us, Hashem told us it is forbidden for us to take revenge, we have to forgive and forget. לא תיקום ולא תיטור– we can not take revenge or even bear a grudge. Although revenge may be very sweet, trusting and following Hashem is much sweeter. We need to overcome our natural inclinations and hold back from hurting people who hurt us. A man told there was someone who for some reason decided he wanted to make his life miserable. This man misses no opportunity to hurt his feelings and cause him pain and, in his words, “Thanks to him, my life was indeed miserable.” One day, his golden opportunity came to take revenge. He was finally able to get back at him. But then he stopped himself. He said, “It is forbidden from the Torah to take revenge. How could I go against Hashem?” And so, he let the opportunity pass and went on with his day. Just hours later, his boss called him into his office and told him that he noticed how dedicated he was to the business and that he wanted to promote him to a much higher position with a much higher salary. He overcame his inclination in order to follow Hashem and immediately saw blessing pouring down. Hashem has so much blessing to give us and He has infinite ways of giving it to us. When we do our jobs properly, we open the door for Hashem to send His blessings. A man said he tries to raise money every year around Sukkot time for one of his Rabbis in Israel. He usually collects between $2000-$3000 and tells his Rabbi it's a holiday present. This year he was involved in many other projects and felt like skipping the collection for his Rabbi's holiday present. He decided he would just give him $300 from himself. One night, in the middle of Elul, he woke up in a sweat. He had just dreamed that his Rabbi was telling him he needed $10,000. It was very real and he felt he had to help him. So he made many phone calls and, in the end, he gathered together over $10,000 for his Rabbi. He himself went to Israel for Sukkot and so, before the holiday, he happily stopped off at his Rabbi's house and handed over all of the money in cash. The Rabbi was taken aback at the very large present he was given. The man explained it was because he saw the Rabbi in a dream telling him he needed $10,000. The Rabbi then said to him, “That's amazing,” and he explained. He had been talking to his wife just a few weeks before, they were discussing how they needed to come up with 10,000 shekel to pay their overdue mortgage bill. They were being threatened because they were a few months behind and since the Rabbi recently married off a child, he had nothing extra to pay with. He had already borrowed from whoever he could borrow from. He told his wife they needed to pray hard for Hashem to send them the 10,000 shekel. His wife then said to him, “Why should we limit our prayers to get exactly what we need? Let's pray to Hashem for $10,000.” They figured out afterward that that took place on the very same night that this student had a dream about his Rabbi. Hashem has infinite ways of helping. The more we sacrifice to follow the Torah, the more He could shower us with blessing. Shabbat Shalom.
