Why is it that every year, we set out with such high hopes for the Seder. This year it's going to be different... This year we're really going to experience coming out of Egypt! This short video will show how you to make your seder a sublime experience even when the kids are screaming, when you've got up from the table for the 28th time, when you've just managed to finish the last of the matzah just before the soup boil over, and you start to feel frustrated and saddened and a long way from Pesach.
When you bake bread, you mix the flour and the water, you knead it, and then you set it aside. Your involvement ends at that point. Yet the dough does not remain static. The dough, so to speak, takes over. It seems to change “on its own” Matzah is the exact opposite. From the moment the dough is mixed, it’s never left to rise, never left to “develop” on its own. Bread, Chametz, represents a world that seems to be self-raising - where nature appears to operate by itself. And Matzah represents a world where nothing can happen independently of Hashem.
