Okay, good morning friends. Thanks to you, thank you everyone for coming. I know it's a very busy time to come right after Shabbos Hagadol before Yom Tov of Pesach. Yehuda, shkoyach Yehuda for coming. Naftali. Naftali, how are you? Okay. So, what I'd like to do this morning is share with you not just the divrei Torah on the Haggadah, but using the Haggadah as a prism to view the events of world history. That the Haggadah should be a lens for us to be Haggadah should be a lens for us to be able to understand and interpret the events of history and the events that affect the Jewish people. Let's begin with an amazing idea from the Sefer Yeshua Is Malki. Something my father once shared with me. I think from the Haggadah of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, quoting Yeshua Is Malki. This comes from Likutei Torah of the Yeshua Is Malki. Where the Haggadah says v'hi she'amda al avoseinu v'alenu shelo echad bilvad amar alenu l'chalosenu. Not only one person stood l'chalosenu. Not only one person stood up against us to destroy us, elo sheb'chol dor vador omdim alenu l'chalosenu. Yehuda, in in your family, what tune do they use for v'hi she'amda? They they sing Shvaki? How do they sing it? V'hi she'amda al avoseinu. Which one do they sing? Yeah, that one? Do they do they do a v'hi she'amda al avoseinu? Menachem, what do they do by you? V'hi she'amda. No, v'hi she'amda. Okay.
