were people still standing everywhere. Just unbelievable how Am Yisrael loves to learn and loves to prepare and loves to be connected to the Torah. It's just extraordinary. So, >> [clears throat] >> today I want to try and analyze something with you cuz I think the perot of this are extraordinary. What is the holiday of Pesach really about? What is the importance of it? Why is it so central? Why do we do all these is it so central? Why do we do all these mitzvot zecher l'tziat Mitzrayim? Why is it so much a cornerstone of Jewish belief and Jewish practice? It seems like it's a part of something but not all of something until you start noticing that everything that we do practically is zecher l'tziat Mitzrayim. So, what is that what is that kind of trying to communicate? So, let me read you a very beautiful part of the Haggadah if I can ever find it. You know these beautiful Haggadahs that have so many interpretations but you can't many interpretations but you can't actually find the Haggadah part of the Haggadah. No? Anyone else have one of those? Like you're like, "Okay, you're in the middle of reading velo asa bahem shifatin." Turn the page. Turn the page. Turn the page. Turn the page until everyone gets bored and falls asleep. Okay. So, >> [clears throat] >> if I can't find it in here, that's perfectly okay. The bit that I think that I want to cover is something that everybody here knows very very well. The the Haggadah says as follows, keneged arba'a banim dibra Torah.
