The Passover Story They Didn't Tell You in Sunday School (Part 2)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Moshe Chaim Katz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

began yesterday our whole new vision of understanding the haggadah not simply as a commemoration a remembrance a fourth of july experience of the passover exodus from egypt because most of us if not all of us have never been to egypt we don't feel any relationship to egypt there's no flights to egypt and what does something that happened three thousand three hundred plus years three thousand three hundred plus years ago have to do with me but we seem to be somehow meshugging about leaving egypt as if there's some psychological complex that we can't get over after all these years so what's really going on and this is the one thing that almost every single person has no matter what your affiliation is everybody has some type of a passover experience passover seder it's interesting even the other nations of the world seem to be really into passover to be really into passover christians there's a connection to the passover experience and it seems to form something so fundamental to the jew but the question is what is that and why specifically we so much sugar about spending so much time getting ready for it as well and nobody gets ready for anything like we do for passover we are my wife's been talking about passover the last six months we haven't had pretzels in our house for
