The week of Passover does not live in the shadow of the Seder. It is quite a crescendo towards the opening of the sea which marks the seventh day of Passover. And from there, towards the gift of Torah at Sinai, seven weeks after the Seder. In the Seder we remember that the central opening of the sea, playing with the numbers along with the teachers of the Mishnah, to determine the extent of wounds received in Egypt that the Egyptians and the sea. The proportion is known and is of one to five. The plagues of Egypt are the 'finger of D.', those of the sea ' the big hand'.
Rav Mordechai Elon
shlita explains that the difference between the finger and hand is the difference between the particular and general. Each plague of Egypt is a singular event. It is the sea, before the total defeat of the system-Egypt, one can understand hand, the set of events. You can have a macroscopic view as far as possible in human terms. It is the sea when Israel no longer sees the jailer on duty, but the entire Egypt che prima insegue e poi annega, che la visione della redenzione si fa più chiara.
Il Midrash dice che ' vide una serva sul mare quello che non vide neppure Ezechiele.' Spiega Rav Elon che la visione dei profeti è appunto la visione della totalità. La visione generale. Sul mare il più semplice degli ebrei riesce ad uscire dalla visione dei singoli eventi dalla quale siamo così affascinati e riesce a scorgere l'intera immagine.
Il Rebbe di Kozk, con la sua particolare pungenza commenta che nonostante ciò ' la serva resta una serva ed Ezechiele resta Ezechiele'. Spiega Rav Elon che non basta l'evento una tantum. I profeti sono such because they persist in viewing this status. A glimpse, though important, can not fill the gap continued work on our souls. Having witnessed a unique moment of redemption does not render the servant more than Ezekiel.
are particularly high these days, where everyone can reach levels usually far away. The real test of the party starts here. You bring in the sanctity of the Seder in the newspaper that if we really understand 'this Passover' has left an indelible mark on our souls.
is in this ancient recipe, the recipe of the supremacy of the newspaper, brought forth in a difficult and fascinating Seder in Bnei Berak, which our Masters have paved the road to the Final Redemption.
