Our Beautiful Shabbos comes out this year on Chol Ha Moed Pesach Passover . How Special Is Shabbos and now also at this time can we remember How HaShem Freed us Jews From Mitzrayim With HaShem's Ever Loving Care . At this time , we can come close To HaShem , as we should always be and the very fact of us getting our physical freedom from Egypt By HaShem on Pesach , can culminate in us freeing ourselves totally Physically , to let our Neshoma soar up To HaShem And Be Totally Surrounded By HaShem's Light , freeing ourselves to serve HaShem in totality , as we were to do in Gan Eiden , just like the World To Come Olam Habah Will Be , when we will return To HaShem's Closeness In Love . The Torah reading for this Holy Shabbos Pesach is in Shemos Exodus 33 : 12 - 34 : 26 and the Maftir is in Bamidbar Numbers 28 : 19 - 25 and the Haftorah for this portion of Shabbos Chol Ha Moed of Pesach is in Yechezkel Ezekiel 37 : 1 - 14 . And seeing that this is Shabbos Chol Ha Moed , we also read Shir Ha Shirim Song Of Songs written by Shlomo Ha Melech , a beautiful writing of Love For HaShem , Who Showed us His Love In Freeing us From bondage To freedom at this time of Passover , Bringing us Under HaShem's Wings Of Love Of Torah . HaShem Brought us Jews To Him With So Much Love . We had come into Egypt originally when Yosef , Yaakov's son who had been sold into slavery by his brothers , had been brought to Egypt and after first working for Potiphar ( his name by the Egyptians meaning ' the mutilated one ' for he no longer could have children ) , Yosef had been wrongly accused , due to Potiphar's evil wife Zulaicha desiring and chasing him day after day and when she finally realized that he would never succumb to her , then she made false charges against Yosef that had him put for many years in prison only able at night times , to allow him out to still serve in Potiphar's home where she still continued to harass him . Yosef , Through HaShem's Intervention Only Came Out Of prison when he , Through HaShem , interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and was appointed viceroy of Egypt . With The Help Of HaShem , Yosef saved the country from the years of famine with his plans , Enlightened By HaShem which also caused his Father and brothers to then come and settle in the land of Goshen in Egypt ( an area originally given to Sarah by a previous Pharaoh when Avram and Sarai had gone there ) and so , we as a Jewish People came to Mitzrayim . A new Pharaoh arose in Egypt ( some opinions state that it was the same Pharaoh , but with changed ideals to suit and curry favour with his advisors ) after the passing of Yosef and his brothers and that entire generation and the Egyptians quickly and conveniently ignored and forgot How Much HaShem and Yosef and us Jews had done for the country and so , to allay their concern that we might join their enemies , Pharaoh and the Egyptians , knowing our ways of Chessed of giving kindness and being charitable , deceitfully advertised a new building program that they made out would be a great help to the country , knowing we as Jews would always volunteer to help . Pharaoh himself even went out in the beginning of this 'supposed project ' to show how important a task it was in order to advertise this deceitful plan and went so far as to even take a spade in his hand as if to make a show that he was also digging and getting involved in the deceitful project . Pharaoh had Egyptians also volunteer , who every day would get less and less , until only Jews were left at the work and to work areas that really could never get finished in swampy land and the Jews found day after day how the Egyptians dwindled and we Jews suddenly found ourselves under whipping taskmasters who were instructed to work us day and night in the fields and in their homes . Men were savagely beaten and killed . The plan was to destroy our menfolk Chas Ve Shalom and take our women for the dirty Egyptians and their debauchery and also to try and deceitfully prevent husbands and wives from being together and procreating our Jewish Nation In Holiness . These evil Egyptians went so far as to throw all our male babies that were born ( including some of their own ) , into the Nile river , when their astrologers said a redeemer would come to us and would be destroyed by water . How they read this wrong ( for the only water that had affected Moishe was the decree later in his life at the Waters of Meriva when he struck the rock ) and so , beautiful new born Moishe Avigdor was put in the Nile to make the Egyptians think that they had thrown the redeemer into the Nile , which was obviously not the case . This Moishe grew up to be HaShem's Chosen Messenger , for Moishe's actions and morals , holiness and caring throughout his life led him on the path to leadership , for he showed that even when one little sheep , one little lamb runs away , he would care even for that one little lamb and go out to search for it and when finding it , pat it ever so softly and pick it up and carry it ever so gently on his shoulders , back to the other sheep . Such a holy humble man , showed Hashem how if he can be so caring of one little sheep , one little lamb , how much more so would he care For HaShem's Chosen People Israel , Who Are HaShem's sheep , Hashem's flock , HaShem's little lambs . Such a holy humble caring Jew , HaShem Saw , must be the one HaShem Chooses to lead us Jews out of Mitzrayim , His Jewish people Israel , His Flock , His little lambs . It was on this Pesach Yom Yom Festival , After Ten Plagues That HaShem Sent Against Egypt , That HaShem Freed us Jews From the bondage of Egypt and its physicalities And HaShem Brought us our Pesach Time Of Freedom . HaShem Instructed us on this day to tell our children Of The Exodus From Mitzrayim and so on the Seder nights , we do just that , on our Passover Seders Of Pesach Passover . Such A night That we had our First Holy Meal like our First Seder Night And Were Freed , we are to never forget , The Time When HaShem Took His Legions ( Us Jews ) Out Of Egypt . Such is the day of our Passover . This period And Full Festival Of Pesach starts on the night before we went free and we commemorate right up until the time we were not ever to be bothered by the Egyptians when the Egyptians drowned in the Yam Suf . That was the end of them enslaving us at that time . HaShem's Final straw with Egypt When His Time Of our Redemption From Egypt Came , Was When HaShem Saw how Pharaoh was going to bathe in the blood of our murdered children , some of those of our people that had not been put into their walls among bricks . How cruel and low these Egyptians were . Egypt was called Mitzrayim , which means ' borders , ' for once a person came to Egypt , they were locked in and could not leave , unless Pharaoh gave permission . These Egyptians were the lowest negativity of a people at the time , the lowest in morals . Thus Pesach is also a reminder to free ourselves from any form of negative behaviour , not just the Chometz in bread , but also the Chometz of arrogant verbosity and lack of humility within ourselves and our actions , for we must always be holy and humble , humbly following HaShem And His Holy Torah Commandments Only . HaShem Asked us to mark our doorposts , Even Though HaShem Knew Full Well Who was Jewish , but Left it up to us even then to choose HaShem and not foreign ways Chas Ve Shalom . The Unleavened Bread Matzah that we took with us out of Egypt , not having time for the dough to rise , was so precious to us , that we kept it close to us on our shoulders , yet the valuable silver and gold , we left on our donkeys . The idea of Leaven , that we are to remove from our homes is also a lesson to remove from ourselves ego and arrogance and to be ever humble , as I mentioned , Before HaShem And HaShem's Torah Commandments . The whole way of Egypt was one of leaven arrogance and that is the path away from HaShem . Thus we are to choose HaShem and so must we remove any trace of arrogance that leads to self love and idol worshiping , Chas Ve Shalom . This night of Passover , throughout history , is a night related to our freedom from enemies . As an example , it was on this night that in Megillat Esther , haman had come into the courtyard to hurt us , by wanting to talk to the king about killing Mordechai , but on this night , our conditions there in Shushan were turned around and haman found himself having to humble himself to his enemy . HaShem , On This Night , Turned our future Into one of rejoicing . Everything we do on the Passover Seder , like talking of our freedom as a nation and leaning to the left , is allied to also acting as a free people Only Under HaShem , For It Is Only Under HaShem That one can Truly Be Free . We remember on Passover the bitterness of our slavery in Egypt when we eat the Maror , the bitter herbs at the Seder . This is our Festival Of Freedom Under HaShem . Thus we also think forward to The Final Redemption when we put a part of the Matzah in hiding as the Afikoman , that comes out after the meal , to remind us of The Final Redemption . We also remember Eliyahu Ha Navi , who we pour a glass of wine or grape - juice for , hoping that he will usher in Moshiach and the Final Redemption that will take us Closer To HaShem . We drink four cups of wine to commemorate The Four Orders Made By HaShem In The Holy Torah to do with us being told to leave Egypt . We remember on this night Other Miracles That HaShem Performed For us , like Avraham overcoming the enemy , for it was on this Pesach Passover night in time that Og came and told Avram that Lot had been captured by the four kings against five and Og found Avram baking Matzah so it was Pesach night in time ( Og got his name from the word Uga which means cakes for when he came to Avram , Avram was busy baking them ) , even though Pesach had not yet come with our freedom from Egypt , Avraham kept the Torah even before It Was Given . It was also on Pesach night in time that the three Angels came to Avraham and Sarah , one of the Angels Malachim Michael to tell them of the birth of Yitzchak , who it is also thought was born on Pesach night and the other two Angels , the Malach Angel Gavriel who was , By HaShem's Hand to be the messenger of destruction for Sodom , Amorah , Admah and Zeboiim and the Malach Angel Rafael to take out Lot and his family from the city before the destruction . Also on Pesach Passover night in time , HaShem Sent Avimelech a dream not to touch Avram's wife Sarai . It was also on Passover night in time , That HaShem Warned Lavan not to hurt Yaakov . It was on Passover night in time that Yaakov wrestled with the Angel Samael till daybreak , just before meeting up with Eisav . It was on Passover night in time That HaShem Sent the Plague of the Slaying of the firstborn of Egypt and there were many firstborns in Egypt as the Egyptians had many firstborns , even among husbands and wives who were not faithful to their partners and so had many firstborns among their unfaithful relationships . It was on Passover Pesach night in time That HaShem Did destroy Sisera , our enemy . It was on Passover night in time , that Sannacherib's plans were frustrated . It was on Pesach Passover night in time that Daniel was given his vision of what he was shown . It was on Passover Pesach night in time that Belshazar was killed . It was on Passover Pesach night in time that Daniel was saved from the lions den . As I mentioned earlier, on Passover Pesach night in time , haman's evil was turned back on him , when he came to the King Achasvuerus to ask for Mordechai to be killed And HaShem Turned it around so that haman would have to parade Mordechai through the streets of Shushan . ( Seder Book Haggadah SAZF Appeal ) . It was thus also on Passover Pesach night in time That HaShem Disturbed the sleep and night of Achasvuerus , that Achasvuerus ended up asking for the annals and was told how Mordechai had saved him from Bigthan and Teresh , that same night haman came in to try hurt Mordechai and it was turned around on haman's own head . Yes , this Passover Night is a very Holy night On Which HaShem Has Many Times Throughout our Jewish History Saved our people . Yes , Passover Night is a very holy night and Yom Tov Festival and now on Chol Ha Moed Pesach , very Holy for it is on Shabbos . HaShem Wants our closeness and we are constantly reminded of this In HaShem's Holy Torah . On Passover night and throughout The Holy Passover Yom Tov Festival and on Chol Ha Moed Pesach , we remember That HaShem Took us Out Of Mitzrayim And How HaShem Keeps Saving us . This is the night of our Redemption . So as we sit this Holy Shabbos and Pesach Chol Ha Moed and as we sit on the First Nights Of Pesach Passover reading our Haggados at The Holy Seders , may we truly give ourselves over to true freedom , by turning completely To HaShem And Following HaShem In Total Forever Eternal Love . I wish Most Eternally And Forever Beloved HaShem With Ever And Eternal Forever Love , A Very Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh And Chag Pesach Sameach and Moadim Le Simcha with Forever Love and to all of my fellow Jews , a Very Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chag Pesach Sameach and Moadim Le Simcha with love a Gutten Moed . Blessed Shabbos to all of HaShem's Creation with love .
