Faith does not direct one's behavior even while it inspires one to great heights; proper behavior without faith is lacking as well. Matzah teaches us how to combine faith with everyday life.

Keep teaching - thank you!
After listening to your speech, I understand and feel good about eating matzah and keeping passover strictly. Because I live a none-religious life, Passover was becoming something foreign or dogmatic. To have open faith is a GIFT in this world.
