The Mystical Matzah

Careful analysis of seeming discrepancies in the Exodus narrative about matzah makes the case for a deeper meaning. In this lesson two unique dimensions of Matzah are introduced and explained.

To explain the deeper meaning and immense potential found in the Matzah, the Alter Rebbe first depicts the earliest primordial spiritual world of chaos (Tohu). Discover how knowledge of this latent spiritual reality can completely revolutionize the way we perceive the seemingly mundane act of eating.

In the lesson, the Alter Rebbe shows us why our unique Passover unleavened crackers are the perfectly constructed substance to convey the spiritual nourishment that fortifies faith and enhances our soul’s operating system. You'll see how the consumption of Matzah in pre-Exodus Egypt prepared us for Divine Revelation and miraculous redemption. This enables us to appreciate the amazing essence of Shemurah Matzah, which is uniquely suited to stimulate the sublime innocence of childhood that resides within each and every one of us!

This class uncovers the Chassidic meanings of the Biblical commandment: “You must be vigilant regarding the Matzos,” and explains the spiritual difference between the pre-Exodus Matzah that required hyper-vigilant guarding, and the post-redemption non-rising version which developed upon experiencing Divine Revelation. Finally we conclude with remarkable insight into the meaning of Matzah eaten at our Seder in today’s day and age!
