Pesach: Redemption through Faith
Teacher: Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller
The light of Pesach begins to shine immediately after Purim (30 days). The light of Pesach is the light of Emunah and Geulah.
Emunah is the awareness that everything comes from Hashem, and everything is good. Geulah is returning to self, being able to peel away all of the externals and getting to know oneself.
During this time of getting rid of chametz it is important to focus on what is important and what is not. Spring cleaning is wonderful but it is not Pesach cleaning. True Pesach cleaning does not have to take more then a day.
The most important thing is not to loose our emunah. The main symptom of losing our emunah is anger. The nisayon of Pesach is to say, I have emunah, this is exactly the way it is supposed to be, even if it is not the way that I want it to be.
