Our Story Begins With Yachatz
Loss of the vav.
Disconnected from the Tzaddik, we descend to captivity.
Like the luchos.
First the vav flew off, then they fell.
There’s no Judaism without the Tzaddik.
No Torah either.
No connection to Hashem.
Sippur yetzias Mitzrayim purifies and connects like Sefiras HaOmer.
Our captivity ends with the afikomin.
Connected to the Tzaddik.
All other flavors are forgotten.

Bedikas Chometz
Is like סיפור יציאת מצרים.
כל היד המרבה לבדוק…משבחת
Chometz becomes avoda zara on Pesach.
Absolute contradiction to Avraham Avinu.
ובני ישראל יוצאים ביד רמה
We rush into bedikas chometz, not out of it.
Abominable Chometz | Shomer Yisroel | Simon Says Geula
Past Acharon Shel Pesach Shiurim
Chatzos Kollels have become popular in recent years. Only the Zohar emphasizes the importance of this practice. It’s repeated there dozens of times.
With the haskama of Rav Moshe Shapiro zt”l I encourage people to learn this way themselves whenever possible.
When we can’t, next best is to sponsor someone who can. The ideal subject of learning after chatzos is Kabbala.
$1500 will sponsor a talmid chochom learning kabbala in Yeshivas Rashbi for a month.
Twenty years ago a colleague in the Mir discovered a number of talmidei chachomim struggling financially who refused to receive tzedaka. He outsmarted them.
They were invited to join a Shabbos kollel paying them nicely for learning they were doing anyway wherever they want. Donors don’t know the recipients, and the recipients don’t even know they’re receiving tzedaka. This is the Stealth Kollel.
Stealthily supporting thirty world class talmidei chachomim learning in Yerushalayim. The most ideal form of tzedaka, as stipulated in Bava Basra 9a.
There are no expenses and no advertising. 100% tzedaka.
Sponsoring one avrech for a month is $1000. But donations of any size are warmly welcomed.
