On Shabbat Hagadol, the Great Shabbat before Pesach, we zoom out to see the bigger picture of Jewish history and redemption.

The four cups at the Seder reflect stages of the Exodus—but there’s a fifth cup too.

It symbolizes the coming of the Mashiach and our ultimate redemption.

Pesach isn’t just about the past—it’s about where we’re going.

Jewish history isn’t complete without Eretz Yisrael and the Geulah.

This year, let’s not forget the bigger picture.

Jewish customs aren’t just rules—they’re personal, meaningful, and often passed down through generations.

On Seder night, while halakhah gives us the structure, it’s our minhagim—our customs—that bring it to life. Each family becomes a storyteller, adding their unique voice to the larger Jewish journey.

In this clip, I share a small but special family tradition: lifting my pinky during Kiddush. It may seem simple, but it’s deeply symbolic and woven into our mesorah.

What personal customs does your family hold onto during Pesach? A To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE

You can choose to be Bechar- chosen, or Barach-to flee.

Hashem chose us to receive the Torah and bring light to the world.

Each of us has a unique mission in this story — one that began in Egypt and continues today.

In every generation, we are called to see ourselves as if we left Egypt. This isn’t just a memory. It’s a calling.

Join the Jewish story. Step into your role. And find the light along the way.

Dayenu — it would have been enough.

In this video, we dive into the meaning behind this powerful song from the Passover Seder.

It’s more than a catchy tune — it’s a deep expression of gratitude.

Dayenu teaches us to appreciate every step of the journey: from the Exodus, to receiving the Torah, to entering the Land of Israel.

Each stage is a miracle. Each process is a gift. Let’s carry that mindset with us — not just on Pesach, but every day.

The ancient cure for procrastination? Matzo.

Inspired by Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, we dive into a mystical Torah insight:

When the opportunity for a mitzvah comes, don’t delay, act like matzo.

No waiting. No rising. Just faith in motion.

This Pesach, let’s move with purpose and take that first step, before doubt gets a chance to rise.

B"H Did you know that Pharaoh might have been the first to mention Shabbat? When he refused to let the Israelites rest, he reinforced the idea that without Shabbat, time itself becomes a tyrant—enslaving people in endless labor, disconnecting them from purpose and holiness.

Shabbat isn’t just a day off; it’s the essence of freedom. It’s our weekly reminder that we’re not slaves to work, but souls with a higher calling. By keeping Shabbat, we reclaim our time, our purpose, and our connection to Hashem.

How does Shabbat help you feel free?

Who’s missing from your Seder?

Passover is a time of freedom, connection, and community. But what about the ones who aren’t at the table the “fifth child” who feels disconnected or alone?

This Seder night, let’s open our hearts and homes, reaching out to those who need it most. A kind word, an invitation, or a simple gesture can make all the difference.

Let’s use our words to uplift, inspire, and bring others closer. Because true freedom means no one is left behind. ✨

Passover teaches us something fundamental about identity and meaning.

There are two types of Jewish education: learning Torah and mitzvot, and knowing our story, the Exodus from Egypt.

In a world that emphasizes individuality, understanding our history, lineage, and shared purpose strengthens our Jewish identity.

Passover instills in our hearts a deep desire to belong—to the Jewish people, to the land of Israel, and to our divine mission:

to be a light to the nations and help bring the world to its ultimate perfection.

Compassion isn’t just about kindness, it’s about deep empathy and the desire to ease suffering.

In Hebrew, the word “rachamim” (compassion) comes from “rechem” (womb), symbolizing the nurturing care we’re meant to show others.

From the Ten Commandments to the Passover story, we see how God’s compassion guides us to care for the vulnerable, because we, too, were once strangers.

Let’s bring more compassion into your daily life!

Preparing matzah isn’t just about the physical act—it’s about being fully present, intentional, and connected.

‘Mitzvos tzrichos kavana’ teaches us that every mitzvah comes alive when we infuse it with heart and awareness. Let’s bring sacredness into our actions and deepen our connection to Hashem, others, and ourselves.
