The days of Our Freedom Festival are approaching, when we must remember once again the great event in the birth of our history, when our people were freed from slavery in Egypt to receive the Torah as free men.<\/p>\n
Memory and imagination are abilities that allow us to connect with a past event, and in doing so, relive or experience the feelings and mental states we felt at the time. It is only physically that human beings are bound and chained to time and place; mentally, there are no spatial or temporal barriers, and the greater the supremacy of spiritual force over physical force, the more closely one can connect with a past event and better experience its message and inspiration.<\/p>\n
Regarding the efficacy of remembrance, our Sages, commenting on the verse, \u00bbAnd these days should be remembered and accomplished\u201d (Esther 9:28), said that only after these days are remembered is their cause realized in Heaven. In other words, the same Divine influences and blessings that brought about such miraculous events in ancient times are revived through the process of remembrance.<\/p>\n
This is one of the reasons we have been commanded to remember the liberation from Egypt in every generation, every day; it is also incumbent upon the Jew to see himself as if he personally had been delivered from Egypt that day, rescued and completely freed. For every day the Jew must practice Yetziat Mitzraim (\u00abMitzraim\u00bb in the sense of \u00bbMetzarim\u00bb (limits)) by escaping material and physical distractions, obstacles, and limitations imposed on his spirituality by the \u00abphysical body and animalistic tendencies.\u00bb.<\/p>\n
The counterpart to the Liberation from Egypt is therefore the detachment of the Divine Soul from its material confinement, and it has to be experienced every day, constantly, in order to enjoy true freedom \u2013 freedom from slavery, freedom from pain \u2013 both in a material and spiritual sense.<\/p>\n
When a Jew attains such inner freedom\u2014an achievement possible only with the help of God, Who delivered our people from Egypt, and through a life guided by Torah and mitzvot\u2014he is, in this sense, freed from spiritual anguish\u2014the immense inner conflict referred to as bondage and suffering of a material nature. Then, and only then, can he enjoy true freedom, a feeling of complete harmony and peace of mind, which is the prelude to freedom and peace on a broader scale.<\/p>\n
With the blessing of a kosher and happy Passover, and may we soon enjoy the true freedom that will come to us with our Complete and True Redemption, through our Righteous Messiah.<\/p>\n
