The Shaare Rahamim Haggada

Chapter 3: Rabbis's Message

For the past 2,250 years, the Jewish Nation has been celebrating the holiday of Pesah, referred to as Passover.  Pesah commemorates both our physical and spiritual redemption from the cruel and vicious nation — the Egyptians.  Upon our liberation from slavery, we merited to be forged as the Jewish Nation — Am Yisrael — by accepting the Torah and mitzvot on Mt. Sinai.  This unique privilege is not shared by any other nation in the entire world.  The Jewish People have earned an exclusive and intimate relationship with Hashem through their observance of Torah and mitzvot.  Each year, as we celebrate Pesah, we are reminded to reinforce our faith and commitment to Hashem.  At our Seder the Haggadah serves as the main vehicle for Klal Yisrael to reach its ultimate understanding of our past history and current responsibilities. It is our hope and prayer that this special Haggadah will aid the reader to reinforce his bond to Hashem and mitzvot as we celebrate our holiday of redemption. 

אין לך בן חורין אלא מי שעוסק בתורה ובמצוות

May we merit seeing the Final Redemption and the coming of Mashiah soon.  Amen. Hag Sameiah Rabbi Shlomo Churba
