The four kosos
Chazal instituted the Mitzvah of the four Kosos which represent the four terms used for the redemption v’Hotzeisi v’Hotzalti v’Goalti v’Lakachti. What is the significance of the four terms for the redemption? Why wasn’t one term for the redemption sufficient?
The Maharal says (Gevuras Hashem 30) that each term for the redemption represented a different aspect of our redemption. We were first redeemed from the affliction of the backbreaking work that the Egyptians imposed on us, however we still remained servants to Mitzrayim. Subsequently we were redeemed from servitude of Mitzrayim but we still were sojourners in a land that was not ours. We were then completely released from Mitzrayim but we had not yet entered into the covenant of Hashem Yisborach. When we entered into the covenant of Hashem at the time of Matan Torah that was the fourth and final step of the Geulah Shele’imah from Mitzrayim.

Unencumbered
New York State Honors the Rebbe
Review of “Vaxxed” deleted From Huffington Post
JTA reports on the Conservative Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, which ruled that eating kitniyot was permissible for its members.
In its ruling, the committee also pointed to “our inclination in our day to present an accessible Judaism unencumbered by unneeded prohibitions [and] more easily able to participate in the culture that surrounds us.”

Unencumbered? Is that what Judaism is about?

Terrorism or Zionism
Iran vows to defend Muslim nations against terrorism, Israel
Ecuador earthquake of 7.8 magnitude kills dozens
Many Muslims Danced After The Brussels Attacks, Claims Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon
The Even Ezra (See Peleh Yoetz “DaAga”) says “HeAvar Ayin” the past is gone. “HaAsid Adayin” the future has not arrived yet. “V’HaHoveh K’Heref Ayin” and the present only takes a split second. Therefore he concludes, “DaAga Minayin?” Why worry, nothing actually matters in the long term. Rav Simcha Zisel Brodie Rosh Yeshiva of Chevron says this sums up the meaning of slavery. A person whose whole life is about caring only about himself and caring only about the moment is a slave. He is trapped in “the moment”.
A free person, he says, cares not only about himself but his concern traverses the entire world, the entire creation. He lives not only the present but also the past and the future. On Pesach we get to exhibit our freedom. Our spirit of freedom soars as we immerse ourselves in years long gone by. We care about the past and we relive it. Our heart rises and falls as we retell the story of the Galus and Geula of Am Yisroel. “Chayav Adam Lir’os Es Atzmo K’Ilu Hu Yatza MiMitztrayim.” By truly feeling as if you have left Mitzrayim you have captured the essence of the seder. You have freed yourself from your own bondage from the slavery of self. (Hagadah Shai L’Torah – Brisk)
