Now studyingParashat Ha-Shavua, the weekly Torah portion
You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread - eating
unleavened
bread for seven days, as I have commanded you - at the set time
of the month of Aviv,
for in the month of Aviv you went forth from Egypt. (Leviticus
7:12)
This is the bread of afiction that our ancestors ate in the land
of Mitzrayim.All who are hungry, let them enter and eat. All who
are in need, let them come
celebrate Pesach. Now we are here. Next year in the land of
Israel. Now we are
enslaved. Next year we will be free. (Passover Haggadah)
"You shall observe the [Feast of] Unleavened Bread
[ha-matzot]...(Exodus 12:17) Rabbi Josiah said: Do not read it this
way, but You shall observe the
commandments (ha-mitzvot, spelled the same but with different
vocalization). Just
as you should not be slow when making matzah, lest it leaven, so
also you should not
allow a mitzvah to leaven. If a mitzvah comes your way, do it
immediately.
(Mekhilta Pisha 9)
The obsessive search and destruction of hametz from our homes
hasspiritual as well as ritual overtones. Yeast came to symbolize
arrogance because the
bread raised itself above the level of matzah though it was only
lled with pockets of
hot air. (The Family Participation Haggadah:A Different
Night)
The essential mitzvot of Passover are eating matzah and avoiding
chametz.But beyond their denition as two types of food, our
commentators nd many symbolic
meanings in hametzand matzah.
How did you feel as Pesach approached - did you look forward to
or dread the days
of matzah? Do you regard matzah as a symbol of oppression or
freedom?
