Start the Seder from almost the END - Portion ofVayikra
Another 9 days before the BLESSING of looking for our Chametz
Another 10 days before the Seder
and
This week's portion is Vayikra - begonning of the 3rd book of the 5 Books of Moses
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach quoted the Ropshitzer Rebbe that THIS PORTION is traditionally where CHILDREN should START TO STUDY THE BIBLE
for 2 symbolic reasons:
The word VAYIKRA is written in the Totah with a LITTLE alef - not full sized
(reminding us to teach the children)
and
the word ALEF spelled in Hebrew alef lamed fay (אלף)
is the mystical connection to the Song of Songs which says
"open the door for me (a LITTLE) (my sister-my bride)" - starting with those very same letters!
So we OPEN the Torah for Little People with showing them this LITTLE ALEF
teaching them (AND ALL OF US)
to read the Torah with LOTS OF QUESTIONS like CHILDREN
and to
OPEN THE GATES to G-D AND HOLINESS with just a LITTLE holiness at the Seder
HOW?
When we OPEN THE door for ELIJAH THE PROPHET -
and ask G-d
SEND US A LITTLE HOLINESS THIS PASSOVER!!!
so Don't forget
KOSHER WINE FOR THE SEDER
MATZOS and CHAROSET (apples and walnuts)
AND some BITTER ROMAINE or HORSERADISH
and a NICE CUP FOR ELIJAH the PROPHET
and don't forget the HAGADA's
Love and Shabbat from Israel
