Pesach Sheini gives us the inner strength to turn our lives around
My older sister taught me not to use the words “off the derech” when describing kids who aren’t Torah observant at the moment. She prefers “teens on a detour in life,” or perhaps more delicately, “teens taking the scenic route.”
When I was a teen many moons ago, it was common to go through what we called “idiot years,” normally around the years of 16 and 17. Today, I warn parents that “idiot years” can begin after bar or bas mitzvah. (But they needn’t worry. It almost always gets better somewhere in their late twenties!)
How can we breathe new life into a story we’ve heard so many times?
The mitzvah of telling the story of Yetzias Mitzrayim is very simple but also one of the most difficult to fulfill properly. How many times can we tell the same story without losing interest? We think, well, it’s mainly for the kids. But the Haggadah says that even if we were all great talmidei chachamim, we would still need to tell the story. The reason is that Yetzias Mitzrayim is the foundation of our emunah.
Rav Yechezkel Levenstein ztz”l was known to be “obsessed” with Yetzias Mitzrayim. For him, the story of leaving Mitzrayim was a wellspring of emunah. And it can be for us as well if we bring it to life. But still the question remains: How can we breathe new life into a story we’ve heard so many times?
