Below is a collection of Pesach ideas: why we have a cos Eliyahu, how we became Jewish (from being the gentile descendents of Adam and Chava), how law makes us free (zeman cheiruteinu), why we make a chaburah for the seder (the difference between the meal that began our journey into Mitzrayim (that of the brothers after they threw Yosef into the pit) and the meal that we must eat as we leave (the seder), that our mouths are the principle vessel for the mitzvot of the seder and how to make them ready for the job, why matzah is called lechem oni and why we eat an egg at the seder, and finally, why the yontiff is called Pesach and how we might access the energy of Passing-over our prerequisites to accomplish spiritual heights on Seder night. Chag Kasher v'Samayach!!!
