1)"To be free from Egypt {Mitzraim} you have to be free first ofall physicaly...but you also have to be free spiritually."
  
2) "What is so holy about the children of Abraham, Issac andJacob?  That we want the world so much to be good, that we realyforget so fast how bad the world is."

3) "I don't know if you know but as Moses walked out he didn'ttake out only the Jews.  He took out all the salves of Egypt."

4) "If you think the world can exist without Mt. Sinai, Mt. Sinaihas no meaning.  Because G-d only does what is necessary." {Cf.Spinoza, Ethics  -- sa.}

5) Midrash?:  Joseph had collected very much gold.  He divided itinto 3 parts.  One part has not yet been found.  "One part wasfound by Korach, therefore he was so rich." 

6) Despite all the signs from heaven, Pharoh never learns.  Evenafter the people of Israel were returned to their land, someopponents never learn.

EXCERPTS ON PESACH AND OMER FROM \BOOK6B 1/30/95

< =sh76051a
So Moshe Rabbenu went to the Nile on Pesach morning, and he was 
yelling out, he says, Josef, we're leaveing.  And suddenly you
know the coffin came up from the Nile, and they carried it the
whole time.  All the 40 years, Josef haTzadik's bones were carried
with them.  The holy Ark -- at that time, until we had the 10

And you know, as much as we understand, the gates of heaven are
open on Pesach, right, redemption.  You know what that means, that
the gates of heaven are open, right?  Why?  Like never before. 
Because if we are free that means the gates of heaven are  free.  
{300}
Everything that happened is free, is open.
 
And basically the Shemi Shmuel says, something very strong to
remember, that the whole month of Nisan, (last month), of??
Pesach, is the month of all of Israel, of community, together, and
this month is the month of the individual.
 
The first Pesach is the redemption, to become holy.

So basically, I want to share this with you, the first Pesach the
question is Ma Nishtama.  We ask all kinds of deep questions about
redemption, how to be wholly, how to a yiddele. 

The first Pesach in a very strange way we don't have to bring
anything up here with us.  On the contrary, you purify yourself,
you get rid of it.

And again remember, the first Pesach is, I'm still on the level of
fixing my own house.   Nothing went wrong with me really,
personally, it's only, all of Israel were slaves, all of Israel's
coming out, everybody's fixing his house.  

Why do we eat matza?  Matza is such a high bread, such high food
, because everything went wrong in the world because of food.
And again -- because we spoke so much at Pesach, I just want to
say it in a nutshell.  So Pesach night we're fixing everything. 
So Pesach night we're fixing the whole world on the level of the
world, of the community, all of Israel, and me being part of all
of Israel.

You see Pesach night, I'm not bringing down the light of Pesach
with my questions.   I'm asking why the light is here, and I'm
asking in order to get deeper into the light.

Pesach everybody knows is on the level of
the first shabbos.  {HEBREW}.  Everybody knows this.  When G-d
took us about of Egypt,  was on the level of the creation of the
world.  We didn't ask Him.  G-d has promised he'll take us out of
Egypt.                                  
----------------------------------------------------------------
< =SH76051B

why do we	need to search the house before Pesach.  You were sayinga whole??	Ishbitzer tora, in order to find out, in order to lookinto the	premises of my soul to find out what's wrong with me.

 Just to give you a taste of what the Kallover was like.  One
Seder night, he didn't go to the Seder, he's standing by the door,
waiting waiting waiting.  Suddenly a carriage came, with 3 men and
four women.  And the heilige Kallover ran out, and he kissed the
three men, he kissed the 4 women.  And they were talking for a few
minutes.   And he went to the Seder.

EXCERPTS ON _OMER FROM \BOOK6B

< =SH76051A

Right now between Peasch and shavuos, you know what G-d is
teaching us, all those which they taught us in the 9 months before
we were born.
And I tell you, I want to say something very strong.
You know who's opening the gates of those holy teachings of the 9
months.  Ma nishtana, Seder night, when the children begin to ask
the question.  This is where they open the gates for us.  That G-d
should teach us [consciously] what He taught us in those 9 months,
then we were created and we forgot it.  We lost touch with it. 
{600}

And you know what we are learning between Pesach and Shavuos.  We
are learning, now only we have to count the dates, we are
realizing that unless every moment is, I wouldn't be ready for Mt.
Sinai. [ELLIPSIS?] 
Why my soul had to be right now in this world.  My rebbele can't
tell me, and no book in the world can tell me that.  This is the
teaching that G-d gives me during the 9 months of my being
created.  Which is the highest torah.

[THIS TAPE INCLUDES A BEAUTIFUL NIGGUN FOR COUNTING THE OMER. CHECK WITH BEN-ZION SOLOMON.]

So now between Pesach and shavuos, we are
learning the awesomeness every day, every minute.
And I want to say something strong, I tell you a lot of times.  
Between Pesach and Shauvos we're learning the awesomeness of
receivng light every day.   ______ G-d back to the holy Temple,

The holiness of Pesach is that G-d jumped over [our] past [sins]
Matza is G-d's light reaching my kishkes.
Why is it hard work [at the Seder] -- because I have to make
myself into a vessel for hesed sh'b' hesed [the Sefira with which
we begin the counting of the Omer on the evening after the (first)
day of Pesach].

 I just thought of something, gevaldt.  You know after we count
the Omer, we say mamash,  [ELLIPSIS? -- CHECK TEXT]  (taylaychu,b'chukosy, taylaychu, Walk, in my precepts, walk)  Do you knowwhat B'chukosy is?  It's the deepest depths, right.

 You know what's the deepest thing about 
Counting The Omer'?  If you miss one day, you can't fix it.  UntilShavuos, until David HaMelech... I really don't know there is sucha thing as doing Tshuva.
 You see, we are so accustomed in doing Tshuva, we don't even

with you.  And this is "Sh'lo nohagu kavod zeh b'zeh".  Because do

friendship.  I can bring you back where you lost it.  And you
never know who's the one who will bring you back.  You never know

know which is your friend who's Bracha will bring you back.
