     "You know, when G-d says to Moshe Rabbenu "I want you to take theYiddelim out of Egypt'"...he "says 'You know my brother Aaron can do itbetter."...
     "You know...what a slave is?  A slave is always somebody whothinks, ''Oh, I don't think I can do it, it's too  much for me, maybethere's somebody better who can do it.'" "As long as we were slaves inEgypt, even Moshe Rabbenu was" a little bit enslaved. 
     "You know, after you come out from Egypt, when you have a signfrom Heaven that you can do something, you just do it -- you don't evenask questions." [2]

     "The world thinks 'holy' means that you're far away.  But...theholy Izbhititzer says...'holy' means you're really there...
	" So "G-d is called 'Holy'" because "He's always there when theyneed Him."...
	"You know what the 'Holy Yid' * is?  A holy Jew is someone who'smamash always there when you need him." 
	"Then the Izbhitzer says... 'holy' means 'simcha'....'Holy' meansyou do it with all your heart." [3--4]
	"A good friend,"..."a holy friend" is someone who, when you askhim to do you a favor, doesn't argue, he's right there, and simcha --he wants so much to help. [4]
      
     "A holy person is somebody who does not waste time on unimportantthings...'holy' means that you have a sense of what is important inthis world and what is not."[4]...But every one of us, in our ownprivate life" is "so concerned with unimportant things."[5]

	"The Arizel says Chametz is anger." Anger, like chametz [leavenedbread] starts small, but it blows itself up bigger and bigger [[likebread rising]]. [5] "Matza is mamash the way it is.  
     And you know, most anger in the world comes because we'recompletely divorced from the reality.  Because nobody" really " hatesyou," nobody "really wants to say bad to you."[6]

	At the end of the Seder, the part about Eliahu ha Navi, in myhouse, every person in the house takes a candle in their hand, andwalks up to the door, waiting for Eliahu ha Navi.  And "you know, inthose few minutes when you're standing by the door, Elaihu ha Navi ismamash coming.  So you can ask him anything in the world at thatmoment.  All the gates of Heavens are open."[8--9]

	"A slave is somebody who has no time for his children.   
     "And you now what, Seder night is the first night when you'refree, mamash, we're spending with our children.
	"I just mamash bless you that your parents yould have more timefor you, you should have time for your parents.  Are you taking outtime to be with your parents also? ...
	"The holiness of Yiddishkeit is that parents and children are sogood to each other." [9]
