'Reb Ahrele' taught that everything in this world, every aspect of reality, has within it a pnimius and a chitzonius, an inner and outer essence. The word for the wicked son, (Rasha) is spelled in hebrew ר-שׁ-ע. The outer letters are ר-ע which spell רע - evil. That is what this person is - but only on the OUTSIDE! The שׁ, which is the letter on the inside, has three branches, each representing one of the 3 forefathers of the Jewish People, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  And that is the \"pnimius,\" the INNER manifestation of this holy so-called \"wicked\" Jew.  Despite his evil wayward lifestyle and attitude, in the merit of the Avos/forefathers, he is also included in this redemptive relationship with God.  Even the wicked son is filled with heritage and positivity.  </p>\n\n<p>Reb Shlomo says, do what the Haggadah says to do to the Rasha, strike his teeth/Shin[av] – his שׁ – his inner manifestation – agitate, stimulate and arouse the Shin, namely, the awareness of our forfathers to awaken the body to the existence of the Soul.</p>\n\n\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach zt'l", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 266, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Is he really THAT wicked? | Passover haggadah by Derek Gormin", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Based on many years of using the Maxwell house Haggadahs, in 2012 finally did it, we broke down and created our own personalized Haggadah. This year is Gormin Freedom Files 2.0. This haggadah is complete with the full traditional haggadah text,interesting commentary, jokes, cartoons, songs, and personal challenges. Our goal for this haggadah was 2 fold. Firstly to make this Haggadah appropriate for everyone, at any level of observance or background. Secondly, we want to encourage everyone to internalize some of the key messages of Passover. Without the challenge of personal growth and religious connection, the Seder would be just a night with silly customs to talk about the Exodus and eat lots of good food.  We would like to thank our parents and grandparents for instilling in us a love of our heritage and commitment to family. We hope that this Haggadah will be able to add a new dimension to your Passover Experience. Through our collective effort of personal growth, we can all reach our ultimate potential, and next year, sing and dance together, in a more complete world with all of our family, past and present, in the streets of Jerusalem towards the courtyard of the rebuilt Temple.

Our Sages term the telling of the story, in Hebrew, Sippur Yetziat Mitzrayim, “the story of the Exodus from Egypt.” Rabbi Yoseph Soloveitchik of blessed memoryteaches that the term sippur, story, is related to the word sofer, “scribe,” or sefer, which means a “scroll” or a “book.” A scribe, who writes a sefer, a scroll, produces something that is permanent, something that will last for generations. On Seder night, weare also involved in the act of “writing an everlasting scroll.” The childrenare the books, the scroll upon which the parent etches the beauty of this sacred night in the child’s mind. Tonight we are to be scribes, writing indelibly on the hearts and on the minds of our children the story that will be passed down to all succeeding generations. Moses was called a \"great scribe.\" Why was this term used to describe Moses? Moses wrote upon the hearts of the people. He etched the wisdom of the Torah into the very soul of the nation in a way that each generation would pass it on to the next. This is also our goal tonight: to impart the Torah onto our very souls and those of our children</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Yosef Soloveitchik", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 342, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "OK, I am here, now what?
