Seder – A Disorderly Seder
R Shmuel Koriver, a student of the Chozeh of Lublin, lived in abject poverty. Pesach was rapidly approaching, and he had no money for wine, food, or matzos. The Chozeh heard of his plight and dispatched one of his wealthy chasidim to quietly provide Reb Shmuel with all his needs. On Erev Pesach, a wagon laden with food and wine and matzos arrived at Reb Shmuel's door. He was overjoyed. Reb Shmuel sat down and conducted his Seder with a joy and a feeling that was unparalleled in all his holy life. He was overjoyed that HaShem had provided for him without having to ask for charity. On the second night of the Seder, Reb Shmuel was so tired from the previous night that he decided to rest a little before beginning the second Seder. He lay down on his bed for just a couple of minutes. Several hours later, he awoke with a start. He glanced at the clock and was horrified to see that it was nearly midnight. In just a short while it would be time to eat the afikomen. Reb Shmuel rushed to make kiddush, read the haggadah, say Hallel, drink the four cups, eat the matzos, the bitter herbs, the charoses, and the festive meal, and finally just seconds before midnight, he ate the afikomen. After Pesach, Reb Shmuel traveled to visit his teacher, the Chozeh, to tell him how disappointed he was with his second Seder.
“Well the first night was disappointing,” commented the Chozeh, “but you made up for it with the second Seder!!”
If you think your Seder was not a success, don’t despair!
Have a kosher and joyous Pesach.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi

ON GUARD
We all feel very happy and safe on Shabbos thanks to Matcal, our Israeli security patrol, which also advises us on security matters.
