CHAG MATZAH

Shalom Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on the subject of the Feast of Unleaven Bread (CHAG MATZAH). Concerning CHAG MATZAH, the NAVI MOSHE recorded the following instructions, it is written, “For a seven day period shall you eat matzot, and on the seventh day there shall be a festival to HASHEM. Matzot shall be eaten throughout the seven-day period; no chametz may be seen in your possession, nor may leaven be seen in your possession in all your borders. And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, It is because of this that HASHEM acted on my behalf when I left Egypt. And it shall be for you a sign on your arm and a reminder between your eyes so that HASHEM’S Torah may be in your mouth for with a strong hand HASHEM removed you from Egypt. You shall observe this decree at it’s designated time from year to year.” Exodus 13:6-10. We are able to discern that the purpose of observing CHAG MATZAH is to manifest the ORAL TORAH, the disclosure declares, “so that HASHEM’S TORAH may be in your mouth.” No doubt, the challenge of eating MATZOT for a seven day period along with the command to removing chametz and leaven from the sight of one’s possession is a riddle that when solved gives rise to the unfoldment of RAZ (mystery). Yea, the uncovering of the RAZ engenders the CHOCHMAH (wisdom) of the Divine.

On the path of Life, which is one of SELF REALIZATION, the TRUTH of BEING is disclosed. The disclosure is of your HIGHEST TRUTH that is the experience of LIBERATION. The identification with your Supernal Nature is ascension out of egoism into that of the ALL. It is from the TRUTH that you are the Consciousness in which all of creation exists within, that frees one from being dominated by THINGS. CHAG MATZAH deals with the removal of things that are difficult to dispose of. From the perspective of the TRUTH of BEING, that is, that all things are contained within the YECHIDAH which is the highest level of the SOUL, pure consciousness, one is able to remove it from the sight of possession. The removal is in the identification of the TRUTH, that is, you are One Consciousness. The One Consciousness is ECHAD, Blessed be His Name. From this position chametz and leaven are transformed from one’s possession to One’s projection. Yea, TRUE LIBERATION is freedom from possession into the EMET that all things are your projection.
