Learning with Reb Shlomo (56):The Light of the 14th

from Reb Leibish Hundert Weekly · host Reb Leibish Hundert

Why does the Mishnah call the night of the search for chametz (leavened bread) "light"?In this episode of the Shlomo Carlebach Series, Rav Leibish explores the profound spiritual preparation for Passover. Drawing on the wisdom of the Mei HaShiloach and Rav Shlomo’s soul-stirring insights, we learn that the physical act of cleaning for Pesach is a "vessel" for a much greater heavenly gift: true freedom.In this episode, you’ll discover:The Gift of Freedom: Why real freedom isn't something we create, but a gift from Heaven that no one can take away.Knowing Your Root: How the "Light of the 14th" helps us recognize our unique place in God's heart.The "Two-Feet" Analogy: Why we can only truly search for our flaws (chametz) once we realize our immense potential and greatness.The Power of Connection: Insights into how our simple actions—like saying "Good Morning" to a child or straightening a Kippah—vibrate through the highest heavens.Whether you are preparing for your Seder or searching for deeper self-awareness, this teaching offers a roadmap to finding your spiritual home and the light within.
