Pesach: The Defining Beginning

from The Thinking Jewish Podcast Hosted by Rabbi Zvi Gefen

Why do we thank Hashem for taking us out of Egypt if He was the One who put us there in the first place? If the exile was part of Hashem’s plan, what exactly are we celebrating? Are we celebrating freedom — or something deeper than just leaving Egypt? On Matzah:Why do we eat Matzah on Pesach?Is Matzah just a reminder of the haste of leaving Egypt, or does it represent something more?What does Matzah actually teach us about who we are as a people?
