Channel 4: Channeling Our Strengths on Pesach

Channel 4: Channeling Our Strengths on Pesach" by Rabbi Abba Wagensberg

A discription of this class as found on Aish Audio:

A person's body, spirit, intellect and emotions are four components that express the diverse drives within each of us. There also happens to be a number of themes in the Hagaddah also grouped by fours - like the four questions, the four cups of wine, the four sons, etc. These groupings parallel the intrinsic conflicts within us that continuously search for resolution and harmony. Rabbi Wagensberg tracks these themes and concludes this talk with how they will suddenly fuse together to bring about our final geula (redemption).

Major Concepts of the Seder Night by Rabbi Noach Orlowek

A discription of this class as found on Aish Audio:

Just as Shabbos celebrates the creation of the universe once a week, Pesach celebrates the creation of Klal Israel. Just as unity was the key for our redemption from Egypt, it is also the key for bringing about our long awaited redemption. Learn significant lessons about what true unity is from our collective slavery, our redemption, and our unanimous acceptance of the Torah just seven weeks after the Exodus at the foot of Mount Sinai.

The Strange Customs of Seder Night

"The Strange Customs of Seder Night" by Rabbi Ari Kahn - is taken from Aish Hatorah's Audio Website.

The description to this class is:

Why do we invite 'those who are hungry to come and eat' - in the middle of the seder? Why do we wash our hands during the seder - without reciting the customary blessing? And how can we be commanded to feel as though we personally left Egypt in a comfortable home instead of marching into the desert? Join Rabbi Kahn for answers to these and many other questions about the strange and unusual nature of the Seder night. A light and humorous talk with a lot of ideas for keeping the 'kids' awake and involved.

This is a very interesting class as Rabbi Kahn takes the "Strange Customs" and helps us to understand them.

The Many Facets of Matza

This class "The Many Facets of Matza" is given by Rabbi Ari Kahn and also located at Aish Hatorah's Audio Website.

A very interesting class too. He explains what Matza is and more. From the Aish Audio description of the class: "If you thought matzah was just a flat, dried out, bumpy, boring piece of bread - think again. Rabbi Ari Kahn takes you down Matzah Lane to show you some of its many hidden wonders - between the holes. The first mention of matzah in the Bible defines its essence, and from there the lessons and wisdom begin to rise from this tasteless, but nourishing symbol of the Jewish Peoples Exodus from Egypt.
