166) \u201cBut on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses, for whoever eats anything leavened, that soul will be cut off from the congregation of Israel. This sourdough and leaven are one degree, and they are all one. Another authority are the ministers appointed over the rest of the nations. And they are called \u201cthe evil inclination,\u201d \u201canother authority,\u201d a \u201cforeign god,\u201d and \u201cother gods.\u201d Here, too, sourdough, leaven, and leavened food are all one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Creator said, \u201cAll those years you stood in another authority and served a different people. From here on, you are free, as it is written, \u2018But on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses,\u2019 \u2018You shall eat nothing leavened,\u2019 and \u2018no leavened bread shall be seen with you, and no leaven shall be seen with you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
167) It follows that we should not eat leaven all the days of the year, so why only seven days? After all, it is written, \u201cSeven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses.\u201d However, as long as one must show oneself as free, one should not eat leaven. And when one is not obliged, there is no need for prohibiting leaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
168) It is like a king who made one man a minister. All the days while he was climbing to that degree, he was happy and wore stately clothes. Afterwards, he did not need it. On another year, he keeps those days when he had risen to this glory and wore those clothes, and likewise every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such are Israel. It is written, \u201cSeven days shall there be no leaven found.\u201d These are the days of joy, the days when they have risen to this honor and emerged from enslavement by another. And for this reason, every single year we keep those days when we have risen to this honor and emerged from the other authority, and have come to the domain of holiness. This is why it is written, \u201cSeven days shall you eat unleavened bread.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
