we say whoever's hungry come and eat
whoever's in need join us for the P
right called
the whoever's hungry come join us and
commentaries ask why are we saying this
now it's been probably at least 20
minutes into the Seder already we've
made Kish already we've washed already
we've had the vegetables dipped in and
we we've done a lot of stuff already why
didn't we announce this in sh or at
least the beginning why are we
announcing this now that's question
number one that MAF address question
number
two whoever needs come and join in the
the
Corb whoever needs
come and enjoy PES with us which is
theoretically referring to the Corban
PES and commentaries ask that Corban is
one of those Corban that you cannot join
spontaneously
because you had to sign up before you
had to be appointed for that Corbin PES
so the way it would work was you'd bring
a lamb or sheep to the B mik theen would
sacrifice it would would sh it and it
would be designated as your corbon p and
your family gets to eat it and any
family you joined with that had been
appointed with that particular corbon
would get to eat it if somebody came
spontaneously and they were not
appointed beforehand it's prohibited for
them to
eat so our question is why are we
inviting people to participate in the
PES
offering when that's not even
possible um not not to mention that
there is no pesak offering anymore in
fact mafarin point out that this whole
paragraph is recited in Aramaic because
it was authored during gallus it was
authored during Exile in B and Babylon
in a time where there was no corbon PESA
so the way it's understood is that it's
not necessarily referring to theban P
it's referring to the concept of pesak
whoever needs come and participate in
pesak what does pesak mean pesak could
generically refer to the pesak offering
but pesak also means Hashem passing over
Hashem lifting us out of Egypt Hashem
pulling us out of our dark spaces even
though we weren't yet ready for
that God took us out of Egypt and like
we say later not through an angel not
through a sarraf not through a messenger
it was just God alone because sometimes
to get out of our dark spaces we can't
do it
alone and sometimes we're not even ready
for
it but God could still slip us out God
could still pull us out we're ready to
pass over we're ready to jump we're
ready to make Leaps and Bounds and
whoever's ready come
participate and this is why we're we're
mentioning it now at this point in the
Seder not earlier we're about to get
into deep discussion in the story of our
Exodus and we're inviting everybody
who's already
present to not just remain physically
present but be spiritually present
participate in this pesak participate in
what pesak really means internalizing
that we are inherently free people deep
down inside because God empowers us deep
down inside to be
free that's my story and I'm sticking to
it
