How did the Jewish people become slaves, the same way today people fall to negative behaviors. There arose a New King that didn't recognize Yoseph......Teaches Rebbe Nosson, that the Side of Evil tries swallow up and ignore the Good Points in each person that give us life and vitality!

Life is full of challenges, tests, and difficulties. It goes without saying that raising children is often one of our greatest tests.

When you stand in the TEST your consciousness is elevated, you plug into the power of SPRING, the power to JUMP, the month of Nissan and with the help of Hashem you will see MIRACLES he will help you see YOUR CHILDREN’S Holiness

This is what shines on the Night of Pesach  Every year we have to renew our understanding of the Way of God , the way he works in the world, shining wisdom ,  god consciousness into our children . Everything that happens is from God and it's all good . You can't have a Pesach without Pharaoh all the slavery and the oppression a parent has to articulate words of faith to his children. And not even a hint that it's Shvaar (difficult). It's so difficult to be a *Jew  NO  Every generation, they stand up against us. But a Hashem helps us all the time. We are still here today. Yes ,  Kids , it's wonderful to be Jewish . We're on the verge of the final redemption Be Strong . Hold on.  Believe in this Hashem
