Daily Chizuk #0624

We begin the Seder holding a piece of matzah, describing it as the poor man’s bread that our ancestors ate in Mitzrayim during their slavery. Then, towards the end of Maggid, we point to the matzah and describe it as the bread that didn’t have time to rise when we were rushed out of Mitzrayim. The very same matzah that we looked upon as the symbol of our slavery turned into being the symbol of our freedom. The pasuk says in Yirmiyahu, perek 30, "וממכותיך ארפאך נאם ה'" – Hashem heals us with the very wounds we became injured by.
What appears to be the worst circumstance is Hashem bringing about our salvation. It might not seem that way at the beginning, and it might not even seem that way for years to come. But one day, we will see how everything that ever happened to us was always for the best.
