Emulating Hashem: Kindness as an Atonement for Sin
Pesach Expenses with Emunah
A lot of money needs to be spent to prepare for a holiday, especially a holiday like Pesach. Whether it's food, clothing, or matzot, the money adds up. Shulchan Aruch writes in siman 529 that we are supposed to honor the holiday, and when it comes to something that will bring more honor to the holiday, we should not be cheap about it. The Mishnah Berura explains, because parnasa is determined on Rosh Hashanah, but the money that we spend on Yom Tov is not included in that allotment. The more a person spends on Yom Tov, the more Hashem will give him to cover it, and the less he spends, the less he'll be given towards those Yom Tov expenses.
Hashem is the One who gives us money and He told us whatever we spend on Yom Tov, He will reimburse us for. And therefore, we should spend with happiness knowing that we are honoring the holiday the proper way.
