Pesach (Passover) is the biggest holiday for Kabbalists because it represents an exit from our egoism, from the will to receive pleasure, from the state of separation from the Creator, and from distance from our friends.

Passover is the beginning of the spiritual path, when we break away from the pincers of egoism that suffocate us and do not allow us to breathe.

Therefore we want to escape from such egoism in order to move toward connection between us and to restore the common Kli of Adam HaRishon, one common soul, in order to feel in it one spiritual world, one light, one Creator, and all of us together as one.

This is why this holiday is so important. There is no more important holiday than Passover. “Pesach” means “leap” (pasach). When we make a leap, we move from a state of egoistic reception to altruistic bestowal.

When we exit from our egoism, the will to receive, and this earthly nature that is artificially created by the Creator, it is really a great holiday. A fascinating journey into spirituality begins with it.

A person should feel that he needs a spiritual Kli, that he wants to contain all the parts of the soul so that they fill all his inner desire, and all his thoughts and aspirations would be only about the point of connection with the Creator. If he has reached such a state, it means that he has already prepared himself for exodus from Egypt.

Without a sense of exile, it is impossible to reach redemption. After all, the advantage of light is revealed only from darkness. Therefore, if the Creator wants to lead us to bestowal, to a state of being equal to the Creator, He is forced to lead us through exile.

The difference between exile (Galut) and redemption (Geula) is only in one letter “Aleph” – א, meaning the Creator. When the Creator begins to appear in our life, exile turns into redemption.
