Question: How can we understand that everything that depends on us is only the awareness of the state given to us, while everything else is determined from above? How can we make this understanding come faster?

Answer: As Rabash writes, we must sanctify the times: “Israel sanctifies the times.” This happens through striving to attain a higher-quality effort during the study.

Question: But we are doing this, are we not?

Answer: I do not know whether we are. This is something not so easy for a person to measure. Does your soul truly ache and respond to every word so that you are seeking salvation? Is this what you demand from every word in your study? Do you search in each word for its true spiritual meaning in order to connect through it to the source of life, and to feel that if you remain disconnected from this source even for a moment, you are as if dead?

Coming to such an awareness of necessity is precisely our work, our collective ascent. I hope that during Passover we will indeed reach such a common state.

If we unite during the holiday and think on a common level about what we can do in order to make the best use of the special surrounding lights of Passover, then we will be able to gain a great deal for our advancement.
