I hope you had an absolutely spectacular and enjoyable Purim. Thirty days before each holiday we are directed by the Sages to prepare for the holiday. In order to transform what may have become an overly ritualized family reunion into a fountainhead of insight and inspiration, I cannot recommend highly enough, The Passover Survival Kit. It's for people with a lot more than four questions.
Every Jewish holiday is an opportunity to work on a certain aspect of personal growth.
For this the Almighty brought us out of Egypt. That is license, not freedom. Freedom means having the ability to use your free will to grow and develop. Slavery is non-thinking action, rote behavior, following the impulse desires of the body. All of the commandments associated with Pesach enable us to relive and experience the freedom our forefathers experienced in leaving the land of Egypt in order to serve the Almighty.
