 Burning The Decree Philosophizing Is Not Enough


Next Year?

One year, while a group of Belzer Chasidim were drawing water for the baking of matzos for the festival of Passover, they wished their rebbe the traditional blessing recited at the end of the Seder, "Next year in Jerusalem!"

But the rebbe rebuked them: "Why do you say 'next year'? Don't we wait for and anticipate Moshiach every moment? We should believe with complete faith that this very water which we are drawing now will be used to bake matzo tomorrow, on the eve of Passover, in Jerusalem, and that we will enjoy the Seder there!
