Passover, one of the three pilgrimage festivals, is soon to be upon us. Aside from cleaning and inspecting for "hametz" (anything that contains leaven), is a time of remembering when our people would bring sacrifices to the Temple for seven days. (Lev. 23:8) The sacrificial system will be reinstated once the Temple is rebuilt and the Maschiach (Messiah) returns.
Also, we are to eat matzahs for seven days to remember HaShem's deliverance for us out of Egypt. (Ex. 12:15-20) During this time, we are to contemplate whether we are returning to Egypt in our thinking and return to HaShem.
