NAALEH.COM and YU TORAH PESACH 5775 Capitulation Chessed And Chinuch By: Mrs. Shira Smiles

Pesach is the first of the Jewish holidays, the holiday which forms the foundation of our religious observance and from which all others flow. Similarly, our Patriarch Abraham is the first of our forefathers from whom our faith descends to us and flows outward to the world. The Sifsei Chaim quoting the Tur notes that indeed each of our patriarchs is associated with one of the three major festivals, and Avraham Avinu is associated with Pesach. It therefore behooves us to study the character of both Avraham Avinu and of Pesach to understand the connection between the two.Summary by Channie Koplowitz Stein
