Bedikat Chametz: The Light of the Night

Why does the Torah call the night or le’arba’ah asar—“the light of the fourteenth”—when it’s clearly dark outside? What’s this night trying to tell us?

Join Rav Shlomo Katz and enter the hidden world of the night before Pesach. With the voices of Reb Nosson of Breslov and R’ Shlomo Carlebach echoing through the room, we learn how this is not just a night of cleaning and checking. This is a night of transformation.

We begin to burn not only the chametz in our homes, but the chametz in our minds: the belief that nature is fixed, that our past defines us, that we’re stuck in darkness. On this night, we declare: darkness is an illusion. Night can shine like day. And within the cracks of our stories, those places that once hurt, we find the deepest light.

The night of Bedikat Chametz is the beginning of redemption, not just for our homes, but for our souls.
