English translation — ש״ס קומות, כ״א טבת

And every day and day a person is obligated to see himself as if he left Egypt today."".

And in particular, there are three levels and grades in this:

We mention the Exodus from Egypt,

every single day"

(,

the days")

: when the light of G‑d shines

("And G‑d called the light day"•³)

must simply be the,

to see himself as if he went out of Egypt today",

the service of a Jew to go out of Egypt and limitations.

In addition to this comes the innovation,

that "we mention the Exodus from Egypt at nights",

as Ben Zoma expounded from the verse,

In order that you remember the day of your departure from Egypt all the days of your life.

"All the days of your life to include the nights" - so even when there is a time of night and darkness,

when the light of G-d does not shine,

until even in the night of exile³,

it can and must also be,

"the Exodus from Egypt".

The Sages argue further³¹,

That,

"All the days of your life" includes - in addition to the entire this world

("the days of your life" [means] this world / also - "to bring about the days of Mashiach".

So the novel point in this is twofold:

Sefer HaSichos - 5752

The novel point in this is even greater:

And since one will then mention Yetzias Mitzrayim,

Is a proof that this is for a benefit - for the advantage and the innovation that Yetzias Mitzrayim will accomplish also then,

As follows.

And one should say the explanation of this:

In the redemption from Egypt was renewed

the general concept of redemption,

the opening of the channel for all redemptions

(also from the subsequent bitter exiles)

including the future redemption.

Moreover: if they had merited,

the Exodus from Egypt would have been the complete redemption with no exile after it,

in the manner of "Hashem will reign forever and ever",

as the Jews said in the Song of the Sea.³²? Because then they would have immediately entered the Land of Israel with the complete redemption.

But because they "mixed in" extraneous matters,

this did not come out in actuality.

Based on this, one can say,

So the essence of the matter of the Exodus from Egypt is - "the days of Mashiach,"

the true and complete redemption,

and the essence and inner dimension of the matter of the days of Mashiach is the redemption from Egypt.

But regarding practical action - due to external reasons - there is a time interval between them

(in the external aspect, until the complete redemption comes into action.

But also the entire time in the interim

(between the redemption from Egypt and the complete redemption)

-“all the days of your life”

(in this world)

- must be “Remember the day of your going out from the land of Egypt”

[For then “all the days from the days of the first redemption from the Egyptian exile until the future redemption, may it be speedily, they are the days of your going out from the land of Egypt”]

; and since the Exodus from Egypt is intrinsically the matter of “the days of Moshiach,”

therefore the remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt “all the days of your life” includes automatically also “

(to bring about the likeness of Moshiach”¹*)
