New York – Sick of cleaning all day? Now do it all week. Then do it all year. Then do it for 210 years.

As the time of our cheirus approaches (and our precious kids keep pestering us with “Why do we have to clean the whole house for Pesach?!”), the key to its spiritual theme just may be found in its grueling physical groundwork.
Calling all talmidei chachomim—could it be that chometz housecleaning is intended to make us feel what slave labor is really like? Let us know which if any Rishon/Acharon/gadol/Rebbe says as much; we’re sure that at least one does.
With that in mind, when we gather around our Seder tables this Monday night and declare ourselves bnei chorin, let’s really mean it—with a little stimulation, perhaps, not just from our sacred Hagadahs, but from our sore hands too.
VIN News wishes you and yours and kosher and happy Pesach—and next year, will celebrate the Chag HaMatzos in Yerushalayim.

Oh Please! Ask Anyone Who Went Thru The Nazi Slave Labor Camps Your Question. How Can You Compare A Little Cleaning To shiabud mitzrayim? It Just Shows How Spoiled We Really Are. I Suggest That Tonight You Read The mefarshim and midrashim To Learn A Little About The Koishy hashiabud. A Koshurin peasach.
And to all women, it’s time for you to say nirtzu! You deed your best, don’t regret about noting. And men please prepare for tonight.
Yashar koiach a kusheren freilichen peisach to everyone
we acknowledge your special service for us the whole year round, so we bless you with a fully kosher and happy passover.
With all respect your question is a bit crum. I am sure you are asking in jest! Of course our expression of cheyrut is serving hashem. So the mitzvah of cleaning is an exression of cheyrut
תודה! חג כשר ושמח לכל עם ישראל, לשנה הבא בירושלים הבניה!
