Chasidut su Esodo 13:10
וְשָׁמַרְתָּ֛ אֶת־הַחֻקָּ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את לְמוֹעֲדָ֑הּ מִיָּמִ֖ים יָמִֽימָה׃ (ס)
Osserverai questo statuto nel suo stabilito tempo, d’anno in anno.
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 13,10. “You are to observe this statute at its appointed time, year after year.” On the three pilgrimage festivals, Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot this illumination is firmly engraved for the remainder of the year. The essence of Passover is in the minute difference between חמץ and מצה consisting of the time it takes to walk one mile (18 minutes) during which an unleavened dough if unattended will turned into a leavened dough. The essence of Shavuot consists of it being the anniversary of the Jewish people’s finest moment, the moment when they enthusiastically accepted the gift of the Torah. The essence of Sukkot consists of it being the source of all the blessings that ensure our economic existence and well being during the year then unfolding. The words: מימים ימימה refer to the three festivals mentioned radiating their spiritual influence for the entire year. Provided that we believe in G’d’s miracles, the influence of these few days devoted to primarily spiritually oriented activities will act as a benevolent umbrella over all our activities during the year.
