April 18, 2008 — During Passover, which begins tomorrow night, Jews gather in their homes and synagogues to observe the holiday - and in emergency rooms to recover from it.

Doctors have noticed a surge in emergency-room visits over “Pesach” as people feel the effects of the heavy eating, cooking and cleaning that comes with the holiday, a physician at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn said yesterday.

“We know it's because of Passover,” says Dr. Tucker Woods, chairman of LICH's emergency department. “There's definitely an uptick in total patient volume during Passover.”

Oy, That Passover Gives Jews Such Tsuris!

This past week I met a fellow at LaGuardia airport. We exchanged greetings. He asked what I do, so I told him about Chabad on Campus. He said that he too was in Jewish communal work. He noted that he viewed his work as being important because he stopped people from sinning. I was aghast. Sinning? Instead of focusing on the sinning, why not focus on the good and view one's purpose as encouraging goodness?

Once started, I didn’t stop. I told him how today's generation is incredibly good considering the huge temptations that are accessible to all. Despite the formidable enticement of today's world, every single Jew is full of good deeds. In fact, the Talmud states that “the worst sinners of Israel are full of good deeds as a pomegranate is full of seeds.”

The Rebbe says:

1. The first verse of this week’s Torah portion reads, “Vah’yi’da’bear Hashem El Moshe Acharei Mos Shnei B’nay Aharon B’kar’va’sam Leefnay Hashem Va’ya’moo’soo - And Hashem spoke to Moshe after the death of two sons of Aharon (Aaron) who brought an (unauthorized) offering before Hashem and they died”.

2. The Rebbe now questions the need for the last word in this verse:

If the verse already told us that Hashem is speaking to Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) “after the death of two sons of Aharon”, why does the verse conclude by repeating that “they died”?
