On the yahrzeit of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, Rav Shlomo Katz explores a luminous Torah from Kedushas Levi on the names of Pesach.

Why do we call it Pesach while the Torah calls it Chag HaMatzot? With the Berditchever’s signature vision, we discover that this is the dialogue of two beloveds: Hashem praises Israel’s faith in running out of Egypt with matzot, while we praise Hashem’s mercy in passing over our homes.

From here, Reb Levi Yitzchak opens a window into what Hashem really thinks about us — as if His tefillin are inscribed with our praises, just as ours hold His. The teaching becomes deeply practical: every faculty we were given — eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet — is meant for holiness, to see Hashem, hear Torah, speak words of merit, lift the world upward in love, and stand firmly on faith.

A timeless reminder from the Sanegoran shel Yisrael: to speak, see, and live in ways that mirror the pride and love Hashem already feels for us.
