To explore the connection between mitzvah and matzah, we need to go back in time for a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the third day following Avraham\u2019s circumcision. Most people would be resting in bed, recuperating. Not so Avraham. He sits outside his tent anxiously anticipating that a passerby may come his way. Finally he sees three men, or angels, though he was unaware of that at the time. The Torah vividly describes the great enthusiasm with which Avraham prepares the guest\u2019s meals. \u201cAvraham ran to the cattle.\u201d \u201cAvraham hurried into the tent.\u201d This story serves as a catalyst for all positive commandments. So too, they should be done with a full heart and with much excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a seemingly strong statement from our Rabbi\u2019s. \u201cDo not allow your positive commandments (mitzvos) to become like a Non-Kosher Matza (chametz) on Passover\u201d. What is the connection between chametz and mitzvos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
