Shaaalooommmm swwwetest friends!!!
EXCITING!!!!!
P-E-S-A-C-H!!!!!! Mary had a little lamb and soon the Beis Hamikdash will be rebuilt and every April we will have LOTS of lambs. And Mary will call herself Miriam once again.
Anyway - A short hagada vort in the zchus of my beloved friend R' Avraham Shraga ben Malka Esther and his BEAUTIFUL family. They should have LIMITLESS bracha in all they do.
And of course - My beloved friend MOSHE YEHUDA BEN PESHA DINA!!! MUCH MUCH MUCH BRACHA IN EVERYTHING.
Speaking of "much much"...
In the hagada we quote the pasuk ויעצמו במאד מאד - The Jews were fruitful and multiplied VERY VERY much. [I give your bank account and seed that same bracha!!! זרענו וכספנו ירבה כחול!!] Why "very very"? Isn't one very enough. Must we revert to superlatives?
Ahhhhh - Said Rav Shmuel Shmaryahu, the Av Beis Din Of Azstrovtza [a small town near Teaneck]: The mishna in Avos says מאד מאד הוי שפל רוח - Be of a very VERY low of spirit. Don't make anything of yourself. Don't advertise to the world your great qualities! Be very very low. The only quality that we are advised to be extreme about is humility. VERY VERY humble.
The pasuk is hinting to the secret of the Jews multiplication - the מאד מאד of their numbers was because of the מאד מאד of שפל רוח.
The gemara [Chulin 60] says that the moon was told to make itself small for which it merited having legions and legions of stars around it [see Rashi Breishis 1/16].
Yokton had LOTS of kids because he made himself kotton [small] - See Breishis 10/25 [which also happens to be my birthday:-)]
The gemara says in Sotah [5b] based on the pasuk in Yeshaya [57/15] that Hashem only dwells with someone who thinks he is low.
You want success - empty yourself out. Be like matza. No fluff. No pretensions. No shtick. Know where everything comes from and you become a vessel that contains blessing. [Maybe that is why Mary had a "little" lamb. A humble, unassuming lamb:-)].

The Jews became מאד מאד, so numerous, because they were מאד מאד, so low.
May Hashem bless us all with good children and fill us up with ALL of his brachos.
With much love and brachos for an UNBELIEVABLE Pesach beyond your wildest dreams FILLED with bracha,
Me
