Haggadah-A Circumcised Heart

The 14th of Nisan is the Yahrtzeit of Rav Asher Yeshaya of Ropshitz (1845), the main rebbi of Rav Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam, the Shinover Rav: “Every slave of a man, who was bought for money, you shall circumcise him; then he may eat of it (Exodus 12:44).” A person who sees himself as low as a slave, and his only desire is to purchase, “Miknat Kessef,” acquisitions of holiness; he is the one who merits to be brought closer to holiness, “then he may eat of it.” (Divrei Yechezkail Shinover)
