[Avodah] The Return of the Chometz

[Cantor Wolberg]

What I always have found interesting is that removing chometz from our  
homes was to be a time for us to reflect on removing the inflated ego  
from our lives. We are to learn to be as humble and as unleavened as  
matzo. But then just a week later, we're back to eating chometz. In  
one way I see it as human nature. We may be successful to temporarily  
remove the inflated ego and arrogance, but
too often, it returns with a vengeance. I guess it would be too  
cumbersome to do away with chometz forever, but perhaps once a month  
(maybe Rosh Chodesh) we could symbolically eat matzah for that
day (or two) just to remind us that our ego must be kept in check.
Hope you all had a good Isru Chag yesterday.
Kol tuv.
