[Avodah] Whoever wishes to know what Judaism is

The following is from the Collected Writings of RSRH /volume I Nissan 
V page 98.

And when now there comes the [Pessach] festival itself, observe that 
it is not our temples and synagogues that are to be decorated for the 
celebration of our national birth. It is in our homes that the 
awakening is to take place. Whoever wishes to know what Judaism is, 
let him come and see our Pessach Week!

All rooms which are used in our family life or for the pursuit of our 
livelihood will carry the imprint of our festival. The spirit of this 
festival penetrates into the humblest corner of our earthly 
surroundings and with its coming, dispels any denial of the Divine 
source of our Redemption. Bread is to be prepared for our table, not 
for the altar. This bread "has so much to tell" about our 
unprecedented Deliverance, which was prolonged until the midnight 
hour when finally the Redemption and Rescue took place. These are the 
Divine acts unparalleled in the history of mankind.
