This week's parsha contains the mitzvah to eat matzah at the Seder on Pesach. The reason the Torah gives for eating matzah - because we escaped to quickly for our dough to rise - doesn't seem to be consistent with other sources in the Seder, or even in the Torah! This Ten looks at those sources and shares an approach that suggests that perhaps, there is no reason for this mitzvah altogether.

Avraham is promised that after years of subjugation and suffering, his children will be "re-payed" with great wealth. What sort of consolation was this? Indeed, our parsha describes G-d's request that the Jews carry out this plan for their financial future and we find that there was some discomfort in carrying it out. This Ten discusses these and other troubling issues: Why were we given this money and why didn't we want to take it?
