Description

Why not enjoy Pesach and give Yetzias Mitzrayim its time before turning our attention to the next yom tov on the horizon? Why do we bring Matan Torah and more into the story of Leil Seder, both at מתחילה עובדי ע״ז and at דיינו? Shouldn't we be sensitive to אין מערבין שמחה בשמחה, to not mixing and mingling different celebrations? What is the meaning of the end of Pesach? What is the avoda and spiritual opportunity of Sefiras ha-Omer?
