Sfas Emes (Pesach 5642)
"הגלות היתה נמנעת אם היתה אחדות בישראל מלכתחילה."
"Exile could have been avoided if there had been unity among Israel from the outset."
Karpas is more than a simple vegetable dip—it’s a reminder of our past mistakes. The Midrash connects it to Yosef’s coat, which his brothers dipped in blood before selling him. The sale of Yosef led to our exile, and the Sfas Emes teaches that if we had unity from the start, the galus would have been entirely different. As we dip the Karpas, we pause to ask: Am I living with achdus? Am I ready to let go of jealousy and ego to bring geulah into my life?
