Sources for 21 Pesach Shiurim:

חמץ ומצה

הלילה הזה כולו צלי

חד גדיה


המצה של לוט

אין ביעור חמץ אלא שריפה

אלו קרבנו לפני הר סיני ולא נתן לנו את התורה דייני

ארבע כוסות

פסח – הלכה, מנהג, וחומרה

חייב אדם לעסוק בהלכות הפסח כל הלילה

חישב את הקץ

חרוסת

כנגד ארבע בנים  

מַצָּה זוּ שֶׁאָנוּ אוֹכְלִים עַל שׁוּם מָה. עַל שׁוּם מה? -לֶחֶם עֹנִי

מכירת חמץ

מתחיל בגנות ומסיים בשבח

(פֶּסַח,) מַצָּה, (וּמָרוֹר)

קטנית

חג הפסח עד חצות

שיר השירים עם ברכה

ערב תבשילין, קיטניות וחמץ - הבט הלכתי ומחשבתי

רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה זכירת וסיפור יציאת מצרים
