Intuiting Holiness Even While Still Impure

Every individual can feel the holiness of this night. The Kosover Rebbe zy’a (Sefer Toras Chaim) explains the first two simanim of the Seder – Kadesh, Urchatz – by saying that on all other nights, one must first wash away his impurity before attempting to attain kedusha. On Pesach, however, we commemorate how Hashem lifted the nation up from the 49th level of impurity and brought them to a high level of sanctity. So too, every year on Pesach, one must have emunah that even if he did not prepare himself fully by removing all traces of sin, he can become holy.
