In this uplifting episode of Inside ArtScroll, Rabbi Shlomo Landau sits down with Rabbi David Sutton to explore The Bitachon Haggadah – With a Daily Dose of Preparation, a sefer that transforms the way we approach Pesach. 

At its heart is a powerful yet simple idea: true freedom doesn’t begin on the night of the Seder — it begins thirty days earlier. Rabbi Sutton shares how this unique “two-in-one” work serves both as a 30-day daily reader and a complete Haggadah with commentary, gently guiding readers through a month-long journey of emunah, bitachon, and inner growth so they can arrive at Pesach calm, centered, and spiritually ready.

Drawing on the wisdom of Chazal, Rishonim, and later Torah giants, Rabbi Sutton explains how Yetzias Mitzrayim is not merely a story of the past, but a living, personal experience meant to renew our faith each year. Interwoven with meaningful insights and heart-stirring stories, the Haggadah brings warmth and depth to the Seder table while strengthening one’s connection to Hashem long after Pesach has passed. 

This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on preparation, showing how anticipation itself can become a pathway to serenity, clarity, and true cheirus.
