@eclipse: There was a game show in the 1960s-70s called Let’s Make a Deal (CBS brought back a new version with Wayne Brady weekdays) with host Monty Hall, who by the way is a Canadian Jew born to Jewish parents. Yes, I know the religion lies with the mother.
Anyway, the whole concept of the show was to win the best prizes which were hidden behind door #1, door #2 or door #3. Sometimes the prize was a washer dryer, sometimes a zonker like a goat, yes a goat. But Monty always offered a cash prize BEFORE opening the chosen door and the contestant had to choose between the cash or the chosen door.
BTW, the contesents would show up in crazy costumes. I’m not sure what that has to do with winning prizes.
Bargaining is a human concept. HaShem, unlike Monty Hall does not bargain. We can daven, pray, supplicate, bargain but HaShem is the ultimate Game Show Host.
Hope this cleared this up for you.
Have a wonderful Yom Tov and remember to pick the right door :).
Also, please remember Pesach cleaning does NOT mean Spring cleaning. Leave the Spring cleaning to another time of the year.
Have a Chag K’osher V’sameach.
