The Seder begins with the questions of the And so, when they crossed the Reed Sea the children: children recognized Hashem first even before their “What is the meaning of Pesach? – Why is this parents. They pointed with their fingers and said, night different from all other nights?” “This is my G-d. I remember Him. And I will glorify The whole Haggada comes to answer their Him.” question. That is why the Seder begins with their questions. The Haggada was put together with care and wisdom by our greatest Sages. We have to ask, why The Answer did they arrange it this way? Why does the entire And so, the special task of parents is to talk to the Seder center around the children? children, to listen carefully to their questions, and The answer is because everything depends on answer them with good answers, caring answers, not them. just repeating the same words from year to year. Then It’s been that way since the very beginning. Even they have to tell them the story, our story, till the in Egypt, children had a special connection to children understand that it is their story too. Hashem. It’s the story of how Hashem chose us to be His When they were newborn infants, Hashem sent People, His cherished holy nation, and how He took us out of Egypt with signs and wonders, and with great love gave us the most precious gift He had, His holy Torah, and made us free forever. And since then, no one else and nothing in the world can have any power over us. It’s the greatest story ever. And it happened on this night. For children the Seder is tremendous fun. That’s why we want them to stay awake and enjoy it, so it will always be a happy memory for them, to remind them at all times that just like Hashem took us out of Egypt way back then, He is taking us out of exile now, and He is hurrying to bring the real Geula, the complete Geula, the everlasting Geula, through Moshiach Tzidkainu – speedily right Now!
