A MESSAGE TO SHARE

The Seder is known for being a night of questions and answers. And yet, perhaps the most important lesson to convey to our children Seder night is not that we have all the answers. Rather, we need to share that in life we are faced with many questions, and there will be some questions that we simply cannot answer. But one thing we are sure of is that we have G-d in our lives. And that G-d is good and full of compassion.

When reaching the Seder’s end we drink a fourth cup of wine, lifting that cup of wine to acknowledge, with anticipation, the future redemption. As the Seder comes to a close we are making the following statement to our children (and to ourselves and all those around the table): ‘I don't know when the redemption will happen. I don't know how it will happen. But one thing I know beyond a shadow of doubt, my dear children, is that the redemption will come.’ In a word, the night of Seder is a night of faith.
