Why is there not a remembrance in the Haggadah and at the Seder that we act or say something about the רכוש גדול that they took from Mitzrayim? We suggest that really there is and that it is demonstrated with the Afikomen. Part of keeping the children awake for the Seder is the ritual of stealing the Afikomen. It's not really the stealing part that gets them excited but rather the present they have been waiting for an entire year that they will ask from the father for the return of the stolen Afikoman. Remember that they know they have the upper hand. Now for a child, the trade in for the Afikomen is not going to be just a regular present but something so special that will come into his possessions it will be deemed a great wealth. When a child builds a Lego castle and someone just comes and knocks it down he did not just break his castle he broke his world. For adults to get a new car it is still not his entire world it's only a part of it. Not so with a child. He can show us what it feels like to be presented with a רכוש גדול.
A bachur once ate by Rav Chaim Kenievsky for Shabbos and after benching he asked Rav Chaim how does the Harachaman for the Baal Habayis relate to you when we say that your נכסים should be close to the city if you don't have any businesses? Rav Chaim smiled and stretched out his hand moving it across all the bookcases until he finished and then said these are my possessions. Baruch Hashem I have them close to the city. In fact they are all in my house. To him there is no greater wealth than sefarim. טוב לי תורת פיך מאלפי זהב וכסף. (Tehillim 119,72).
