Passover: Seder Learning Activity

Going from Observer to Participant – A Rest Stop on the Exodus from Egypt

By Rabbi Daniel Goldfarb, Conservative Yeshiva Director

The Torah tells us that Am Yisrael left Egypt in a rush (“b’chipazon”, Deut 16:3).  One way Lel HaSeder recalls the Exodus is that it, too, is often rushed.  This is a short text study which can provide a pause en route, “food for thought,” to stimulate deeper engagement with the Haggadah than the typically hurried recitation allows.  It can be done in pairs (chevruta style) or by all together.  3-5 minutes, then “back to the journey.”
