The Story
The Haggadah sets forth the theme that we — not just our ancestors — were slaves to Pharaoh but God delivered each of us “with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.” We tell the story of the Exodus and search its meaning to better understand and appreciate its message.
We have an obligation to retell the story of our Exodus from Egypt in order to remind ourselves that the struggle for freedom is a constant one. Over the years, Rabbis reasoned that since the Torah commands us to retell the story, this must be done creatively, in a way that is compelling to the next generation.
Everyone fill and raise the second cup of wine, but do not drink - All say:
In every generation enemies rise up against us, seeking to destroy us, and in every generation God delivers us from their hands into freedom.
All replace their cups untasted
