They are four statements that clarify the main question of the Sedar; \"Why is this night different from all other nights?\".</p>\n\n<p>This night is different from all other nights because we tell the story of Passover as inscribed in the book of Exodus. This night is also different because we participate in rituals that have been observed at Passover Seders for centuries by our Jewish ancestors.</p>\n\n<p>The Torah describes four children who ask questions about the Exodus.</p>\n\n<p>Tradition teaches that these verses refer to four different types of children and that it is our job to not only make sure the story of Passover is told but to engage the children in the proceedings. </p>\n\n<p><strong>The wise child asks, “What are the laws that God has commanded us?” </strong><br />\nThe parent should answer by instructing the child in the laws of Passover, starting from the beginning and ending with the laws of the Afikomen. Give this child the tools to discover the meaning of Passover on their own and explain to them why it is important to retell the story of Exodus each year. <br />\n<br />\n<strong>The wicked child asks, “What does this Passover service mean to you?” </strong><br />\nThe parent should answer, “It is because of what God did for me when I came out of Egypt.\" Explain that Passover is a celebration of the freedom we all enjoy. Ask them \"How would if feel if you were a slave and freed by God?\"<br />\n<br />\n<strong>The simple child asks, “What is this Seder service?” </strong><br />\nThe parent should answer, “With a mighty hand God brought us out of Egypt. Therefore, we commemorate that event tonight through this Seder.” Don't confuse us with details, instead tell them the basic facts of the story and explain the general meaning of Passover in terms they can understand. </p>\n\n<p><strong>And then there is child who does not know how to ask. </strong><br />\nThe parent should begin a discussion with that child based on the verse: “And you shall tell your child on that day, ‘We commemorate Passover tonight because of what God did for us when we went out of Egypt.\" Try telling stories or singing songs, and make it a festive time. </p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 167, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Four Children | Passover haggadah by Jenna Boig", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
