Four Questions
According to the Torah, we cannot partake of the meal until we have retold the story of our redemption, to our children. To help start the story a child (traditionally the youngest) asks the "Four Questions" about this special evening:
Mah Nish-ta-nah Ha_lai-lah Ha-zeh Mik-ol Ha_lei-lot?
How is this night different from all other nights?
Consider this opening question as the central message, in regards to the purpose of our Passover Seder.
She-be-khol Ha-lei-lot A-nu Okh-lin Cha-metz U-metz-ah Ha-lai-lah Ha-zeh Ku-lo Matz-ah?
Why is it that on all other nights during the year we eat either bread or matzah, but on this night we eat only matzah?
She-be-khol Ha-lei-lot A-nu Okh-lin She-ar Ye-ra-kkot Ha-lai-lah Ha-zeh Ma-ror?
Why is it that on all other nights we eat all kinds of herbs, but on this night we eat only bitter herbs?
She-be-khol Ha-lei-lot Ein A-nu Mat-bi-lin A-fi-lu Pa-am E-chat Ha-lai-lah Ha-zeh She-tei Fe-a-mim?
Why is it that on all other nights we do not dip our herbs even once, but on this night we dip them twice?
She-be-khol Ha-lei-lot A-nu Okh-lin Bein Yosh-vin U-vein Mi-su-bin Ha-lai-lah Ha-zeh Ku-la-nu Me-su-bin?
Why is it that on all other nights we eat sitting, but on this night we eat in a reclining position?
