The Four Questions
Asking questions is a core tradition in Jewish life, and we welcome questions at this table. By tradition, the youngest person present asks the Four Questions, but at this table, we all ask them together.
מַה נִּשְּׁתַּנָה הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מִכָּל הַלֵּילוֹת
שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין חָמֵץ וּמַצָּה הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה כּוּלוֹ מַצָּה
שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין שְׁאָר יְרָקוֹת הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מָרוֹר
הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה שְׁתֵּי פְעָמִים שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אֵין אֶנוּ מַטְבִּילִין אֲפִילוּ פַּעַם אֶחָת
שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין בֵּין יוֹשְׁבִין וּבֵין מְסֻבִּין הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה כֻּלָנו מְסֻבִּין

Why is this night different from all other nights?
On all other nights we eat either leavened bread or unleavened bread, (or gluten-free), on this night why do we eat only unleavened bread?
On all other nights we eat all kinds of herbs, on this night, why do we eat only bitter herbs?
On all other nights we do not dip our herbs even once, on this night, why do we dip them twice?
On all other nights we eat our meals sitting in any manner, on this night, why do we all recline at the table?
