The Child That Is Hidden
One of the memorable parts of a seder is the hiding and finding of one of a piece of matza
known as the afikomen. There are different ways that this is done, but in general it is the
children who look for the piece and they are rewarded with a prize for finding it. The part that is
hidden is the bigger part of the matzah that is broken earlier. This is a reminder that there is
more to the world that we can’t see than that which we can. And sometimes to find it we have
to trust the children and the childlike part of all of us. So first we mighht have to find the child that is hidden before we can look for the Afikomen
