It has been a while seen we last washed our hands before Karpas, so we need to wash them again and, this time, we recite a blessing as we usually do before eating bread.

Why do we wash our hands again, yet say the hand-washing blessing this time around?

Preferably kids that are under the age of 13, but anyone can.

On what age are you supposed to start saying Ma Nishtana

There are stories of this because, the Jews are looked at as outsiders and they have to struggle with this forever and the only way they will learn to accept this is if we go through being looked at not in the best way.

Chacham 1. (מה:ט) מַהֲרוּ וַעֲלוּ אֶל אָבִי וַאֲמַרְתֶּם אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר בִּנְךָ יוֹסֵף שָׂמַנִי אֱלֹהִים לְאָדוֹן לְכׇל מִצְרָיִם רְדָה אֵלַי אַל תַּעֲמֹד.

Rasha 1. וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל פָּרוּ וַיִּשְׁרְצוּ וַיִּרְבּוּ וַיַּעַצְמוּ בִּמְאֹד מְאֹד וַתִּמָּלֵא הָאָרֶץ אֹתָם. 2. וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֱלֹהֵי הָעִבְרִים נִקְרָא עָלֵינוּ...

Why are all the stories about the Jews being outcasts?

Many people say that the four sons are there to teach us how to respond to our own children. Every child should have an opportunity to learn this story, but not all children learn the same.

IS there anything on why there's four sons?

We pour water over our hands as an expression of wisdom pouring downward passing through our heart and from there to our interaction with the world around us.Wash them clean of the impurities of a life in a materialistic world.

Why do we drink while reclining to the left? Why not the right? Why do we recline in general? We recline to rest because we can finally rest. Food is normally held in the right hand. Leaning toward the left leaves the right hand free.

Makat Bechorot: Plague of the Firstborn Yosi Groman I chose to draw a picture of an Egyptian with his dead firstborn son. The last plagueְ  which was the plague of the firstborn, is the most outstanding because of how important the firstborns were to the Egyptians. All firstborn sons died which doesn’t make sense because the Egyptian civilians wanted to get rid of them and they didn’t want to suffer. Batia, Pharaoh's daughter, took Moshe in and fostered him instead of...
