The Secret of Passover

The Passover Seder contains so many elements: Matzah, bitter herbs, four cups of wine, charoset, the afikoman, and, of course, the Haggadah - the telling of the exodus from Egypt. But the main ingredient of the Seder experience, the most essential ingredient, isn't seen, nor is it tasted or touched. The main active ingredient of Passover is placing ourselves alongside our ancestors and reliving our own redemption from Egypt. The story of Passover remains just a story, unless we place ourselves within it, making it real, for ourselves and our children, and our children's children.
