Hey, I am Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg of the Jewish corrugation, Skokie Illinois. I want to help those people who are conducting us either(ph) to understand a little bit more about the Haggadah in ways in which of an out frame the important discussion.
First of all you should know that there is some of it on the Torah. The Torah remind just that are children will ask us and that we should tell them the story. The Torah does not mention for cups of wine although on the four cups for base than fourth redemptive terms in the story of the Exodus.
A lot of the text that I have got comes from the story of the exodus but a lot of modern Jews may not know that the way the weak the traditional had got works is they take little itsy bitsy pieces of the Torah story were the praises and then they will after that take a whole paragraph of the comments about that verse.
That is the Midrasic(ph) process and it explains a lot of traditional Haggadah. Now there are elements of the modern Haggadah(ph), as the Haggadah(ph) has evolved there were thousands of years. To trace its basic path, the 2000 years ago in the track tape of the Mishna(ph), the track tape this Sakkim(ph) about the Passak(ph) have return, which outlines a lot of things that would be familiar to modern Jew. They got it ask questions but there are only three questions there as suppose in the 40 day. And one of the questions in the missionary is different on today, that question was obviously appropriate when the temple started till the year 70 about eating roasted meat.
In addition, it says that they are different people that are learning different ways which is rice the 4 children concept. It does have the paragraph of Rabbi Gamilia(ph) who says you must mention these three things, Passover, Matsa(ph) and Myror(ph) or you do not fulfill your obligation. It does makes on the 4 cups of wine, it says that all who are hungry should come and eat. It says that everyone should feel as they personally left Egypt.
So the main ideas of the Passover, say they are contained in the mission of 2000 years ago. Now one more thing it is important to know, The four questions introduce the fifth step of the 14 steps of the sader(ph), the man exception. The same word of the world I have got it to tell and to teach and explain. And after that you need answers since you have the questions. That formula obviously is base time the Greek way to which they conducted these elaborate secreted dialogue dinners, so what is the answer?
Most Jews do not know they are actually two answers. The first is very apparent that we were slaves in Egypt and we redeemed and not became free. Now in between that and the second answer you have, the four sons. When we carefully the text the after the 4 sons you will see there is a second answer to the questions and why is this night different in other nights and then the answer is that we use to be idolaters and now, we worship the one God.
Those we really two main answers of the sader. I hope these helps you understand a little bit more about the basis of the sader. You can definitely find more material online, I wish you a very happy and close your Passak(ph).
