At our family Seders, I’m typically the Leader, meaning that the people around the table look to me to lead them through the liturgy of the Haggadah (1). It’s up to me to set the Seder mood with a preamble, to choose which sections of the Haggadah to include, to call on people to read the sections labelled “Participant,” and to establish the pace.
Great piece. A wonderful starting point for all of us who at this very minute are beginning to think about the do's and don'ts of our own seders.
i wish the photo was visible. it is so cute!
The spirit of this post is probably relevant to parenting philosophy overall, I'd imagine. Not just Seder leading.
I also would enjoy a post exploring Afikoman hiding strategy. I think you were pretty good at that!
Will miss you this year! Great piece!
Priceless. Intellectually fun and interesting but most of all, very moving. Brought back many memories of past Seders.
