Pesach heralds a time of preparation-cleaning, scrubbing, and cooking. Yet of
greater importance is the spiritual preparation for the holiday, and the pivotal
Seder night. For it is this holiday that establishes the core of our
relationship with G-d. By bringing us out of Egypt and punishing the nation that
had enslaved us. G-d demonstrated that we are His chosen children.
Every father is obligated to teach this to his children, to impart these basics
of our faith on the night of the Seder. "You shall relate in the ears of your
child. .. that I made a mockery of Egypt and My miraculous signs that I placed
among them, and you shall know that I am HashemI! (Shemos 10:2). It is our
obligation to teach our children the lessons learned from the Egyptians'
punishment. Not only that Hashem punishes the wicked who mistreat His
people-through the ten plagues, G-d demonstrated His dominion and sole control
over the entire world.
This book is designed to prepare the reader for this vital task. Step by step,
it will take you through the Seder night, elaborate on the ten makkos, describe
the suffering of our ancestors in Egypt, and rejoice in their ultimate
redemption at the splitting of the sea. Complete with pictures that bring each
part of the Seder to life, and a fascinating account of the bringing of the
korban Pesach, it is the ultimate spiritual preparation for the Seder.
