Dear Yavneh Family,

The leil haSeder remains the singular most important night for Jewish education. It is the one night, more than any other, that we pass on our mesorah, traditions and values to the next generation. The haggadah provides the template and guide map for us to engage in these meaningful conversations on age appropriate levels. 

While we devote so much energy to preparing our homes, guest lists and menus, many people also have the custom of learning a new haggadah every year to help frame contemporary conversations around the seder table. To that end, I am excited to share with you these guiding questions based on the writings of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. I hope they will enhance your seder and enrich your discussions.

Wishing you a chag kasher vsameach!

Rabbi Jonathan Knapp
