Tonight we will also set aside the afikomen, the matzah that is traditionally eaten at the end of the meal. In a smaller Seder, we would now hide the Afikomen, but here it is already hidden. Later, when the children search for the Afikomen, it reminds us that the Jewish people, like the broken matzah, can never be lost or destroyed. The Afikomen also reminds us, the adults, that our children have a right to be heard.
