Challenging our Understanding of the Four Sons

Take a few minutes to look and analyze this picture illustrated by David Wander entitled The Four Sons From the Haggadah in Memory of the Holocaust, 1985.

Discuss which book represents which child.

Is the fire the Rasha, burning our holy texts, or the Chacham who’s passion for Torah burns bright. Is the Chacham the one who has no words on his page for he is creating his own unique throughs, or has he closed the Sefer because he knows it be’al peh - by heart. 

What about the תם and שאינו יודע לשאול 

Take a few minutes to discuss.
