The traditional haggadah does not conclude with a dramatic crescendo or a grand statement. It ends with a short acknowledgement that the seder has been completed properly. However, there is a line hidden in this passage with profound implications: “As we have been deemed worthy to prepare this seder, so may we be worthy to fulfill it.” If the seder is a reenactment of the Exodus, then its fulfillment is a new journey out of oppression. May reliving our journey from slavery in Mitzrayim give us the strength to end slavery today.  

!לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בְּנֵי חוֹרִין
L’shana haba b’ney choreen!
Next year in freedom!
