Greetings everybody, and welcome to one of the longest dinners of your life. On your right, you will see four cups just waiting to be filled with wine, and on your left, you will spot a tray with mostly unappealing food, as well as a big, circular cracker that will be sustaining your appetite for the next eight days. It is most likely that if you look around the table, some of the children will be asleep, but don't be envious, in just a couple of hours, you will be able to rest as well! Brace yourself for countless songs, an extraordinary bowl of soup, and a very likely spillage of grape juice. As the night progresses, you will learn the exact reasons and events that have led up to you being at this exact place and time. Get ready to learn the marvelous story of the Jewish exodus from centuries of slavery. Get ready to learn the marvelous story of Pesach.
