In every generation, each person must see themselves as if they had personally come out from Egypt.

"To have faith in redemption is to believe that suffering, exile and oppression will end - someday. However distant that day may be, those who can envision it muster the strength to bring it closer. Belief in redemption stands as one of those fundamental human divides. It’s the difference between those who believe we’re in a tunnel, though we sometimes can’t see the light at the end, and those who think there is no tunnel, just a world that’s unalterably dark. The compilers of the haggadah certainly knew the dark times of Jewish history. But they chose to bequeath us a book that defiantly celebrates hope." - David Arnow
