Why is this night different from all other nights?

On all other nights we eat both leavened bread and matzah. Tonight we only eat matzah.

On all other nights we eat all kinds of vegetables, but tonight we eat bitter herbs.

On all other nights we aren’t expected to dip our vegetables one time. Tonight we do it twice.

On all other nights we eat either sitting normally or reclining. Tonight we recline.

How is this Passover different from all other Passovers?

On all other Passovers, some of us were content and some of us were afraid. But on this Passover, we are all afraid.

On all other Passovers, we ate together. But on this Passover, we eat apart.

On all other Passovers, some of us were well and some of us were sick. But on this Passover, many of us are sick.

On all other Passovers, we were distracted. But on this Passover, we are vigilant and hopeful.
