Zvi Gluck, Rabbi Yakov Horowitz, and Rabbi Avi Landa emphasize that the Seder night is for the children. Keep them involved and asking questions, rather than lengthy Torah discussions. A faster Seder ensures engagement and fun for the kids. #SederNight #JewishTradition #FamilyEngagement #Passover

Another idea I just want to say, just in
terms of like overall perspective,
especially for the Seder night, is you
see that Chazal have so much focus
throughout the entire Seder on keeping
the kids involved, keeping the kids
asking questions, feeling good, wanting
to be a part of it. It's not a night
that is designed for the adults to have
fun, to darshan all the Sifrei Torah,
the secrets of the Torah. It's that you
could save that for the next morning
when you wake up for nates because
you're into Kabbalistic things and even
though you stayed up all night, you also
stayed up for tikkun chatzos and but for
the Seder night, we're there for the
children. We're there to keep them
involved and keep them engaged. And we
can say kal vachomer ben beno shall kal
vachomer, we could say certainly it
makes sense that that Chazal would want
us to keep our children safe and healthy
throughout the Seder night. If that
means making a little bit of a faster
Seder, which maybe there's even some
halachic uh foundation for in terms of
when you're eating the afikoman and
there's no reason to keep everyone
starving until really late at night cuz
you're darshaning every single uh line
of Maggid. You can save all those divrei
Torah for the meal time and for
afterwards. But again, the point is that
the whole Seder should be something that
the kids should be involved in.
