Mrs. Shira Smiles discusses that the ultimate goal of the Seder is instilling and inculcating in ourselves, and our children, Emunah, and the medium to do so is through the telling of the story of Egypt, the סיפור יציאת מצרים. It was in the merit of faith that we were redeemed, and in that merit we will be redeemed in the future.
A new look at the order of the Seder. Hashem’s order is the order of redemption. True redemption is not being enslaved to anyone, even to one’s self. It is absolutely necessary to stop seeing only ourselves, so that we may experience Hashem.
