The hagadit I have seen say the question from the wise child is: "What is the meaning of the testimonies, statutes, and laws which the L-rd our G-d has commanded us?", whereas the question from the wicked child is: "What does this service mean to you?"
But, in the article, the wise child uses the word "you", while the wicked child uses the word "us".
This was one of your best writing ever Joshua. And yes, we are all a little like the 4 children, especially living in the diaspora of America. Always trying to fit in.
This was the most moving and beautiful piece, it brought me to tears. How right that Jewish people must come together in every way. Find each other! That is your purpose.
I think the Passover is not so much about the exodus, it led to that, but about the blood of the lamb spread on the doorpost which meant the angel passed over those who were covered by it and so were saved. It’s about obedience, trust and faith.
We all thank your daughter for extending your celebration by remembering those still not free in the dungeons of Gaza. Our hearts break everyday for all of those who suffered, just because they were Jewish.
Beautifully written. Chag Sameach.
Great article, but I'm a little confused.

It brought me to tears as well!
I was going to write the same thing! Wow.
You have written such a beautiful story. Thank you.
CHAG SAMEACH. There is nothing to add or dispute in your beautiful writing.
"Next year in Jerusalem."
Shalom

I think I will incorporate this into our second Seder very shortly. Chag Pesach Sameach.
So true. So well written. Thank you for your writings. Chag sameach.
Thank you. How your article fits this Seder perfectly. I will certainly read it at next year's Seder.
Sorry this got cut off. We just keep going and growing in knowledge and experience. It made me cry and I was very moved. Thank you! Chag Sameach.
Very nice. Thank you for writing it.
Lovely
Mostly I encounter the “When are we eating?” & “I’m starving” kids
I am not a Jew, but I found this beautiful and powerful. I am glad the world has Jews in it.
