Pesach Seder With The Family Or The Chofetz Chaim?
Seder night is the highlight of Pesach for many Jewish families, but it can be challenging to keep children excited and engaged in the rituals. The key is to make it fun and interactive. Here are some tips on how to keep your children enthused throughout the evening:
1. Tell stories – Telling stories is a great way to help children better understand the meaning behind Seder night. Choose stories or parables that relate directly to Pesach, such as why we eat matzah or cover our eyes during the Haggadah prayer.
2. Include kids’ songs – Children often find traditional music dull, so introduce upbeat kids’ tunes and classic Pesach melodies. Ask everyone to join in and sing, creating a more relaxed and joyous atmosphere.
3. Utilize games – Introduce creative games into your Seder night activities, such as charades or word puzzles related to Pesach themes. You can even make up your own game!
4. Set out special treats – Give children something to look forward to by setting out a plate of special yummy snacks just for them (e.g., chocolate coins). Not only will it keep their attention and curiosity piqued, but it’s also an excellent way for kids to learn about different Pesach symbols like maror and haroset.
5. Ask questions – Keep children actively engaged by asking questions throughout the Seder night. These can range from simple ones, such as why we eat matzah, to more complex ones, regarding the deeper meaning of Pesach. Make sure to involve everyone in the discussion and ask each person to share their thoughts and ideas.
Following these tips ensures that your family’s Pesach seder night is meaningful and enjoyable for everyone! With some effort and creativity, it can be an exciting evening that your children will never forget. Enjoy!
