Passover is often referred to as a "Night of Questions" because the greatest sign of our liberation is our ability to think, to struggle, and to question. The Four Questions are actually mere examples of the kinds of questions we should be asking on Passover! In fact, as one KT member pointed out to me yesterday, it used to be that if others at the seder asked questions, one was not even obligated to recited those specific four "Ma Nishta-nas". Passover is a night for exploration, exploring the questions in our history and life regardless of whether or not we find concrete answers. Here are some of the questions that Kol Tzedek members have been thinking about in preparation for Passover. In all the torah school classes and in our 20 week Judaism for Everyone class, Kol Tzedekers have been using their sechel (wisdom, mind), coming up with questions to foster interesting conversation as we prepare for and sit down for seder. A document of questions is attached for you to bring to your seder table if you choose!
