This verse contains the central message of the Seder and a Hebrew word rich in meaning. והגדת לבנך - v'-hi-gad'-ta l'-bincha means "you shall teach your children" and is the root word for the more familiar Haggadah ( הגדה ) which primarily consists of telling the Passover story to the next generation. The same Hebrew root נ-ג-ד has another meaning which is to bind, join and connect. What is the connection between telling a story and joining together? By recounting the story of the Exodus, we are doing more than recalling events that occurred long ago. We are connecting one generation to the next. Through their tireless efforts providing nourishment and sustenance to all who are needy, Meir Panim is uniting families of all generations ensure the continuation of this Passover tradition.
