Pesach vort:
What was so special about the seder of these Tannaim? If one takes a deeper look into whom these Tannaim were then one could appreciate the greatness of this get-together.Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yeshoua were both levites, Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Elazar Ben Azariah were cohanim, and Rabbi Akiva was a convert (acc to some).Now one can appreciate the greatness, none of these tannaim have a linage of bondage, yet they sat and talked all night about yetizat mitzrayim! How much more so do we have an obligation to tell over the greatness of Hashem.(Rabbi Nebantzol)
