I was listening tonight to the Siyum on Pesachim being livestreamed here on YWN by a group affiliated with Agudah. Several speakers spoke of how we have “squeezed out” or equivalent terms, the “joy” of pesach among our children by fixating on some of the minutiae of how we celebrate yetzias mitzrayim at the seder and not allowing children to be children. I can imagine kinderlach after this past year who might have learned a vert and are bursting with enthusiasm to share it with their family as the seder begins and there being shouted down to WAIT!!, NOT YET!! or OFF TOPIC!! Most parents would be thrilled if their kids were so anxious to share a DT at any point in the seder. I guess we just disagree.
