This morning we discuss Sivan Rahav Meir's question - Do we want to be redeemed? Are we ready when the opportunity presents itself? How can we take from the Passover Seder the readiness to recognize, and seize a window of opportunity that may quickly close if we do not embrace it immediately? This should be the practical result of a meaningful Seder - to live with this readiness at all times. Leaving Egypt is not the main thing. The main thing is choosing where to go when at last we have the chance.
