My Four Questions
Just in case you haven't had enough Pesach-prep at your own house. I've been trying to think of questions to provoke my in-laws at the (usually tedious) family seder:
- Why doesn’t the haggadah mention Moses? Wasn’t he the star of this film?
- Why do we say that G-d brought "me" out of Egypt? I’ve never even been there.
- Jacob and his family went down to Egypt because of famine. Why didn't they go home when the famine was over?
- Why do we say, "Dayeinu," it would have been enough, if G-d hadn’t done all he did?
My answers coming soon. Feel free to leave your own.

1. Um, God is the star, I guess.
2. God made you Jewish. That's the most fundamental point of leaving Egypt.
3. The same reason 5 million American Jews didn't make aliyah.
4. It would have been enough... reason to give thanks. (See what comes after Dayenu.)
