As Pesach approaches, many families feel the pressure long before they feel the joy.

In this conversation, Rabbi Greenwald and Rabbi Yudkowsky explore how to prepare for the Seder in a way that is calmer, sweeter, and more connected. The atmosphere we create around Pesach shapes what our children will carry with them for years to come.

They share practical preparation to the deeper meaning of the Seder itself: how parents can make Yetzias Mitzrayim feel alive, how to speak to different kinds of children, and how the four sons are not just four personalities around the table, but parts of every one of us.

They also explores the tension built into the Seder night itself: pain and praise, struggle and freedom, brokenness and redemption. What does it mean to begin with degradation and end with praise? How do we help children, and ourselves, move from constriction to expansiveness?
