\n
• What is the best way to run a Seder?\xa0
\n
• Is it better to have an enjoyable experience even if we compromise some of the more stringent details?\xa0
\n

\n
• How can we access the energy of Pesach to resolve our challenges and constraints \u2013 financial and otherwise?\xa0

\n
• What benefit are the prophecies if they're vague and cryptic?\xa0
\n
• Can we give tzedakah on the condition that the hostages be released?\xa0
