A common and understandable Pesach concern is to worry about how the children are going to feel at Seder. But that should be only one concern. Seder is actually chock full of grownup issues that children can’t possibly understand. Slavery and freedom. History and destiny. The universal and the particular. How do we make a grown-up Seder even with children present? And how do we end up looking forward in time as the Haggadah demands, rather than facing backward?
