Question
The requirement to tell the Pesach story to our children at the Seder is derived from Exodus 13:8. But Exodus 13:8 does not literally direct us to tell the Pesach story to our children at the Seder. It is by an interpretation of Exodus 13:8 that we are directed to tell the Pesach story to our children at the Seder. My question: Who made this interpretation, when did they make this interpretation, what did they say, and where is this memorialized?  

Question
Shalom aleichem. This video came out in the 80’s. It was an introduction to Judaism. Starts with creation, goes on to discuss all the holidays. It featured a family explaining everything about Judaism. I believe the video was intended for children primarily. The “father” had a mustache. In the seder segment the wife eats grated horseradish for maror, says that if you want to feel what it’s like to have fire in your mouth, this is what it feels like. (Or something along these lines). Do you recognize this video and know the name of it? Thanks.

Question
Dear Rabbi: A student came to me the other day with the following question in reference to Genesis 15:13: "Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them 400 years." The young man is a Russian Jew who has become very interested in Judaism and is trying very hard to understand things from a Jewish perspective. Perhaps you would be willing to send me an opinion on this passage? He was very disturbed by it, commenting that he could not understand how G-d would willingly allow his people to be enslaved for 400 years. I would very much appreciate an answer from one of your rabbis on this. Many thanks.  

Question
Dear Rabbi, almost every Seder Plate I've ever seen arranges the six items in a circle, in a specific order that seems to be nobody's minhag (custom). I've asked Rabbis and looked at various Haggadahs and nobody seems to have the minhag to arrange them the way all the plates are made, not Sephardim, not Ashkanazim, not Litvaks and not Chassidim. How come?

Question
