As a kid, I asked a lot of questions. I would follow my
mother around saying: “What’s that? How does this work? Why do we do this? When
did you do that?” I’ve been told that I had an adorable blend of
inquisitiveness and pestering.
It will come as no surprise, then, that Passover is my favorite
holiday. The Four Questions are an iconic moment in the seder. I am an
oldest child and the eldest of my cousins, so it was never my job to ask, but I
would still spend the night peppering my family seder with other
requests for explanations and information.
