2. Using a cup of wine for birkat hamazon
a. Tosafot – Unlike other times of the year, at the Seder every person recites birkat
hamazon on a cup of wine.
b. Shulchan Aruch – Every person recites birkat hamazon on a cup of wine.
c. Mishna Berura – Each of the four cups is used in conjunction with another
mitzva.

3. Forgetting Ya’aleh Veyavo
a. Rabbi Akiva Eiger – Both men and women must repeat birkat hamazon if it
was forgotten, since both are obligated to eat a kezayit of matza.

Hallel

1. Gemara – One recites Hallel together with the consumption of the korban pesach.
2. Differences between Hallel at the Seder and Hallel recited at other times
a. There is no beracha recited at the Seder.
b. Women generally are exempt from reciting Hallel.
c. Hallel is usually recited only during the day.
i. Chatam Sofer – Hallel is recited at night at the Seder because it is
considered praise for a miracle that just happened now.
ii. Ran – Hallel at the Seder is not considered a standard recitation, but rather
a spontaneous expression of song and praise for Hashem.

Nirtza

1. We declare “next year in Jerusalem” after drinking the fourth cup and reciting a beracha
acharona.

2. This is when we ask Hashem to find favor with our Seder experience and bring us
the final redemption speedily.
