In each and every generation a person must see himself as if he personally lefty Egypt. As it says, “And you
shall tell your son on that day as follows: for this purpose Hashem did for me when I left Egypt.” The Holy
One blessed is He did not only redeem our ancestors; He redeemed us as well. As it says, “And He took us out
from there in order to bring us to and to give us the Land He promised to our forefathers.”
What Does רודו רוד לכב ” ”Mean and How do We Accomplish This? ‐
Rina Yanowitz (8th grade)
“ רודו רוד לכב ”means that “in every generation one must look upon himself as if he had personally gone out of
Egypt.” This is one of the most important phrases stated in the Haggadah. From this phrase, we remember the
pain that our past generations suffered. We try to feel and understand the experience of slavery and liberation so
we can try to look at life with appreciation and push our world in a better direction.
Today we do a few mitzvot to fulfill the mitzvah of Bechol Dor Vador. For example, during Pesach we eat mat-
zah to remind us of the unbaked bread our ancestors ate while leaving Egypt. Near the beginning of the seder we
sing the song ” ,וייה םידבע ” and act as if we were the slaves in Egypt. Towards the end of the seder we act as if
we were the Jews that finally had freedom, and left. There are a lot more mitzvot similar to this that we perform
to fulfill the mitzvah of “ ,רודו רוד לכב ” within the Seder. How many can you find?
