HOW CAN WE FREE OTHERS?
The haggadah implies that in each era we must work toward liberating new groups of people for we cannot be truly free until all are free. One way to enrich your family's seder is to select an oppressed group of people and then make a commitment during the seder to help liberate them. Discuss what can be done during the seder.
