B"H this year I was blessed to have my own private seder, and afterwards coming back from the mikva to go to shacharis I knew it was right about Aloas Hashachar (dawn), afterwards I looked it up, the official time for dawn was 4:40, my watch then read 4:41 but it is around a minute fast - so I don't know if I made it or not (it could be that the mitzva is till later - like the haggada says about R' Akiva and the sages that they were talking about the exodus until the time for the reciting of the Shema), but I jumped at the opportunity to actually ask someone Mah Nishtana, and that is when the opportunity presented itself, I was passing by a secular teenage boy, so I called out to him, "Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!" and then I said to him "Mah Nishtana Halaila Hazeh Meekul Halailoas?" - Why is this night different than all other nights? - and the kid was really happy to hear me, I didn't catch everything he said, but he ended with an emphatic "Chag Sumaich!" B"H. This kid was my Mah Nishtana this year!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!
