Why is this Passover different from all other Passovers? 
“As the mah nishtanah, the four questions, remind us, this night will most likely be different then all other nights, and in fact all other Seders. Just as Jewish tradition asks us to use the differences of the Seder night as entry points into the story of the Jewish people, my hope is that we all will find ways to use the difference of this Seder to connect deeply with those and that which we hold dear.
The Seder was developed over 2,000 years ago following the destruction of the Temple as a home-based replacement for the Paschal sacrifice. At its core, the Seder is trying to give access to an experience that is impossible to fully recreate. The Seder as we know it is the result of a world of rapidly changing needs, and the product of incredible innovation and imagination to address those needs. This was as true 2,000 years ago as it is today.” 
-Rabbi Charlie Schwartz
