What has changed that order, prior to that order?

That in the previous order no one bothered to look for the afikoman because there was no one to hide nor anyone to look.
That in that order we sat alone with lettuce, an egg and some small gefilta and the Haggadah because there was no desire to prepare delicacies except for people.

That we told in the Exodus and hoped from the bottom of our hearts that if we passed through Pharaoh we would pass through this as well.

The sky, the moon, the stars and beyond them are the limit.
Because sometimes dreams come true if only, even a little, want …

Happy and Kosher Passover.
