My cousin sent this to me, and I thought it was worth posting, people would learn and benefit from it.. the original article written by Rav Chaim Sabato was published in Yedit Acharonot in 2022. My cousin translated it for himself (ie it was not published in English)... I think it is a powerful article, especially with us at war now as the Pesach holiday enters, and some of our children, siblings, parents, spouses, may be off at war, celebrating the Pesach seder far away from home...

Here is a thought I hope to express at the Pesach seder... Yachatz Yachatz is a point in the seder that is often overlooked. Many do it "on the sly" with the host breaking the matza and hiding it quickly before anyone notices, as everyone is still busy munching on their potato or parsley from karpas and chatting and trying to get more potatoes.
