Looking at the original text and again at the liturgy of the Passover seder, it is not difficult to see how the biases of the rabbis completely altered a simple question into a boundary of acceptability and inclusion in the Jewish people and its story. The rabbis, in interpreting the text of Deuteronomy, essentially determine (seemingly arbitrarily) lines of communal acceptability that thereby limit and judge the very questions they seem simultaneously to want to encourage in the next generation of Jewish children.
