Quotation su Pesahim 10:5

רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל הָיָה אוֹמֵר, כָּל שֶׁלֹּא אָמַר שְׁלֹשָׁה דְבָרִים אֵלּוּ בְּפֶסַח, לֹא יָצָא יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ, וְאֵלּוּ הֵן, פֶּסַח, מַצָּה, וּמָרוֹר. פֶּסַח, עַל שׁוּם שֶׁפָּסַח הַמָּקוֹם עַל בָּתֵּי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם. מַצָּה, עַל שׁוּם שֶׁנִּגְאֲלוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם. מָרוֹר, עַל שׁוּם שֶׁמֵּרְרוּ הַמִּצְרִים אֶת חַיֵּי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְמִצְרָיִם. בְּכָל דּוֹר וָדוֹר חַיָּב אָדָם לִרְאוֹת אֶת עַצְמוֹ כְאִלּוּ הוּא יָצָא מִמִּצְרַיִם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות יג), וְהִגַּדְתָּ לְבִנְךָ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֵאמֹר, בַּעֲבוּר זֶה עָשָׂה ה' לִי בְּצֵאתִי מִמִּצְרָיִם. לְפִיכָךְ אֲנַחְנוּ חַיָּבִין לְהוֹדוֹת, לְהַלֵּל, לְשַׁבֵּחַ, לְפָאֵר, לְרוֹמֵם, לְהַדֵּר, לְבָרֵךְ, לְעַלֵּה, וּלְקַלֵּס, לְמִי שֶׁעָשָׂה לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְלָנוּ אֶת כָּל הַנִּסִּים הָאֵלּוּ, הוֹצִיאָנוּ מֵעַבְדוּת לְחֵרוּת, מִיָּגוֹן לְשִׂמְחָה, וּמֵאֵבֶל לְיוֹם טוֹב, וּמֵאֲפֵלָה לְאוֹר גָּדוֹל, וּמִשִּׁעְבּוּד לִגְאֻלָּה. וְנֹאמַר לְפָנָיו, הַלְלוּיָהּ:

R. Gamliel non voleva dire: Chi non dice queste tre cose su Pesach [cioè, chi non fornisce le ragioni di queste tre cose] non ha adempiuto al suo obbligo: Pesach, Matzah e Maror. Pesach—perché il "passato" (pasach) delle case dei nostri antenati in Egitto. matzah—perché i nostri antenati furono redenti dall'Egitto. Maror—perché gli egiziani amareggiavano (mareru) le vite dei nostri antenati in Egitto. In ogni generazione si deve vedere se stesso come se fosse uscito dall'Egitto, vale a dire. (Esodo 13: 8): "E quel giorno lo dirai a tuo figlio, dicendo: 'Per questo motivo il Signore ha operato per me quando sono uscito dall'Egitto." "Pertanto, siamo obbligati a ringraziare, lodare, esaltare , glorifica, esalta, beatifica, benedici, elevano e acclamano Colui che ha operato per i nostri antenati e per noi tutti questi miracoli. Ci ha liberato dalla schiavitù alla libertà, dal dolore alla gioia, dal lutto alla festa, dal buio pesto a una grande luce e dalla sottomissione alla redenzione— e diremo davanti a lui "Allelukah!"

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

MISHNAH: One mixes him the second cup, and here the son asks⁶²He is supposed spontaneously to ask why this dinner is different from the usual set-up.. If the son does not know how to ask, his father instructs him⁶³The following catalogue is an example of the questions with which the instruction may start. The order of the questions is the same in Maimonides’s text, different in the Babli.: What is the difference between this night and all other nights? For every night we dip once⁶⁴As explained in Note 52., but this night we dip twice. For every night we eat leavened and unleavened bread, but this night only unleavened. For in all other nights we eat meat roasted, preserved⁶⁵By extended cooking. This always is mentioned as a separate category of preparation of food., or cooked, but in this night only roasted. According to the son’s understanding the father teaches him⁶⁶Along the lines explained in Mishnah 5. If children or women do not understand Hebrew, this implies the duty to translate the Haggadah text.. He starts with ignominy⁶⁷As explained in Halakhah 5. and ends with praise and explains from “a lost Aramean was my father” until he finishes the paragraph⁶⁸Deut. 26:5–8. The Babli text, “until he finishes the paragraph completely”, would instruct to include also v. 9, not included in the Haggadah text identical with Sifry Deut. on Deut. 26:5–8..
Rabban Gamliel used to say, anybody who did not teach these three words on Passover did not fulfill his duty, Pesaḥ, mazzah, and bitter herbs. Pesaḥ because the Omnipresent passed over the houses of our forefathers in Egypt, mazzah because our forefathers were freed from Egypt⁸¹A reference to Ex. 12:39 is understood, but is not included in any reliable Mishnah ms.. Bitter herbs because the Egyptians embittered the lives of our forefathers in Egypt. In every generation a person is required to see himself as if he himself had gone out of Egypt, as it was said, you shall tell your son on that day, this is on account of what the Eternal did for me when I left Egypt. Therefore we are required to thank, sing His praise, laud, glorify, exalt, praise in perpetuity, to glorify, Him who did all these miracles for us⁸²Since everybody has to consider himself as if he left Egypt, it is appropriate that here “our forefathers” are not mentioned, in contrast to the Mishnah in the Babli. and led us from slavery to freedom; let us say before Him Hallelujah⁸³The Hallel, Pss. 113–118..
