And wouldn’t you think we would celebrate our freedom and initiation as Bnei Yisroel by learning instead of chewing Matza, Maror, and cups of wine? And Purim? Oy. Why don’t we just learn through the day? Why do we even have a Shabbos Seuda when could have had a ‘meaningful fast’ instead while learning profound thoughts and insights?

Worse yet, lately I’ve noticed how Yeshiva Bochurim throw away a night Seder in order to dance at a friend’s wedding. That should be the most important time to learn for him. The Zechus of each word is worth more than a kick and a clap — put together, no?
