This a question we ask aloud on the Seder night, a ritual meal celebrated by a whopping 85 percent of Jewish Israelis, secular and religious alike.
Israel Hayom editor Steve Ganot, Voice of Israel editor Ruthie Blum and MADEinISRAEL’s Elyssa Frank discuss the differences between Passover traditions in Israel and in the Diaspora, where two Seder nights are observed.
