[Avodah] Vihgadto Levincho

[SBA]

From: "kennethgmiller at juno.com" < >
 Halichos Shlomo . occasionally, those at the table could tell that RSZA was
quietly explaining to himself (mefaresh bayno l'vayn atzmo) the first words
of the Hagadah in spoken Yiddish: Avadim - knecht, hayinu l'faro - zaynen
mir geven tzu Paro, etc.)"

The "Minhogei CS" [10:15] writes that the CS spent the entire Seder talking
to the young children - translating every word of the Hagada and explaining
'tochen ha'inyan' to them. He didn't say any Drush at all during the Seder.
 
He was clearly following the psak of the Rema 473:6.

In his Droshos he writes that the Seder is not for giving pilpulim etc, but
purely to talk about the Nissim veNiflaos of Hashem.

The fact that he had to point this out shows that even in his days people
were saying Toros and pshetlech at the seder - rather than concentrating on
poshuteh pshat.
