[Avodah] The Yeshivas and the Seder

[Ben Waxman]

Perhaps if one learns the halachot in the context of Sippur Yetziat
Mitrayim. But if one gets into a discussion of some Mishna Bruria about this
or that and do not relate it to what is going on, then I can see the
arguement that those people are missing the point.

> It's not clear what you mean by "learning". Inattention to the proceedings
certainly sounds rude, but isn't it true that learning Hilchos Pesach counts
as Sippur Yetzias Mitrayim in this context?
