The following is from the Collected Writings of RSRH /volume I Nissan
V page 98.
And when now there comes the [Pessach] festival itself, observe that
it is not our temples and synagogues that are to be decorated for the
celebration of our national birth. It is in our homes that the
awakening is to take place. Whoever wishes to know what Judaism is,
let him come and see our Pessach Week!
All rooms which are used in our family life or for the pursuit of our
livelihood will carry the imprint of our festival. The spirit of this
festival penetrates into the humblest corner of our earthly
surroundings and with its coming, dispels any denial of the Divine
source of our Redemption. Bread is to be prepared for our table, not
for the altar. This bread "has so much to tell" about our
unprecedented Deliverance, which was prolonged until the midnight
hour when finally the Redemption and Rescue took place. These are the
Divine acts unparalleled in the history of mankind.
