(RNS) Jonathan Berman was 3 years old when he first regaled his extended family with the Four Questions at their seder, the ritual meal at which Jews each year retell the story of Passover.
Wearing a bow tie and a yarmulke too big for his head, he’d belt them out in fluent Hebrew and English.
“I was a Ma Nishtana star,” Berman said, using the Hebrew name for the Four Questions, which get to the heart of the holiday by asking and answering why Jews celebrate Passover in the first place.
The honor of the Four Questions falls to the youngest person at the table capable of the task, a tradition that reinforces the biblical commandment to pass on the story of the Exodus to the next generation.
