==== In Chassidic Teaching ==== The Rebbe brings in the book "Hayom Yom" the explanation of the Rebbe Rashab for "Mah Nishtanah" according to Chassidut: Why is this night different from all other nights - How is this exile (exile is compared to night) the last one, different from all the exiles that the Jewish people have experienced? On all nights we do not dip even once - In all exiles there was cleansing (dipping in the sense of purification) of the soul but not completely. On this night twice - In this exile the cleansing is final for both the soul and the body. On all nights we eat chametz or matzah - In all exiles we had both a divine soul and an animal soul (chametz and matzah). On this night all matzah - But in the redemption there will only be matzah because impurity will be completely nullified. On all nights we eat other vegetables - Vegetables allude to jealousy (as it is written, whoever is jealous turns green) and in previous exiles there was much jealousy throughout the world. On this night all maror - But in the last exile, jealousy is greater, even among the righteous. On all nights we eat either sitting or reclining - Sitting and reclining allude to two ways of serving God, one that leads to spreading pleasure and a higher level that leads to essential pleasure. In exile, some reach higher levels and some less. On this night we all recline - In the redemption, everyone will reach the sublime level in the service of God.
