Searching for the Afikoman was the highlight
March 28, 2010 4:01 am

In my family also my father always hid the afikoman, and the kids all searched for it with great energy. The finder got a nice prize. It was always the highlight of the seder for us kids. When else did we get to play hide and seek with our father, and a get a prize too.

Chabad minhag.

The Chabad minhag is NOT to steal the afikoman because it is considered to teaching the children to steal, an obviously bad middah.

Thank you

Yasher Koach Rabbi Butman Shlita. I have only one question: the hebrew version of “Shabbos Night Live” is downloadable, why not the English version?
