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.
The Chabad minhag is NOT to steal the afikoman because it is considered to teaching the children to steal, an obviously bad middah.
RABBI BUTMAN VERY MUCH! PLEASE TEACH US MORE
I “give” my afikomen to my kids to hide and then i search for it.
lemaskono is stealing the afikoman good or not?
In my family my father hides the afikomen and we find it that way we don’t even get close to doing a bad middah.
you really inspired me rabbi butman!
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?
