\nDescription:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cMa Nishtana\u201d is actually the first two words of a question in Hebrew that is traditionally asked during the Passover Seder. It translates to \u201cWhy is this night different?\u201d or \u201cWhy is tonight different from all other nights?\u201d The question is part of the Passover Haggadah, a text that recounts the story of the Jewish Exodus from Egypt.<\/p>\n

These questions serve as a catalyst for recounting the story of the Jewish people\u2019s liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt, as told in the Book of Exodus. The Passover Seder is a time for families and friends to gather, retell the story, and partake in symbolic foods and rituals associated with the holiday.<\/p>\n

It narrates a sequence of events involving various characters and animals, culminating in the message or lesson of the song.
