A special "Did you Notice?" for Passover:

 - The basic premise of the Haggadah is the telling of the Exodus from Egypt but the Haggadah does not contain the full story.

- Moses, the main character in the exodus story is mentioned in the entire Haggadah only once, incidentally, in the context of a quote from the Bible.

- The Haggadah contains a blessing for bread (Bless you, Lord our God, ruler of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth).

- Although women played a dramatic role in the Biblical Exodus (The midwives Shiphrah and Puah, Yocheved, Miriam, Pharaoh’s daughter) they have all virtually disappeared from the Haggadah.
