The Seder is long, but delightful, and no matter how sleepy we feel at the end of it we are very happy.

The remark captures a familiar Passover experience: the seder’s ritual length can test stamina—especially for children or late-night gatherings—yet its storytelling, songs, and shared meal create a sense of warmth and fulfillment. The contrast between sleepiness and happiness suggests that meaning and communal joy can outweigh physical fatigue. It also implies that the seder’s purpose is not efficiency but immersion: retelling the Exodus, asking questions, and participating in inherited practices that bind a family or community together. In that light, the “delight” is both sensory (food, music) and moral-spiritual (gratitude, freedom, belonging).
