Q. Dear Rabbi another question. Does a woman who is a widow have to say the Haggadah with her children and tell them the story of Yetziat Mitzraim as their father did?
What happens if she gets married again. Does the stepfather now have to recite the Haggadah with his step children?
A. Poskim debate whether a woman is included in the mitzva of telling the story of Yetzias Mitzraim to her children. (See Pri Megodim 472: Eishel A. 15, Kovetz Halochos 26: 12).
Horav Dovid Pam and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a maintain she should. However, is she marries again, the stepfather should recite that Haggadah with his step children.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit’a
