On the night of the Passover Seder, we are commanded to recount the story of the Exodus from Egypt, as it is written (Exodus 13:8), "And you shall tell your child on that day, saying, 'This is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.'" The Gerer Rebbe of Brisk (from the Haggadah of Passover from the House of Levy) raised a difficulty, as every night there is a mitzvah to remember the Exodus from Egypt, so what is added on the night of the Seder in the mitzvah of recounting the Exodus that is different from other nights.

He divides the two mitzvot into three distinctions:

A. In remembering the Exodus, one fulfills the obligation by recollection within oneself, while in the mitzvah of recounting the Exodus, one must tell his child or another through questions and answers, and even if one is alone, he must ask and answer as if telling the story to another.

B. In remembrance, it is enough to just remember, while in recounting, one must begin with disparagement and end with praise.

C. Additionally, in recounting, one must explain the reasons for the mitzvot of the Seder night, as Rabban Gamliel said regarding the Paschal offering, matzah, and bitter herbs.

The Gerer Rebbe added that in remembrance, it is enough to just recall, while in recounting one should engage in the halachot relevant to the Exodus from Egypt.

It seems important to elaborate during the recounting of the Exodus on the details of the Ten Plagues with many midrashim and explanations showing how God acted in Egypt measure for measure through the Ten Plagues. We will bring many of their words later. In this context, it seems there are two aspects: A. What the Egyptians were punished for against God. B. What they were punished for against the entire Jewish nation, as will be clarified later.
