  Haggada
In Judaism, the parts of Talmud which are not dealing directly with the laws for Jews in daily life, but instead illustrate the law questions — as opposed to the Halacha.
Much of the Haggada was created as a response to the challenge that Christianity represented from 2nd century and onwards.

We shall attempt to prove that there is a four part structure to the Haggada, aimed at adapting the content to the educational objective of "ve-higadeta" ("And you shall tell").
It comes as no surprise that the Haggada is divided into four sections, since that number is central to the Seder.
The Haggada summarizes [mishna 5] as follows: "In each generation a person must see himself...." This is the essence and purpose of the entire narrative foundation which we have seen in the Haggada.

Therefore, it is very meaningful that the Haggada chose specifically this pasuk of 'avadim hayinu' to introduce its discussion of WHY we are obligated to tell the story of Yetziat Mitzrayim on this special evening.
Certainly, the classic text of the Haggada should be read by the person leading the Seder (tradition should be tampered with so readily), but the words of its key sections should be translated and explained clearly (and in an interesting way) to everyone who has gathered.
Hence, it is not by chance that the Haggada uses specifically this pasuk to explain why we are obligated to 'tell the story of the Exodus' every year, as that very pasuk begins the Torah's explanation for why we are obligated to keep all of God's laws.

 Haggada - A Different Angle
Halaka pushes themselves into the spaces that are supposed to be haggada, so that it becomes more and more difficult to tell what is halaka and what is haggada, what is not halaka.
Haggada seems even less concerned about actually having anyone hear anything than halaka is.
There is not a head in the band, not a fundamental law, nothing to anchor the output.

Titled "The Open Door" — a reference to the ancient injunction to invite even the poorest of Israel to the Seder —; the new Haggada is the fifth one to be published by the Reform movement's Central Conference of American Rabbis and the first since 1974.
It is the movement's first fully egalitarian Haggada, with readers having the option of reciting each prayer in Hebrew using either masculine or feminine God language.
The full text of the Haggada is included, but the book will be most useful in the hands of a good Seder leader, who can offer up Leibowitz's insights and challenge the guests to find new meanings in passages they have read — or, more likely, skimmed — dozens of times.

Jerusalem, March 5 - One reason the Passover Haggada is a perennial best seller is that it has everything a good story needs—suffering, salvation, an evil king, a hero, a good supporting cast, not to mention Divine intervention.
Friends and colleagues with whom I met casually exchanged the latest intelligence, gleaned from newscasts, as to the hour and day the war was predicted to begin.

Halakah is enforceable in Jewish courts, Haggada is unenforceable in courts but is required by society.

Reading the Haggada with this kind of expectation is like sitting down to read a playwright’s notes for a drama he has in mind and expecting that an award-winning musical will unfold magically before your eyes as you sit passively in your easy chair.
The Haggada is only a set of notes and strategies for you to develop, using your imagination, creativity, and knowledge; it is not a complete drama, with script, staging, scenery, and songs included.
These answers, and the type of child to whom each answer is to be given, are spelled out in the Haggada in the section we all know well: the section of the “four sons,” the wise, the wicked, the simple, the silent.

 Passover & Redemption
Encyclopedia Judaica defines redemption as "salvation from the states or circumstances that destroy the value of human existence or human existence itself." At its core lies a relatively simple idea: The future will be better than the present.
To believe otherwise is to reject the promise of hope that animates the entire story of the Exodus and the Haggada.
