""Chayyav adam lirot et atzmo ke'ilu hu yatza miMitzrayim-a person is obligated to look upon himself as if he exited from Egypt." On Pesach a Jew is obligated not simply to recall a historical event but to imagine himself an actual participant in that event. Rambam's formulation is "Chayyev adam leharot et atzmo-a person is obligated to show himself" as one who departed from Egypt. A fantasy, to be sure. It is difficult enough to enter into a fantasy, yet Rambam requires not only that we enter into the fantasy but that we act it out as well. The essence of the obligation is internalization of long-ago events to the point that they are both intellectually and emotionally no different from personally experienced phenomena. To what purpose? To appreciate the omnipotence of the Deity who made possible the miraculous events surrounding the Exodus. For Rambam, intellectual appreciation is insufficient; it must lead to an emotional experience perceivable to an onlooker.
