Haggadah --> Passover Haggadah
"In every generation let each one feel as if he or she came forth out of  Egypt." This tenet strove to make the Exodus from slavery into freedom a living personal experience. It was in this spirit that the story of the liberation was told and handed down from generation to generation, each generation in turn growing up in the knowledge that it would have the responsibility to tell the story to the next one.

The word Haggadah comes from the Torah command - "And you shall tell (v'Higadeta) your children on that day..." Although the minimal fulfillment of this mitzvah is a simple recounting of the going out of Egypt and explaining a few of the Pesach symbols, proper fulfillment requires much more. [Ex 13.8]
The Hebrew term Haggadah means "the telling". A Haggadah is a script that contains the words to be spoken and that describes the actions to be taken at a Passover Seder. At a Seder there may be more than one kind of Haggadah.

The order of the Seder

The Haggadah starts off with The order of the Seder (סימני הסדר), it is said in Aramaic and consists of 14 orders which make up the Passover Seder.

Kaddesh

Kaddesh is Aramaic for Kiddush. This Kiddush is a special one for Passover, it talks about Matzot, and the leaving of Egypt. At the Passover Seder, Jews act themselves in a way that shows freedom and majesty, therefore, most Jews have the custom to have each person's cup at the Seder table is filled by someone else. The Kiddish is normally said by the father of the house or a Kohen.
