The Rebbe says:
1. The Passover Seder has fourteen steps . Maggid (telling over the story of the exodus) is the fifth step. During this stage we raise our Matzah (unleavened bread) and say:

Assembly Member Dov Hikind
On the day after David Greenfield's stunning 18-point special election victory over Joe Lazar, leaders in the Hasidic community of Boro Park were already making calls about the elections this November.
But they were not looking for a candidate to run against Greenfield—though he will have to run again for the Council seat he just won.
