Sometimes you feel like a link in a chain that stretches back across the millennia. Sometimes you understand what tradition really means. Tradition doesn't mean bagels and lox. Tradition doesn't mean chicken soup and kneidlach.

Nothing in the Torah is superfluous. Maybe Moshe's intent was to symbolize that the lifeblood of Judaism is the repetition of the parents to the children.
