Ideally, one should go slowly through the entire Haggadah, stopping at important points to teach valuable insights. However, there are invariably many unique situations (such as leading a seder for the uninitiated or wanting to involve young children) that will require the sensitivity of the leader to efficiently move through the Seder. Sometimes the best option is to do a Seder as usual and allow guests to come and leave as they please. Therefore, before one decides to use these leniencies, one should discuss the situation with your local rabbi. Below is a listing of the minimum amount that one must say from the Haggadah and still fulfill all the biblical and rabbinic requirements of the Seder.
2. Pg. 20-21 Kiddush – the 1st cup of wine
