Seders have a way of being waaaay too fun, (ie. 4 cups of wine, whacky songs about goats, and Afikomen robbery). The kittel, the garment that we wear on serious occasions like Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashana, your wedding and burial day, reminds us that while having a blast, don’t forget the serious halachot (laws) that are required from us of this spiritual seder night! Speaking of "spiritual," we also have this gear on to dress the part of an angel - All white, all spiritual, all the time (Anaheim Angels jersey's were equally acceptable in '02) The Kli Yakar has the most amazing following explanation: the whole reason we were in Egypt in the first place was the jealousy over the Colored Coat of Joseph. We demonstrate our remorse for that resentment the brothers had for one another, by simply wearing white!
