Supper in Kotzk

A certain man was in Kotzk for Pesach. After davening, the gabbai announced that it’s time to eat supper, no mention of a Seder whatsoever. The man got very upset – how can it be that there was no mention of a seder.
                                                                                                    
A few months later, he was thinking things over and decided to give it another chance. It was Yom Kippur. Right before Kol Nidreoi, the Gabbai announced “maariv”.


Theman stormed out of shul. On the holiest day of the year, no mention of Kol Nidrei!? On his way out a chossid asked him what he was so upset about. After hearing what was bothering this man, the chossid explained to him that in Kotzk, every supper is a Seder, every maariv is Kol Nidrei.
