Celebrating Pesach alone?

Hi,

In 'Ha Lachma Anya' we say, "Let all who are hungry come participate in our Pesach."

"Some explain 'Let all who are hungry come participate in our Pesach' to mean that everyone should act as paupers regarding the Pesach. One should not say, 'I am wealthy, so I will acquire a Pesach offering for myself, and eat it alone.' Thus the Torah says, 'Acquire for yourselves a sheep, for your families.'"

(R' Tzidkiyahu ben R' Avraham haRofei, Shibbolei haLeket 218)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
