We share the story of the Israelites’ escape from bondage after 400 years of oppression in Egypt each year to remind us that though we may be free at present, there are others who are not. By participating in a Seder we become deeply aware of the injustice of slavery, and so it is our responsibility to stay informed and educated and to loudly prevent continued human rights violations and slavery in our times. Unfortunately, some 2,000 years after the time of Moses, slavery has not been eradicated in the world. The trafficking of women and children within domestic, agricultural and sex industries is an enduring reality. Anti-Slavery International estimates that there are currently 20 million people being held as slaves throughout the world. Even this number is largely conjecture, since the voices of the oppressed are not easily heard. What is even more shocking is how prevalent this practice continues to be. The most common form of modern slavery is debt bondage, in which a person is made to give their body as a condition of their loan repayment. Frequently, in order to afford the journey to “freedom,” these people pay with their life savings and go into debt to individuals who make promises they have no intention of keeping. Instead of opportunity, what the immigrants find when they arrive is bondage. This is probably the least-known form of slavery, and yet it is the most widely used. These modern-day slaves live in all 50 states, working as farm hands, domestic servants, sweatshop and factory laborers, gardeners, restaurant and construction workers and prostitutes. Upwards of 50,000 women and children are forced into sexual exploitation every year. But there is hope. Several organizations are committed to eradicating slavery by finding long-term solutions and creating systemic change, including advocating for stronger federal and state laws against human trafficking. “…we are living in the midst of a tragic paradox: no longer is there an underground network to guide slaves to freedom, but rather, there is an underground criminal network to entrap people and sell them into slavery. Until we unite to confront this grave violation of human rights, it will continue to plague the world and feed off vulnerable men, women and children.” — The Freedom Center As we retell the story of the Israelites’ oppression so many generations ago, we must remain committed to helping those who are still enslaved today, and speak out for the freedom of all whenever it is compromised.</span></p><div><span><br /></span></div>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "http://diy-dev.archer-soft.com/node/23981/edit", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "A Haggadah for Justice ", "slug": "haggadah-justice", "author": "Haggadot" }, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 236, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Social Justice - Modern Slavery | Passover haggadah by Kendahl Damashek", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Boiled potato is a popular alternative dating back to the communities in Eastern Europe, where green vegetables were hard to come by. The origin of the dipping ritual goes back to a Roman custom popular during the time the rabbis compiled the Seder. Wealthy Romans started their banquets with fresh vegetables dipped in a sauce or dressing, and so the rabbis chose to start the ceremonial meal in this way to emphasize the taste of freedom. According to Rashi, the medieval “father” of Bible commentary, there’s a connection between the pas in the word Karpas, as used in the Book of Esther to mean cotton, and the pas in the description of Joseph’s colorful coat in the Bible, which was made of Passim. Joseph’s brothers dipped his coat into goat’s blood to deceive their father, and sold him into slavery. In a way, by doing this, the brothers inadvertently sold the following generations of Israelites along with him, since Jacob would follow Joseph to Egypt to escape the famine in Canaan. Later appearances of similar-sounding words that refer to a green vegetable come up in Persian (karafs means parsley) and Greek (karpos means fruit of the soil). The two histories of the word come together at the Seder.</span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "http://diy-dev.archer-soft.com/node/23977/edit", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Karpas", "slug": "karpas" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 241, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Karpas - a Roman Banquet Custom | Passover haggadah by Kendahl Damashek", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

The Seder reminds us that having been oppressed ourselves, we have a responsibility to act upon injustice around us. Today, the four questions give us an opportunity to explore the most effective way to convey the importance of social justice to four different types of personalities: the wise, wicked, simple and innocent. The wise child is interested and engaged and wants to learn more about Passover. This child understands the importance of social justice, but needs direction on how to follow through. The wise child is committed. We want to present this type of person with causes that they can get behind and encourage them to channel their commitment into actions that will have a meaningful impact. Traditionally the wicked son asks about Passover with extreme indifference, and as a result, the response is quite harsh. Because of his attitude, he is told that if he had been in Egypt, he would not have been liberated. His indifference to the plight of others contributes to their ongoing suffering. The Haggadah recommends that we shock him out of his complacency. We must show these personality types that by turning a blind eye to the suffering of others, they not only participate in the torment, but also ensure that they too will eventually suffer the same fate. The simple child wants to know more about what’s going on, and so it’s important to take the time to explain the lesson of the Seder. For this type of learner, direct, clear-cut responses are the most effective. The message is simple — because we were once slaves, we understand the importance of freedom and have a responsibility to help others who may still be oppressed. We show the simple child that out of the depths of darkness, it is possible to find the light. The last child, sometimes referred to as innocent, does not know where to begin to ask questions. The traditional Haggadah recommends that we get them started — these children need some hand-holding. Perhaps individuals like this are not actually innocent, but rather so overwhelmed by the injustice in the world that they don’t know where to begin. We can help by focusing them on one cause that resonate and by pointing the way to small, tangible actions that will make a difference. The four sons remind us that regardless of the method — whether utilizing patience and tenderness or a more direct, even harsh, approach — as former slaves, we must take an active stand against injustice. In the words of Rabbi A.J. Heschel, “The opposite of good is not evil, it is indifference.”</span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "http://diy-dev.archer-soft.com/node/23980/edit", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Questions", "slug": "four-questions" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 215, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Four Ways to Teach Social Justice | Passover haggadah by Kendahl Damashek", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

What a strange combination of punishments, which came about as miraculously as they departed. Today, we are living amongst ‘miracles’ in the eyes of those who came before us. Most of us don’t think twice about our easy access to clean, safe water. But any historical account of urban centers from just 100 years ago, describe the unbearable filth and stench on the streets. New York, London and Paris were all centers of infectious disease and child death rates were as high then as they are now in much of Sub-Saharan Africa. It was sweeping reforms in water and sanitation that enabled the progress we take for granted today. We are living the miracle. Though most Americans now have unlimited access to clean water, globally more than 3.5 million people die each year from water-related disease; 84 percent are children. Investments and technologies are (slowly) bringing the clean water miracle to more remote and poor communities, but there’s a long way to go.

We can also interpret this swelling up metaphorically. Matzah reminds us that as free people, we must not to get too puffed with self-importance, and remember our humble place in the world order. Matzah also reminds us that it is important not to let our lives swell up with overconsumption, and embrace the beauty in simplicity.

Recycle instead of buying the latest and greatest of everything? As we remove bread from our table, for at least one night, let us resolve ourselves to be more thoughtful about the choices we make for our own comfort and convenience.

We eat bitter herbs to give us a physical way to connect with the suffering of those who are not free. In the Bible, the reasoning behind the commandment to retell the story of the Exodus is explained as follows: “you know the soul of the outsider, because you were outsiders in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 23:9). Once a year, on Passover, we share the story so that we do not forget those in our society who, for any number of reasons, may be considered outsiders. The Seder reminds us that </span><em>we</em><span> were the undocumented immigrants in Egypt who put in long hours of hard labor doing the Egyptians’ dirty work; we were the unskilled workers, with no rights, working in subhuman conditions for wages that did not cover the basic necessities of life. Because we know this suffering first hand, we cannot sit back and watch while others struggle. We are grateful for the sumptuous fare we share tonight, but let’s also take a moment to consider those who have labored on the farm or in the factory to provide us with our festive table this evening. The entrepreneurs, farm owners, workers, janitors, truck drivers, loading dock workers and clerks all deserve to make a living wage. Many of us are aware of the human rights abuses that are often connected with the production of cotton, coffee, cocoa, steel, rugs, diamonds and cell phones in other countries, but it does not stop there. Let’s resolve to be more ethical in our purchasing decisions, and consider the companies and circumstances of the people involved in the supply chain, whether we buy products produced locally, through fair trade or from companies who have demonstrated fair and equitable treatment of their employees. The Seder reminds us that we must speak out if we encounter discrimination and abuses in our own workplaces, whether they are based on race, gender, religion, age, national origin, ancestry or disability. A highly respected twentieth century rabbi, Rav Soloveitchik, said this of the Seder: “without manifesting and demonstrating the sense of solidarity, responsibility, unity, and readiness to share and participate, the whole Seder becomes meaningless.” (Genack 2009, p. 27) As former slaves, we must advocate for the dignity and just treatment of all beings, especially of those who do not have the power or ability to speak for themselves.

While it appears to be a grain, and is often prepared that way, quinoa is actually a vegetable, a member of the goosefoot family, which includes beets, Swiss chard, spinach and amaranth. For vegetarians, vegans, people on gluten-free diets and those who are lactose-intolerant, protein-rich quinoa is a Passover godsend. But of course, it’s not that simple. Because of their flavor and cooking similarities to grains, quinoa seeds are often lumped in together with the other banned grain crops. Not all rabbis agree. According to some, the one major problem with quinoa — and more broadly, all Kitniyot, even today — is the issue of not knowing whether there has been some cross-contamination with the grains on the do-not-eat list during the growing, manufacturing and packaging process. Some rabbis maintain that quinoa’s close similarity to the prohibited grains is reason enough to keep it off the Seder table. Still others say that because quinoa grows in the high altitude of the Andes, where Chametz does not grow, there is no problem. As long as the quinoa is processed in a factory that does not also process grains, many rabbis believe that it can be Kosher for Passover. While the rabbis argue, those with gluten allergies, who can’t risk any sort of contamination, have resolved the issue by obtaining quinoa products that have been processed in a way that meets many Passover criteria.

Horseradish, a native crop to southeastern Europe, became the bitter herb of choice for most Ashkenazic Seders because of its prominence in that region. Though horseradish has been around for 3,000 years, until the sixteenth century it was used exclusively for medicinal purposes. Legend has it that the Delphic oracle told Apollo, “The radish is worth its weight in lead, the beet its weight in silver, the horseradish its weight in gold.” Packing more vitamin C than an orange, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin K and mustard oil, the horseradish was used to cure everything from a toothache to cancer, from asthma to tuberculosis. Horseradish was even recommended as a cure for freckles! Despite its name, horseradish is not in the radish family. This root vegetable is actually in the same plant family as mustard, wasabi, broccoli and cabbage. Grated horseradish must be stored in vinegar, or it will lose its pungent taste and become bitter. Red horseradish is simply regular horseradish that has been grated and preserved with beets or beet juice (another root vegetable readily available in southeastern Europe). If you’re looking for an opportunity to have a mid-Seder stretch, consider going into the kitchen and making your own Maror now, with a horseradish root (purchased in advance of the Seder). Peel the horseradish as you would ginger, chop it into large chunks and then grate it in a food processor. Add a bit of vinegar to the food processor to hold in the intense flavor, and keep the mixture together. (Whole-grain vinegar is not Kosher for Passover, but apple cider vinegar can be used instead.) Very pungent and highly aromatic, freshly shredded horseradish has a flavor much edgier than the store-bought variety, so be sure everyone’s water glasses are full, and let the sinus-clearing begin! (Keep an eye on your freckle-faced relatives.)</span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "http://diy-dev.archer-soft.com/node/23986/edit", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Maror", "slug": "maror" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 250, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Horseradish - Not a Radish at All! | Passover haggadah by Kendahl Damashek", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
