However, for some of us there are things plaguing our own lives that feel far worse, and as much as we spend Passover talking about the plagues of Egypt, we should also talk about the mental health plagues of today. </p>\n\n<p>As you recite the traditional 10 plagues in your Haggadah, consider adding the following list: </p>\n\n<p><strong>Fear - </strong>Being in a constant state of fear (fight-or-flight) affects our body’s processes, e.g., digestion, blood pressure, body temperature (byjus.com). Our body functions best when we are not on edge.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Self-judgment</strong> - Just as life’s pace has changed during the pandemic, so has our daily routines. We are allowed to be less productive than before the pandemic. We must be kind to ourselves during a time where the world is not so kind to us.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Imposter Syndrome</strong> - Thanks to social media, it is common to think we are not doing enough. Remember that everyone has these fears –– even the people who post these career updates.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Burnout</strong> - It is difficult to draw the line between the work day and the post-work day. Since everything is online, it feels like the work day never ends. Remember to emphasize the demarcation between work and relaxation to avoid burnout.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Bereavement/Grief </strong>- The most difficult part of a deadly virus must be not being able to grieve in the traditional manner. At a time when one wants to sit shiva and be physically close to others, most cannot be. With more than 500,000 deaths in the United States, many people are experiencing grief they are not able to deal with in the traditional manner.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Anxiety and depression</strong> - As of September 2020, eight out of 10 people experienced severe anxiety symptoms (mhanational.org). And since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, even more people have experienced moderate to severe symptoms of depression (mhanational.org). These people can be a family member, a friend or the neighbors on either side of your house!</p>\n\n<p><strong>Trauma/Stressor-Related Symptoms</strong> - More than a quarter (26 percent) of adults experienced symptoms of trauma or stress-related disorders since the start of the pandemic (cdc.gov). This means that one in four people, might be experiencing these symptoms right now.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Isolation/loneliness - </strong>Seven out of 10 of those screened for moderate to severe symptoms of depression and anxiety noted isolation and loneliness to be among the top three contributors to their depression and anxiety (mhanational.org). Now is the time to take advantage of technology –– get on a Zoom or Facetime call with your friends and family!</p>\n\n<p><strong>Substance Abuse</strong> - More than 13 percent of adults use substances as a coping mechanism for anxiety and depression in 2020 (cdc.gov). This is about three students from my small statistics class of 25.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Suicidal ideation</strong> - Nearly 11 percent of adults seriously considered suicide in the past month (cdc.gov). That number is 0.15 percent more than the previous year –– .015 percent might seem like a small number, but it accounts to about 500,000 people.</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "https://thebluedovefoundation.org/passovers-connection-to-mental-health/", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "Favorites 2021", "slug": "favorites-2021-1", "author": "Haggadot" }, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 299, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "10 Plagues of Mental Health | Passover haggadah by The Blue Dove Foundation", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

The shank bone is the helping hand lent to those who need it most. We all struggle; that’s part of being human. We all will have tough times when we need that helping hand. If we can remember to accept help, we can move forward and start to heal. And when we are in a stable place (free from what kept us stuck and oppressed) we can reach out to those still struggling, remembering that, as humans, we will go back and forth between freedom and oppression.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Egg (Beitzah): </strong> The egg represents the life cycle. It’s a reminder that there are times of sacrifice but also times of hope! After winter comes spring, and so it goes for mental health. It’s traditional to roast or char the egg, leading to a fun interpretation— an egg, just like us, is resilient! The hotter the flame, the tougher we get. We aren’t weakened by struggle; we overcome it and become stronger. </p>\n\n<p><strong>Vegetable (Karpas):</strong> The vegetables represent spring and regrowth, but we also dip them in saltwater to remind us of the tears of slavery. At the same time, we are meant to keep in mind the sorrow of pain and the joy regrowth brings, remembering all the while we can both struggle and love ourselves. At any given time, we are struggling, and we are growing. We may feel broken, but we are worthy. We acknowledge our past, accept ourselves for who we are and then face forward, working on ourselves to help us get to a better place.  </p>\n\n<p><strong>Bitter herbs, twice! (Maror and Hazeret): </strong>The bitter herbs we eat (sometimes begrudgingly!) remind us of the bitterness of slavery. We aren't meant to forget our struggles; rather, at Passover we bravely look them square in the face and acknowledge they are what have led us to this moment.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Haroset:</strong> This reddish or brownish mixture of apples, wine and cinnamon is meant to symbolize the clay used to make the bricks and mortar during slavery. Although it calls to mind hard work, it's sweet, representing the joy of freedom. In the Seder we mix the bitter herbs with haroset, a reminder that freedom, like resilience, is hard work. It's bitter and it's sweet, and, most important, it requires being an active participant in our own lives.</p>", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "https://thebluedovefoundation.org/mentalhealthpassoverseder/", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/344418/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-3.55.25-PM.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/344418/conversions/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-3.55.25-PM-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Karpas", "slug": "karpas" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 372, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Mental Health Interpretations of the Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by The Blue Dove Foundation", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It is traditional on this holiday to have a Seder (ritual meal) and to eat matzah, a special cracker-like flat bread, instead of chametz (a variety of foods that rise from leavening). During most Seders, we read from a book called the Haggadah that retells the events of the Exodus so we remember our escape from bondage. Jews around the world perform the mitzvah (commandment) of passing along this tradition, and this story of liberation, to members of the next generation so they can connect with their Jewish heritage.</p>\n\n<p>The Haggadah speaks of four types of children who react differently to the Passover Seder: the “wise” child, the “wicked” child, the “simple” child and the child who “doesn’t know how to ask.” From here it becomes our job to create an inclusive space where we can provide answers to questions raised by all of these children and help them engage in the Passover traditions. Each one is immersed in their own way, and we can learn something about mental wellness and how to create community from all of them.</p>\n\n<p>Reading about these four children, we get to learn more about ourselves and how we can build more holistic, inclusive and affirming Jewish communities.

In the Jewish prayer tradition, a core component of the three daily prayer services is called the  <em>Amida</em>, the standing prayer, which can serve as a meaningful model for a prayer stance. You stand with your feet planted on the ground and your legs together and pray for the collective well-being of their community.</li><li>Close your eyes and meditate on your anxieties and hopes, and breathe. Another core component of the Jewish prayer service is the  <em>Shema</em>, which we recite with our eyes closed, to create a space where we can concentrate and hear the words of our prayers.</li><li>Once you have reached a state of relative calm, recite whatever prayer you like – or a personal prayer of your own – in whatever language you are most comfortable with.</li><li>Sometimes there are no words that can truly capture the range of emotions we feel, and that is OK. In the Hasidic tradition, there is a concept of silent meditation and unstructured prayer called “Hitbodedut,” which was popularized by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. Practiced by many people daily, Hitbodedut is a silent prayer where one pours out their hearts and feelings to God in a private space. Regarding someone who is unable to find the right words, Rebbe Nachman suggested: <strong>“Even when one cannot speak at all, or says only a single word—it is also very good!” (Likutei Moharan, Part II 96:1)</strong></li></ol><p><br /></p><p>By The Blue Dove Foundation</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "https://thebluedovefoundation.org/resource/derech-ltefilla-a-path-to-prayer/", "featured": 1, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Bareich", "slug": "bareich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 2, "tags": [ { "tag": "Meditation", "slug": "meditation" }, { "tag": "Mental Health", "slug": "mental-health" }, { "tag": "Mindfulness", "slug": "mindfulness" }, { "tag": "Prayer", "slug": "prayer" } ], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Derech L’Tefilla – A Path to Prayer | Passover haggadah by The Blue Dove Foundation", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
