As a matter of fact, it is an obligation for every parent to educate their children about the story of leaving Egypt, including teaching the ten plagues. However, every year, towards the end of <i>Maggid</i>, after the plagues have been mentioned, we also say </span></span></span><span><span><span>דצ</span></span></span><i><span><span><span>\"</span></span></span></i><span><span><span>ך</span></span></span><i> </i><span><span><span>עד</span></span></span><i><span><span><span>\"</span></span></span></i><span><span><span>ש</span></span></span><i> </i><span><span><span>באח</span></span></span><i><span><span><span>\"</span></span></span></i><span><span><span>ב</span></span></span><span><span><span>, an acronym for the ten plagues. Why would it be necessary to vocalize this acronym right after the story of the ten plagues has just been told? Why would R’ Yehudah, a well known and tremendous Rabbi, contribute such a seemingly obvious and redundant acronym to the Haggadah?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>            The Ritvah wrote in the name of Rashi who asked this same question; why do we need this acronym? Rashi explains that without the acronym people may think “<i>ein mukdam umeuchar baTorah,</i>” that the Torah isn't written in chronological order. Rashi gives this answer because, in Tehillim Perek 105, David Hamelech recounts the ten plagues in a different order than the one found in the <i>Haggadah</i>. He shows that without the acronym, we may not have known which order of the plagues was correct chronologically. However, this is an unusual comment for Rashi because he is well-known for writing that the Torah is not a history book and it is not written in chronological order. So, why would he do this?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>            Before we get to answering that, the Rashbatz explains that <i>simanim</i>, or symbols, were commonly used by R’ Yehudah in the <i>Beit Midrash</i>. Just like any professor, R’ Yehudah had a teaching style, in this case acronyms, which he used in order to prevent his students from making errors and to highlight the importance of the order of things in the Torah. So, it seems that both Rashi and Rashbatz would agree that the reason for R’ Yehudah’s acronym is to enhance the <i>Mitzvah</i> and <i>Kiyum</i>, fulfillment, of retelling the story of leaving Egypt. According to Rashi, the chronological order of the plagues, which would usually be completely unimportant to him, seems to be important in this case because it is part of properly retelling the story of exodus. In addition, according to Rashbatz, using R’ Yehudah’s acronym is essential because it teaches the children the importance of remembering the order of the plagues. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>            Therefore, we see that R’ Yehudah’s acronym serves a very important purpose at the Seder. The theme of educating the children is a crucial part of the Seder and is essential to fulfilling one’s obligation. </span></span></span><span><span><span>דצ</span></span></span><i><span><span><span>\"</span></span></span></i><span><span><span>ך</span></span></span><i> </i><span><span><span>עד</span></span></span><i><span><span><span>\"</span></span></span></i><span><span><span>ש</span></span></span><i> </i><span><span><span>באח</span></span></span><i><span><span><span>\"</span></span></span></i><span><span><span>ב</span></span></span><span><span><span> enhances the retelling and allows the children to learn the plagues in the correct chronological order, not only teaching them about history, but also teaching them a lesson about the importance of learning Torah studies in a specific order for them to use in future educational situations.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Adina Passy", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "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": 292, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Adina's 10th grade essay | Passover haggadah by Passy Family", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

First...", "user_image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/users/116170/conversions/profile10156197509823972-thumb.jpg", "user_image_original": "https://assets.haggadot.com/users/116170/profile10156197509823972", "body": "<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Hallel on the Seder Night</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Adina Passy and Tiferet Nickerson</p>\n\n<p><br />\n </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Why is this hallel different than all other hallels? Firstly, we must determine from where do we get the חיוב to say Hallel. In פסחים קטז. The Mishna quotes from the Hagaddah and it says, “לפיכך אנחנו חייבים להודות להלל” therefore implying that we must praise hashem for taking us out of Egypt.  Then two amudim later, the gemara explains that the hallel that we say is to be said when we are expressing our gratitude for redemption, which is the case with yetziat Mitzrayim. The gemara is responding to the fact that the hagadah tells us that every person must see themselves as if they left Egypt, therefore we must praise G-d for redeeming us.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Now that we know where the חיוב comes from we can try to understand the many differences between hallel at the seder and every other recitation.  First, it is the only time that women are obligated to say hallel. The gemara clearly states that“חייב אדם לראות את עצמו”, this implies that everyone including women are obligated. Furthermore, Tosfot on Sukkah 38A explains that because women were also involved in the miracle they are obligated in the four cups and hallel.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The second difference is that Hallel at the seder is the only time it is said without a preceeding brachat hamitzva. In the Shulchan Aruch 487:4, Rav Yosef Karo explains that Sephardim read hallel in shul on that night so they can say it with a bracha, but the Rema explains that Ashkenazim do not hold like this. The Tur quotes the opinion of the Ritzvah who holds that you make a bracha before on the first part of hallel in maggid and then make a second bracha before the rest of Hallel. The Tur then quotes the Ritz who agrees with the Gra who say that you do not make a bracha at all because hallel is split up. The Gra adds that the reason Hallel was said in shul was because in those times people did not know how to daven so they fulfilled their obligation by responding the the chazzan. Another reason why we do not make a bracha as stated by the Ran in Pesachim chapter 10, is that although there is a mitzvah Seder night to praise G-d<em>, </em>this praise could be spontaneous and unstructured, and therefore do not require the words of the structured Hallel that we have. Since no specific song or praise is required, <em>Chazal</em> did not require a bracha before singing Hallel<em>. </em>The Rambam and the Chinuch say the reason that we don’t say a bracha before hallel at the seder is because the hallel is a facet of the mitzvah. This is because by retelling the story,  praise and thanks are given, and we do not say a bracha on hakarat ha tov.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">A third difference is that this is the only time that we say hallel at night. The mishna and Gemara in Megilla explain that we can say Hallel all <strong>Day</strong> as learned from two different psukim in hallel, ממזרח שמש עד מבואו תהלים קיג, ג או זה היום עשה ה’ תהלים קיח, כד so why can we say it at night? Chazal say the reason we say hallel at night in this case is because the miracle happened at night. This is based on a previous statement of tosafot that the hallel on pesach is miracle based. According to Rashi the reason that we can say it at night is because we are singing with the Korban Pesach  </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The fourth difference is that this is the only time where we say hallel sitting down. Why is that? First we know from the Aruch Hashulchan that Hallel is usually said standing, but the question still stands, why is this night different from all other times? The Mishna Berura explains that while usually we say hallel standing because it is a testimony, and testimony is said standing, on Pesach night because we split up hallel, we say it sitting. Additionally, the Shibollei Haleket explains that we say it sitting to show that we are free people.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Building off the Mishna Berura the question arises, why do we split up hallel? According to the Sefer Abudraham, the reason we split it up is to glorify the second cup with hallel. And according to Chazal we split it according to the fact that up until maggid we tell the story of yetziat mitzrayim and we make the bracha of asher gaalnu, so we say the parts of hallel that have to do with past redemption, and during hallel in the seder we say the parts of hallel that have to do with future redemptions. In the gemara on קטז: there is a machloket on where to split the hallel but ultimately we paskin that we say hallel until Betzayit Yisrael Mimitzrayim.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">All in all, it seems to now make sense why this hallel is different than all other hallels.</p>\n\n\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Hallel", "slug": "hallel" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 280, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Adina and Tefiret Hallel | Passover haggadah by Passy Family", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Although Rivkah came from a severely dysfunctional family, she was able to heal her childhood wounds by attaching herself to holiness. Even at a tender young age, she was not afraid to detach herself from her family, and familiar environment, in order to follow a strange man to an un-known place. When we drink the Second Cup, it is good to meditate and pray for removing all our attachments and addictions. This cup also has the ability to free us from the confinement of performing the mitzvot only out of rote because we are expected to, without conviction and excitement. Rivkah was totally in touch with her soul, and all her actions were permeated with her spirit of enthusiasm. The Second Cup corresponds to the reading of the Hagadah. Just as the Hagadah begins with disgrace but concludes with praise (Babylonian Talmud, Passoverim 116a), so did Rivkah emanate from the thorns of her cradle, yet became an everlasting rose (Vayikra Rabah 23:1).

He answers these questions very simply, but he gives a lot of background info. Rabbi Sytner says that Rabbi Yehudah was a pragmatic thinker, and he thought about the average Jew at the time, they probably didn't have a haggadah, and rather than making them struggle to remember the 10 plagues, he created a simple mnemonic. The present tense נותן refers to the fact that he was here and now working with people. And בהם does not refer to the plagues it refers to the jewish people, saying that he (G-d) gave to them (the despondent generation) to say that we have been oppressed before and hashem has saved us, he will do it again, and that is the meaning of the acronym, it is a symbol of hope and simplicity. </p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "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": 238, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "A Fresh Look at the Abbreviations of the Plagues | Passover haggadah by Passy Family", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

One is at<br />\nthe opening of the Magid portion of the seder, when we say, “All who are hungry come and eat.”<br />\nThere is a beautiful message here: we were once slaves; poor and hungry, and we remember our<br />\nredemption by sharing what we have with others.</p>\n\n<p>The other, comes towards the end of the seder, when we open the door for Elijah the Prophet. This<br />\nis a statement of faith, a statement that says that although we are a free people, our redemption<br />\nis not yet complete, and we believe that it will come.</p>\n\n<p>From the most downtrodden to the most celebrated, the message is clear: everyone is welcome,<br />\nand everyone is necessary. Why is it that we go out of our way to include all at our seder table?<br />\nPerhaps it is because when we make room for others, we have the opportunity to make room for<br />\nourselves as well. In fact, the Mishnah (Pesahim 10:5) teaches us that:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://elmad.pardes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/haggadah-SS.jpg\"><img src=\"https://elmad.pardes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/haggadah-SS.jpg\" alt=\"haggadah-SS.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The seder presents us with the obligation of identifying with the generation that left Egypt and<br />\ninternalizing that experience. And through that internalization, we come to feel the redemption<br />\nas if it was our own as well.</p>\n\n<p>Further, the reliving of the story of the Exodus affords us the opportunity לראות את עצמו – to<br />\nsee one’s true self. It is only when we are able to see ourselves clearly, that we are able to be<br />\nredeemed.

Yet through the centuries, the way we encounter these three things have changed.</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Today we dredge through Maggid, often rushing through it to get to the main meal, but during the times of the mishnah and gemara most of this storytelling would have happened as the Paschal lamb was being prepared. Each family would sacrifice and roast an offering then gather around and tell the story of Passover as they prepared their barbeque sandwich. Fathers and sons would spend the day taking their offering to the temple, watching as the kohen prepared it for slaughter and roasting, and then bringing it home to be eaten that night. All the while, they would discuss different aspects of the very physical, very involved process of preparing the Paschal sacrifice. At the same time, mothers and daughters would be preparing the home, making matzah and cooking other necessary passover dishes. Conversation would revolve around the details of passover practices here as well, since most work was done directly. These conversations would serve double duty, teaching methodology and passing along the storied origins of the holiday at the same time.</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>When the seder started, everything would focus on the Paschal Lamb, positioned in the middle of the table. The retelling of the Passover story would happen fairly quickly. In these seders, the culmination of the night was the Great BBQ Sandwich, which took place after Maggid. The Offering and the Matzah, both products of a very hands on process, paired together and slightly tainted by something bitter, would possess symbolism everyone could appreciate. The work that represents freedom (the Paschal Lamb), together with the poor man’s bread (matzah), tainted with bitterness to temper the mood. The experience would have been powerful. </b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>However today we do it differently. Today we break it all up into individual steps (matzah, maror, and then the sandwich), and instead of a powerful experience it’s often glossed. Why is this night different than those nights?</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Pesachim 115a addresses this divergence from the past. First it sets out the problem, raised by the jewish Baron de Sandwich himself (Hillel) that “A person should not wrap matza and bitter herbs together and eat them.” The reason being that, in the absence of the Temple, matzah is still biblical, but maror is rabbinic, and you can’t mix and match your rabinics and biblicals. The argument goes back and forth over whether matzah and maror should be eaten together or separately.  The gemara even cites Hillel, in contradiction of Hillel (yes the same guy) saying “Hillel...would wrap matza and bitter herbs together and eat them”. Finally the gemara states “Now that the halakha was stated neither in accordance with the opinion of Hillel nor in accordance with the opinion of the Rabbis” instead we eat the matzah and maror separately, and only after we have had them individually do we make a sandwich in commemoration of the Sandwich from Temple times. </b></p>\n\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Avi Passy", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Koreich", "slug": "koreich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 293, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "From BBQ to Boring: The Story of the Hillel Sandwich Final | Passover haggadah by Passy Family", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It is also a struggle between faith and doubt. Am I willing to leave everything I’ve known for the total unknown? Abandoning a known way of life for something unknown? Many Jews in Egypt remained, and only a minority followed Moshe into the desert. Connected to this tension between faith and doubt is a third struggle between a material dimension of existence and a spiritual one. And finally, Pesach is a struggle between the individual and the collective. The story of the Exodus is a story that connects Jews in a very particular way to each other because it is a story of trust, of commitment, and of a shared experience of persecution and liberation. These are struggles that Jews encounter every day in the modern world, struggles we first encountered as a people during the Exodus. Reading the Haggadah not only reminds us that these struggles are not new, but it also offers us a script to overcome these challenges and to grow spiritually, socially and intellectually as an individual, as a community, and as a people. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n\n\n\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Ken and Gisela Loiselle</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": null, "featured": 1, "featuredIn": { "title": "2019 Favorites", "slug": "2019-favorites", "author": "Haggadot" }, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Yachatz", "slug": "yachatz" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 452, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The meaning of Passover | Passover haggadah by Passy Family", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Not every household includes Miriam's Cup at the Seder table, but when it is used the cup is filled with water and placed next to Elijah’s cup.</p>\n\n<p>Miriam was the sister of Moses and a prophetess in her own right. When the Israelites are freed from bondage in Egypt, Miriam leads the women in dance after they have crossed the sea and escaped their pursuers. The Bible even records a line of the poem she chants while the women dance: “Sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously. Horse and driver has he hurled into the sea” (Exodus 15:21). (See: <a href=\"https://www.thoughtco.com/passover-pesach-story-2076449\">The Passover Story</a>.)</p>\n\n<p>Later when the Israelites are wandering through the desert, legend says that a well of water followed <a href=\"https://www.thoughtco.com/who-was-miriam-in-the-bible-2076465\">Miriam</a>. “Water…did not abandon them in all their forty years’ wandering, but accompanied them on all their marches,” writes Louis Ginzberg in  <em>The Legends of the Jews</em>. “God wrought this great miracle for the merits of the prophetess Miriam, wherefore also it was called ‘Miriam’s Well.’”</p>\n\n<p>The tradition of Miriam’s cup stems from the legendary well that followed her and the Israelites in the desert and also the way in which she spiritually supported her people. The cup is meant to honor Miriam’s story and the spirit of all women, who nurture their families just as Miriam helped sustain the Israelites. The Bible tells us she died and was buried in Kadesh. Upon her death, there was no water for the Israelites until Moses and Aaron prostrated themselves before God.</p>\n\n<p>The way Miriam’s cup is used varies from family to family. Sometimes, after the second cup of wine is consumed, the seder leader will ask everyone at the table to pour some of the water from their glasses into Miriam’s Cup.  </p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "https://www.thoughtco.com/elijahs-cup-and-miriams-cup-2076419", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 296, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Miriam's Cup | Passover haggadah by Passy Family", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
