Answers for the LGBTQ+ Community and its Allies
Because on all other nights we are either Jewish or GLBTQA, but on this night we are both.
1) Because on all other nights we eat leavened bread – representative of the “airiness” and artificial nature of our lives – but on this night we eat matzah – representative of transparency and plain honesty.
2) Because on all other nights we enjoy a variety of tastes and vegetables, but on this night we focus on the maror – the bitterness of marginalization.
3) Because on all other nights we weep – dip once – for specific reasons and particular people, but on this night we weep – dip twice – for those who suffer and have suffered from physical and psychological oppression.
4) Because on all other nights we sit alert and rigid to an unsafe status- quo, but on this night we recline in safety as we hope to recline on all nights in the future.
