It is different than “ <em>V'higadta l'vincha”</em> (And you should tell your son) when it instructs you to tell the son who cannot ask about the Exodus story. I think that there is a lesson that the Rabbis are trying to teach us. Yes, you can sit in the four walls of a classroom and read everything that has ever been written on a topic. Yes, you can sit down with scholars and discuss for hours your thoughts with each other and learn from one another. But if you really want to learn, if you really want to see what is happening in the world, you must “go out and learn.” You must get up and go out and experience life yourself, see it with your eyes, feel it so that it becomes instilled deep within your bones.</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150450/go%20out%20and%20learn.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150450/conversions/go%20out%20and%20learn-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 312, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Tze Ulmad – Go out and learn By Natalie Gerber | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It is not just something that happened to others in ancient times, but a personal exodus as well. To that end, the Rabbis chose the text from Deuteronomy since it is written in the first person. “ <em>MY</em> father was a wondering Aramean.” Had they simply used the verses from the Book of Exodus it would be a story about one specific generation that left the slavery of Egypt, not a personal experience that every Jew must feel throughout the generations.</p>\n\n<p>This year, I heard an additional explanation that really resonated with me. If we think about who Moses is speaking in Deuteronomy, we will realize that Moses is speaking to the generation of the desert. The generation that left Egypt has already passed away during the 40 years of wondering, and Moses is now speaking to the Jewish people who were actually born in the desert. They didn’t personally go through the Exodus, but they heard from their parents and grandparents what that experience was like. Moses is saying to this next generation – You are the ones who need to keep this story alive. Ours is not just a history book with facts and numbers that get recorded. Our Egypt story is about how it is remembered and then retold again. If we in the 21st century are to feel that we too have just left Egypt during our Seder, then what better way to tell the story than through the way that future generations told the story and made it their own. Jewish history is a living history that we hold on to, consciously remember and keep in our active thoughts and speech.</p>\n\n<p>As I am writing this piece, just after Yom Hashoah, this takes on additional meaning for me. With each year that passes, we have fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors alive to tell their stories. We cannot let the story of our people’s sufferings turn into a history book of facts and figures. We are that generation of the desert, the generation that did not go through the Holocaust but heard the stories from our parents and grandparents. It is incumbent on us to take the torch and keep the stories alive. Like the Jewish farmer who declared these verses from Deuteronomy in the first person as if he himself left Egypt, we too must take on the stories of the Holocaust and know that they are our stories so that they will never be forgotten.</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/15726/in-every-generation.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/15726/conversions/in-every-generation-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 300, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Arami Oved Avi – Personal memory not just a history lesson By Natalie Gerber | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Most of the proof-texts that the Rabbis used to better understand these verses in Deuteronomy and expound upon the Exodus story come from the Book of Exodus itself. However, at the end of the last verse, when it comes to the word “ <em>u’vimoftim</em> ” (and with wonders) the Book of Joel is used as its proof text. Let’s quickly look at the last verse from Deuteronomy in its entirety. The verse says “The Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and outstretched arm, with great awe, miraculous signs and with wonders ( <em>u’vimoftim)</em>. ” The verse in Deuteronomy 26:8 is clearly referring to the miraculous way that God took the Jewish people out of Israel. If you look at the proof-texts that the Rabbis used to further explain what is meant by God taking the Jewish people out with a mighty hand, etc. they draw from the Book of Exodus. And yet, for the last word “ <em>u’vimoftim</em> ” (and with wonders) they turn to the Book of Joel. In the quoted text, Joel is describing the end of the days just before the Messiah will arrive. “Before the great and terrible day of the Lords comes, I will set <strong>wonders</strong> in the sky and on the earth…blood, fire and pillars of smoke.” (Joel 3:3).</p>\n\n<p>At my father’s seder table he always speaks about how the Haggadah and the seder night is a blueprint for what we need to do to bring the next redemption, the next Exodus from Egypt. He always tells the children that for generations we have been reading the Haggadah and trying to understand its every word so that we can try and figure out what we need to do to experience the same redemption that the Jews of Egypt did. The Rabbis quoting from Joel as he speaks about a future redemption seems to be yet another place in the Haggadah where the Rabbis are saying to us – “Pay attention!” This is not just about the story in Egypt. We aren’t just quoting from the Book of Exodus about the specific exodus story that happened then. We are looking toward the future as well. The Haggadah that we use today was compiled after the Second Temple was destroyed and the focus of Pesach was not around the Pascal offering in the Temple, but rather, it was to be used in personal homes as a guide for the night. The Rabbis were making a distinctly important statement in the texts they chose to include. Yes, we may not have the Temple right now, and it may be easy to become despondent thinking that the Exodus happened a long time ago. But do not lose faith. This is as much our own personal story. If we can figure out the “secret sauce” then we too will be able to experience the wonders of God and see redemption in our lifetime. One need to just think about the Redemption with a capital R that Joel is speaking about. Each of us in our lifetime may have our own Egypt moments, our own moments when we seem trapped in our own suffering. It is in those moments when we each have to make a choice: will we lose hope or will we continue to plow forward and do everything in our control to get to the point of redemption.

To remind us of the dough that didn’t have time to rise as our forefathers were rushed out of Egypt.</li>\n\t<li>Name the Four Sons? The wise, the wicked, the simple, and the one who doesn’t know how to ask.</li>\n\t<li>How many cups of wine do we drink at the Seder? Four.</li>\n\t<li>What things connected with Seder night are associated with the number four? Four sons, four cups of wine, four questions.</li>\n\t<li>Why four cups of wine? To celebrate our freedom.</li>\n\t<li>What is the second plague? Frogs.</li>\n\t<li>Why do we dip in the Charoset? The Charoset represents the cement that the Jews used to cement the bricks together in their slavery. Today we dip as a sign of freedom.</li>\n\t<li>What does the shank bone remind us of? The Passover lamb which our forefathers sacrificed to God when they came out of Egypt.</li>\n\t<li>Can you say all ten plagues in order? Blood, frogs, vermin, wild beasts, pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, plague of the firstborn.</li>\n\t<li>Can you say the ten plagues backwards? Plague of the firstborn, darkness, locusts, hail, boils, pestilence, wild beasts, vermin, frogs, blood.</li>\n\t<li>Who am I? I am the last thing you eat before you bensch, say the blessing after the meal. There are often lots of fights over who hides me and who finds me. Who am I? The Afikoman.</li>\n\t<li>Who am I? I am one of the key figures in the story of the going out of Egypt. I lost my whole army and half my country in my stubbornness. Who am I? Pharoah.</li>\n\t<li>Who am I? I am one of the plagues. I made the Egyptians itch like crazy all over. Who am I? Lice.</li>\n\t<li>Who am I? My name does not appear once in the Haggadah, but I went several times to Pharoah with my brother to try and persuade him to let the Jewish people go. Who am I? Moses.</li>\n\t<li>Who do we fill a cup for on the Seder table and hope he comes and joins our Seder? Elijah.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>After the Mah Nishtana, you ask one of the kids to blindfold one of the guests or another family member.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

But rather, 'I know I have a ways to go, but look how far I've come.'...Every single step we take from confinement and from constriction and from narrowness and from our <em>Mitzrayim </em> is an accomplishment, and it is something that we can and we must pause and offer thanks and gratitude.\"</p>\n\n<p>In this section, we offer the traditional <em>Dayenu </em> song lyrics, as well as a few other traditions and interpretations to consider.</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150462/first%20haggadah_0.jpeg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150462/conversions/first%20haggadah_0-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 164, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Thoughts on Dayenu by Abby Fifer Mandell | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "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 great opportunity to teach and engage children, and like many seder traditions, it is laden with spiritual and practical meanings.</p>\n\n<p><strong>WHAT IS THE AFIKOMEN?</strong></p>\n\n<p>At the seder table, three matzahs are placed in a stack. Near the beginning of the seder, the middle matzah is broken in two pieces, and the larger piece of this matzah is called the <em>afikomen.</em> </p>\n\n<p><strong>WRAPPING THE AFIKOMEN</strong></p>\n\n<p>Why do we wrap the afikomen? One explanation is we wrap the <em>afikomen</em> to re-enact the way that the Sons of Israel carried the dough out of Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, some have a tradition of throwing the afikomen over their shoulder to symbolize schlepping it out of Egypt. Watch out for crumbs!</p>\n\n<p><strong>HIDING THE AFIKOMEN</strong></p>\n\n<p>So why hide the afikomen? A spiritual answer is that hiding the afikomen symbolizes that the Exodus was only the beginning of the process of redemption, part of it is still hidden.</p>\n\n<p>A more practical answer is that many of the customs are geared towards keeping the children awake for the re-telling of the story of our Exodus, which is the primary Mitzvah (commandment) of the evening. Consequently, the custom has developed that after being “hidden” the children leave the table and attempt to find it, energizing them.</p>\n\n<p>For adults that tend to fall asleep at the table, some families have the kids hide the afikomen and an adult attempt to find it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>ITS ABOUT GETTING THE KIDS EXCITED</strong></p>\n\n<p>Anticipation about finding the afikomen is a great way to engage children in the days leading up to Passover.</p>\n\n<p>Here are a few fun pre-Pesach project links:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://www.kveller.com/traditions/Holidays/Afikomen-bag-craft.shtml\">Afikomen Bag Craft</a> via kveller.com</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://biblebeltbalabusta.com/2015/03/12/afikomen-bag-quick-diy/\">Afikomen Bag in 30 Minutes</a> via Bible Belt Balabusta</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://toriavey.com/home-garden/2012/04/family-fun-afikoman-bag/\">Afikoman Bag for Passover</a> via Tori Avey</p>\n\n<p>Here are some book links:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://pjlibrary.org/books/hoppy-passover-glaser/81\"> <em>Hoppy Passover</em> </a> by Linda Glaser</p>\n\n<p> <em><a href=\"http://www.pjlibrary.org/books/companys-coming-holub/15\">Company's Coming</a> </em> by Joan Holub</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://pjlibrary.org/books/kippi-and-the-missing-matzah-gikow/26\"> <em>Kippi and the Missing Matzah</em> </a> by Louise Gikow.</p>\n\n<p>And here is a link from great games and projects for seder night to keep the kids engaged:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://jgateways.org/Resources/Passover\">https://jgateways.org/Resources/Passover</a></p>\n\n<p>On seder night, to break the ice and get the kids geared up, our family has a tradition right before the haggadah reading to dress up in costumes and re-enact the Exodus story.

Perhaps it is because my husband is one of four boys, or that I have three sons of my own and wondered whether any of them would match up with the four in the story. There is a message in the story that is very relevant to us today and it is the one I not only think about, but it has also shaped my life and the way I choose to raise our boys. There are many ways to read the story of the four sons but I see the four sons as representative of various degrees of assimilation.</p>\n\n<p>CHACHAM: The Wise son is the Jew who values Jewish tradition and engages in learning, ritual and celebration. He seeks out a Jewish community and actively participates in Jewish religious and cultural life.</p>\n\n<p>RASHA: The Wicked son represents the Jew who rebels against his heritage, challenges and even mocks his teachers and fellow Jews as he struggles to find meaning in it for himself.</p>\n\n<p>TAM: The Simple Son is sweet, kind and goes through them motions without too much thought. He doesn't find personal meaning or depth in his heritage, but this isn't a source of distressing for him. He is uninterested in Jewish learning but he usually attends synagogue on the high holidays has a group of Jewish friends to spin the dreidel with on Hannukah.</p>\n\n<p>BEN SHE’EINO YODEA LISHOL: The son who doesn't even know how to ask a question represents the Jew who wasn't raised with any meaningful jewish education. He finds the talk of religion and God foreign and the synagogue boring and uncomfortable. He is not at home in his Jewish identity. He grandfather swapped his kippah for a baseball cap many years ago and now this Jew is at home in all things American but not in Shul. While he doesn't actively participate at the Seder table, at least he shows up. In fact, regardless of the degree of Jewish connection and knowledge for any of the Four sons, they are all present at the Seder table. There is still an opportunity for questions, learning, growth and interest.</p>\n\n<p>The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, taught that today there is a fifth son, the one who is not even present at the Seder; completely unaware of his great and proud heritage.</p>\n\n<p>Rabbi Ed Feinstein teaches that our freedom today means that we are all Jews by choice. Every day we make a choice to actively engage or identify Jewishly or not. What can we all teach our sons and our daughters so that they want to not only show up at the Seder table, but they want to prepare, read, sing and even lead? The journey of parenting the Jewish future is also a choice, but the rewards will not just be having our sons and daughters at the seder table, but G-d willing our grandchildren and great grandchildren as well.</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Art: Proud Mama by Jordan Resin", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/15757/IMG_0611.jpeg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/15757/conversions/IMG_0611-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 196, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Four Sons by Talia Resin | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Sam's father was the Chazen and Jeremy's family helped build the shul. It was home for both of us. Our parents were friends for many years and decided to have Seder together long before we were ever dating. We had some incredible traditions at our Sedar table including drinking all 4 cups of wine and then singing \"Go Down Moses\". When Jeremy and I finally did start dating and get married, Passover remained a meaningful holiday to us. We even named our first born child \"Yizchak Pesach\" meaning he laughs at Pesach as that's how we remembered our Sedarim - with lots of laughter.</p>\n\n<p>Our baby girl Aria Meital (named for Tal, dew we pray for during Passover), was born this past Pesach (2017) and we commemorated her coming home with 4 large Matzah Pizzas that spelled her name!</p>\n\n<p>Another important part of our Seder meals was the freshly grated Horseradish. Ours was not your typical Chrain (yiddush for horseradish) ours was special. Bubby and Grampsy would drive down to the lower east side every year to \"The Pickle Boys\" because that is where they freshly grate the bitter root.   We've moved to California and our Seders have moved with us but our meals are not complete without \"the good stuff\" as we call our special chrain.  Bubby and Grampsy fly to NY every year before Pesach, they drive down to the lower east side, buy jars of the freshly grated horseradish and carry it back to Los Angeles in their suitcases.  Throughout the holiday we spoon the \"good stuff\"  into a freshly made red horseradish to ensure its strong, stinging bite!

Before your guests arrive - give them each a section of the Hagaddah to discuss, they must come to your Sedar with a poster, a song, a dance or a skit about that section. This can be easy for them but definitely a highlight for all of the guests.</p>\n\n<p>2. Play the famous game of headbands with Sedar objects and ideas: Use the traditional plastic headband straps from the board game but make your own clues. Draw pictures of Matzah, Slaves, Pyramids, Charoseth, Bricks, Eggs, Pharaoh, you get the point. They have somewhere choose a card (they do not see) and wear it facing out. Other guests have to give them clues until the guess what they are wearing. You can get funny - use Prune juice for constipation etc.</p>\n\n<p>3. Act out the movie \"The Ten Commandments\" this project takes a little planning ahead but it's awesome. Go through and print some key scenes of dialogue from the original Cecil B. Demille \"The Ten Commandments\" movie by Paramount. Email us if you can't find copies! Give people parts to play and when things start to get a little dry at the Seder, act out a scene. It definitely livens things up!</p>\n\n<p>4. If you have a table of people who don't all know each other well, ask each person for an interesting fact about themselves. Then place that fact under someone else's plate. As the Seder goes on, have people go around and read the fact and try to figure out the person. It gets alternative conversation flowing.</p>\n\n<p>5. Along the same lines as #4 ask each person to bring a skill they'd like to demonstrate. If you invite a person who loves to work-out ask them to show two favorite exercises to the table - but everyone must participate. This gets people up and moving.</p>\n\n<p>At the end of the Haggadah we have added some other fun activity ideas that you can consider adding to your Seder.</p>", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150470/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-18%20at%208.34.35%20AM_0.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150470/conversions/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-18%20at%208.34.35%20AM_0-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Songs", "slug": "songs" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 303, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "When bored and in doubt - Act It Out!!!

Of course, no one would compare eating spicy or hot food with slavery, yet it helps create the conversation and the experience of discussing hard or difficult life situations. The ritual helps us engage in the deeper conversation of mindful living in community.\" Rabbi Becker-Klein, </p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to use for bitter herbs can be confusing:</p>\n\n<p>Some Seder plates have a place for both  <em>maror</em>  (bitter herbs) and  <em>chazeret</em>  (a word that probably means “greens”). Some only have a space for  <em>maror</em> . The Mishnah is no help. It omits the word  <em>maror</em>  and says  <em>chazeret</em>  twice (m. Pesahim 10:3).</p>\n\n<p>It is actually possible to use lettuce for all three ( <em>karpas, maror, and chazeret</em> ).</p>\n\n<p>Maybe it will help to separate out all four of the rituals and the possible vegetables:</p>\n\n<p>(1)  <em>Karpas</em>  is dipped in salt water. Could be parsley or lettuce (or other greens).</p>\n\n<p>(2)  <em>Maror</em>  is dipped in  <em>charoset</em>  (the apple mixture). Could be slices of horseradish or lettuce or other greens. Can’t exactly do this with prepared horseradish unless you use a piece of matzah to hold the horseradish (that is what I have done in the past, but see below).</p>\n\n<p>(3) The  <em>chazeret</em>  just kind sits there (if your Seder plate has a place for it). I usually say something about it (“the root of life is bitter . . . without redemption”). You could use a horseradish root, a piece of lettuce, or an onion (I use an onion or a green onion).</p>\n\n<p>(4) The Hillel sandwich ( <em>korech</em> ) is matzah with some  <em>maror</em>  and  <em>charoset</em>  (it used to have lamb on it). If you use slices of horseradish root for the  <em>maror</em> , this part is weird. How do you put “half an egg’s volume” of sliced root on a matzah and eat it? You’d have to be a termite! David Arnow says there is a debate about whether you should use prepared horseradish or slices of the root. The Hillel sandwich only makes sense, it seems to me, with prepared horseradish.</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": "Maror", "slug": "maror" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 180, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "More about Maror | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Ever since I can remember, that’s how she was lovingly addressed by our entire family, even though (in my case) we were 71 years apart. In reality, Frances was married to my grandfather’s cousin Ben, and so by extension, she became our cousin as well (family tree rules aside). My parents moved to LA from NY in the late 60s, leaving their parents, siblings and extended family back on the east coast, with no friends or relatives in California. Other than Ben and Frances Lepkowsky. Ben and Frances emigrated to the US from Poland in 1928, and ran a cleaning store as well several rooming houses in MacArthur Park (near Langer’s Deli). As soon as my parents arrived in Los Angeles and I (and later my brother Jeff) was born, we were taken in by Frances and Ben. While Ben was our actual relative and a wonderful man, Frances clearly wore the pants in the relationship (literally- I don’t think I ever saw her in a dress). And she probably made those pants, as she made all of her own clothes. And crotcheted more ponchos and hats for me than I can remember. And was my first babysitter. And spoke five languages (Polish, Russian, Hebrew, Yiddish and English). And ran the family businesses with Ben. And managed to take the bus or walk everywhere she needed in LA (having never learned to drive). She was an absolute dynamo.</p>\n\n<p>As one would imagine based on the above, Frances’ Passover seders were a sight to behold and a special experience. Once a year, I got to see all of my other “cousins” (Ben and Frances’ children and grandchildren), all while enjoying Frances’ amazing food (she made everything of course) while Ben (in his strong Polish accent) conducted the seder. Oh how I looked forward to Passover every spring. And just as Ben and Frances had adopted us, so as they did with numerous tenants in their boarding rooms, many of whom joined us for our seder over the years. Their small apartment was busting at the seams, but that just added to the energy.</p>\n\n<p>Frances outlived Ben (not surprisingly) for many years, and finally passed away at the age of 104. While I’ve attended many other seders since then, no one's could ever come close to theirs. I will always miss “cousins” Frances and Ben and their warm, loving spirit, which always made you feel welcome and embraced as soon as you walked into their home. And isn't that what celebrating Passover is all about- making sure that everyone has a home, a place (minus the 40 years in the desert to get there).</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Brette Simon", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/15799/Scan0001.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/15799/conversions/Scan0001-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 292, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "\"Cousin\" Frances By Brette Simon | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Shelo echad bilvad, amad aleinu l'chaloteinu. Ela sheb'chol dor vador, om'dim aleinu l'chaloteinu, v'hakadosh Baruch hu matzileinu mi-yadam.</em> </p>\n\n<p>This covenant that remained constant for our ancestors and for us has saved us against any who arose to destroy us in every generation, and throughout history when any stood against us to annihilate us, the Kadosh Barukh Hu kept saving us from them.</p>\n\n<p>And later in the Haggadah it says:</p>\n\n<p> <em>Vayotzieinu Adonai mimitzrayim – lo al ydei malach, v’lo al y’dei saraf, v’lo al y’dei shaliach, ela hakadosh baruch hu bichvodo uv’atzmo, shene’emar: v’avarti v’eretz mitzrayim balaylah hazeh, v’hikeiti kol b’chor b’eretz mitzrayim meiadam v’ad b’heimah, uv’chol elohei mitzrayim e’eseh shifatim. Ani Adonai.</em> </p>\n\n<p>The Lord brought us out of Egypt – not by an angel, not by a seraph, not by a messenger, but by the holy one, blessed be He, Himself, as it is written: “I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night; I will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt from man unto beast; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments; I am the Lord.”</p>\n\n<p>And then Rabbi Berkowitz said something that I had never heard before.  He said that during the time First Aliyah (1882-1903), when early Zionist Pioneers immigrated to what is now Israel, those Pioneers wrote their own Haggadah that made Moses the central figure of the story.  They were making a statement that we do not need to wait around for God to come and bring the redemption, but that we can be like Moses and become God’s emissary here on earth and made the redemption come through our own actions in pursuing His will.  I was really taken with what Rabbi Berkowitz was saying and wished that one day I could see one of these Haggadot. </p>\n\n<p>It was just a few months later that I was looking through the library of my great grandfather.  In amongst his books I found an early publications of Theodor Herlz’s <em>The Jewish State</em> and lo and behold there was one of those early Pioneer Haggadot.  I found it fascinating to look through fragile, yellowed pages. </p>\n\n<p>The cover page said right there at the bottom that it was written by the people of the kibbutzim.  The images were of the kibbutzim and the pioneers that were building the country. </p>\n\n<p>The Mah Nishtanah was different.  Instead of the verse about dipping two times, they have a verse that says: “On all other nights we talk about everyday matters but tonight we talk about the oppression of our people and our redemption.”</p>\n\n<p>Rather than use the verses from the Book of Deuteronomy about “Our Father the Aramean….,” they used the verses from Exodus itself.  The story of Moses hitting the Egyptian and the Israelite who was hurting the other Israelite.  How Moses was tending to the sheep when he encounters God in the burning bush and becomes God’s emissary back in Egypt.  Tells the story of the splitting of the Red Sea and Moses rising and singing a song of praise to God and Miriam gathering the woman in dancing.  And finally at the end of the Haggadah where even in the Traditional text we say,</p>\n\n<p> <em>Chasal sidur pesach k'hilchato, k'chol mishpato v'chukato. Ka-asher zachinu l'sadeir oto, kein nizkeh la-asoto. Zach shochein m'onah, komeim k'hal adat mi manah. B'karov naheil nitei chanah, p'duyim l'tzion b'rinah.</em> </p>\n\n<p>The Passover Seder is concluded, according to each traditional detail with all its laws and customs. As we have been privileged to celebrate this Seder, so may we one day celebrate it in Jerusalem. Pure One who dwells in the high places, support your People countless in number. May you soon redeem all your People joyfully in Zion.</p>\n\n<p>And conclude the Seder with singing, “ <em>L'shana Haba'ah b'Y’rushalayim” -- </em> Next Year in Jerusalem!</p>\n\n<p>The Pioneer’s Haggadah ends just the same way.  And at the end is a drawing of what we think of as the early pioneers dancing arm in arm.  The authors of the Haggadah truly felt that if they poured over the text of the Haggadah, if they discussed and tried to figure out the “secret sauce” of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt, then they would be able to figure out how to bring about the final redemption that they were working so hard to achieve.  That they would be able to see the establishment of the State of Israel in their day.</p>\n\n<p>While I have grown up using the Traditional Haggadah, this same discussion permeates each and every Seder that I remember my grandfather leading and that my father still leads to this very day.  At the beginning of each Seder my father says, “What happened to our forefathers is a symbol of what will happen to us.  And the goal of the Seder night is to try and figure out what each and every one of us needs to do to bring the ultimate redemption.  We know that the process can take a long time, and we may not actually be able to see the redemption in our day.  And so we focus on engaging and teaching our children so that if we don’t see the redemption that we have started to plant the seeds that our children can continue to carry on.”  And like I mention later in this Haggadah at the cup of Elijah, we have the tradition of having everyone add some of their wine to the cup with the idea that, just like the early pioneers realized that they would need take an active role in bringing about the establishment of the State of Israel, that today we must each take an active role as well.  And then we end every Seder by singing Hatikvah and realizing that this is the ultimate goal that we are all working toward.</p>\n\n<p>Whatever text you use at your Seder, ask yourself – what is the goal of the Seder?  What am I trying to impart to the next generation?  What are we working to achieve in this world?</p>\n\n\n\n<p> <em>Additional pages from the Pioneer Haggadah can be found at the back of the Wexner Haggadah</em> </p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/112368/cover_59.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/112368/conversions/cover_59-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 274, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Early Zionist Haggadah – The Role of Moses in the Haggadah By Natalie Gerber | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It is customary to place ten pieces of bread throughout the house to be “found” during the search.

Even once a house is thoroughly cleaned, there is often still a bagel crust or a Cheerio hiding in some overlooked cranny.</p>\n\n<p>When you’re done, take all the chametz that was found in the search, wrap and seal it securely, and place it in a conspicuous spot. This chametz will be joined with all remaining chametz in your home, and burned the next morning. (Food intended to be sold or eaten later should similarly be carefully put aside.)</p>\n\n<p>When you’ve completed the search recite the \"Kol Chamira\" declaration, nullifying all unknown chametz and relinquishing it from your ownership.</p>\n\n<p>כָּל־חֲמִירָא חֲמִירָא וַחֲמִיעָה דְּאִבָּא בִרְשׁוּתִי, דְּלָא חֲמִתֵּהּ וּדְלא בִעַרְתֵּהּ וּדְלָא יְדַעְנָא לֵהּ לִבָּטֵל וְלֶהֱוֵי הֶפְקֵר בְּעַפְרָא דְאַרְעְא.</p>\n\n<p>“ <em>All </em> <em>חָמֵץ</em> <em> and anything leavened that is in my possession, whether I have seen it or not, whether I have observed it or not, whether I have removed it or not, shall be considered nullified and ownerless as the dust of the earth</em>. ”</p>\n\n<p>The next morning, the eve of Passover, you will burn the chametz that was found during the search and you recite the “Kol Chamira” declaration yet again culminating the end of the “chametz-free” process.  This burning is often called  <em>bi’ur chametz </em> (The removal of the Chametz).</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150476/bedikat%20chametz.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/150476/conversions/bedikat%20chametz-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 354, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Bedikat Chametz | Passover haggadah by Wexner LA15", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
