Maggid - Beginning

Maggid (Introduction)

by JewishBoston

Pour the second glass of wine for everyone. The Haggadah doesn’t tell the story of Passover in a linear fashion. We don’t hear of Moses being found by the daughter of Pharaoh – actually, we don’t hear much of Moses at all. Instead, we get an impressionistic collection of songs, images, and stories of both the Exodus from Egypt and from Passover celebrations through the centuries. Some say that minimizing the role of Moses keeps us focused on the miracles God...

-- Cup #2 & Dayenu

Dayenu with English Hebrew and Transliteration

by Danielle & Misha Slutsky

One of most beloved songs in the Passover seder is "Dayenu". A few of us will read the stanzas one at a time, and the everyone else will respond, "Dayenu" – meaning, “it would have been enough”.How many times do we forget to pause and notice that where we are is exactly where we ought to be? Dayenu is a reminder to never forget all the miracles in our lives. When we stand and wait impatiently for the next one to...

Garlic on the Seder Plate

by Dori Midnight

GARLIC ON THE SEDER PLATE Dori Midnight I began placing garlic on our seder plate a few years ago, as it has been central to my work of reconnecting to and re-enlivening Jewish folk healing traditions and a lifelong love. After the birth of Nishmat Shoom (the queer, radical, non-zionist minyan project I am part of, whose name, inspired by this work, means Breath or Soul of Garlic), many of the Garlic Eaters in our community began adopting this practice and...

Cup of Redemption

by Be'chol Lashon

CUP OF REDEMPTION At a traditional seder we fill a cup of wine for the prophet Elijah who is a symbol of redemption. At this seder we are raising a cup of water as a symbol of the redemption that women have brought through the generations. All: Water is the symbol of life.

The Matzah of Peace

by Jeremy Borovitz

THE MATZAH OF HOPE and PEACE Neal Borovitz Avadim Hayinu: Not only were we slaves to the Pharaoh of Egypt, we have also been enslaved and persecuted by other Pharaohs. Among these Pharaohs of every age were the Kings of Babylonia, the Emperors of Greece and Rome, the Churchmen and Nobles of Medieval Spain, Hitler and his Nazi followers, the Pharaohs of Moscow, and the dictators, potentates and terrorists of the contemporary Arab world. The Babylonian exile was followed by a...

Candle Lighting and Charging your Electronics

by Mikaela Mathern

LEADER: In this time of corona/COVID-19, we are thankful that not only do we have the power of fire and light, but that we have the contemporary power of electricity. Without electricity we would not be able to connect in our virtual seder. Let’s light our candles and plug in our phones or computers if we need to and say: ASSEMBLED: May these candles, lit on the Festival of Freedom, bring light into our hearts and minds. Blessed is the light...
