It is the story of our our ancestors went out from slavery in Egypt to freedom.</p>\n\n<p>The Bible says, \"We were slaves in the land of Egypt.\" And we have an obligation to tell the story of the Exodus because \"in every generation, one ought to regard oneself as though he or she had been personally liberated from slavery.\"</p>\n\n<p>It is written \"in every generation\" because in all generations people struggle for dignity and independence, for meaning and continuity. Every people has its Moses.</p>\n\n<p>Long ago, Abraham left his country and his father's house to go to the land of Canaan, where he would become the founder of \"a great nation.\" He married Sarah, the princess of Ur, who brought him riches, flocks, and hereditary power.</p>\n\n<p>When Sarah was 90 years old, she gave birth to Isaac. Isaac and Rebecca were the parents of twins, Jacob and Esau. Esau sold his share of his birthright to his brother, Jacob, in exchange for red pottage. Jacob, then, was recognized as Isaac's firstborn. Jacob had four wives, two of them sister, Rachel and Leah. Among the twelve sons of Jacob was Joseph, who was sold by his brothers into slavery in Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>In Egypt, Joseph came to the attention of the Pharaoh because he had the ability to interpret the Pharoah's dreams. He became an advisor to Pharaoh. He told Pharaoh to build storehouses and fill them with grain. When years of famine struck, there was food to eat in Egypt. The Pharaoh was so grateful that when Joseph's brothers came in search of food, he invited them to settle. They lived there for many years and became known as the Israelites.</p>\n\n<p>After a while, a new king ruled over Egypt \"who knew not Joseph.\" He enslaved the Israelites because they were becoming \"too many and too might for us.\" Taskmasters were set over them and they were afflicted with burdens and they were made to build cities and pyramids for the Egyptians.</p>\n\n<p>Generations passed and a new Pharaoh feared a prophecy that a male child would be born to the Hebrew slaves who would lead a rebellion among the slaves and threaten the Pharoah's throne. This Pharaoh ordered that all newborn boys be thrown into the Nile River.</p>\n\n<p>A Levite couple, Amram and Yocheved, would not kill their newborn son. Midrash tells us he was radiant with light. Instead, they hid him in their hut for three months. When his cries became too loud, Yocheved saves her baby by setting him adrift on an ark of bulrushes on the river Nile. Their daughter, Miriam, kept watch to see what would happen. The Pharoah's daughter, coming to bathe in the river, finds the child. She felt pity for the helpless child and decided to keep him as her own. She named him Moshe (Moses), which means \"drawn from the water.\" Bravely, Miriam asked the Pharoah's daughter if she needed a nurse to help him with the baby. And so, it happened that Yocheved was able to care for her own son and teach him about his heritage.</p>\n\n<p>Moses would have continued to live at the Pharoah's palace forever, but he could not ignore the suffering of his people. Once when he saw an Egyptian beating an Israelite slave, he could not control his anger, and he killed the Egyptian. Knowing his life would be in danger once the news of his deed spread, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he became a shepherd. There he marries Zipporah, the daughter of Midianite priest Jethro.</p>\n\n<p>One day, while tending sheep on Mount Horeb, Moses heard God's voice calling him. God appeared to him as a burning bush. Moses asked God for his name and God replied \"I AM that I AM.\"</p>\n\n<p>God said, \"I am the God of your ancestors. I have seen the suffering of the Israelites and I have heard their cries. I am ready to take them out of Egypt and bring them to a new land, a land flowing with milk and honey.\" God told Moses to return to Egypt to bring the message of freedom to the Israelites, to lead the them into Canaan, the land promised to Abraham.</p>\n\n<p>When Moses asked Pharaoh to free the Israelites, he refused, so God brought ten plagues on the Egyptians, including a river of blood, an invasion of frogs, and the death of first-born children. Each plague frightened the Pharaoh, and each time, he promised to free the slaves. But when each plague ended, Pharaoh did not keep his word. It was only after the last plague, the death of the first-born of the Egyptians, that Pharaoh agreed to let the Israelites go. To make sure that no Israelite first-born was destroyed by mistake, the Israelites marked their doorways with the blood of the Paschal lamb so that the Angel of Death would \" <em>pass over</em> their houses.\"</p>\n\n<p>The Israelites feared that Pharaoh would not keep his promise to release them, so they prepared to leave Egypt in a great hurry. They did not have time to allow the dough to rise to make bread to take with them, so they baked a simple, unleavened bread.</p>\n\n<p>The Israelites did not leave Egypt alone; a “mixed multitude” went with them. From this we learn that liberation is not for us alone, but for all the nations of the earth. Even Pharaoh’s daughter came with them.</p>\n\n<p>Pharaoh reneged on his promise and sent his armies to to capture and kill the Israelites as they are leaving. They followed the Israelites to the Sea of Reeds, and the waters parted to let the Israelites cross in safety and freedom. We mourn, even now, that Pharoah's army drowned. Our liberation is bittersweet because people died in our pursuit. To this day, we relive our liberation, that we many not become complacent, that we may always rejoice in our freedom.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "The Family Haggadah", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 233, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Exodus | Passover haggadah by Lisa Stolzer", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

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 return to Zion; the Hellenistic domination by the Maccabean victory; the destruction of the Second Temple by Rome with the flourishing of rabbinic Judaism in both the Land of Israel and Babylonia; the expulsion from Spain by tolerance, first in Turkey and Holland and then, ultimately, by the birth of an American Jewish community. Hitler, the Pharaoh of Auschwitz, whose acts of genocide surpassed the sins of all the other enemies in history: Even he we survived. Thirty years ago the doors in the iron curtain of the Soviet Union were breached and nearly two million Jews were given the opportunity to live freely as Jews.</p>\n\n<p>Yet redemption is not complete. Israeli and Palestinian leaders have yet to find a way to answer the yearning for peace with security that we all seek. Millions of Arabs flee their homes and hundreds of thousands die in the Syrian civil war. Anti-Semitism is on the rise in both Europe and America. Yet perhaps the greatest threat to the Jewish community today is the sin of “Sinat Chinam”, the hatred between Jews of differing religious streams and political perspectives. It is a cancer threatening the body and soul of the Jewish people in the 21st century.</p>\n\n<p>On this Passover night let us also vow to stand in solidarity with Israel, even when we do not agree with its government policies and to strengthen Israeli democracy. Let us vow to work for better understanding between and cooperation among Jews of differing religious streams and political opinions. Avadim Hayinu—Tonight we remember that we have been slaves. Ata B’nai Horin—Now, we are the children of freedom.

Before the song begins, each seder participant stands, takes a scallion and starts whacking the other members of the feast. In some families, one scallion is passed around the table while each person takes a turn whipping. There is some debate about where the custom originates. Many believe it is a way to mimic the whips of slave drivers in Egypt. But others say it's a reference to Bamidbar 11:5-6, a passage that describes the Israelites' longing for Egyptian onions while eating manna during their 40 years wandering in the desert. Seder participants whip one other as a way to scold one another for desiring any aspect of their lives of enslavement.</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Time ", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/121798/images_98.jpeg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/121798/conversions/images_98-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 205, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Whipping with Onions | Passover haggadah by Lisa Stolzer", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

According to some modern Jewish commentators, what appears to be a light-hearted song may be symbolic. One interpretation is that Chad Gadya is about the different nations that have conquered the Land of Israel: The kid symbolizes the Jewish people, the cat, Assyria; the dog, Babylon; the stick, Persia; the fire, Macedonia; the water, Roman Empire; the ox, the Saracens; the slaughterer, the Crusaders; the angel of death, the Turks. At the end, God returns to send the Jews back to Israel. The recurring refrain of 'two zuzim' is a reference to the two stone tablets given to Moses on Mount Sinai (or refer to Moses and Aaron).  Though commonly interpreted as an historical allegory of the Jewish people, the song may also represent the journey to self-development. The price of two zuzim, mentioned in every stanza, is equal to the half-shekel tax upon every adult Israelite male; making the price of two zuzim the price of a Jewish soul. In 1994, Rabbi Kenneth Brander summarized the interpretations of three rabbis: as a list of the pitfalls and perils facing the soul during one's life, as a very abbreviated history of Israel from the Covenant of the Two Pieces recorded in Genesis 15 (the two zuzim), to slavery in Egypt (the cat), the staff of Moses (the stick) and ending with the Roman conqueror Titus (the Angel of Death), and as a description of  the Passover ritual in the Temple of Jerusalem - the goat purchased for the Paschal sacrifice, according to the Talmud dreaming of a cat is a premonition of singing such as occurs in the seder, the Talmud also relates that dogs bark after midnight which is the time limit for the seder, the priest who led the cleaning of the altar on Passover morning would use water to wash his hands, many people at the Temple that day would bring oxen as sacrifices, the Angel of Death is the Roman Empire that destroyed the Second Temple.</p>\n\n<p>The real meaning of the song may be that, in jewish history, all creatures, all beings, all events, are connected. The goat, the cat, the fire, the water, the slaughterer, and the redeemer are all part of the story.</p>\n\n<p>Sometimes stories are sad.  Still, it is important to tell them and retell them, to live them again and again, this year and next, when we shall meet again around this Seder table. </p>", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/121807/chadgfullbig_0.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/121807/conversions/chadgfullbig_0-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Songs", "slug": "songs" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 266, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Chad Gadya | Passover haggadah by Lisa Stolzer", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
