Motzi-Matzah

Traditional - Motzi-Matzah

by Haggadot

Motzi-Matzah מוֹצִיא Take the three matzot - the broken piece between the two whole ones – and hold them in your hand and recite the following blessing: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַמּוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן הָאָרֶץ Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.

Traditional - Yachatz

by Haggadot

Take the middle matzah and break it into two, one piece larger than the other. The larger piece is set aside to serve as Afikoman. This is traditionally hidden, by the leader of the Seder for the children to “steal” or “find” and then ransom for a something at the end of the Seder. The smaller piece is put back, between the two matzot. This smaller piece, along with the top matzah is what will be used for the “Motzi-Matzah” and...

Dayenu -- For This, We are Grateful

by Phil Neuman

In the traditional Passover Seder, we thank God for the miracles God performed, and, after reciting each miracle, reply aloud "Dayenu" -- this alone would have been enough and for this we are grateful.Hunger is a slavery of our times, a bondage from which we continue to struggle. Yet, though our freedom from hunger is incomplete, we have taken great steps forward in the fight against hunger and oppression in the United States.We take time now to reflect on all those...

Urchatz

Traditional - Urchatz

by Haggadot

Ritually wash hands without reciting the blessing. The need for hand washing before eating vegetables is no longer a ritual requirement, however, it is included here in the traditional Seder.

The Afikoman

by Kalsman Institute

Finding and Eating the Afikoman In hiding and seeking the afikoman, we reunite the two parts separated at the beginning of the seder. At this moment, we have the opportunity to discover lost parts of ourselves, to become reconciled with relatives who have become distant and to find wholeness in aspects of Judaism which may not have been part of our lives. Finding that which is hidden is a powerful message when we feel loss and lost. Within our loss, we...

-- Four Children

What is a child?

by Josh Feigelson

Passover is the Jewish people’s most child-centered holiday. From the game of hide-and-seek during the search for hametz on the night before the seder, to the bookend game of finding the afikomen that enables the seder to conclude, children are the focus of much of the attention of the holiday. The Torah itself directs our minds to our children in the verse that forms the basis of the seder itself: “On that day tell your son, ‘I do this because of...

Maror

by Rachel Gallop

When I was young my father would teach me about the Torah through debates. Before Pesach, he would tell me of the special relationship between Moses and Hashem. In the days that Moses spent on Mount Sinai, Hashem took him through the seven heavens and Ganaden and Gaheniem (what people would consider heavenly gardens and the pits of hell). Moses was shown the most beautiful of things and the most evil. When Moses asked why Hashem would create such evil, he...

Our duty to question

by Rachel Gallop

Some Answers Questioning is a sign of freedom, and so we begin with questions. To ritualize only one answer would be to deny that there can be many, often conflicting answers. To think that life is only black and white, or wine and Maror, bitter or sweet, or even that the cup is half empty or half full is to enslave ourselves to simplicity. Each of us feels the challenge to search for our own answers. The ability to question is...

Karpas

by Rachel Gallop

HEBREW: THE FANTASIA OF LANGUAGE In the Hebrew language, every letter is not only a letter, but also represents a number, a word, and a concept. For example, the letter aleph, the first letter of the alphabet, has the numerical value of one. Aleph is also a word which means to champion, or to lead. The second letter of the alphabet, bet, has the numerical value of two and also means house ― bayit in Hebrew. Hebrew letters, then, are far...

The song is about being grateful to God for all of the gifts he gave the Jewish people, such as taking them out of slavery, giving them the Torah and Shabbat, and had God only given one of the gifts, it would have still been enough. This is to show much greater appreciation for all of them as a whole.DayenuIlu ho-tsi, ho-tsi-a-nu, Ho-tsi-a-nu mi-Mitz-ra-yim, Ho-tsi-a-nu mi-Mitz-ra-yim, Da-ye-nu!.. CHORUS: .. Dai, da-ye-nu, ..
