Each item has its own significance.</p>\n\n<p>Maror – The bitter herb. This symbolizes the harshness of lives of the Jews in Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>Charoset – A delicious mix of sweet wine, apples, cinnamon and nuts that resembles the mortar used as bricks of the many buildings the Jewish slaves built in Egypt</p>\n\n<p>Karpas – A green vegetable, usually parsley, is a reminder of the green sprouting up all around us during spring and is used to dip into the saltwater</p>\n\n<p>Zeroah – A roasted lamb or shank bone symbolizing the sacrifice made at the great temple on Passover (The Paschal Lamb)</p>\n\n<p>Beitzah – The egg symbolizes a different holiday offering that was brought to the temple. Since eggs are the first item offered to a mourner after a funeral, some say it also evokes a sense of mourning for the destruction of the temple.</p>\n\n<p>Orange - The orange on the seder plate has come to symbolize full inclusion in modern day Judaism.  Susannah Heshcel started this tradition in response to students at Oberlin College, who wanted to include a symbol on the seder plate to include lesbian jews. </p>\n\n<p>\"When lecturing, I often mentioned my custom as one of many new feminist rituals that had been developed in the last twenty years. Somehow, though, the typical patriarchal maneuver occurred: My idea of an orange and my intention of affirming lesbians and gay men were transformed. Now the story circulates that a MAN stood up after I lecture I delivered and said to me, in anger, that a woman belongs on the bimah as much as an orange on the Seder plate. My idea, a woman's words, are attributed to a man, and the affirmation of lesbians and gay men is simply erased. Isn't that precisely what's happened over the centuries to women's ideas?\"</p>\n\n<p>Susannah Heschel, April, 2001<br />\nEli Black Professor of Jewish Studies Dartmouth College</p>\n\n<p> Matzah - Matzah is the unleavened bread we eat to remember that when the Jews fled Egypt, they didn’t even have time to let the dough rise on their bread. We commemorate this by removing all bread and bread products from our home during Passover.</p>\n\n<p>Elijah’s Cup The fifth ceremonial cup of wine poured during the Seder. It is left untouched in honor of Elijah, who, according to tradition, will arrive one day as an unknown guest to herald the advent of the Messiah. In order  welcome strangers (who may be Elijah), an extra place is set at the table.</p>\n\n<p>Miriam’s Cup - Another relatively new Passover tradition is that of Miriam’s cup. The cup is filled with water and placed next to Elijah’s cup. Miriam was the sister of Moses and a prophetess in her own right. After the exodus when the Israelites are wandering through the desert, just as god gave them Manna to eat, legend says that a well of water followed Miriam and it was called ‘Miriam’s Well’. The tradition of Miriam’s cup is meant to honor Miriam’s role in the story of the Jewish people and the spirit of all women, who nurture their families just as Miriam helped sustain the Israelites.</p>\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": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 200, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "What's Goin' On? | Passover haggadah by Lily Kaplan", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Their children multiplied and prospered.<br />\nThey held important positions and played an important role in the political, cultural, and economic life of the country. The old Pharaoh died, and there arose a new Pharaoh, who said: “Look! The Jewish people are too mighty for us.” So Pharaoh put the Jews into labor gangs and set taskmasters over them with heavy loads. He made them slaves and treated them harshly.</p>\n\n<p>In spite of the many cruel decrees of Pharaoh, the Jewish people continued to live and grow strong. Hard work could not destroy them. Pharaoh now hit on a new and more terrible plan. He commanded the Jewish midwives to kill every boy born to a Jewish family. The heroic midwives defied this decree. They continued to help the women give birth and their babies grew healthy and strong.</p>\n\n<p>Shortly thereafter, two defiant midwives, Shifra and Pu-ah helped a son to be born into the house of Levi, to Yocheved and her husband Amram. Yocheved, frightened by Pharaoh's law, hid her son in a basket and placed it on the River Nile.</p>\n\n<p>Pharaoh's daughter rescued the baby; the baby’s sister Miriam, who was hiding in the bulrush plants, offered to find a woman to nurse him. She ran to get Yocheved, the baby’s mother. So Moses, Moishe, which means, “drawn from the water,” was raised by his own mother, his sister, and the Pharaoh’s daughter.</p>\n\n<p>He grew up as a prince, but aware that he was a Jew. One day he tried to stop a taskmaster from beating a slave. Moses hit the taskmaster and accidentally killed him. He was forced to flee the palace. The story goes that one day he saw a bush that was on fire and yet alive and green. Moses saw this as a sign that he must rescue the Jewish people from slavery. Moses saw his people's suffering in Mitzrayim and wanted to set them free. Some say that Moses was the first community organizer, helping Jews see their treatment as unjust and leading them in a fight against oppression and an escape to freedom, building a sense of unity and peoplehood.</p>\n\n<p>The story says that ten plagues ravished Mitzrayim, and then Pharaoh finally agreed to let the Israelites leave. Soon after, however, Pharaoh had a change of heart and mobilized his soldiers to recapture the Jewish slaves, who were now on the shores of the Red Sea. The Jews looked back and saw Pharaoh’s army approaching. The only way out was to jump into the sea before them. According to the book of Exodus, the sea parted, creating a path.</p>\n\n<p>Legend has it that the waters did not divide until one man, Nachshon, walked into the sea. As he walked in, the water rose above his ankles, above his knees, above his waist, above his shoulders, above his mouth and nose - and he kept walking. In doing so he acted as a free person ready to take the ultimate risk for his freedom, and only then did the waters of the Red Sea part for the Jews to walk through. When they reached the other side, the waters flowed back together, catching the army of Mitzrayim and drowning them.</p>\n\n<p>When the Jewish people had crossed the Red Sea, they looked back at Pharaoh’s army and realized that they who were drowning had suffered as well. The Israelites’ joy at escaping slavery was not complete because of the suffering of the others.</p>\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": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 201, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Telling the Story Part 1 | Passover haggadah by Lily Kaplan", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Many have been compared to him. A Hasidic tale urges us not to compare ourselves to Moses. In the tale, Rabbi Zusya tells his students that when he leaves this life and arrives in the World to Come, he will not be asked, “Why were you not Moses?” but rather, “Why were you not Zusya?” Trying to be</p>\n\n<p>Moses, or Gandhi, or Cesar Chavez, or Martin Luther King Jr., can limit our confidence and stifle our own creativity.</p>\n\n<p>Yet we might ask, what did Moses do that I can learn from? When Moses had grown up, “he went out to his kinsfolk and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his kinsmen. He looked here and there and seeing that no one was about, he struck the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.” The rabbinic commentators point out that Moses’ first experience as an activist was to see his fellow with his eyes and his heart, and suffer on his or her account. Not only that, but when he “looked here and there, seeing no one,” it means that he saw no one who was ready to champion the cause of justice.</p>\n\n<p>The first step to standing up, whether to taskmasters or to Pharaoh or to bullies or to any injustice, is this simple act: look and see. You may not feel personally threatened. You may be perfectly comfortable. You may want to run away. But the minute you see someone else’s suffering, your heart can’t help but be moved.</p>\n\n<p>Still, in this one action, Moses did not succeed in freeing the oppressed Hebrews. The liberation did not begin with Moses, but with the cry of the Hebrews themselves: “They were groaning under the bondage and cried out; and their cry for help from the bondage rose up to God. God heard their moaning, and God took notice of them.” The Jewish tradition understands these verses to mean that until the people actually cry out, until they speak about their suffering, until they come together to say “we won’t take it anymore,” nothing changes. The midwives were ready to be leaders, Yocheved and Miriam were ready, Pharaoh’s daughter was ready, and Moses himself was ready. But no one could take the Israelites out of Egypt until the people were ready. Each of us has a role to play in the task of liberation; when we lift our voices together, we can crash through all obstacles to justice.</p>\n\n<p>“When I dare to be powerful — to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”</p>\n\n<p>— Audre Lorde</p>\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": "Maggid - Beginning", "slug": "maggid-beginning" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 198, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Telling the Story Part 2 | Passover haggadah by Lily Kaplan", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
