MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AND ABRAHAM J. HESCHEL LEADER Prejudice is like a monster which has many heads, an evil which requires many efforts to overcome. One head sends forth poison against the people of a different race, another against the people of a different religion or culture. Thus the evil of prejudice is indivisible. GROUP Human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals who are...

AS WE BEGIN TONIGHT’S SEDER, let’s take a moment to be thankful for being together. We make a small community of storytellers. But, why this story again? Most of us already know the story of Passover. The answer is that we are not merely telling, or in tonight’s case, singing a story. We are being called to the act of empathy. Not only to hear the story of the Exodus but to feel as if we too were being set free....

So let’s bring Dayeinu into the present. We are grateful, and yet what miracles and accomplishments would be suffcient (Dayeinu) in today’s world for us to be truly satisfied? 1. When all workers of the world receive just compensation and respect for their labors, enjoy safe, healthy and secure working conditions and can take pride in their work. . . DAYEINU 2. When governments end the escalating production of devastating weapons, secure in the knowledge that they will not be necessary....

You can look at the four sons as four generations of Jews in America today. The first generation of eastern European Jewry who emigrated to America at the turn of the century are represented by THE WISE SON. This is the Jew who grew up with a strong connection to the Jewish way of life. His commitment to Judaism is unshakable. HIS SON, THE SECOND GENERATION, is represented in the Wicked Son. This is the rebel who wants to succeed in...

The half matzo, which was hidden earlier, now needs to be found before we can finish the Seder!

They marched us down the length of Pozohony Street, toward the Margaret Bridge and that was when we understood they were bringing us to the edge of the Danube, where they would shoot us and leave us to die under the ice. When we arrived at the foot of the bridge, a Soviet reconnaissance aircraft appeared out of nowhere over our heads. The death march stopped, and there was a moment of chaos while the Nazi guards sought refuge in the...

(to the tune of “I Could Have Danced All Night”) I could have eaten more, I could have eaten more, but it’s afikomen time. The Seder rituals and all those victuals, the evening was sublime. I had my matzo with charoset and matzo dipped in chocolate too. I drank down all my wine and now I’m feeling fine. How good to share this meal with you!

MATZO SANDWICH OF BITTER HERB AND CHAROSET While the English Earl of Sandwich is generally credited for inventing the snack of his namesake, Hillel may have originated it two thousand years ago by combining matzo, a slice of paschal lamb, and a bitter herb. Jews no longer sacrifice and eat the lamb, so now the Passover sandwich is only matzah, charoset, and a bitter herb.

Cleaning and cooking and so many dishes Out with the chametz, no pasta, no knishes Fish that's gefillted, horseradish that stings These are a few of our Passover things. Matzo and karpas and chopped up charoset Shankbones and kiddish and Yiddish neurosis Tante who kvetches and uncle who sings These are a few of our Passover things. Motzi and maror and trouble with Pharaohs Famines and locusts and slaves with wheelbarrows Matzah balls floating and eggshell that cling These are a...
