For example, there is a movement to encourage the use of gender-neutral pronouns like ze for he/she and hir for him/her at inclusive Seders. We have incorporated many new traditions into our own Seder for example, the orange on our Seder plate, or the creation of a whole second Seder plate.  While discussing the ancient oppression in Egypt, we should recognize today’s oppression and the struggles for women’s rights, LGBT rights, racial equality and the elimination of unfair discrimination and the assurance of equal rights for all.</p><p><strong>The Hateful Child</strong></p><p> <em>Why must you have your own “Queer” (LGBT) Seder?</em> </p><p>Judaism is about incorporating each individual’s needs into community and cultural celebrations. Very often, traditional Seders are not sufficiently inclusive of Queer people’s needs. A Seder is a moment to reflect upon the painful lessons of long ago. What better time is there to discuss how these barbaric practices of hate and discrimination still thrive today? Let our Seder symbolize our (Queer) ability to overcome obstacles for a brighter future.</p><p><strong>The Apathetic Child</strong></p><p> <em>Why should I participate?</em> </p><p>It is in one’s best interest to recognize the world around him or her and to become involved in making a better future for everyone. Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemoller, who was imprisoned by the Nazis, hauntingly reminds us of this imperative in his famous poem.</p><p> “First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;</p><p>Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist;</p><p>Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;</p><p>Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;</p><p>Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.”</p><p><strong>The Closeted Child</strong></p><p> <em>Does not know how to ask or perhaps is too afraid…</em> </p><p>This child must receive support and guidance from the community. A community that fosters support, tolerance,  inclusion, and understanding is vital to creating an environment where one can explore one’s own identity and understand others’.</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "http://www.jqinternational.org/haggadah.php", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 201, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Four Children | Passover haggadah by Penn State Hillel Hillel", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
