We see a little of ourselves in each child as we discuss their place in the seder and how we explain to them the story of Passover. Do we tell them that we were there together at Sinai, including them in our legacy, or do we exclude them and criticize their apathy?</p>\n\n<p>This year, as we consider Passover’s Four Children around the seder table, let us discover and discuss the tension between our Jewish community’s obligation to “till and tend” the earth as God told humankind in the Garden of Eden, and the spectrum of beliefs that many may hold about climate change.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The Wise Child:</strong></p>\n\n<p>This child knows that climate change is real and that they must act to combat its effects. The Wise Child has read that global temperatures and sea levels are rising every year, that more species are becoming endangered, and that more communities are experiencing extreme weather events and decreased crop viability. The Wise Child sees all this and is motivated to combat climate change in any way they can.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The Wicked Child:</strong></p>\n\n<p>The Wicked Child has read about climate change and is aware that scientists predict a whole range of negative effects if we don’t reduce global carbon emissions. But the Wicked Child doesn’t think the issues caused by climate change apply to them. They believe climate change will only affect the poor and the vulnerable in places they will never visit. They remain unconcerned.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The Simple Child:</strong></p>\n\n<p>The Simple Child is overwhelmed by the idea that humankind could be radically altering the entire face of the earth. They don’t believe it’s possible that scientific predictions are accurate. This child simply ignores the evidence that the problem is real at all.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The One Who Does Not Know How to Ask:</strong></p>\n\n<p>This child is much more like The Wise Child than we may typically imagine. The One Who Does Not Know How to Ask has also read about climate change and knows that environmental degradation and the effects on the global population are a real and present threat. Unlike The Wise Child and much more like the Simple Child, this child is overwhelmed. How is this possible? This child might ask, How can I, alone, prevent this global catastrophe?</p>\n\n<p>Just as we are like and unlike each of the Four Children of the Passover seder that we discuss every year, we each have in us elements of the Four Children of climate change. We all have some awareness that climate change is an issue, but may be able to face its gravity differently, and may or may not acknowledge to ourselves the relationship between our action and carbon emissions.</p>\n\n<p>There is an answer for each of these children.  How would you answer each of these children?Is it enough for us to personally change our habits, or do we need to have a transformation of our economic system and way of being?  How do each of us sometimes fall within these different categories of children? How can we answer these different children?

We can celebrate also the victories of freedom achieved, 11 11 however limited, when the U.S. freed itself from English domination, when the French Revolution overthrew the ruthless monarchy of the past, and when subsequent revolutions in Europe allowed the Jews to come out of the ghettoes and become equal citizens with Christians in the last half of the 19th century. We can celebrate the ending of slavery in the U.S., partial and flawed, as the subsequent segregation was, the victories of feminist and LGBTQ movements in the past 100 years. We also celebrate the victories working class people who managed through unions and political organizing to secure an 8 hour day and a minimum wage and some safety and health regulations for many workplaces, even as we recognize that these same victories may have to be fought for again as many of the gains of the past are fast being dismantled by the Trump/Pence Administration. We also celebrate the victories of national liberation struggles in South and Central America, Africa and Asia in the 20th century overcoming colonial and imperial regimes. We celebrate the victory to end Apartheid in South Africa, the victory to end British rule over much of Ireland and India, the victory of the Vietnamese people to overcome the harsh regimes created by the French and then by the U.S. We can celebrate the freeing of serfs in Russia and the overthrow of the rule of the Czars, the overthrow of the feudal realities in China and the partial liberation of over a billion people there, including huge advances in the status of women from the days less than a hundred years ago when many had their feet tied together so that they could not escape oppressive family situations. And yet, in every case, including our own liberation from Egypt, when we look carefully we see that what followed often had new and different forms of oppression, but also new possibilities for future struggles to overthrow those new forms of oppression. We invite you, the people at our Seder, to now call out other liberation struggles like those of our own people, that you want to honor tonight, even though we all know that every struggle has been only partial, and that the struggle for liberation must continue everywhere on our planet including in our own country and in our own hearts and souls.

The green vegetables we dip in the water suggest the possibility of growth and renewal even in the midst of grief.</p>\n\n<p>The greens on the table also remind us of our commitment to protect the planet from ecological destruction. Instead of focusing narrowly on what we may “realistically” accomplish in today’s world, we must focus on what the planet needs in order to survive and flourish. We must get out of the narrow place in our thinking and look at the world not as a resource, but as a focus for awe, wonder, and amazement. We must reject the societal story that identifies success and progress with endless growth and accumulation of things. Instead we will focus on acknowledging that we already have enough; we need to stop exploiting our resources and instead care for the earth.</p>\n\n<p>We are descended from slaves, people who staged the first successful slave rebellion in recorded history. Ever since, our people has kept alive the story of liberation, and the consciousness that cruelty and oppression are not inevitable “facts of life” but conditions that can be changed.</p>\n\n<p>The task may seem more overwhelming to us today than in previous moments. Today there is no longer some easily identifiable external evil force playing the role of Pharaoh. Instead, we live in an increasingly unified global economic and political system that brings well-being to some even as it increases the misery of others.</p>\n\n<p>We are in the midst of a huge spiritual and environmental crisis. Our society has lost its way. Yet most of us are even embarrassed to talk about this seriously, so certain are we that we could never do anything to transform this reality, and fearful that we will be met with cynicism and derision for even allowing ourselves to think about challenging the kind of technocratic and alienating rationality that parades itself as “progress” in the current world.</p>\n\n<p>The Exodus story teaches us to see that all this could be changed.</p>\n\n<p>The ancient Jewish idea is that our task is to be partners with God in healing and transforming our world—Tikkun Olam. We know that the world can be healed and transformed — that is the whole point of telling the Passover story. Our task is to find the ways to continue the struggle for liberation in our own times and in our own circumstances.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the steps include:</p>\n\n<p>a. Recognizing each other as allies in that struggle.</p>\n\n<p>b. Pouring out love into the world.</p>\n\n<p>c. Rejecting the cynical view that everyone is out for himself or herself, that there is nothing but selfishness.</p>\n\n<p>d. Taking the risks of being the first ones out in public to articulate an agenda of social change — even though being that person may mean risking economic security, physical security, and sometimes even risking the alienation of friends and family.</p>\n\n<p>e. Allowing ourselves to envision the world the way we really want it to be — and not getting stuck in spiritually crippling talk about what is “realistic.”</p>\n\n<p>The story of Passover is about our people learning to overcome the “realistic” way of looking at the world. Tonight we want to affirm our connection with a different truth: that the world is governed by a spiritual power, by the Force of Transformation and Healing, and that we are created in Her image, we are embodiments of the Spirit, and we have the capacity to join with each other and transform the world we are in.</p>\n\n<p>Affirming that, we dip the greens on our Seder plate in joy at the beauty and goodness of this earth and its vegetation, and recommitting ourselves to do all we can to stop those processes in our society that are contributing to the destruction of the earth.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dip some parsley or celery or some other green vegetable into the salt water, symbolic not only of tears our past suffering from oppression, but also of our tears for the suffering of the earth, the suffering of all on this planet who are caught up in systems of oppression:</p>\n\n<p>Brukha at Yah Shekhinah, ru’akh khey ha’olamim, boreyt pree ha’adamah.</p>\n\n<p>Some communities have the custom of affirming spring as the eternal return of life to the earth through the symbol of eating a hardboiled egg, which is dipped in salt water to remind us of the suffering of slavery that continues even when the earth is rejoicing and reclaiming life!
