Freedom Seder- Fourth Cup: Responsibility and Action
[**Fourth cup: Responsibility and action]
[Pour the cup. Someone reads:]
In a free society, some are guilty. But all are responsible.
Ñ Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, 1944; 1964.
Ten Healings
INVITED SPEAKERS set forth Ten Healings that we ourselves must bring to heal the birth from the Plagues we have discerned. Someone reads:
All are responsible. Yet we are not all alike. Having heard some teaching about the Ten Healings now needed, we turn to each other, face to face, to ask ourselves: What can we do? What will we do? What can each one of us offer so that together we can reweave the flow of life?
At our tables, year by year, we meet four people — One who seeks wisdom in the teachings of the past. One who rebels, seeking new knowledge from a time of transformation. One who seeks truth through simplicity of heart. One who does not relate by asking but remains open, waiting to be filled with experience. Which are you? What will you bring?
[At each table, invite and wait for discussion on what people are prepared to do.}
{After discussion, all sing:]
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere. Go tell it on the mountain/To let my people go!/Who are the people dressed in white?/Let my people go!/Must be the children of the Israelite/ Let my people go!/Who are the people dressed in red?/Let my people go!/Must be the people that Moses led./Let my people go!/Who are the people dressed in black?/Let my people go!/Must be the hypocrites a-turning back./Let my people go!
