In order to feel less helpless in the face of nature’s fierce capricious power, religions found comfort in blaming the victims of plagues for their own suffering. The Torah ascribes mass slaughter to God as divine punishment for sin: “They brought this upon themselves, they had it coming.”  </p>\n\n<p>But God is praying to be freed from this monstrous portrayal.<br />\nTonight is the time to liberate God from this twisted, sadistic depiction.<br />\nTonight is the time to proclaim God as the One who lifts us up, frees us,<br />\nshelters and blesses us each day.<br />\nPassover will survive without a belief in a God who visits plagues upon any soul. </p>\n\n<p>The key to Passover is a belief in rebirth, a belief that tomorrow can be better than today;<br />\na knowing that we each have a critical part to play in the unfolding of hope.<br />\nFreedom begins with open eyes and ears and hearts.<br />\nSeas will part, answers will come, cures will emerge,<br />\nNew ways of believing will sprout up and take root,<br />\nA universal love that mirrors God’s love for every living creature<br />\nAnd for our world.</p>\n\n<p>In the book of Exodus we are told that Pharaoh’s sorcerers were able to replicate the plague of frogs. The only difference between Moses and the sorcerers was: only Moses could remove the plague.<br />\nWhen the sorcerers witnessed Moses reverse the plague they cried out: “This is the hand of God.”</p>\n\n<p>The truth is, it doesn’t take any great supernatural powers to bring about a plague. We all have the power to destroy life and to destroy the earth and our atmosphere. But it does take great holy powers to reverse a plague, to heal the sick, to heal our planet, to heal hatred and war.  The Healing Hand of God acting through us is what will save us and lead us from constriction to wide open spaces,<br />\nfrom fear to faith, from darkness to light, from worry to peace of mind,<br />\nfrom economic hardship to abundance, from illness to health.</p>\n\n<p>Let us raise a glass and drink a Cup of Praise to the Soul of Souls<br />\nwho fills us with the power to end all plagues.<br />\nAnd let us say, Amen. </p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Naomi Levy", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 239, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "God Does Not Bring Plagues | Passover haggadah by Emilia Diamant", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

The stories we tell our children shape what they believe to be possible—which is why at Passover, we must tell the stories of the women who played a crucial role in the Exodus narrative.</p>\n\n<p>The Book of Exodus, much like the Book of Genesis, opens in pervasive darkness. Genesis describes the earth as “unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep.” In Exodus, darkness attends the accession of a new Pharaoh who feared the Israelites and so enslaved them. God alone lights the way out of the darkness in Genesis. But in Exodus, God has many partners, first among them, five brave women.</p>\n\n<p>There is Yocheved, Moses’ mother, and Shifra and Puah, the famous midwives. Each defies Pharaoh’s decree to kill the Israelite baby boys. And there is Miriam, Moses’ sister, about whom the following midrash is taught: [When Miriam’s only brother was Aaron] she prophesied… “my mother is destined to bear a son who will save Israel.” When [Moses] was born the whole house… filled with light[.] [Miriam’s] father arose and kissed her on the head, saying, “My daughter, your prophecy has been fulfilled.” But when they threw [Moses] into the river her father tapped her on the head saying, “Daughter, where is your prophecy?” So it is written, “And [Miriam] stood afar off to know what would be[come of] the latter part of her prophecy.”</p>\n\n<p>Finally, there is Pharaoh’s daughter Batya, who defies her own father and plucks baby Moses out of the Nile. The Midrash reminds us that Batya knew exactly what she doing: When Pharaoh’s daughter’s handmaidens saw that she intended to rescue Moses, they attempted to dissuade her, and persuade her to heed her father.</p>\n\n<p>They said to her: “Our mistress, it is the way of the world that when a king issues a decree, it is not heeded by the entire world, but his children and the members of his household do observe it, and you wish to transgress your father’s decree?”</p>\n\n<p>But transgress she did.</p>\n\n<p>These women had a vision leading out of the darkness shrouding their world. They were women of action, prepared to defy authority to make their vision a reality bathed in the light of the day. Retelling the heroic stories of Yocheved, Shifra, Puah, Miriam and Batya reminds our daughters that with vision and the courage to act, they can carry forward the tradition those intrepid women launched.</p>\n\n<p>While there is much light in today’s world, there remains in our universe disheartening darkness, inhumanity spawned by ignorance and hate. We see horrific examples in the Middle East, parts of Africa, and Ukraine. The Passover story recalls to all of us—women and men—that with vision and action we can join hands with others of like mind, kindling lights along paths leading out of the terrifying darkness.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "AJWS", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Commentary / Readings", "slug": "commentary-readings" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 330, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "AJWS: The Heroic and Visionary Women of Passover | Passover haggadah by Emilia Diamant", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It’s not blue dye that the river is running with, and periods are more trouble than the pamphlet in that goody bag from middle-school health class would leave one to believe. “It’s beautiful to be female,” <a href=\"http://bit.ly/1kNGJyS\">we’re told</a>, but nobody accounts for cramps and cramps and cramps and bloodied sheets and cramps. We are under no obligation to love our bodies, to delight in the “privilege” of femaleness, not when we are compelled to hide it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Frogs:</strong> They hear our voices blurred into the high-pitched hum of a summer night, <em>ribbet ribbet,</em>like, <em>ribbet.</em> We are alive, vibrant, excited, communicating. We speak fast, sentences overlapping, as the men across the Shabbat table snicker at our pace and our tone. If they listened, they would hear us speak of politics. If they listened to our chirping, they would hear us planning our way into every crevice of their world. We will fill it with our voices.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Lice:</strong> Squirming, fidgeting, wanting to crawl out of our skin. A teacher detains us in the hall to talk about our thighs – it’s supposed to be about the skirt, but the fabric that’s there isn’t the problem. The heels we wore to that interview hurt our nervous, trembling feet as we talk about our favorite books, our biggest challenges. We feel it, all over, all the time, itching in our souls as we adjust the tight-but-not-too-tight skirt.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Wild Animals:</strong> We clutch keys in our hand on the walk home, never feeling safe alone at night. Alone with a trusted male friend, the thought still occurs; after all, so many rapes are committed by those who are close. Who says we’ll be the one to avoid it? The numbers mean we’re never safe, always wondering, fearing we’ll be pounced on.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Cattle Pestilence:</strong> Herded into classrooms, desks in straight rows, filling out bubble after bubble with that pencil. We lose our humanity in ID numbers and testing tricks, cattle in high schools on Sunday morning. Do we need an extra calculator? How long is this section? Am I about to ruin my future? Phone rings, scores will be canceled. Don’t open the book until we’re told. d c a b a b b b b b b. Crap, that can’t be right.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Boils:</strong> Flawed, flawed skin. Primer, concealer, foundation, powder, contour, highlight. Remove with alcohol and oil. Exfoliate. Face wash. Moisturizer. How much does this cost? How much of this is toxic? We work to unlearn the idealization of perfect faces on glossy pages, and still cringe at the dark circles, the and that one zit near our nose. We fill landfills and souls with the garbage from our “beauty” routines, but we’re never satisfied, always something more we need to fix our “tainted” skin.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Hail:</strong> Fire and ice. Smart or likable. Hot or serious. Sexual or respectable. Mature or excited. Intellectual or fun. Strong or elegant. Choose.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Locusts:</strong> They descend on us, pick us bare, for the future of the Jewish people. We don’t align with denominations. We don’t look good in demographic surveys. We don’t care about continuity. We care about meaning, and that scares them. We do not exist to feed the future. We are not here to raise Jewish children. We are here to be Jews in our own right. Consume us, envelop us into your structure. There’ll be nothing left.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Darkness:</strong> We girls are still not welcomed into the halls of study, into the mazes of letters. We fight for the Talmud, and look blindly at the reading notation over and under the Torah text. We are left in the dark about how to sing those words, in the dark about the culture of Jews interpreting and creating our texts for thousands of years. We bring our flashlights, weaving our way through forms frozen, stagnated by the dark they themselves have created.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Death of the Firstborn:</strong> This is not our plague. We are not the firstborn. We are secondary, taken for granted, always in the ensemble but never given a starring role. We have been here for centuries, mothers and sisters and wives of the firstborn. We are the bat mitzvah girls given jewelry where our male friends got books. We are the teenagers given strange looks when we walk into the <em>beit midrash</em> and slide a volume of Talmud from the shelf. We are the stranger, higher voices singing the words of the Torah from the bima. We are reading it. It will be ours.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "http://zeek.forward.com/articles/118165/", "featured": 1, "featuredIn": { "title": "Women's Seder", "slug": "womens-seder-1", "author": "Haggadot" }, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 325, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "A Seventeen-Year-Old Jewish Feminist's Ten Plagues | Passover haggadah by Emilia Diamant", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Because racism is a Jewish issue. Because our liberation is connected.</p>\n\n<p>White Ashkenazi Jews have a rich history but are only a part of the Jewish story. Mizrahi &amp; Sephardi Jews; Yemeni Jews; Ethiopian Jews; Jews who trace their heritage to the Dominican Republic, to Cuba &amp; Mexico; to Guyana &amp; Trinidad; descendants of enslaved Africans whose ancestors converted or whose parents intermarried.</p>\n\n<p>Jews of color are diverse, multihued and proud of it — proud of our Jewishness and proud of our Blackness. But though our lives are joyous and full, racism forces us down a narrow, treacherous path. On the one hand we experience the same oppression that afflicts all people of color in America — racism targets us, our family members, and our friends. On the other hand, the very community that we would turn to for belonging and solidarity — our Jewish community — often doesn’t acknowledge our experience.</p>\n\n<p>Jews of color cannot choose to ignore the experiences of people of color everywhere, anymore than we would ignore our Jewishness. We must fully inhabit both communities and we need all Jews to stand with us, forcefully and actively opposing racism and police violence.</p>\n\n<p>But in order to do so, we must pare our past trauma from our present truth: our history of oppression leaves many of us hyper-vigilant and overly preoccupied with safety. As Jews we share a history that is overburdened with tales of violent oppression. Though different Jewish communities have varying experiences, none of us have escaped painful legacies of persecution, including genocide. This past is real, and part of why we gather today is to remember it. But the past is past. However seductive harsh policing, surveillance and incarceration may be in the short term, it will never serve us in the end. Not when those tactics brutalize other communities, humiliating and incarcerating our neighbors and perpetuate a status quo that leaves low-income communities of color on the other side of a sea of fear — still trapped; still stranded. The only real way out of the Mitzrayim of our fears is solidarity. Only by forging deep connections and sharing struggle with other communities will we creating the lasting allies who will walk with us into the promised land of our collective liberation. That is true Jewish freedom — true and lasting safety.</p>\n\n<p> <em>They cried to Moses, “What have you done to us, taking us out of Egypt ... it is better to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness” (14:11-12).</em> </p>\n\n<p>When Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, it was a moment of great risk and great change. As the passage above shows us, though life under Pharaoh was cruel and crushing, it was also familiar — a known fear. After a century of servitude, freedom. What changed? It was the Jewish people daring to imagine for themselves something greater. Daring to take great risks and face great fears to find liberation. This willingness to stand up for justice is a strength we have found again and again. When the oppression of economic exploitation demanded it, our grandparents found it in the labor movement; when the civil rights movement demanded it, our parents traveled to the South to register voters. Now this moment demands again that we take risks for justice.</p>\n\n<p>What our neighbors in communities of color are asking — what the Jews of color in our own communities need from their fellow Jews — is that we push past the comfortable and move to action. In the streets, in our synagogues and homes, with our voices, our bodies, our money and resources, with our imaginations. In doing so we must center the voices and the leadership of Jews of color and other communities of color, while forming deep partnerships and long-term commitments to fight for lasting change. Passover is a time of remembrance but also one of renewal — of looking ahead toward the spring and new growth that will sustain us through the seasons to come.</p>\n\n<p>Once we spent spring in the desert. It was harsh and difficult but from that journey grew a people who have endured for centuries.

Each step in the Seder has its place. We begin with a welcome, then explain the purpose of the gathering, enjoy a sacred communal meal, and close with thanksgiving and hope for the future. Within this fixed order, there is still room to tell stories, to discuss, and most important, to ask questions.

At the end of the biblical book of <a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/texts/Bible/Torah/Genesis.shtml\">Genesis</a>, Joseph moves his family to Egypt, where he becomes the second-in-command to Pharaoh. Protected by Joseph's exalted status, the family lives safely for several generations and proliferate greatly, becoming a great nation. The size of this growing population frightens the new Pharaoh, who enslaves the Israelites, lest they make war on Egypt. Even under slave conditions, the Israelites continue to reproduce, and Pharaoh eventually decrees that all baby boys be killed. In the course of the seder, we dip the karpas in salt water in order to taste both the hope of new birth and the tears that the Israelite slaves shed over their condition.</b></p>\n\n<p><b><a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/haroset\">Haroset</a>:  This mix of fruits, wine or honey, and nuts symbolizes the mortar that the Israelite slaves used to construct buildings for Pharaoh. The name itself comes from the Hebrew word cheres or clay. Ashkenazi Jews generally include apples in haroset, a nod to the midrashic tradition that the Israelite women would go into the fields and seduce their husbands under the apple trees, in defiance of the Egyptian attempts to prevent reproduction by separating men and women.</b></p>\n\n<p><b><a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/maror\">Maror</a>:  This bitter herb allows us to taste the bitterness of slavery.  Like life in Egypt, these lettuces and roots taste sweet when one first bites into them, but then become bitter as one eats more. We dip maror into haroset in order to associate the bitterness of slavery with the work that caused so much of this bitterness.</b></p>\n\n<p><b><a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/shankbone\">Z'roa</a>:  A roasted lamb shank bone that symbolizes the lamb that Jews sacrificed as the special Passover offering when the <a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/im_looking_for/?k=206\">Temple</a> stood in <a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/hot_topics/ht/Jerusalem.shtml\">Jerusalem</a>. The z'roa serves as a visual reminder of the sacrifice that the Israelites offered immediately before leaving Egypt and that Jews continued to offer until the destruction of the Temple. <a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/blog/culture/vegetarian-on-passover/\">Vegetarians</a> often substitute a <a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Jewish_Holidays/Passover/The_Seder/Seder_Plate_and_Table/Vegetarian_Shankbone.shtml\">roasted beet</a>, both because the red of the beet resembles the blood of the sacrifice and because the Talmud mentions beets as one of the vegetables sometimes dipped during the seder.</b></p>\n\n<p><b><a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/egg\">Beitzah</a>:  A roasted egg that symbolizes the hagigah sacrifice, which would be offered on every holiday (including Passover) when the Temple stood. The roundness of the egg also represents the cycle of life--even in the most painful of times, there is always hope for a new beginning.</b></p>\n\n<p><b>Olive:  An olive on my Seder plate represents the oppression of Palestinians at the hands of the Israelie Government.  It reminds us to ask: “How will we, as Jews, bear witness to the unjust actions committed in our name? Will these olives inspire us to be bearers of peace and hope for Palestinians — and for all who are oppressed?”  (Forward, Put an Olive on the Seder Plate)</b></p>\n\n<p><b>Orange:  The orange reminds us of the presence of LGBTQ folks in our community, and the oppression they and all of us face within the strict gender and sexuality roles enforced in the name of our tradition.    </b></p>\n\n<p><b>Tomato:  The tomato is a symbol of modern-day slavery, representing the migrant workers who suffer abuse at the hands of a consumer market that demands fruits and vegetables without regard for how the pickers are treated.  </b></p>\n\n<p><b>Lock and Key:  We place the lock and key on our seder plate tonight to ally ourselves with those who are behind bars, with those who are labelled as felons in the community, and with the parents, children, and other family members of those who are locked up and locked out. The key represents our commitment, as Jews who know a history of oppression, to join the movement to end mass incarceration in the United States. The key reminds us of our potential to partner with the Source of Liberation to unlock a more promising, dignified future for us all.</b></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Ritualwell", "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": 286, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Emilia Diamant", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Once upon a time our people went into galut, exile, in the land of Egypt. During a famine our ancestor Jacob and his family fled to Egypt where food was plentiful. His son Joseph had risen to high position in Pharaoh’s court, and our people were well-respected and well-regarded, secure in the power structure of the time.</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>2. Generations passed and our people remained in Egypt. In time, a new Pharaoh ascended to the throne. He found our difference threatening, and ordered our people enslaved. In fear of rebellion, Pharaoh decreed that all Hebrew boy-children be killed. Two midwives named Shifrah and Puah defied his orders, claiming that “the Hebrew women are so hardy, they give birth before we arrive!” Through their courage, a boy survived; midrash tells us he was radiant with light. Fearing for his safety, his family placed him in a basket and he floated down the Nile. He was found, and adopted, by Pharaoh’s daughter, who named him Moshe because min ha-mayim m’shitihu, from the water she drew him forth. She hired his mother Yocheved as his wet-nurse. Thus he survived to adulthood, and was raised as Prince of Egypt.</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>3. Although a child of privilege, as he grew he became aware of the slaves who worked in the brickyards of his father. When he saw an overseer mistreat a slave, he struck the overseer and killed him. Fearing retribution, he set out across the Sinai alone. God spoke to him from a burning bush, which though it flamed was not consumed. The Voice called him to lead the Hebrew people to freedom. Moses argued with God, pleading inadequacy, but God disagreed. Sometimes our responsibilities choose us.</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>4. Moses returned to Egypt and went to Pharaoh to argue the injustice of slavery. He gave Pharaoh a mandate which resounds through history: Let my people go. </b></p>\n\n<p><b>Pharaoh refused, and Moses warned him that Mighty God would strike the Egyptian people. These threats were not idle: ten terrible plagues were unleashed upon the Egyptians. Only when his nation lay in ruins did Pharaoh agree to our liberation.</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>5. Fearful that Pharaoh would change his mind, our people fled, not waiting for their bread dough to rise. (For this reason we eat unleavened bread as we take part in their journey.)</b></p>\n\n<p><b>Our people did not leave Egypt alone; a “mixed multitude” went with them. From this we learn that liberation is not for us alone, but for all the nations of the earth. Even Pharaoh’s daughter came with us, and traded her old title (bat-Pharaoh, daughter of Pharaoh) for the name Batya, “daughter of God.”</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>6. Pharaoh’s army followed us to the Sea of Reeds. We plunged into the waters. Only when we had gone as far as we could did the waters part for us. We mourn, even now, that Pharaoh’s army drowned: our liberation is bittersweet because people died in our pursuit.</b></p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>7.

We want to think it and we are perfect, but the loaf is an illusion, a compromise with the shattering of light. Yet maybe it’s in slow breaking that wholeness happens. The bud of the apple tree fragments into beauty and the stem of the iris tears its way through the soil. The heart breaks as it grows. You could call that wholeness: the movement of life toward a fuller version of itself, the egg releasing its core into the world, the tree lurching its way toward branches. It’s the splitting of the sea that lets us out of Egypt: severed from the old self we thought invincible, we run toward a future that shatters the moment we enter it, becoming the multiple and unknown present.</p>\n\n<p>Bless the world that breaks to let you through it, Bless the gift of the grain that smashes its molecules to feed you over &amp; over. This Passover night, time is cracking open. Wholeness is not the egg; it’s the tap tap tap of the wet-winged baby bird trying to get out. Break the bread at the feast of liberation. Go ahead. Do it. The whole is already broken, and so are you, and freedom has to have its jagged edges.

There is a better place, a promised land, and next year we hope to hold our seder there. We say these same words each year because we are always on a path to liberation. We can make liberation real by embarking on this journey together. To study the Passover story is to understand that our Exodus from Egypt was possible when the false ideologies that enabled the enslavement of Israelites—that some people are greater than others, that some people are a threat—were torn down, step by step. Every day we witness our country grappling with revealing questions of identity and democracy—who belongs, who can be safe, who can thrive. Since its founding, the false ideologies of white supremacy—that some people are greater than others, that some people are a threat—have been core to our country’s economy, governance, and culture. Are we ready to dismantle these ideologies, step by step? Liberation is a constant journey, but it’s not without a destination. Liberation—ours and yours—lies ahead.

Just as the first plague of <strong>blood</strong> recalls violence and turmoil, we must take action to reform our criminal justice system so that it meets the highest ideals of society and overcomes the brokenness – the spilled blood – that began this cycle in the first place.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>Today, essential pathways to opportunity are blocked by a basic lack of shelter and affordable housing. Just as the plague of <strong>frogs</strong> transformed the Egyptians’ homes into unlivable conditions, the lack of affordable housing can transform lives into the most basic struggle. Until more affordable housing units are created, too many people in need will not be able to have a home of their own.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>Today’s health care system remains out of reach to so many, millions of Americans still do not have insurance. The plague of <strong>lice</strong> reminds us that affordable, quality healthcare is important to have when we are healthy, and especially when unforeseen circumstances arise. We must work to advocate for those who do not have access to health care to ensure that all Americans can receive the treatments that they need.<br />\n\t   </li>\n\t<li>Sadly the plague of gun violence in America is all too familiar; guns kill 32,000 Americans each year. Gun violence runs rampant in our communities, as did the <strong>wild animals</strong> in the fourth plague, but we have the power to end this scourge ourselves. We are commanded to take necessary measures to ensure the sanctity of human life and safety of our communities.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>Hungry kids are not a distant tragedy; they are in every community. Our tradition is explicit in commanding that we feed the hungry, and we must work to make that a reality. The plague of <strong>cattle disease</strong> reminds us how important it is to ensure that all people have the resources and support needed to live healthily.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>Malaria, spread through the single bite of a mosquito, keeps countries poor, costing the African continent approximately $12 billion a year in lost productivity and using up to 40 percent of all public health care resources. Just as malaria plagues us today, did <strong>boils </strong>plague the Egyptians when this sudden health crisis impaired their lives and livelihood.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>We must all take action to adapt to and to mitigate the effects of climate change, but we cannot lose sight of the fact that climate change most significantly impacts low income communities and people of color. The climate disruption of the plague of <strong>hail</strong> is a reminder that the onus is on each of us to take action to prevent climate disruption in communities where such events would have a devastating impact.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>Our tradition speaks strongly to valuing workers’ essential dignity as well as maintaining healthy families. Just as the <strong>locusts</strong> disrupted work and resources for the Egyptians, so does the lack of paid sick days disrupt the lives of families and workplaces across the United States. Without a national minimum standard, workers face agonizing choices between health and subsistence.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>Education is the key to opportunity and prosperity; and the fewer the educational resources, the more challenging for those students to advance in society. The plague of <strong>darkness</strong> reminds us to pursue a bright future for all our children through robust public education. We cannot keep some members of our community on the margins by denying them educational opportunities.<br />\n\t  </li>\n\t<li>There are many structural policy changes that we can make to ameliorate economic inequality. The drama and pain of the plague of the <strong>death of the firstborn</strong> does not remind of us of any one social justice issue, but it does remind us of the importance of taking action before crises become truly dire. Raising the minimum wage underscores the previous nine plagues by lifting millions of people out of poverty and taking them away from these plagues.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>We cannot let these injustices of inequality continue. On Passover, we commit to structural change so that these issues will no longer be plaguing millions at home and around the globe. As we celebrate our redemption from the land of Egypt, and of the plagues that played a role in that redemption, we cannot lose sight of the plagues that still exist today.</p>\n\n<p>If we can overcome these plagues, so many more people will be able to revel in the liberation and redemption that the Jewish people celebrates on Passover.</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "The Religious Action Center", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 116, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Ten Plagues of Inequality | Passover haggadah by Emilia Diamant", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
