Ha Lachma / A Blessing for the Arab Spring

Rabbi Gilah Langner

Ha lachma anya / This poor bread

di achalu avhatana / that our ancestors ate

b’ar’a di Mitzrayim / in the land of Egypt

Is a symbol of both oppression and freedom --

from the Pharoahs of old

and the tyrants of today.

Let all who are hungry for freedom achieve a true and lasting liberation.

Let all who are in need be provided for.

This year, freedom is on the march.

Next year, may its blessings spread across the globe.

The Matzah of Peace

by Jeremy Borovitz

THE MATZAH OF HOPE and PEACE Neal Borovitz Avadim Hayinu: Not only were we slaves to the Pharaoh of Egypt, we have also been enslaved and persecuted by other Pharaohs. Among these Pharaohs of every age were the Kings of Babylonia, the Emperors of Greece and Rome, the Churchmen and Nobles of Medieval Spain, Hitler and his Nazi followers, the Pharaohs of Moscow, and the dictators, potentates and terrorists of the contemporary Arab world. The Babylonian exile was followed by a...

Ha Lachma Anya Tradition

by Melissa Simon

A blessing on your head...Mazel tov! Mazel tov! Our spin on the Moroccan Jewish tradition is to pass the remaining pieces of matzah around for everyone to both make and receive a blessing. Hold the matzah up over the person's head to your left and whisper a private blessing or wish for them. We will continue with our Seder while you each partake in this private moment. Wishes and blessings around themes of freedom are especially appropriate tonight but feel free...

Mark Twain's 1899 Harper's Article "Concerning The Jews"

by Melissa Simon

This article was written in 1899 when anti-Semitism was widespread in the United States. Large companies did not hire Jews, Universities either didn't admit Jews or limited their numbers with strict quotas. "Respectable" people like Ford and Edison expressed their anti-Jewish feelings openly. Mark Twain had an answer for them: Written by Mark Twain in Harper's, September 1899 If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust...

Welcome in our Departed

by Michael T. Martinez

Traditionally, a Seder is held only on the first two nights of Pesach. And on the last day of Pesach we observe a Yizkor day, a memorial day in which we light candles to remember those we have lost, and perhaps go to synagogue and participate in a Yizkor service. How much better to also have a Seder on the last night, and to welcome in the memories of those we have lost to celebrate a Passover Seder with them? On...

Grace

by Joi Brickman Garvin

Leader: Pour the third cup of wine GRACE (read responsively) A full grace... a graceful toast... to us to where we each come from to where we’re going and how we’re changing to being where we are and who we are to what we can share to what we can’t share -- yet to our joys and to our struggles which in full times we know are connected which in harder times isolate us to our efforts to our faith to...

by Gilah Langner

Here is an idea for linking our springtime Seder to the Arab Spring, in the hope that the miracle of Tahrir Square will achieve a lasting liberation and democracy for modern Egypt, and will help spread peace and freedom throughout the world. This variant on Ha Lachma Anya can be recited while lifting up the matzah. Rabbi Gilah Langner Ha lachma anya / This poor bread di achalu avhatana / that our ancestors ate b’ar’a di Mitzrayim / in the land...

Avadim Hayinu / In Praise of Unions

by Gilah Langner

All recite: We were slaves to Pharoah in the land of Egypt, and the Lord our God took us out of there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. And if the Holy One had not taken our ancestors out of Egypt, we and our children and our children’s children might never have known what was possible. Reader continues: When we arrived on these shores, many of us became factory workers in the garment industry. We were tailors and cutters,...

Four Questions on Slavery

by Gilah Langner

Four Questions on Slavery Our tradition speaks of four children or four attitudes: the wise child, the wicked child, the simple child, and the one who does not know how to ask. Each child has a different reaction to hearing about slavery. What does the wise child say? “What are the testimonies, the statutes, and the laws that apply to this situation? How we are to discern what God demands of us?” You are to answer this child: “God brought us...
