It is a time for joy and relaxation, a time to lie on pillows and drink wine. A time to ponder our history, and find its relevance in our lives today. And it is a time to renew our courage in order to transform our planet into a place of peace and justice. Tonight, we will read the story of Passover, drink our four cups of wine, sing the songs of freedom and justice... and we will try to do so with a joy that honors our history. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once said that freedom is when you dare to leave your old ways behind… when you are not enslaved by your own small needs, and instead surrender to the greater needs of the time. Perhaps he spoke of a good greater than the engagement of small children, but we take the sentiment as justification all the same. The word SEDER means “order” and tonight, the order remains, rooted in the values of justice and activism that are never lost at this table. The first words in the story of the creation of the universe were “let there be light.” We begin our seder as we begin every Jewish holiday celebration with the lighting of the holiday candles. It is the fundamental aspects of hope and faith in Judaism, as well as the obligation of our people, to make the light of justice and knowledge penetrate the darkness of our time.</p>\n\n<p>Please join us in bringing in Passover with the lighting of the candles:</p>\n\n<p>בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר שֶׁל [שַׁבָּת וְשֶׁל] יוֹם טוֹב</p>\n\n<p>Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav, v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel Yom Tov.</p>\n\n<p>Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the Universe, who has sanctified us with laws and commanded us to light the festival lights.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "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": 259, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Introduction | Passover haggadah by Hillel at the University of Rochester", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Suddenly, you look behind you and you see the Egyptian army quickly approaching you. The Israelites pled to Moses and Moses spoke to God. God told Moses, raise your staff over the water and I will split the seas. So Moses did, and nothing happened.\n\n<p>Suddenly a man named Nachshon started walking into the water.  The water was up to his knees…no splitting. The water rose up to his waste…no splitting. The water was up to his chest…still no splitting. Not until the water was under Nachshon’s nose did the sea split and all the Israelites walked across singing Micah Mocha and praising G-d.</p>\n\n<p>A lot of people interpret that the miracles of this story were the result of G-d being a show off and trying to demonstrate his powers. I take it another way, I say that G-d just needed people to believe in him and then he came through.  The message of this story is that we need to take action before God helps us. We need to take the first step into the “sea” because G-d won’t help us until we try to help ourselves, our world, and our community.</p>\n\n<p>However, some commentators suggest that maybe Nachshon was pushed into the sea and didn’t necessarily intend on becoming a leader. He was just some random guy who was at the right place at the right time. In this scenario, Nachshon becomes a hero for something he wasn’t even intending on doing. I personally like the idea of Nachshon being a leader and coming out of the crowd, standing along the banks, and deciding to step into the water without anyone else having anything to do with it.</p>\n\n<p>In real life, we have a little of both. We are often put into the position of the Nachshon who was <em>pushed</em>, and into the shoes of the Nachshon that <em>walked</em>. We often try to be the brave Nachshon that walks into the water, but we are really the Nachshon that was pushed. Regardless of what you believe, we can all realize that most often we are somewhere in the middle of being pushed and walking intentionally.     </p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 1, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 421, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Lesson of Nachshon | Passover haggadah by Hillel at the University of Rochester", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
