Each...", "user_image": "", "user_image_original": "", "body": "<p><strong>The Seder Plate</strong></p>\n\n<p>We place a Seder Plate at our table as a reminder to discuss certain aspects of the Passover story. Each item has its own significance.</p>\n\n<p><em>Maror</em> – The bitter herb. This symbolizes the harshness of lives of the Jews in Egypt.</p>\n\n<p><em>Charoset</em> – A mix of sweet wine, apples, cinnamon and nuts that resembles the mortar used as bricks of the many buildings the Jewish slaves built in Egypt.</p>\n\n<p><em>Karpas</em> – A green vegetable, here, parsley, is a reminder of the green sprouting up all around us during spring and is used to dip into the saltwater.</p>\n\n<p><em>Zeroah </em>– Usually a roasted lamb or shank bone symbolizing the sacrifice made at the great temple on Passover, but here, grapes, olives, and barley. The olives and grapes commemorate the commandment to leave the second shaking of olive trees and grapevines to the poor, meaning that we should always give what we can. And the barley commemorates the commandment not to muzzle to ox when it goes into the corn fields. This reminds us that we should not interfere with the lives of animals when we do not need to, and that they, too, have rights and dignity.</p>\n\n<p><em>Beitzah</em> – The egg symbolizes a different holiday offering that was brought to the temple. Since eggs are the first item offered to a mourner after a funeral, some say it also evokes a sense of mourning for the destruction of the temple.</p>\n\n<p><em>Orange</em> - The orange on the seder plate symbolizes full inclusion in modern day Judaism: not only for women, but also for people with disabilities, inter-religious couples, and the LGBT Community.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Matzah</strong></p>\n\n<p>Matzah is the unleavened bread we eat to remember that when the jews fled Egypt, they didn’t even have time to let the dough rise on their bread. We commemorate this by removing all bread and bread products from our home during Passover.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Elijah’s Cup</strong></p>\n\n<p>The fifth ceremonial cup of wine poured during the Seder. It is left untouched in honor of Elijah, who, according to tradition, will arrive one day as an unknown guest to herald the advent of the Messiah. During the Seder dinner, biblical verses are read while the door is briefly opened to welcome Elijah. In this way the Seder dinner not only commemorates the historical redemption from Egyptian bondage of the Jewish people but also calls to mind their future redemption when Elijah and the Messiah shall appear.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Miriam’s Cup</strong></p>\n\n<p>Another relatively new Passover tradition is that of Miriam’s cup. The cup is filled with water and placed next to Elijah’s cup. Miriam was the sister of Moses and a prophetess in her own right. After the exodus when the Israelites are wandering through the desert, just as Hashem gave them Manna to eat, legend says that a well of water followed Miriam and it was called ‘Miriam’s Well’. The tradition of Miriam’s cup is meant to honor Miriam’s role in the story of the Jewish people and the spirit of all women, who nurture their families just as Miriam helped sustain the Israelites.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Geoff Chasman", "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": 231, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Introduction (vegetarian edit) | Passover haggadah by E.J.

Therefore, Elijah's cup is a symbol of future messianic redemption, while Miriam's cup is a symbol of hope and renewal in the present life. We must achieve balance in our own lives, not only preparing our souls for redemption, but rejuvenating our souls in the present. Thus, we need both Elijah's cup and Miriam's cup at our Seder table.</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": "Bareich", "slug": "bareich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 206, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Miriam's Cup | Passover haggadah by E.J.

One drink from its waters was said to alert the heart, mind and soul, and make the meaning of Torah become alive.</p>\n\n<p>As we prepare to wash our hands, we must remember that...many in the United States and around the world do not have access to clean water. Clean water is not a privilege; it is a basic human right. One in ten people currently lack access to clean water. That’s nearly 1 billion people in the world without clean, safe drinking water. Almost 3.5 million people die every year because of inadequate water supply.</p>\n\n<p>In Hebrew, urchatz means “washing” or “cleansing.” In Aramaic, sister language to Hebrew, urchatz means “trusting.” As we wash each others’ hands, let us rejoice in this act of trust, while remembering the lack of trust between those in Flint, California and Cochabamba and those who supply and control their access to mayim chayim - living waters.</p>\n\n<p>Pass the bowl &amp; pitcher around the table, pouring a few drops of water onto your neighbor’s hands.

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. There is Yocheved, Moses’ mother, and Shifra and Puah, the famous midwives. Each defies Pharaoh’s decree to kill the Israelite baby boys. There is, of course, Miriam. And finally, there is Pharaoh’s daughter Batya, who defies her own father and plucks baby Moses out of the Nile.</p>\n\n<p>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. 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?” 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. 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 all over. 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": "", "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": 186, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "RBG AJWS | Passover haggadah by E.J.

He will destroy all the males, but you will destroy all the females and males. The decree of the wicked Pharaoh may or may not be fulfilled, but your decree will for sure be realized.\" Miriam's father heeded his daughter. So we follow in her steps with drums and dancing, spreading her prophecy among the nations.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Tamar, the rebellious daughter</strong></p>\n\n<p>Tamar was accused of adultery. She had been married to two of Judah's sons who died without producing offspring, so Judah was obligated to give her his third son in marriage so she could give life to her heirless husbands. But Judah refused, so Tamar dressed as a prostitute. Judah solicited her and without realizing it made his daughter-in-law pregnant, thus guaranteeing the tribe's survival. However, Judah sought to have Tamar burned as a prostitute. \"Father-in-law,\" said Tamar, \"recognize\" the tyranny of man's rule over women and the hypocrisy of double standards. She rebelled against authority and Judah admitted: \"She is more righteous than I.\" (Genesis 38:26). So we can enjoy no freedom until we have challenged unjust ways.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ruth, the simple and pure daughter</strong></p>\n\n<p>\"Naomi, my mother-in-law:  <em>Wherever you go, I shall go, and wherever you rest your head, there I will rest mine. Your people are mine, and your God my God.</em> \" (Ruth 1:16). So we must demonstrate simple and ingenuous loyalty.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The Beautiful Captive, the daughter who cannot ask</strong></p>\n\n<p>The Torah permits a soldier conquering an enemy to take a woman captive as a wife but only after she has been allowed to mourn the loss of her mother and father. Only her silent weeping is heard, as it says, \"and she wept for her father and mother\" (Deut. 21:13). So we will be her mouthpiece and she will be our judge. So we will return her to her mother's house and we will \"proclaim liberty in the land for all its [enslaved] inhabitants.\" (Lev. 25:10). The silent weeping that erupts from this dark reality is a call to action for the cause of freedom and liberty of every man and woman born in the image of God.</p>\n\n<p> <em>(Rabbi Einat Ramon, Shechter Rabbinical Semintary, Israel)</em> </p>\n\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 51, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Four Biblical Daughters | Passover haggadah by E.J.
