We will give thanks to God for our freedom, our safety and for the food, water and wine we have to eat and drink. Not everyone believes in God, or thinks of God in the same way. \"God\" can mean many things to many people. Some people think of God as an omnipresent and omnipotent being, some think of God as the collective forces of nature or the Universe, some think of God as a metaphor for human kindness and benevolent actions. This Seder is for everyone, regardless of their beliefs, and as we read and listen, everyone at the table with us should feel free to adapt the words to their own understanding. It is not important that we all think of God the same way, only that we all give thanks for the goodness that we give and receive in our own lives.</p>\n\n<p>We will also speak in the first person. We will talk about the time that <em>we</em> were slaves in Egypt. We will talk about the ways that <em>we</em> still suffer oppression today. Why do we speak this way, when we at this table have never experienced slavery ourselves, when we benefit from so much privilege relative to others living today? At Passover, we celebrate the joy and relief of finding freedom, and we remind ourselves that the path to freedom and equality is not a straight line. Breaking the bonds of oppression is not something that is done once and finished, it is something that we must all do, all the time. Freedom is fragile, and it us up to us to find it, every year. We remind ourselves, also, that as long as any person is not free, none of us are free. It is not enough to fight for our own freedom, we must fight for freedom for everyone. At Passover, we speak to our solidarity with everyone who is not free today. We commit ourselves to working for freedom for all people, in all ways, at home and around the world.</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": 235, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Language of Our Haggadah | Passover haggadah by Benjamin Tevelow", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Anyone who likes can ask:</p>\n\n<p><strong>1) On all other nights we may eat leavened bread or matzah. Why on this night do we eat only matzah?</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>2) On all other nights we eat all kinds of vegetables. Why on this night do we eat bitter herbs?</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>3) On all other nights we do not dip our food even once. Why on this night do we dip twice?</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>4) On all other nights we may either sit or recline. Why on this night are we expected to recline?</strong></p>\n\n<p>-------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p>So why <em>is</em> this night different from all other nights? On this night we are celebrating the most important time in Jewish history, when we went forth from slavery to freedom. We'll start retelling that story after we answer the four questions:</p>\n\n<p>1. <strong>Why do we eat matzah?</strong> When our ancestors left Egypt, they did so in a hurry. They had no time for the bread to rise, so they took the unleavened bread with them. We remember that while we have enough to eat today, there were times when we went hungry, and there are many who are still hungry today.</p>\n\n<p>2. <strong>Why do we eat the bitter herbs?</strong> We eat them to remember the bitterness of living in slavery in Egypt, and to remind ourselves of the bitterness of oppression felt today.</p>\n\n<p>3. <strong>Why do we dip our herbs twice?</strong> We dip the karpas into salt water, to remind ourselves of the tears we shed when we were slaves and to share in the tears shed by those who are still not free. We dip the matzah into the charoset as a reminder that bitterness and the salty tears of oppression can give way to the sweetness of freedom.</p>\n\n<p>4. <strong>Why do we recline at the table? </strong>We recline as a symbol of our freedom. Those who are not free are never comfortable. We celebrate our freedom to be comfortable, and commit ourselves to making sure everyone can live comfortably.</p>", "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 Questions", "slug": "four-questions" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 227, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Four Questions | Passover haggadah by Benjamin Tevelow", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
