The 15-stanza poem thanks G-d for 15 blessings bestowed upon the Jews in the Exodus. Had G-d only parted the seas for us, “It would have been enough” we say for each miracle or divine act, thus humbly appreciating the immensity of the gifts. KB Frazier’s reworking of the poem addresses us, rather than G-d. It calls us to greater action for justice, saying “lo dayenu” (it would not have been enough) in recognition of the work still unfinished.</em> </p>\n\n<p>1. If we had sparked a human rights revolution that would unite people all over the world and not followed our present day Nachshons (leaders) as they help us part the sea of colonialism, white supremacy, and institutional racism — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>2. If we had followed Nachshons like the youth leaders in Ferguson and not heeded the words they spoke from Black Liberation Leader Assata Shakur: <em> It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains</em> — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>3. If we had truly <em>sh’ma</em> (listened) to the stories, pain and triumphs of our brothers and sisters of color without feeling the need to correct, erase or discredit them and did not recognize the Pharaohs of this generation — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>4.If we had advocated for genocide recognition and reparations for Jews, Armenians, Rwandans, Cambodians, Romani, Sudanese, and all persecuted peoples — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>5. If we had protested police murders of unarmed black and brown individuals, even with legal retribution — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>6. If we had protested the IDF’s use of drones dropping tear gas and their firing live ammunition at protesters and forgotten that we are all <em>b'tselem elohim</em>, created in G-d’s image — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>7. If we were to stand on podiums announcing that Islam means peace, that our hands shake when we hear of violent far off attacks signed with names that are similar to ours — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>8. If we were to voice stories of women who were fired from their jobs, ignored on subways, pushed in lines, asked to leave in restaurants — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>9. If we were asked to translate our names, our lives, the constant misunderstanding and the constant tired need to defend our right to exist, breathe, walk the same space and not be seen as unwanted, dangerous, a risk, another — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>10. If we had marched, chanted, listened, learned and engaged in this new civil rights movement and not realized that this story is our story, including our people and requiring our full participation — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p>11. If we had concluded that our work is not done, that the story is still being written, that now is still the moment to be involved and that we haven’t yet brought our gifts and talents to a global human rights revolution — Lo Dayenu</p>\n\n<p> <em>We must work together to progress from Lo Dayenu to Dayenu in the coming years.

They celebrated the overthrow of tyrants by gathering a million strong, bringing barley-bread and newborn lambs to the Temple in Jerusalem.</p>\n\n<p>About two thousand years ago, the Jewish people reshaped that celebration into a Seder, a story and meal that could be eaten and told at home. The Passover story and celebration entered the memory stream of Christianity as well, through the Palm Sunday demonstrations of a group of Jews who came to ancient Jerusalem one spring, part of the general Jewish ferment against the Roman Empire. This particular group was led by Jesus, waving palm branches as a symbol of resistance. It entered Christianity more deeply still through the teachings of Jesus in the Last Supper, which seems to have been a Passover Seder.</p>\n\n<p>Still later, Islam welcomed Moses as a prophet, as it is written:</p>\n\n<p> <em>“In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful... We narrate to you from the history of Moses and Pharaoh in all verity, for those who believe. The Pharaoh became high and mighty in the land, and divided the people into different classes. He impoverished one class, slaying its males and sparing its women, for he was indeed a tyrant. We [God] wished him to favor those who were weak in the land and make them leaders and heirs and establish them in the country.”</em> </p>\n\n<p>(Al-Quran, 28: 1-6; Ahmed Ali translation)</p>\n\n<p>In modern times, the experience of slavery for African-Americans and their hope of liberation were crystallized into dozens of songs and thousands of sermons about the Exodus of ancient Israelites from slavery.</p>\n\n<p>In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King was planning to take part in a Passover Seder with the family of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who marched and prayed and struggled alongside him against racism and militarism in America. But ten days before the Seder, Dr. King was murdered, called across a different river to a different Land of Promise. That day was 50 years ago today on April 4, 1968.</p>\n\n<p>His death called forth a Black uprising in many American cities, followed by the U.S. Army’s armed occupation of many inner-city communities, including my neighborhood in Washington DC.</p>\n\n<p>Walking past the troops as I prepared for that Passover 50 years ago, I was overwhelmed to find myself feeling and thinking, “This is Pharaoh’s Army!”</p>\n\n<p>That experience renewed and transformed my own understanding of the Seder. I felt myself called to write a Freedom Seder that would celebrate the freedom struggles of Black America and of other peoples alongside the Jewish tale of liberation.</p>\n\n<p>Now it is we who renew the Seder, rebirthing the Telling of freedom itself as the Telling rebirths us.</p>\n\n<p>Forty nine years after the first Freedom Seder, the profound questions Dr. King raised in his Riverside Church speech exactly one year before his death—militarism, racism, materialism as the triplets of danger corrupting American society—have risen before us again, as he warned they might. The link between constant warfare abroad and constant shortfalls in meeting human needs at home has become even clearer. Even larger numbers of people have lost their jobs and stand on the edge of the pit of poverty.</p>\n\n<p>Forty nine years after the first Freedom Seder, new Pharaohs have arisen. The institutional Pharaohs of our day are pressing down not just one people, one community, or another, but all the peoples on our planet and the web of life itself. In this Freedom Seder, we address Dr. Martin Luther King’s warning about “the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism,” which have threatened the very earth that sustains us all. For the Passover story reminds us: not only do new Pharaohs arise in every generation; so also do new grass-roots movement to free ourselves from these new pharaohs.</p>\n\n<p>Today as well, we face Plagues that trouble the earth and all humanity. Who and what are the institutional pharaohs in our time? What are the destructive Plagues of our own generation? What can we do to bring Ten Blessings, Ten Healings, on the earth in our own lifetimes? It is time for a new birth of freedom, time for a new freedom seder.</p>\n\n<p>—Rabbi Arthur Waskow, Director</p>\n\n<p>—Arlene Goldbard, Chair of the Board</p>\n\n\n\n<p><img src=\"https://www.haggadot.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/MLK-FreedomSeder_1.png?itok=K3ihQk4B\" alt=\"MLK-FreedomSeder_1.png?itok=K3ihQk4B\" /></p>\n\n\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "The Shalom Center’s Freedom Seder for the Earth", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/163069/MLK-FreedomSeder_1.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/163069/conversions/MLK-FreedomSeder_1-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 251, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Introduction | Passover haggadah by Jessica Jacobs", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

In ancient times only free people had the luxury of reclining while eating. We ask that this year you consider what it means to recline when so many are not yet free from oppression. This is not a simple question, and so there is no simple answer. In solidarity, you may choose not to recline. Or perhaps we can rest tonight in order to let go of the weight of our fears — our fear of others; of being visible as Jews; of committing to work outside of what is familiar and comfortable — so that we may lean into struggle tomorrow.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight we open ourselves up as a community with our minds stayed on freedom. Torah tells us that the first promise of God to our ancestors was to be taken out of the narrow place that had defined our generations. In this promise we are gifted with the hope of not only escape but of new life in the open. For many this gift is met with skepticism - for what we all we know is our bondage and our limits. We invite you tonight to join us in stepping out of the narrowness of skepticism, and into the openness of hope.</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>“If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You never learn anything new. You become a crotchety old person convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to support you.) But every now and then, maybe once in a hundred cases, a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful. If you are too much in the habit of being skeptical about everything, you are going to miss or resent it, and either way you will be standing in the way of understanding and progress.” - Carl Sagan</p>\n\n<p><strong>בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן</strong></p>\n\n<p>Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.</p>\n\n<p>We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruit of the vine.</p>\n\n<p><strong>בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לַזְּמַן הַזֶּה</strong></p>\n\n<p>Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, she-hechiyanu v’key’manu v’higiyanu lazman hazeh.</p>\n\n<p>We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who has kept us alive, raised us up, and brought us to this happy moment.</p>\n\n<p>As we sip this first cup of wine we reflect not only on the promise of being taken out of narrow places but on the hope, opportunity, and responsibility of being and building in wide spaces.

And so, we dip our vegetables into salt water to recall the ominous waters that threatened to drown our Israelite ancestors as they fled persecution in Egypt, as well as the tears they shed on that harrowing journey to freedom.

We live in a very different world, but Passover is a good time to remember that, even after our liberation from slavery in Egypt, there are still many challenges for us to meet. Here are ten “modern plagues”:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Inequity - </strong>Access to affordable housing, quality healthcare, nutritious food, good schools, and higher education is far from equal. The disparity between rich and poor is growing, and opportunities for upward mobility are limited.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Entitlement - </strong>Too many people consider themselves entitled to material comfort, economic security, and other privileges of middle-class life without hard work.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Fear - </strong>Fear of “the other” produces and reinforces xenophobia, racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, antisemitism, homophobia, and transphobia.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Greed - </strong>Profits are a higher priority than the safety of workers or the health of the environment. The top one percent of the American population controls 42% of the country’s financial wealth, while corporations send jobs off-shore and American workers’ right to organize and bargain collectively is threatened.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Distraction - </strong>In this age of constant connectedness, we are easily distracted by an unending barrage of information, much of it meaningless, with no way to discern what is important.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Distortion of reality - </strong>The media constructs and society accepts unrealistic expectations, leading to eating disorders and an unhealthy obsession with appearance for both men and women.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Unawareness - </strong>It is easy to be unaware of the consequences our consumer choices have for the environment and for workers at home and abroad. Do we know where or how our clothes are made? Where or how our food is produced? The working conditions? The impact on the environment?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Discrimination - </strong>While we celebrate our liberation from bondage in Egypt, too many people still suffer from discrimination. For example, blacks in the United States are imprisoned at more than five times the rate of whites, and Hispanics are locked up at nearly double the white rate. Women earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man. At 61 cents to the dollar, the disparity is even more shocking in Jewish communal organizations.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Silence - </strong>Every year, 4.8 million cases of domestic violence against American women are reported. We do not talk about things that are disturbing, such as rape, sex trafficking, child abuse, domestic violence, and elder abuse, even though they happen every day in our own communities.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Feeling overwhelmed and disempowered - </strong>When faced with these modern “plagues,” how often do we doubt or question our own ability to make a difference? How often do we feel paralyzed because we do not know what to do to bring about change?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Have you experienced any of these plagues? Are there any you would add to the list?</strong></p>\n\n<p>____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Jewish Women's Archive", "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": 217, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Ten Modern Plagues | Passover haggadah by Jessica Jacobs", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
