There, place a pair of shoes on the doorstep and read the words below.</em> </u></p>\n\n<p>Leader:</p>\n\n<p>Pesach is a time of inclusion.</p>\n\n<p>The heart of the Passover Seder tells the story of the Jewish people’s exodus from slavery in Egypt. During the retelling of this story, we say the words, “Arami oved avi.” This phrase is sometimes translated as “My father was a wandering Aramean” and other times as “An Aramean sought to destroy my father.” Somewhere between the two translations lies the essence of the Jewish experience. Throughout our history, violence and persecution have driven the Jewish people to wander in search of a safe place to call home. We are a refugee people.</p>\n\n<p>Soon we will recite the words “Arami oved avi” as we retell the story of our people’s exodus from Egypt. The Mishnah (Pesahim 10:5) teaches us that:</p>\n\n<p>בכל דור ודור חייב אדם לראות את עצמו כאילו הוא יצא ממצרים<br />\nIn every generation a person is obligated to see themselves as if they left Egypt</p>\n\n<p>The seder presents us with the obligation of identifying with the generation that left Egypt and internalizing that experience. We imagine being victimized because of who we are, of being enslaved, and of being freed.</p>\n\n<p>We place a pair of shoes on the doorstep of our home to acknowledge that none of us is free until all of us are free, and to pledge to stand in support of welcoming those who do not yet have a place to call home. We keep in mind the 65 million displaced people and refugees around the world today fleeing violence and persecution, searching for protection. Like our ancestors, today’s refugees experience displacement, uncertainty, lack of resources, and the complete disruption of their lives.</p>\n\n<p>Tonight, as we embrace the experience of our ancestors, we are reminded of the world’s refugees who still wander in search of safety and freedom.</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": 198, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Meaning of Passover | Passover haggadah by Emma Clark", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Each item has its own significance.</p>\n\n<p> <em>Maror</em> – The bitter herb. This symbolizes the harshness of  the lives of the Jews in Egypt.</p>\n\n<p> <em>Charoset</em> – A delicious 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, usually parsley, is a reminder of the green sprouting up all around us during spring and is used to dip into the saltwater. The saltwater represents the tears of the slaves of Egypt.</p>\n\n<p> <em>Zeroah</em> – A roasted lamb or shank bone. When the Jews fled Egypt, they sacrificed a lamb to thank God for leading them out of slavery. We aren’t big into animal sacrifices anymore, but this shank bone has been in our family since Betty Schwartz brought it home for her family’s Seder, and we treasure it as a way of connecting to previous Schwartz Seders.</p>\n\n<p> <em>Beitzah</em> – The egg. Eggs are often eaten during mourning because they symbolize the cycle of life, which can bring comfort in a time of sadness. Although there are many different interpretations for why the egg is included on the Seder plate, we eat the egg and mourn for the lives of the first-born Egyptian children who were taken by God in the Tenth plague. Freedom often comes at the expense of innocent lives, and so Passover is a time to celebrate but also a time to mourn.</p>\n\n<p><strong> <em>Matzah</em> </strong><strong> <em>- </em> </strong>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.  Traditionally,  households 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, is the harbinger of the Messiah. Elijah visits Jewish homes on Passover and is welcomed in by the children to share in the Seder.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Miriam’s Cup</strong></p>\n\n<p>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.</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": 185, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Emma Clark", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
