As Jews we believe that to defend a country you need an army, but to defend a civilization you need education. Freedom is lost when it </span><span> is taken for granted. Unless parents hand on their memories and ideals to the next generation – the story of how they won their freedom and the battles they had to fight along the way – the long journey falters and we lose our way.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>What is fascinating, though, is the way the Torah emphasizes the fact that children must ask questions..</span><span>.</span><span>There is nothing natural about this at all. To the contrary, it goes dramatically against the grain of history. Most traditional cultures see it as the task of a parent or teacher to instruct, guide or command. The task of the child is to obey. “Children should be seen, not heard,” goes the old English proverb. “Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord,” says a famous Christian text. Socrates, who spent his life teaching people to ask questions, was condemned by the citizens of Athens for corrupting the young. In Judaism the opposite is the case. It is a religious duty to teach our children to ask questions. That is how they grow. </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>Judaism is the rarest of phenomena: a faith based on asking questions, sometimes deep and difficult ones that seem to shake the very foundations of faith itself. “Shall the Judge of all the earth not do justice?” asked Abraham. “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people?” asked Moses. “Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?” asked Jeremiah. The book of Job is largely constructed out of questions, and God’s answer consists of four chapters of yet deeper questions: “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? ... Can you catch Leviathan with a hook? ... Will it make an agreement with you and let you take it as your slave for life?” </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>W</span><span>e believe that intelligence is God’s greatest gift to humanity. Rashi understands the phrase that God made man “in His image, after His likeness,” to mean that God gave us the ability “to understand and discern.” The very first of our requests in the weekday Amidah is for “knowledge, understanding and discernment.” One of the most breathtakingly bold of the rabbis’ institutions was to coin a blessing to be said on seeing a great non-Jewish scholar. Not only did they see wisdom in cultures other than their own. They thanked God for it. How far this is from the narrow-mindedness than has so often demeaned and diminished religions, past and present. </span></p><p><span> </span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, \"The Necessity of Asking Questions\", Covenant & Conversation 5772: Parashat Bo", "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": 199, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Necessity of Asking Questions | Passover haggadah by Matt Cohen", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Though many traditionalist Jews would shy away from adding something to the seder plate, others feel that such new customs reinforce the underlying themes of Passover--freedom and liberation--and bring a contemporary focus to the seder. Reprinted with permission from www.ritualwell.org/</p><p>In the early 1980s, while speaking at Oberlin College Hillel [the campus Jewish organization], Susannah Heschel, a well-known Jewish feminist scholar, was introduced to an early feminist Haggadah that suggested adding a crust of bread on the seder plate, as a sign of solidarity with Jewish lesbians (which was intended to convey the idea that there's as much room for a lesbian in Judaism as there is for a crust of bread on the seder plate).</p><p>Heschel felt that to put bread on the seder plate would be to accept that Jewish lesbians and gay men violate Judaism like <em>hametz</em> [leavened food] violates Passover. So at her next seder, she chose an orange as a symbol of inclusion of gays and lesbians and others who are marginalized within the Jewish community. She offered the orange as a symbol of the fruitfulness for all Jews when lesbians and gay men are contributing and active members of Jewish life.</p><p>In addition, each orange segment had a few seeds that had to be spit out--a gesture of spitting out, repudiating the homophobia of Judaism. While lecturing, Heschel often mentioned her custom as one of many feminist rituals that have been developed in the last 20 years. She writes, \"Somehow, though, the typical patriarchal maneuver occurred: My idea of an orange and my intention of affirming lesbians and gay men were transformed. Now the story circulates that a man said to me that a woman belongs on the <em>bimah</em> [podium of a synagogue] as an orange on the seder plate. A woman's words are attributed to a man, and the affirmation of lesbians and gay men is erased. Isn't that precisely what's happened over the centuries to women's ideas?\"</p><p><em>Tamara Cohen is a Jewish feminist writer and educator currently living with her partner is Gainesville, Florida.

It is when God’s promise to Abraham to turn his...", "user_image": "", "user_image_original": "", "body": "<p>By DONNIEL HARTMAN </p><p>Pesach is the Independence Day of the Jewish people. It is when God’s promise to Abraham to turn his descendants into a great nation comes to fruition. Two central ideas characterize or have come to characterize this day, ideas which have and must continue to define the essence of our national identity.</p><p>The first is that this identity precedes our religious faith: Pesach precedes Shavuot. In a Jewish world where all too often one’s particular denomination or religious practice serves as a wall between oneself and fellow Jews, where the central question is often in whose house one does not eat, or in which synagogue one does not pray, the ethos of Pesach calls out and reminds one that Jewish peoplehood comes first. While Judaism does not stop with peoplehood and Sinai is a defining moment shaping the values and content of our national identity, the place of Pesach in our calendar, I believe, gives it primacy. By this I mean that our Jewish values and practices must not only shape our collective identity but must be shaped by them.</p><p>Religion by its nature creates a God intoxication in which we strive to walk in the way of God, regardless of the consequences to ourselves and to others. The “heroic figure” of Abraham in Genesis 22 models such a religious pathos.</p><p>Pesach, I believe, requires of us a peoplehood intoxication, a commitment not only to loyalty and love of the Jewish people but also to filter our individual religious commitments through the prism of what will serve our people as a whole. In the Ethics of our Fathers, according to Rabbi Nathan, Chapter 2, we are taught that Moses broke the Tablets of the Ten Commandments without Divine approval, because he was fearful that giving the Torah to the Jewish people at that time would condemn them as idolatrous sinners and consequently warrant their destruction.</p><p>Declarations of Jewish unity will not suffice. Like Moses we have to ask ourselves: Which part of Torah we are willing to relinquish for the sake of the Jewish people, which truth or personal commitment, while dear to us, is too dear, and causes hurt and alienation? When doing so it is not a religious compromise but rather a religious value, a fulfillment of the dictates of our tradition which celebrates Pesach first and makes it the foundation of Sinai and not the opposite.</p><p>The second is the idea of redemption, our movement from slavery to freedom, from subjugation to liberty. It is not the particular redemption from Egypt per se which we continue to celebrate for close to 3,000 years, but the eternal idea of redemption. At the foundation of Jewish identity is the belief that history changes and that one’s destiny can be overturned. Pessimism is the chametz that Pesach seeks to expunge from our souls. We end the Seder with the words, “Next year in Jerusalem,” words that symbolized for nearly 2,000 years the Jewish people’s commitment to avoid despair and to define their lives through their aspirations.</p><p>Through the lens of Pesach we learn on the one hand to say, “dayenu,” to see the positive even in what is seemingly blight, but we also learn to add many lines to the song, to go from dayenu to dayenu until we are not only free but also until all of our aspirations are fulfilled. While we are now a free people we need to continuously add new lines to the song, “Dayenu.” We still need to aspire for more, to be more.</p><p>As we celebrate Pesach this year and sit around the Seder a worthy question to ask is: How can we make this year different from all other years? How can we ensure that Judaism is transformed from a wall which divides us into a bridge that unites us? How can we embed hope and aspiration into the DNA of our national consciousness?</p><p>As we celebrate our coming into being as a people, may our religious commitments be a catalyst for kindness, and may our people be a new force for hope.

Although the flames have long been extinguished, the embers still smolder. For Pharoahs come and Pharoahs go: the Sennacheribs, the Belshazzars, the Hamans.

Their murderers will never be forgiven.</p>\n\n<p>Trapped in ghettos, caged in death camps, abandoned by an unseeing or uncaring world, Jews gave their lives in acts that sanctified God's name and the name of His people Israel. Some rebelled against their tormentors, fighting with makeshift weapons, gathering the last remnants of their failing strength in peerless gestures of courage and defiance. Others went to their death with their faith in God miraculously unimpaired.</p>\n\n<p>Unchecked, unchallenged, evil ran rampant and devoured the holy innocents.

This invitation was uttered by Seder celebrants in the Vila Ghetto in 1942...and we repeat it tonight. For on this night all Jews are united in history and in hope. We were all in Mitzrayim. We were all at Sinai. We were all in the hell that was the Holocaust.

Cosgrove’s sermon for <em>Parashat Mishpatim/Shabbat Shekalim</em>  </p><p>February 9, 2013</p><p>Micah, affectionately referred to as Abba Micah, oversaw the modern day exodus in 1991 of over 14,000 Jews in Operation Solomon. Micah shared story after story with us. The fall of the government, the approaching rebels, the secret money transfers, the life-saving work of the Mossad, the overflowing C-130s taking off and landing, one of them actually landing with one more passenger than when it took off – a baby born in flight. Micah described the complex process by which they would identify and keep track of the thousands of would-be new <em>olim</em>, each one given a plastic ID card. My favorite story from Micah described the momentous scene as the final Israel-bound plane of Ethiopian Jews took off. Micah told of the hugs and cheers of relief shared among the IDF soldiers and Mossad Agents as they began to board the final staff plane home. At exactly that moment two taxis screeched onto the tarmac, carrying multiple generations of a single family. They explained that for whatever reason they had missed the other planes but were desperate to leave. Micah examined their plastic cards only to discover that not all of them were complete or correct. Do they come or do they not? Does one split up the family? How do you choose? The plane was leaving and the tumult was growing. The IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak approached Micah to find out what was the cause of the delay and commotion. Micah explained that these latecomers didn’t have the proper plastic ID cards. To which General Shahak barked out, “Plastic, shmastic – get them on the plane.”</p><p>The story of Ethiopian Jewry is one of the great dramas of our people’s history. It is a complex narrative that doesn’t tie up neatly in a bow and that leaves us with many questions. And the story is still going on. It will have a happy ending if and only if Ethiopian Jewry successfully integrates into Israel in the years to come. But even with these questions, concerns and maybe even some cynicism, it really all boils down to two words, two critical words: “plastic shmastic.” When Jewish lives are at stake, we dare not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.</p><p>What an incredible honor it is to live in a time when one Jew can participate in securing the safety, security and wellbeing of another. In times of crisis, in times of joy, again and again the Jewish people have proven that the whole is greater than the sum of our parts.</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Excerpted from Rabbi Elliot J.
