Our Passover Things

Our passover things

(Sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music)

Cleaning and cooking and so many dishes

Out with the hametz no pasta no knishes

Fish that's gefillted

Horseradish that stings

These are a few off our Passover things.

Chorus

Matzah and karpas and chopped up haroset

Shankbones and kiddish and Yiddish neuroses

Tante who kvetches and

Uncle who sings

These are a few off our Passover things.

Chorus

Matzi and marror and trouble with pharoahs

Famines and locusts and slaves with wheelbaarrows

Matzah balls floating and

Eggshell that clings

These are a few off our Passover things.

Chorus

When the plagues strike

When the lice bite

When we’re feeling sad

We simply remember our Passover things

And then we don’t feel so bad.

Hunger remains a painful physical reality for far too many of our friends, neighbors, and family members. Hunger is an oppressive force that holds individuals back from realizing their full...

The Plagues

by Rebecca Lowen

So Moses goes back to Egypt and he demands that Pharaoh free the Hebrews from bondage. But Pharaoh refuses! And so God sends a plague upon Egypt, turning all the rivers and streams to blood. All the fish die and the Egyptians can find no clean water to drink. Pharaoh, in desperation, agrees to free the slaves. But as soon as the waters become clear again, he changes his mind.And so God sends a second plague. Now hordes of frogs descend...

Maggid - Beginning

Maggid--Beginning

by Rebecca Lowen

Maggid means retelling the story of the exodus from Egypt.In every generation, we must see ourselves as if we personally were liberated from Egypt. We gather tonight to tell the ancient story of a people's liberation from Egyptian slavery. This is the story of our origins as a people. It is from these events that we gain our ethics, our vision of history, our dreams for the future. We gather tonight, as two hundred generations of Jewish families have before us,...
