Naming the Plagues

We remove a drop from our cups at the mention of the plagues. Removing wine reminds us that our freedom came at the same time as terrible misfortunes were visited upon the Egyptians. The ten plagues are:

(For each plague from the story, somebody mention a modern day problem in our society)

Dom (blood), Tzfardaya (frogs), Keeneem (lice), Orov (flies), Dever (cattle disease), Shcheen (boils), Barad (hail), Arbeh (locusts), Choschech (darkness), Makat bchorot (slaying of the first born)

(What are some possible lessons of the plagues?)

Introduction

by Clare Kinberg

Many times throughout history, the Jewish people have lived without freedom. The Haggadah tells the story of one of those times. It tells the story of how the Jewish people were freed from being slaves in Eqypt which is called the Exodus. By reading the words of the Haggadah and by eating special food, we perform the Mitzvah written in the Torah. “You shall tell the Passover story to your children in the days to come”.The word “Haggadah” means a retelling.The...

Commentary / Readings

Beitzah

by Jacqueline Goldner

Rabbi Meir ben Tzipporah v’Nechemia haLevi was often asked about the meaning of the roasted egg. It remains on the Seder Plate, yet never discussed. The egg reminds us of many things. Its presence on the Seder Plate represents the holiday sacrifice our ancestors made when the Temple stood. But, as with any good symbol it is rich with meaning. The egg itself is symbolic of life and reminds us of the blossoming world around us. The egg’s roundness reminds us...

Matzah

Maror

by Clare Kinberg

Maror: Bitter Herbs (perceived) – We take a break from the story here to eat Maror. Why? (We are taught that “In every generation all of us are obliged to regard ourselves as if we ourselves went forth from the land of Egypt.” So it is not enough to remember, we must ourselves enter the story and, through symbols and ceremony and food, make it our own. Maror helps reminds us of the bitterness of slavery, the bitterness of being treated...

Lighting the Festival Candles

by Clare Kinberg

Our Passover celebration begins with the lighting of the candles. As we light these candles may we rededicate ourselves to keep alive the burning flame of justice.

Let us bless the source of life, that brings us to this year’s spring and to this year’s seder. May the festival lights we now kindleInspire us to use our...

-- Exodus Story

Magid2

by Clare Kinberg

Even though they were slaves, the Children of Israel continued to have more children. Pharoah was scared of them because of their large population. Pharoah thought that the Children of Israel might join with his other enemies and try to overthrow him and his family as rulers of Egypt. Because Pharoah was scared of the Hebrews, he decided to make things difficult for Hebrew mothers (all male, Hebrew babies were to be killed). He ordered the two head Hebrew midwives, Shifrah...

Koreich

by Jeremy Kenner

Now we partake of the charoset, which symbolizes the mortar which our enslaved ancestors used for building. Though the labor was bitter, it was made bearable by the sweetness of hope. We combine some charoset with some maror between two pieces of matzoh to soften the bitterness of suffering. This is known as the "Hillel sandwich" after one of the most famous of all Rabbis. You may now eat everything in sight, but save room for dinner.

Fourth Cup of Wine Dedicated to Hope

Elijah’s Cup and Miriam’s Cup

The fourth cup of wine is poured We now draw our attention to the two empty cups on the table--one of which is for Elijah the Prophet, and the other for Miriam the Prophetess. Tradition teaches us that each of these biblical characters plays an important task of bringing redemption.It is said that that Elijah the Prophet visits the homes of Jewish families on Passover, to check to see if we are all truly ready to welcome the stranger, and are...

Four Children

by Clare Kinberg

Why do we talk about 4 children? (This part of the seder comes from Rabbinic midrash or Rabbis interpretation of the torah. The Torah speaks about children in connection with the Pesach story 4 times using the exact same words. Rabbis made sense of why the same thing was said 4 times by explaining that each time was supposed to represent different types of children.) How would we respond to each of these 4 types of children? The eager child: (Teach...

First Cup of Wine

by Clare Kinberg

In the Pesach story, freedom is discussed in many different ways. We stop to think about this four different times in the seder with a cup of wine.We dedicate this first cup of wine to Sping, openness to learning and change, to new beginnings(The wine is poured as these blessings are said by everyone):Nvarech et ruach ha’olam boray pri hagafen. Let us bless the source of life that nurtures fruit on the vine as we weave the branches of our lives...
