The orange was first introduced to the seder plate by Susannah Heschel. She explains ‘I chose an orange because it suggests the fruitfulness for all Jews when lesbians and gay men are contributing and active members of Jewish life. “Be fruitful and multiply” is the Bible’s first commandment, and we need to recognise the fruitfulness of gay and lesbian presence, and encourage that presence to multiply.’ Having spent her life struggling for inclusion in Jewish ritual she said ‘I also saw the orange as representing the fruitfulness that results when women lead the seder.... All the barriers that my generation of feminists was able to pull down needed public markers.’ She then extended the ritual to include issues surrounding homosexuality, as while the community began to accept women’s rights, ‘Jewish attitudes… remained hostile and mocking toward gay liberation.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Seder in the Warsaw Ghetto:</strong>  Sixty years ago, in April of 1943, the remaining Jews in the Ghetto decided to fight back. The actions of the heroic Warsaw Ghetto Fighters made its way into our lexicon as one of the great defining moments of Jewish History. The story of the last remnants of the Ghetto cutoff from the world, without food, without supplies, pitted against the might of Nazi Germany. Together they huddled in bunkers and destroyed buildings to celebrate their last Passover, recalling the Exodus of their forefathers from the land of Egypt 3,500 years earlier. How difficult this last Seder must have been. Hundreds of thousands of Jews, including their fathers and mothers, their grandparents, their brothers and sisters had already been deported from the Ghetto to Treblinka and Auschwitz during the past year. There were no longer any children with them to ask the four questions at the Seder, nor was there enough Matza for all the participants, nor could they spare the wine to pour an extra cup in honor of the prophet Elijah who according to Jewish tradition would one day herald the final redemption. Yet nothing could deter them or prevent them from defying the Nazis by celebrating the Festival of Freedom. A diarist who was there recorded the following: On Monday,</p>\n\n<p>April 19, 1943 at 5:30am the small ghetto was surrounded by German SS Troops and Latvians. They appeared at Wolynska and Mila Streets and soon walked into a trap, as firing broke out from Zaminoff and Murawskn Streets. The battle lasted until 11:30 a.m. Then the Germans were forced to retreat. Meanwhile, the long day moved toward evening. Everywhere people gathered for the Seder in bunkers and cellars. Although they followed the standard ritual, they could palpably sense that this was their last Pesach in this world. At 21 Salmenach Street, a Seder was in progress. Among those present was Rabbi Ruvein Horowitz, a Mizrachi activist, the Rodel brothers, Yosef Konisberg, Menachim Kershimbaum and his daughter, Avrahm Zember, Yosef Tenenbaum, Fogel, Finklekraut, Mordechai Analevitz (who was the leader of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising).</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": 448, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Talya Finke", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Uprising against this kind of oppression is possible with different levels of success. It is possible to diminish its influence and there is hope for liberation from this level of oppression.<br />\nIn this type of oppression the oppressor is the more oppressed than the one he is oppressing.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The Second Level of Oppression:</strong><br />\nThe second level of oppression isideological oppression, in which the oppressor manipulates (lies) the oppressed to the point of identification, the oppressed identifies with the values and interests of his oppressor. The identification is an important element in blurring the consciousness of the oppressed to the existence of the oppression. This system lowers the oppressed self-consciousness partly because of his own actions. These actions are drawn to the system's existing movement, it straightens and sophisticates the existing order and then rebuilds its boundaries. Examples are ideological expression as a nationalism, \"free initiative\" and Marxism. Against this existing oppression there is a hope to activate (as Marx in his time) a critical ideology (creating awareness) and to raise the oppressed to resistance against his oppressor. This level of oppression, moves from the personal level (private) to the class or group level, from the personal to the collective, it is far more efficient than the first level of oppression, because it exceeds physical oppression as the oppressors’ main means of manipulation. In correlation the liberation from the second level of oppression is more problematic and as usual evolves into a more sophisticated type of oppression. As long as the uprisers are weak, they will focus their actions against the systems structure. Once stronger and their control is more established, the oppressed will take over the roles of judges and legislators, and teachers and psychologists will be sent against their enemies to mainly treat the soul. Yet there is still place for hope.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Third level of oppression:</strong><br />\nThe third level of oppression, is a faceless oppression without class identification, successful enough to be accepted by the oppressed with internalization and devotion.<strong>This oppression is conditioned by the \"narrowing of the dialogue\" and sterilization of the antagonist dimension in the taken-for-granted well know reality, and their undisturbed actions of controlling forces in the system.</strong>Markuza is on the verge of pessimism in view of what we call oppression of the third level, in which the structure of the oppressed, up to the point of where the need or capability of rebellion will not exist. This is described as the rooting and destruction of the new: diseases, necessities and needs; illness, drugs and poisons, antidotes to create a new world of symbols that sum up the founding of \"new man\" that will never want or be capable of emancipation.</p>\n\n<p>-Ilan Gur Ze'ev.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 1, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Kadesh", "slug": "kadesh" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 442, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Oppression | Passover haggadah by Talya Finke", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Again and again, the torah commands the Israelites to <strong>remember that they were foreigners in Egypt, and to treat foreigners with kindness and empathy</strong>. It would be especially tempting to the Israelites to mistreat Egyptians, given their painful history. But the Torah explicitly commands that the memory of slavery in Egypt is to prompt the Israelites to resist the temptation to be unkind to Egyptians. We celebrate this Seder at a moment when Israel remains an occupier ruling over the lives of more than a million Palestinians who seek their own state and their same right to national self-determination that Jews rightly achieved for ourselves. We are proud of the steps that Israel has taken to change this situation, but we cannot forget on this anniversary of our own national liberation struggle that our people, so unfairly treated throughout our history, has now become the face of the oppressor to another people…It would be hypocritical for us to celebrate our own victory over oppression if we did not commit ourselves to overcoming the role that the State of Israel now plays as an oppressor to the Palestinian people.</p>\n\n<p>Excerpt from Kvutsah Yovel Hagaddah</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": "Kadesh", "slug": "kadesh" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 223, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Contemporary Forms of Oppression | Passover haggadah by Talya Finke", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

In everything you do, always to remind.\"</p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The Jewish collective memory informs our holidays and celebrations. We re-enact our slavery in Egypt, the destruction of our Temples in Jerusalem, and our suffering in exile. These memories, which sustained the nation and people of Israel, have also taught us to feel the pain of other oppressed peoples. Just as we were twice driven from our homeland, the people of Tibet lost their autonomy around 50 years ago and have been oppressed by the Chinese ever since. The Dalai Lama has led a nonviolent campaign to regain Tibetan autonomy and religious freedom, a struggle that has won him the respect of the world and the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize.</p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The Baal Shem Tov wrote, \"The key to redemption is in remembrance.\" Seder Night is a night on which we remember. We remember the history of our own people, their slavery and their redemption. We remember the sufferings of others who have learned the meaning of Galut, exile. On Seder night we remember the unspeakable horrors perpetrated by the Chinese m Tibet; the sudden and violent end to Tibet's centuries old isolation beyond the Himalayas; the brutal suppression of Tibet's unique brand of Buddhism; and the annihilation of Tibet's culture and society.</p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Of the six million Tibetans, more than a million have died from the Chinese occupation, of torture, starvation and execution. More than 6,000 monasteries and their contents, irreplaceable jewels of Tibetan culture, were destroyed. Tibetans are routinely imprisoned and tortured for non-violently expressing their views.</p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel taught us that no religion is an island.

We Jews, who have known persecution, exile and attempts to annihilate us, reach across the boundaries of geography and culture to another people, so like us, yet so different.</p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Why not set aside as a token of hope, a matzah of freedom, to remember the Tibetan people, whether in exile or under the yoke of Chinese oppression. The Talmud teaches that in messianic times we will recall at Passover not just the liberation from Egypt but the liberation of all peoples from their oppression. We can bring that time of perfection closer by recalling the hope of freedom for all Tibetan people.  </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><strong>(adapted from the writings of Rodger Kamenetz, author, of the acclaimed book, The Jew in the Lotus – UJIA Makor Haggadah Supplement)</strong></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": "Yachatz", "slug": "yachatz" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 132, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "A Fourth Matzah? | Passover haggadah by Talya Finke", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

During a famine our ancestor Jacob and his family fled to Egypt where food was plentiful. His son Joseph had risen to high position in Pharaoh’s court, and our people were well respected and well-regarded, secure in the power structure of the time.</p>\n\n<p>2.Generations passed and our people remained in Egypt. In time, a new Pharaoh ascended to the throne. He found our difference threatening, and ordered our people enslaved. In fear of rebellion, Pharaoh decreed that all Hebrew boy-children be killed. Two midwives named Shifrah and Puah defied his orders, claiming that “the Hebrew women are so hardy, they give birth before we arrive!”Through their courage, a boy survived; midrash tells us he was radiant with light. Fearing for his safety, his family placed him in a basket and he floated down the Nile. He was found, and adopted, by Pharaoh’s daughter, who named him Moshe because min ha-mayim m’shitihu,from the water she drew him forth. She hired his mother Yocheved as his wet-nurse. Thus he survived to adulthood, and was raised as Prince of Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>3. Although a child of privilege, as he grew he became aware of the slaves who worked in the brickyards of his father. When he saw an overseer mistreat a slave, he struck the overseer and killed him. Fearing retribution, he set out across the Sinai alone. God spoke to him from a burning bush, which though it flamed was not consumed. The Voice called him to lead the Hebrew people to freedom. Moses argued with God, pleading inadequacy, but God disagreed. Sometimes our responsibilities choose us.</p>\n\n<p>4.Moses returned to Egypt and went to Pharaoh to argue the injustice of slavery. He gave Pharaoh a mandate which resounds through history: Let my people go. Pharaoh refused, and Moses warned him that Mighty God would strike the Egyptian people. These threats were not idle: ten terrible plagues were unleashed upon the Egyptians. Only when his nation lay in ruins did Pharaoh agree to our liberation.</p>\n\n<p>5. Fearful that Pharaoh would change his mind, our people fled, not waiting for their bread dough to rise. (For this reason we eat unleavened bread as we take part in their journey.)Our people did not leave Egypt alone; a “mixed multitude” went with them. From this we learn that liberation is not for us alone, but for all the nations of the earth. Even Pharaoh’s daughter came with us, and traded her old title (bat-Pharaoh, daughter of Pharaoh) for the name Batya, “daughter of God.”</p>\n\n<p>6.Pharaoh’s army followed us to the Sea of Reeds. We plunged into the waters. Only when we had gone as far as we could did the waters part for us. We mourn, even now, that Pharaoh’s army drowned: our liberation is bittersweet because people died in our pursuit.</p>\n\n<p>7. To this day we relive our liberation, that we may not become complacent, that we may always rejoice in our 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": "Maggid - Beginning", "slug": "maggid-beginning" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 234, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Exodus | Passover haggadah by Talya Finke", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

There we were in our linen clothes, frest and eager to participate in the evening's ritual, the festival of freedom. We were planning to do our part to bring a better world into being. A young guest patiently listened to much talk of freedom and the end of slavery, and then voiced a question: “<strong>How can we sit here and celebrate our freedom when so many other people are now enslaved?</strong>”</p>\n\n<p>There was a silence.</p>\n\n<p>Then, tentatively, one by one, guests began trying to answer the question. And as the conversation haltingly continued, to my mind the real seder began. This is the question I wait for every year. I have come to believe that the entire ritual of the seder is meant to evoke this question. We sit here together and extol and praise our freedom just so that we can ask how we dare to do so. How dare we spend the. Night singing to God about our freedom against the backdrop of an enslaved world? The paradoxical answer to this question is at the crux of why I return to the seder table spring after spring. Precisely because the world is broken, because there is still suffering and injustice, we must sit here arid dwell on the miracle of our freedom from slavery. By telling our story together, we affirm that while not everyone is free, that while even we ourselves are not wholly free, there is still freedom in our world. We remember in a rush what freedom feels like. And together, over the course of the telling, we re-create a communal vision of a better world. We voice our desire that we be not only the recipients of freedom but its instigators as well - a people ready to birth freedom at a moment's notice. Through our ritual and in our readiness, we isolate freedom, we stake it out, we approach it. It is like any other act of faith. We know that there is pain in our rid. But on this night, we do not let that pain paralyze us. We quietly but unmistakably deny pain the right to define our life's work. Rather, on this night, we gather together in our homes to stare into the eyes of freedom. We throw our mighty hands and our outstretched arms around its neck and refuse to let it go.</p>\n\n<p>NOA RACHEL KUSHNER</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": "-- Four Questions", "slug": "four-questions" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 154, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Question I Wait For | Passover haggadah by Talya Finke", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

The government, which refrained from setting refugee policy for fear of creating a precedent which might be applied to large numbers of Palestinians, jailed the asylum seekers - some of them for years - though they were never charged with a crime, nor was there evidence that they had committed one, apart from crossing an open border to request asylum.</p>\n\n<p><strong>VERSE 2:</strong> Time after time, the Netanyahu government, ignoring the advice of its own attorney general, submitted legislation aimed at arrest, incarceration, and deportation - without a semblance of due process - of asylum seekers, to whom the government routinely referred as illegal infiltrators. The government set up an independent police force to round up the Africans.</p>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"http://www.haaretz.com/news/will-israel-grant-asylum-to-fascism-1.279917\">first of the bills</a> specified a sentence of up to 20 years for crossing the border, and the same for doctors, nurses, and others caught giving \"assistance to infiltrator.\"</p>\n\n<p>Though the Prevention of Infiltration Bill was later softened, it would open the door to a succession of other legislation initiatives, all with similar aims. The High Court of Justice repeatedly struck them down and ordered the government to free asylum seekers jailed under the laws, but instead of complying, the government enacted new, slightly revised versions of the same legislation.</p>\n\n<p><strong>VERSE 3:</strong> In 2012, Likud MK Miri Regev publicly <a href=\"http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/routine-emergencies/when-your-racism-goes-viral-on-facebook.premium-1.432987\">compared</a> African asylum seekers to a \"cancer\" spreading throughout Israel.

We fill Miriam's cup with water to honor her role in ensuring the survival of the Jewish people. Like Miriam, Jewish women in all generations have been essential for the continuity of our people. As keepers of traditions in the home, women passed down songs and stories, rituals and recipes, from mother to daughter, from generation to generation. Let us each fill the cup of Miriam with water from our own glasses, so that our daughters may continue to draw from the strength and wisdom of our heritage.</p>\n\n<p><strong>When Miriam's cup is filled, raise the goblet and say: </strong><br />\nWe place Miriam's cup on our seder table to honor the important role of Jewish women in our tradition and history, whose stories have been too sparingly told.<br />\n<br />\n<strong>Continue by reciting this prayer (from Susan Schnur):</strong><br />\n\"You abound in blessings, God, creator of the universe, Who<br />\nsustains us with living water.
