The place is charming. At dawn, however, woodpeckers start pounding on the roof. You can’t sleep because of the noise. It happens again at dawn every morning. What would you do? Most people would conclude the cabin experience was a failure.</p>\n\n<p>This happened to Gracie and Walter on their honeymoon. But instead of deciding that the cabin was a failure they asked, “What if it is an opportunity?” By the time they had returned from their honeymoon they found it. It became a huge commercial success. They created the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker. Walter [Lantz] was the illustrator. Gracie, the voice [after Mel Blanc and Ben Hardaway].</p>\n\n<p>When interviewed on their 50th anniversary, Gracie said, “It was the best thing that ever happened to us.” If Gracie and Walter had become upset and decided the honeymoon was a failure, it would have been a failure. But because they said it was a success, it became a success.</p>\n\n<p>Our perception shapes our reality. So, it’s not about changing careers, houses, or spouses. That’s not necessarily the path to happiness. It’s about changing our mindset. Think positive.

One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.</p>\n\n<p>What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand: The restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was the Creator's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.</p>\n\n<p><u>Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.

Passover is the Spring festival where we celebrate the birth of our nation ― and these vegetables are a symbol of rebirth and rejuvenation.</p>\n\n<p>MARROR &amp; CHAZERET</p>\n\n<p>These are the bitter herbs which symbolize the lot of the Hebrew slaves whose lives were embittered by the hard labor. Many people use horseradish for Marror and Romaine lettuce for Chazeret.</p>\n\n<p>CHAROSET</p>\n\n<p>Charoset reminds us of the hard Jewish labor performed with bricks and mortar. Charoset is a pasty mixture of nuts, dates, apples, wine and cinnamon. The Talmud says this serves as an \"antiseptic\" to dilute the harsh effects of the Marror.</p>\n\n<p>ZERO'AH</p>\n\n<p>During the times of the Temple in Jerusalem, the Korbon Pesach (Pascal Lamb) was brought to the Temple on the eve of Passover. It was roasted, and was the last thing eaten at the Seder meal. To commemorate this offering, we place a roasted chicken bone with a little meat remaining.</p>\n\n<p>In Temple times, every Jew was \"registered\" to eat the Korbon Pesach with his particular group. The Talmud says that the bigger the group, the better. This is a source for having large Seder gatherings!</p>\n\n<p>BEITZAH</p>\n\n<p>A second offering, called the <em>Chagigah</em>, was brought to the Temple and eaten as the main course of the Seder meal.

A vegetables starts off in the dirt and eventually sprouts out of the ground. The Jews as a nation started off in slavery but from there became a strong and independent Nation. Sometimes we need tough starts in order to reach our Potential.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What can we further learn?</strong></p>\n\n<p>When we analyze the word Karpas and break it down to its four component parts ― its four letters of <em>kaf, reish, pehand samech,</em> ― we discover an encoded message of four words which teaches a basic lesson about how to develop our capacity for giving.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ka-</strong>Kaf- Palm of hand</p>\n\n<p><strong>R-</strong>Reish- One who is impoverished</p>\n\n<p><strong>Pa-</strong>Peh- Mouth</p>\n\n<p><strong>S-</strong>Samech-To support</p>\n\n<p>The first letter of Karpas means the palm of the hand. The second letter means a poor person. When taken together these two letter/words speak of a benevolent hand opened for the needy.</p>\n\n<p>But what if you are a person of limited means, with precious little to give? Look at the second half of the word Karpas. The letter <em>peh</em> means mouth, while the final letter <em>samech</em> means to support. True, you may not be capable of giving in the material sense, but you can always give with your words. Words of kindness and concern. Words of empathy and understanding. Words that can lift an impoverished soul and provide a means of support where nothing else will do.</p>\n\n<p>We dip the <em>Karpas</em> in saltwater. Saltwater recalls the bitter tears shed in Egypt. But there is more. The Jewish people, though awash in the tears of bondage, were able to preserve their ability to give. Rather than succumb to the morass of self-pity, they were able to maintain their dignity through giving.</p>\n\n<p><em>Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf</em></p>\n\n<p><strong><span>I</span><strong>DEAS TO PONDER AND DISCUSS</strong></strong></p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>How does giving make me a better person.</li>\n\t<li>List a few things you would like to do to be a better giver.</li>\n</ol>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/111867/karpas_16.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/111867/conversions/karpas_16-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Karpas", "slug": "karpas" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 170, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Power of giving | Passover haggadah by Meor Emory", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

He caught it, thinking it might contain a piece of bread. Upon opening it, however, he was disturbed to discover a pair of <em>tefillin</em> . Judah was very frightened because he knew that were he to be caught carrying <em>tefillin</em> , he would be put to death instantly. So he hid the <em>tefillin</em> under his shirt and headed for his bunkhouse.</p>\n\n<p>In the morning, just before the <em>appel</em> [roll call], while still in his bunkhouse, he put on the <em>tefillin</em> . Unexpectedly, a German officer appeared. He ordered him to remove the <em>tefillin</em> , noted the number on Judah’s arm.</p>\n\n<p>At the <em>appel</em> , in front of thousands of silent Jews, the officer called out Judah’s number and he had no choice but to step forward. The German officer waved the tefillin in the air and said, \"Dog! I sentence you to death by public hanging for wearing these.\"</p>\n\n<p>Judah was placed on a stool and a noose was placed around his neck. Before he was hanged, the officer said in a mocking tone, \"Dog, what is your last wish?\"</p>\n\n<p>“To wear my <em>tefillin</em> one last time,\" Judah replied.</p>\n\n<p>“The officer was dumbfounded. He handed Judah the <em>tefillin</em> . As Judah put them on, he recited the verse that is said while the <em>tefillin</em> are being wound around the fingers: <em>\"Ve’eirastich li le’olam, ve’eirastich li b’tzedek uvemishpat, ub’chessed, uv’rachamim, ve’eirastich li b’emunah, v’yodaat es Hashem</em> – I will betroth you to me forever and I will betroth you to me with righteousness and with justice and with kindness and with mercy and I will betroth you to me with fidelity, and you shall know God.\"</p>\n\n<p>It is hard for us to picture this Jew with a noose around his neck, wearing <em>tefillin</em> on his head and arm – but that was the scene that the entire camp was forced to watch, as they awaited the impending hanging of the Jew who had dared to break the rule against wearing <em>tefillin</em> .</p>\n\n<p>Even women from the adjoining camp were lined up at the barbed wire fence that separated them from the men’s camp, forced to watch this horrible sight.</p>\n\n<p>As Judah turned to watch the silent crowd, he saw tears in many people’s eyes. Even at that moment, as he was about to be hanged, he was shocked. Jews were crying! How was it possible that they still had tears left to shed? And for a stranger? Where were those tears coming from? Impulsively, in Yiddish, he called out, \" <em>Yidden</em>, I am the victor.
