According to the biblical story, the Jews served as slaves in Egypt, where they built storehouses and palaces for Pharaoh. Pharaoh made their lives miserable by setting strict taskmasters over them and by decreeing that all newborn Jewish boys be killed.<br />\nThrough Moses, a son of an Israelite slave raised by Pharaoh’s daughter, God redeemed the Jewish people from slavery and led them through the wilderness for forty years on the way to the Promised Land.<br />\nTo many, the biblical story of Passover today represents all liberation struggles, past and present. Every year at the Seder table, as we tell the ancient story, we also remember the liberation struggles still under way and commit ourselves to these<br />\nstruggles.</p>\n\n<p><strong>To Consider- Exodus / 2:23-25 שְׁמוֹת</strong><br />\n <em>The children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried,<br />\nAnd their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.<br />\nAnd God heard their groaning, and God remembered the covenant<br />\nWith Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.<br />\nAnd God saw the children of Israel,<br />\nAnd God took cognizance of them.</em> </p>\n\n<p>How do we apply the idea of a covenant to our modern society? What does it mean that first God heard and then remembered; saw the children of Israel and only then became aware of them?</p>\n\n<p>There is a link between hearing and remembering, seeing and knowing. Tonight, let us listen to each other’s stories of immigration and remember our historical journeys to be free. Let us look around at this diverse, multifaith community gathered for the Seder and know our current covenant, our responsibilities, to ourselves and to each other, to<br />\nensure our entire community is free.</p>\n\n<p>God's concern for justice grows out of His compassion for man. The prophets do not speak of a divine relationship to an absolute principle or idea, called justice. They are intoxicated with the awareness of God's relationship to His people and to all men. Justice is not important for its own sake; the validity of justice and the motivation for its exercise lie in the blessings it brings to man. For justice, as stated above, is not an abstraction, but a value. Justice exists in relation to a person, and is something done by a person. An act of injustice is condemned, not because the law is broken, but because a person has been hurt. What is the image of a person? A person is a being whose anguish may reach the heart of God. “You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. If you do afflict them, and they cry out to Me, I will surely hear their cry. . . If he cries out to Me, I will hear,<br />\nfor I am compassionate.” (Exodus 22:22-23, 27).</p>\n\n<p>When Cain murdered his brother Abel, the words denouncing his crime did not proclaim:<br />\n“You have broken the law.” Instead, we read, “And. . . the Lord said: What have you done?<br />\nThe voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground.” (Genesis 4:10)</p>\n\n<p> <em>Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) was one of the greatest Jewish theologians and activists of the 20th century. A professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York and author of numerous books and articles, he was deeply involved in the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. A famous photo (shown left) captures Heschel walking arm-in-arm with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the civil<br />\nrights march in Selma, Alabama.</em> </p>\n\n<p> <em>Their work for civil rights and social justice strengthened the connection between the Jewish and African American Communities. Remembering the story of the Jewish people and past struggles to overcome oppression, Abraham Heschel and other Jewish leaders recognized their obligation to be aware of others and their ongoing struggles for<br />\nfreedom.<br />\nIt is in this same way, that we remembering the compassion shown to us by God in the<br />\nPassover Story, we commit to work for a more just world, free from all forms of captivity.</em> </p>\n\n<p><strong>To Consider-</strong><br />\nWhile the Temple stood in Jerusalem (before 70 CE), Jews celebrated Passover by slaughtering, roasting and eating a lamb. This ritual served as a reminder of the night before the exodus from Egypt when, according to the Torah, the Israelites slaughtered and ate lambs and spread the blood of these lambs on their doorposts as a sign to God not to slaughter the firstborn sons in these homes.<br />\nThe lamb eaten during Temple times was to be consumed completely. As most families were not large enough to finish an entire animal by themselves, families would join together and share a lamb. This ritual thus emphasized the need for community – no individual or family could celebrate Passover alone, but rather needed other families to<br />\nmake their celebrations complete. Similarly, we celebrate Passover by coming together in community, sharing stories and traditions and committing ourselves, as a community, to working toward liberation for all who are oppressed.</p>\n\n<p>This year parts of the #blacklivesmatter supplement will be incorporated into the Haggadah as part of that continuing work, committing ourselves to end oppressions.</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Freedom and Justice Seder 2012/5768", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10462/heschel-post01.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10462/conversions/heschel-post01-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 257, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Passover Story | Passover haggadah by Laura Craig Mason", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Pharaoh<br />\ndecreed that the Israelite men should sleep in<br />\nthe fields and not at home. With this law,<br />\nPharaoh hoped both to increase the slaves’<br />\nproductivity (by eliminating commuting time) and<br />\nto stop the Jews from procreating.</p>\n\n<p>However, the midrash says that the women used<br />\nto go out to the fields at night, seduce their<br />\nhusbands, and become pregnant. The women<br />\nwould then give birth secretly and hide the<br />\nbabies from the Egyptians. In the Bible, women such as the midwives Shifra and Puah, and Moses’ mother and sister, Yocheved and<br />\nMiriam, play crucial roles in defying Pharaoh’s orders to kill all newborn Jewish boys.<br />\nWith Miriam’s Cup, we celebrate women’s past and present leadership in social justice<br />\nmovements and rededicate ourselves to working toward the liberation of all women.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Eliyahu haNavi / Miriam haNeviyah<br />\nAll sing</strong>ng<br />\nElijah the prophet, come soon to us, heralding the messianic era.<br />\nMiriam the prophet, strength and song in her hand<br />\nDance with us to increase worldly song<br />\nDance with us to fix the world<br />\nShe will soon bring us to the waters of redemption</p>", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Jewish Council on Urban Affairs Justice and Freedom Seder 2012", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164545/Screen-Shot-2015-04-04-at-1.32.35-PM.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164545/conversions/Screen-Shot-2015-04-04-at-1.32.35-PM-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Koreich", "slug": "koreich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 268, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Fourth Cup ‐ECONOMIC JUSTICE | Passover haggadah by Laura Craig Mason", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

While on campus, I came across a Haggada that had been written by some<br />\nOberlin students to express feminist concerns. One ritual they devised was placing a<br />\ncrust of bread on the Seder plate, as a sign of solidarity with Jewish lesbians (\"there's as<br />\nmuch room for a lesbian in Judaism as there is for a crust of bread on the Seder plate\").<br />\nAt the next Passover, I placed an orange on our family's Seder plate. During the first part<br />\nof the Seder, I asked everyone to take a segment of the orange, make the blessing over<br />\nfruit, and eat it as a gesture of solidarity with Jewish lesbians and gay men, and others<br />\nwho are marginalized within the Jewish community (I mentioned widows in particular).<br />\nBread on the Seder plate brings an end to Pesach - it renders everything chometz. And<br />\nits symbolism suggests that being lesbian is being transgressive, violating Judaism. I felt<br />\nthat an orange was suggestive of something else: the fruitfulness for all Jews when<br />\nlesbians and gay men are contributing and active members of Jewish life. In addition,<br />\neach orange segment had a few seeds that had to be spit out - a gesture of spitting out,<br />\nrepudiating the homophobia that poisons too many Jews.<br />\n<strong>Susannah Heschel, April, 2001<br />\nEli Black Professor of Jewish Studies Dartmouth College</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All sing:<br />\nBaruch ha-Shem shel Yahoway ( Repeat three times)<br />\nBaruch ha-Shem, baruch ha-shem shel Yahowah<br />\nBlessed be the name of our God ( Repeat three times)<br />\nBlessed be the name, blessed be the name of our God.<br />\nWho noten lechem oo-mayim gam ( Repeat three times)<br />\nWho noten lechem, who noten lechem oo-mayim gam.<br />\nHe gives us bread and water too ( Repeat three times)<br />\nHe gives us bread, He gives us bread and our water too.<br />\nBaruch ha-Shem shel Yahoway ( Repeat three times)<br />\nBaruch ha-Shem, baruch ha-shem shel Yahowah</strong></p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Jewish Council on Urban Affairs Justice and Freedom Seder 2012", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10481/orange.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10481/conversions/orange-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Koreich", "slug": "koreich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 246, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "To Consider- The Origin of the Orange on the Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Laura Craig Mason", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
