"body": "<p>The idea for the Freedom Seder was hatched 51 years ago, and took place in Washington DC, eight days after the assasination of Dr. Martin Luther King. People in the city were rebeling, and a Jewish man and civil rights activist named Arthur Waskow was deeply affected by the military presence in the city brought on by the violence. A year later, he wrote is own Haggadah, and over 800 Washingtonians, black, white, jewish and christian, came together in a church for a solidarity gathering seder with his Haggadah. </p>\n\n<p>From a Washpo article about the event:</p>\n\n<p>The huge crowd in 1969 sat at long tables in front of candles and matzah. They read from Waskow’s book, which invoked nuclear disarmament and police brutality as modern problems in need of solutions alongside the traditional “Dayenu” recitation of ancient problems that God solved, and listed King and Gandhi as “prophets” alongside Elijah. The worshipers raised their wine glasses and proclaimed not “L’chaim” but “Liberation now!” and sang a hymn common to black Christians and to Jews: “Go Down, Moses.”</p>\n\n<p>Today we have gathered friends in the name of freedom and solidarity, rememberance of our ancestors to share a communal seder and meal and ask ourselves and our beloved guests.... </p>\n\n<p>What does freedom mean to you in 2019? </p>",

Then we tell the story of how God helped Moses lead our people out of slavery and into freedom. </p>\n\n<p>Instead of this formality, we'd like you to turn to your neighbor and engage in the first of four short disscussions around our four freedom questions. </p>\n\n<p>1. Who is free in 2019? Please consider what freedom means, and consider sentient beings beyond humans... such as animals and plants. (4 min)</p>\n\n<p>2. What challenges are inhibiting full access to freedom in 2019 (4 min)</p>\n\n<p>3. What would people need to do differently to improve all being's access to freedom? (4 min)</p>\n\n<p>4. What is one thing you would be willing to do differently to help improve access to freedom in your life? (4 min)</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ella Baker </strong><br />\n<br />\nEven if segregation is gone, we will still need to be free; we will still have to see that everyone has a job. Even if we can all vote, but if people are still hungry, we will not be free…Singing alone is not enough; we need schools and learning…Remember, we are not fighting for the freedom of the Negro alone, but for the freedom of the human spirit, a larger freedom that encompasses all of mankind.<br />\n~ Ella Baker, (Source: Ransby, Barbara.

This soul is complete with an infrastructure of powers ranging from pleasure and will to intellect and emotions. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>The second soul is the <em><span>Nefesh Elokit</span></em>.

That is why we use the term POTSA instead of dead when describing a person gone from this life. It is an acronym that stands for Passed On To Something Awesome, which requires us to think about the person’s soul now in its most fabulous state of being, rather than focusing on our deep sadness for their loss in our life. It also opens the possibility that these souls are still with us, cheering us on and guiding us closer towards our own self-actualization. This shift honors their current existence and offers a more accurate portrayal of the multi-layered reality of the Universe, while bringing us more feelings of freedom and joy down here where we continue to live on Earth. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Based on this concept, we’d like to honor all of the souls who have POTSA, and bring them into our space tonight. Please call out the names of loved ones who have left the Earth, inviting them to share in wine and matzo with us and engage in this special experience with us. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>",

Hahahahah! Oh, Moses. You are so naïve. WE are the royalty. We were meant to enjoy the spoils of this lifetime. There is simply not enough resources for everyone to prosper. If we paid all of the Hebrews, we would ourselves become poor. We would have to beg for food, and shelter and watch our family members perish because we did not have the medicine to cure them. You do not want that type of life, now do you Moses? You do not want me to perish, do you?</span></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><span><span><b><span><span>AUNT IDA</span></span></b></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span><span>Are we sure the Princess is not Jewish, cause she seems to be pretty good at playing that guilt card.

"body": "<p>According to the Kabbalah, the book that represents Jewish Mysticism, every Jew is composite of two distinct souls. The first soul is the Nefesh HaBehamit which animates the body. This soul is complete with an infrastructure of powers ranging from pleasure and will to intellect and emotions. The second soul is the Nefesh Elokit. This soul is described by Job as “a part of G‑d,” and exists both before its descent into the body and after the ascent from the body. <br />\n<br />\nThis means that our loved ones who have passed are actually still alive, existing on another plane at levels of joy and adventure that we cannot even imagine with our Earth-tied minds. That is why we use the term POTSA instead of dead when describing a person gone from this life. It is an acronym that stands for Passed On To Something Awesome, which requires us to think about the person’s soul now in its most fabulous state of being, rather than focusing on our deep sadness for their loss in our life. It also opens the possibility that these souls are still with us, cheering us on and guiding us closer towards our own self-actualization. This shift honors their current existence and offers a more accurate portrayal of the multi-layered reality of the Universe, while bringing us more feelings of freedom and joy down here where we continue to live on Earth. <br />\n<br />\nBased on this concept, we’d like to honor all of the souls who have POTSA, and bring them into our space tonight. Please call out the names of loved ones who have left the Earth, inviting them to share in wine and matzo with us and engage in this special experience with us.</p>",
