Traditionally, we go through our cupboards and storage areas to remove all products of leavened grain from our possession. When this task (called bedikah) is accomplished, we destroy a symbolic measure of the collected items by burning (biur), and a blessing is recited. This spring-cleaning gives us an immediate opportunity to fulfill the mitzvah (commandment) of ma’ot hittin (grains of wheat), or caring for the hungry. Many Jews collect their chametz and donate it to a food bank. Our rabbis remind us that matzah, the sanctified bread of Pesach, is made of the same grain as chametz, that which is forbidden to us on Pesach. What makes the same thing either holy or profane? It is what we do with it, how we treat it, what we make of it. As with wheat, so to with our lives. As we search our homes, we also search our hearts. What internal chametz has accumulated over the last year? What has puffed us up? What has made us ignore our good inclinations? What has turned us from the paths our hearts would freely follow? Everyone writes down some personal chametz of which they want to be rid. When everyone is finished, we put our chametz together in a bowl for burning. Together we recite the blessing for burning chametz: (Ashkenazi pronunciation, masc.) Baruch atah Adonai, eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher kidshanu b’mitvotav vitzivanu al biur chametz. (Ashkenazi pronunciation, fem.) Brucha Yah Shechinah, eloheinu Malkat ha’olam, asher kidshanu b’mitvotav vitzivanu al biur chametz. Blessed is the force of all life, who makes us holy with mitzvot and invites us to burn chametz. Every sort of hametz in my possession, which has met my gaze or has not met my gaze, which I have destroyed or have not destroyed, let it be null and void, ownerless, like the dust of the earth.

Draw to your mind your ancestors – genetic or spiritual. Imagine them in the different places they lived, the lands and seas they traveled, by choice and for their lives, in freedom and enslaved. Imagine them holding what was precious to them, imagine this gift coming down through the generations to you. Imagine the places they were broken and take a moment to feel the body of your ancestors, its stitches and its scars. (29) Thank them for the parts of your heritage you love and forgive them for the pain. Now visualize yourself as the ancestor of the generations to come. Accept their gratitude and forgiveness.(1) Everyone open your eyes and read together: We invite to the room the spirits of our ancestors. We honor you and we forgive you. Thank you for bringing us to this moment. May our lives contribute to the healing of all of our peoples, and all of the worlds.

Our seder, first conducted thousands of years ago, was first conducted in Aramaic. Aramaic was the language of the people. Aramaic was the language of the ancient rabbis in Jerusalem; Aramaic was the language of Jesus ben Joseph of Nazareth; Aramaic was the language of a dispossessed people living on land occupied by a foreign empire. Over the course of centuries, Aramaic faded out of use, the descendents of its speakers learning and living with Greek and Syriac and Arabic and, later, Hebrew. Tonight we reintroduce a sleeping language. Tonight our blessings stretch back two thousand years. Why is this important? Just as the first haggadot were composed in Aramaic, the language of the people, our seder is conducted primarily in English, the language which all of us at this table share. It might be our first language or our third; we may feel more at home in Spanish, or Yiddish, or Hebrew.</p>\n\n<p>Regardless, sharing our seder in English is a decision entirely in keeping with the tradition that makes Passover the peoples’ holiday. We use English, our common language, so that we are all able to question, all equal to participate. (20) As we tell the story of Exodus, we remember the ways in which this story has inspired communities across the world that are searching for freedom. In particular, the Exodus story forms the core of African-American Protestant traditions.</p>\n\n<p>Harriet Tubman was called the Moses of her time because of her ability to deliver her people from slavery through the Underground Railroad to freedom. (2) The Telling: This story, the core of the Seder, can be read going around the table, with each person reading one or several paragraphs. According to the Torah, our ancestor Joseph (who had great fashion) was sold into slavery by his brothers and became valuable to Pharaoh for his astute economic predictions and ability to administer before and during severe famine. Because of his skills, his people were welcomed. When new rulers came to power the Hebrews fell out of favor and were enslaved. Vineyards and fields were confiscated, work quotas were increased, families separated and wages dropped to nothing. Despite these hardships, the Hebrew people survived and grew in numbers.</p>\n\n<p>The new Pharaoh became concerned that they would unite with Mitzrayim’s enemies. Miriam was four years old when the Pharaoh said, “ There are too many of those Jews—I’m scared of them—they’ll take over soon. Kill all their sons! Drown them in the Nile!” Amram, Miriam’s father, said to Yochevet, Miriam’s mother, “Dear, there is only one solution. We mustn’t make any more babies, and we must tell our people to do the same. If no sons are born, no sons will be killed.” Yochevet sighed, but strong, young Miriam cried, ”No! You shall not do that! Pharaoh’s decree kills only the boys—your decree kills the girls as well. We will find another way.” Amram and Yochevet listened to their daughter, Miriam, and Jewish babies continued to be conceived and born.</p>\n\n<p>Pharaoh summoned the Jewish midwives whose names where Shifra and Pu-ah and ordered that the boy babies be killed as soon as they were born. Slyly, they responded “No way! We mean sir, there is no way because the strong Jewish mothers birth their babes so quickly that they are hidden before we arrive.” Miriam was five years old when Yochevet became pregnant. Miriam was a prophet and she said, “Yochevet will give birth to a son who will survive and help our people.” Ah Moses, now comes Moses…teeny-tiny baby boy, cute, but makes a lot of noise, “Whaa, whaa…” What shall we do? If the baby is found, we will all be punished. The baby must be saved! Think Miriam, think; a basket of reeds, one that will float. She said to her brother, “Aaron, we must weave a basket of papyrus reeds,” and they did. Smart young people. All night long they worked together. In the morning, tired, hopeful, the family took the new baby, kissed him all over, patted his “tuchas” and tucked him in his basket. Miriam took the basket to the river and while she hid in the tall grasses, floated her new brother downstream past the very place the Pharaoh’s daughter went swimming every morning. And there she was, ready to dive in, when a beautiful woven basket floated by. And in the basket? A tiny perfect Jewish baby, cute and very noisy: Whaa, whaa! Pharaoh’s daughter drew him from the water and said with love: “I will raise you but who will feed you?” Miriam, delighted, alert, piped up from her hiding place and said: “I know a good woman, Yochevet, who will nurse him.” “Perfect,” said the daughter of Pharaoh. “Bring him to me when he is weaned; he will be as my own son for I have no other. Moses, I will call him Moses because I brought him from the river’s water.”</p>\n\n<p>History tells is that Moses grew up in the palace and had no awareness of himself as a Jew. But we know that Moses was nursed by Yochevet and had played with Aaron and Miriam and his father Amram, and though he left when he was weaned, the memory of their warmth, their love, their light, was in his head and heart.</p>\n\n<p>Growing up, Moshe is growing up<br />\nRestless, very restless<br />\nNot at ease in his palace home<br />\nnot at peace with the Pharaoh<br />\nHe goes out walking, is often out<br />\nWatching and listening…<br />\nHe’s learned all his teachers<br />\nhave to offer…</p>\n\n<p><br />\nLonely, this upper class boy,<br />\nwith no peers, heir to the Pharaoh,<br />\nhonest and compassionate,<br />\nMoshe tries to ease the burdens<br />\nof the workers<br />\nHe has questions<br />\n“Who are these Jews to me?”<br />\nWho are these workers, these slaves,<br />\nso driven in toil<br />\nThat the quarries, the cities, the roads,<br />\nand the tombs are built with the blood<br />\nof the Jews in their bricks?</p>\n\n<p><br />\nWhy the Jews<br />\nI must speak out<br />\nI can’t bear this<br />\nDon’t you beat him!<br />\nHe is dying! She is starving!<br />\nYou, overseer,<br />\nwhy must you be so brutal?<br />\nThe Taskmaster says to Moses,<br />\nYou mind your own business.<br />\nyoung Pharaoh-son!<br />\nA slave who can’t work here<br />\nis useless, is guilty, is worthless.<br />\nThe whip is the master.<br />\nBut no! You can’t kill them<br />\nTho’ slaves, they’re all people!<br />\nWe’re all people!</p>\n\n<p><br />\nMy just heart is breaking<br />\nMy reason is shattered…<br />\nAnd in the fury, in the pain and confusion, young, idealistic, ready, impulsive<br />\nMoses killed the taskmaster who beat the slave. And then he fled to the<br />\ndesert, through barren hills and over-dried river beds, to think, and to wait and<br />\nto grow, beyond the Jordan River.</p>\n\n<p>Moses arrived at and stayed many years in<br />\nMidian. He married Tzeporah and had children. He tended flocks in the<br />\nwilderness. Life there was good, and yet he never forgot Mitzrayim and the<br />\ngood people enslaved there under Pharaoh.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nOne day, while grazing his flock and gazing out on the vastness of the desert,<br />\nhe envisioned a bush that burned and burned and did not burn up. And he<br />\nheard a voice, saying to him what he knew to be true—that the people in his<br />\nmemories were his own people, that he should return to them, and together<br />\nthey would find a way to be free.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nMoses left his life and family in Midian, and returned to Mitzrayim.<br />\nAnd what’s happening now back in the Mitzrayim of his youth, his crime, and<br />\nhis vision?</p>\n\n<p><br />\nThe Jews are hungry.<br />\nThe Jews are tired.<br />\nThe Jews are angry.<br />\nThe Jews are talking with each other.<br />\nThe Jews are beginning to organize!<br />\nTalks of rebellion, talk of escape<br />\nDebate argue struggle<br />\nUnity struggle unity NO struggle unity struggle—community!<br />\nNew unity—and a plan evolves:</p>\n\n<p><br />\nFirst, negotiate with the Pharaoh, and if that doesn’t work<br />\nThen, threaten with powerful magic, and if that doesn’t work<br />\nThen split from Mitzrayim<br />\nAfter all, Pharaoh is not likely to choose to free his entire exploitable labor force<br />\njust like that! (Snap the fingers.)<br />\nDid ya hear?<br />\nHear what?<br />\nHe’s back in town.<br />\nWho’s back in town?<br />\nMoses. Remember Moses?<br />\nNever expected to see him again.<br />\nHow does he look?<br />\nOlder and wiser and…<br />\nHe’s come out as a Jew!<br />\nHe wants to work with us, says he has ideas about<br />\nHow we can all get out of here…<br />\nTo earn a living<br />\ncan be as hard<br />\nas to part the<br />\nRed Sea.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><br />\nNo work,<br />\nhowever humble,<br />\ndishonors a<br />\nperson.<br />\n- The Talmud</p>\n\n<p>So a new committee was formed, the “how to get out of here” committee.<br />\nThey met every Tuesday and Thursday night for two months, down by the<br />\nfleshpots. At the end of two months, people weren’t sure that much had been<br />\naccomplished. Some preferred to remain in slavery rather than face the perils<br />\nof committee life.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nThey debated questions of violence and non-violence: is property damage<br />\nacceptable? Causing enemies to suffer? What about the innocent bystanders?<br />\nHow about revenge?</p>\n\n<p><br />\nThey also debated questions of leadership: “I think Moses has taken too much<br />\npower. Let’s try rotational leadership—after all, we don’t want him to have a<br />\ndistorted role in history. We’re all working very hard for our liberation!”<br />\nAnd they were. But Moses had an “in” with Pharaoh, and the time for<br />\nnegotiations had arrived. Armed with the best speech the propaganda<br />\ncommittee could prepare and several support people, Moses proposed that<br />\nPharaoh free the Jews, with as little fuss as possible.<br />\nPharaoh, of course, said “No,” and the peaceful negotiation was ended. Then<br />\nMiriam spoke for the women:<br />\nIn sadness, we must proceed with our plans,<br />\nPharaoh, do you hear us?<br />\nGreat suffering will come to the land of Mitzrayim.<br />\nWe’d rather our freedom be gained without hurting the people of this land.<br />\nOne plague at a time we will bring you,<br />\nAnd each time we will say: “let my people go!<br />\nAnd Pharaoh didn’t listen.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nThe Jews marked their doorposts and death “passed over” their homes taking<br />\nonly the children of the people of Pharaoh. And hearing the awful cries of<br />\nmourning, the grief of all the parents and brothers and sisters, Pharaoh ordered<br />\nthe Jews to leave.<br />\nAnd they did, very quickly, taking only their journey food, matzah. Yet Pharaoh<br />\nhas a change of heart, and mobilized his forces to recapture the fleeing slaves.<br />\nThe chariots reached the Jews when they were nearing the shores of the Red<br />\nSea. They turned around to see the army of the Egyptians bearing down on<br />\nthem, and were filled with fear. They turned on Moses for bringing them to this<br />\nimpasse.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nBut, it is said that one man, Nachson, took a risk and walked into the sea, and<br />\nthe waters divided. In doing this he acted as a free man. Only after Nachson<br />\nand those who followed him had made their first break with slavery, did the<br />\nwaters divide and drown the army of the Pharaoh.<br />\nThe Jews never forgot the price that the people of Mitzrayim paid for their<br />\nfreedom. We remember tonight by spilling out a drop of wine from our cups as<br />\nwe recite the plagues one by one. In this way we diminish our pleasure, as the<br />\nsuffering of others diminished our joy.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nB) Reader: Now is the time for all of us to tell stories of<br />\nthe making of the world as it was and is, according to<br />\nvarious traditions.<br />\nIn honor of all our cultures’ roots in oral tradition, this Haggadah calls upon<br />\nthose assembled to carry on storytelling based not on a fixed writing but on an<br />\nevolving text which encourages speaking and listening, attentively to history<br />\nand flowing warmly from the moment we share.<br />\nSomeone tell the story of Exodus<br />\nNow it is a story free-for-all!<br />\nThe marvel of creation is an opportunity to celebrate what we have together.<br />\nThe experience of suffering is an opportunity to release oppression that divides<br />\nus.<br />\nSo it was for the people of Mitzrayim in the time of Jewish slavery, so it is today<br />\nfor Jews and all people in a time of ongoing inequity. (8)</p>\n\n<p><br />\nThree conclusions from the Exodus story:<br />\n1) Wherever you live, it is probably Mitzrayim.<br />\n2) There is a better place, a promised land.<br />\n3) The way to this promised land is through the wilderness – there is no<br />\nway to get there except by joining together and marching<br />\n-Michael Waltzer, Exodus and Revolution</p>\n\n<p><br />\nEven though the Torah focuses on the acts of G-d, the<br />\nredemption of the Jews could not have happened without<br />\nthe acts of resistance on the part of the people. When<br />\nPharaoh gives the order to kill all male Jewish babies,<br />\nShifra and Pu-ah, two midwives, do not follow the orders. Rabbinical<br />\ncommentary interprets Pharaoh’s actions as declaring war against the Jews,<br />\nand the midwives’ civil disobedience is the first step of the liberation<br />\nprocess. We are also reminded that we must make noise and protest,<br />\nbefore G-d will join our side.

From the U.S. to<br />\nSouth Africa to Palestine, young people have been, and are, at the forefront of<br />\nmost of the social justice movements on this planet. If there is a mix of ages of<br />\npeople at your seder, perhaps some of the older people would like to practice<br />\nasking questions, and the younger folks would like to respond:<br />\nThe Angry Adult – Violent and oppressive things are happening to me, the<br />\npeople I love and people I don’t even know. Why can’t we make the people in<br />\npower hurt the way we are all hurting?<br />\nHatred and violence can never overcome hatred and violence. Only love and<br />\ncompassion can transform our world.<br />\nCambodian Buddhist monk Maha Ghosananda, whose family was killed by the<br />\nKhmer Rouge, has written:<br />\nIt is a law of the universe that retaliation, hatred, and revenge only continue the<br />\ncycle and never stop it. Reconciliation does not mean that we surrender rights<br />\nand conditions, but means rather that we use love in all our negotiations. It<br />\nmeans that we see ourselves in the opponent -- for what is the opponent but a<br />\nbeing in ignorance, and we ourselves are also ignorant of many things.<br />\nTherefore, only loving kindness and right-mindfulness can free us.<br />\nThe Ashamed Adult – I’m so ashamed of what my people are doing that I<br />\nhave no way of dealing with it?!?<br />\nWe must acknowledge our feelings of guilt, shame and disappointment, while<br />\nultimately using the fire of injustice to fuel us in working for change. We must<br />\nalso remember the amazing people in all cultures, who are working to<br />\ndismantle oppression together everyday.<br />\nMarianne Williamson said:<br />\n“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we<br />\nare powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most<br />\nfrightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and<br />\nfabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of G-d. Your playing<br />\nsmall doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so<br />\nthat other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make<br />\nmanifest the glory of G-d that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in<br />\neveryone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others<br />\npermission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our<br />\npresence automatically liberates others.”<br />\n </p>\n\n<p>The Fearful Adult – Why should I care about ‘those people’ when they don’t<br />\ncare about me? If I share what I have, there won’t be enough and I will end up<br />\nsuffering.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nWe must challenge the sense of scarcity that we have learned from capitalism<br />\nand our histories of oppression. If we change the way food, housing,<br />\neducation, and resources are distributed, we could all have enough.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nMartin Luther King said:<br />\nIt really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an<br />\ninescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny.<br />\nWhatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live<br />\ntogether because of the interrelated structure of reality.<br />\nThe Compassionate Adult – How can I struggle for justice with an open<br />\nheart? How can we live in a way that builds the world we want to live in,<br />\nwithout losing hope?<br />\nThis is the question that we answer with our lives.</p>\n\n<p>Rabbi Abraham Joshua<br />\nHeschel wrote:<br />\nJust to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy. And yet being alive is no answer to<br />\nthe problems of living. To be or not to be is not the question. The vital<br />\nquestion is: how to be and how not to be…to pray is to recollect passionately<br />\nthe perpetual urgency of this vital question.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nAnne Frank wrote:<br />\nIt’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all of my ideals, because they seem<br />\nso absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of<br />\neverything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build<br />\nup my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see<br />\nthe world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching<br />\nthunder, which will destroy us too; I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet,<br />\nif I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty<br />\ntoo will end and that peace and tranquility will return again. In the meantime, I<br />\nmust uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to<br />\ncarry them out.<br />\n<br />\nEach of us bears in our own belly the angry one, the ashamed one, the<br />\nfrightened one, the compassionate one. Which of these children shall we bring<br />\nto birth? Only if we can deeply hear all four of them can we truthfully answer<br />\nthe fourth question. Only if we can deeply hear all four of them can we bring<br />\nto birth a child, a people that is truly wise.</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 Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 200, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Four Adults | Passover haggadah by Paul Browde", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

We refuse to leave behind any of our people who<br />\ndo not look or desire or move or speak or believe the way we do. We refuse to<br />\nbe left behind ourselves. We are powerful agents of change, and we are<br />\ntransforming our cultures to be so just, so free, so beautiful, that we cannot<br />\neven fully imagine them right now.
