They stood at high alert, staff in hand and sandals on their feet as they consumed the required meal of unleavened bread, bitter herbs and the roasted meat of the lamb. They were ready to leave Egypt behind and with it their confinement. And all the while, it is unavoidable to say, they waited out the ravages of the tenth plague safe behind their walls marked with the sign that they may be passed over.</p>\n\n<p>Yes, we too are isolated with our households and likely to be so when Passover comes. But as tempting as it is to lean into the imagery of the plague, I do not want to do so. Because Covid19 is a terrible pandemic, but not a plague.</p>\n\n<p>First of all, a plague is a punishment. The word that is used in Hebrew and the etymology of the English word plague both mean a blow that is struck. The Black Death, perhaps the most famous plague outside of the original ten, was also widely understood to be the work of an angry G*d. There are pockets of every faith that would find such an origin for the calamitous effects of Covid19. Still, by and large, those who find themselves in seclusion and trepidation do not see the virus as a Divine punishment.</p>\n\n<p>The most dangerous part of associating Covid19 with the tenth, eleventh or any other Passover plague is not about the malady’s origin, but about our response. When the Israelites sequestered in their home and painted the blood on their door they did it to distinguish themselves from the rest of the households. The mark told the destroyer to move on by and find another home to devastate. To touch someone else.</p>\n\n<p>When those of us fortunate enough to stay home with our loved ones do so, it is instead a recognition that there are no distinctions to the disease except our own age, health and other factors that are not points of identity. And we each know that whatever we do is not primarily for us, but for our neighbors and coworkers and others we do not know. We do not say to the invisible killer  <em>go get someone else, </em> but to each other <em> we are in this together,</em>  flattening a curve which commands us in a way more abstract, yet just as urgent as the One who told Moses and Aaron what was about to occur.</p>\n\n<p>Our houses have no blood on the doorpost, neither for protection nor identification. Our meals are different, our fears and expectations vary, yet our prayers across faiths, beliefs, and doubts are almost the same. We await not a personal or communal salvation, but an all-clear for everyone.</p>\n\n<p>As I imagine sitting at my Passover table with many fewer people in my house, but perhaps many more connected to us from theirs, I think about what we might do when we get to the part about the plagues that struck Egypt. As we take a drop of wine out for each in order to symbolize diminished joy, perhaps we will think also of those who have suffered and succumbed to Covid19. And we will recognize, please G*d, the blessing of being able to once more recount and relive the story of the Israelites and the meal they ate in haste awaiting redemption.</p>\n\n<p>However, most poignant about having a Seder in a house closed off because of the threat of the coronavirus will be the unmistakable teaching that, unlike that midnight in Egypt we, all of us, are in this together</p>", "cliptype": "", "clipsource": null, "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": 129, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Passover and Pandemic | Passover haggadah by Michael Bernstein", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Why tears at this moment of renewal and celebration of life?</p>\n\n<p>The rebirth of the Israelites, so crushed and reduced to dust by generations of slavery, required the revival  of the dry wellsprings of their bodies no less than their souls.  A midrash, rabbinic elaboration, teaches that when the men and women would return from the fields and brickyards weary and caked in mud there was scarcely energy to move, let alone to be moved by desire for each other.  Yet one would show the other their reflection in a little mirror and say \"I am more beautiful than you\" and the other would be drawn in and respond \"no I am more beautiful than you\" and their bodies would awaken, flowing with love stronger than death.</p>\n\n<p>Rebirth is not dry. The spring awakening symbolized by the  karpas cannot be dry either. Salt water may taste a little bitter and too much salt will poison, but salt is also the source of life, the source of flavor.  Not the strangely sterile idea of birth symbolized by a raw vegetable barely felt on the tongue, but the tanginess of life.</p>\n\n<p>Returning to Egypt, when Pharaoh declared the boys be drowned in the waters of the Nile, Amram, the leader of the Israelite community told his people to separate from each other, to no longer come together to bring new children into the world just to have them drowned.  Amram's daughter stood in her father's face and said \"You are worse than Pharaoh! He has condemned the boys but you have condemned any future child.\" Amram relented and returned to his wife Yocheved.  And their defiant daughter Miriam had a younger brother, Moses.</p>\n\n<p>Miriam would help lead her people across the sea and become the keeper of the well of living water.</p>\n\n<p>So salt water for the tears we cried.

Not the taking out of a drop of wine as each plague is said, which can stand out as one of the most powerful moments in the story as we think about how our own celebration of freedom came with the suffering of others. But following that part, the traditional text tells is that one of the sages, Rabbi Yehuda used three words or actually just hebrew letter combinations that were used as mnemonics for the <span>ten</span> <span>plagues</span>. And as we say them, d'tzach, adash, bechav, we take one more drop for each. Why? First of all, why do we make such a big deal about these acronyms at this dramatic moment? And why is it necessary to take more drops out just for this mnemonic device?<br />\n<br />\nI think one answer is actually quite impactful in the world we live in. The names of the <span>plagues</span> themselves, moving from the blood that ran through the Nile to the slaughter of the first born of every Egyptian household, evoke strong images. But the mnemonics are just letters strung together. They are easier to say, easier to remember and make it even easier to forget the devastation each wreaked. And that is the point. We say these letter combinations and take a drop of wine to remind us that even when we use other more anodyne words, euphemisms to describe the <span>plagues</span> it us on us to not let it get too easy.<br />\n<br />\nG*d famously tells the angels who want to sing at the drowning the Egyptian army, that the death of G*d's creatures is an occasion to remember the preciousness of life.  We have an angel eye view, able to watch from anywhere the stories of others, devastation from wars, and statistics that sketch the shape and curve of a global crisis.  We  have no capacity to truly alllow ourselves to feel the sorrow just as we never could truly lean into what even a drop of the suffering in Egypt is like. Certainly it was not covered by a single drop of wine.</p>\n\n<p>Yet at this moment we stop to at least take that much. Ten  for the plagues we name. And a few more to remind us not to hide behind terminology and statistics. A few drops to remind us of the depth of the troubled waters.</p>\n\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 115, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Spilling a Drop By Any Name | Passover haggadah by Michael Bernstein", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

And so the connection to the Greek word </span><span>symposium</span><span>, meaning to recline together.</span></p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Perhaps the seder was the Rabbi’s version of a symposium on the story of the Exodus and the meaning of freedom.  For a long time, however, the idea of leaning is more perfunctory, being particularly prescribed for certain moments in the seder, chiefly the drinking of wine and eating of matza and in some traditions the karpas as well.  Notably, however, the maror, another of the central foods of the celebration, is not eaten while leaning. </span></p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>At first glance, perhaps it is not surprising that we would not consume a  symbol of bitterness in a position of luxury and leisure. However, the counter argument could be made.  After all we lean as we eat matzah, the bread defined by the haste in which the Israelites ate on their last night as slaves.  Is it any more a contradiction to combine leisure and urgency? </span></p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>But the bitter herb is different.  We must eat it to make sure we know what slavery meant. To remember that it was more than just constriction and being controlled, but was a life made bitter by the cruelty of taskmasters and the denial of dignity.   We learn from the bitterness we face and that we recall facing. We respond to the great bitterness that many in the world feel. And we are, as human beings, drawn into the temptation of sinking into that bitterness. Not just swallowing maror, but allowing ourselves to be swallowed whole.</span></p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Instead, the Seder gives us the opportunity to partake of maror but not indulge in it.  Even as we lean into other aspects and lessons of slavery. we do not lean into being the bitterness of our past. </span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Maror", "slug": "maror" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 123, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Not Leaning Into Bitterness | Passover haggadah by Michael Bernstein", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
