Their explanations are largely legal, based upon the position of the Rambam, the Rif, and other sages. For others, the “stealing” or hiding of the afikoman was designed to keep the children awake with play.\n\nIn the outline of the seder ritual, the division of the middle matzah–yahatz–takes place early, before the great declaration, “This is the bread of affliction.” The eating of the retrieved matzah comes after ransoming it from the children at the end of the seder. The ritual of eating the afikoman is called tzafun, which means “hidden.” The afikoman is eaten in silence, without benediction, before midnight. After the afikoman, no food or drink is to be taken except for the final two cups of wine.\n\nParticipant:\n\nBrokenness is a symbol of incompletion. Life is not whole. The Passover itself is not complete. The Passover we celebrate deals with the past redemption of our people from the bondage in Egypt. That redemption heartens us because through its recollection we know that our hope for future redemption is not fantasy. It happened once and to our whole people. A small slave people witnessed the power of a supreme divine agency to snap the heavy chains around our hands, and to break the yoke upon our necks. At the Seder we relate the testimony of this act.\n\nBut it is toward the Passover of the Future that our memories are directed. The redemption is not over. There is still fear and poverty and sickness. There is a trembling on earth. Around us are the plagues of pollution, and images of fiery nuclear explosions in the clouds, not like the cloud of glory and the pillar of fire that led our ancestors through the wilderness. The broken matzah speaks to our times, shakes us by the shoulders and shouts into our hearts, “Do not bury your spirit in history. Do not think it is over, complete, and you have nothing to do but to wait for the Messiah to come, to pray, to believe.”\n\nParticipant:\n\nThe history of our liberation is not for the sake of gloating over the past but for confirmation of our hopes. Even as we retrieve the past, the future is held before us. We begin the story of our past affliction with an appeal for present help and with an eye set upon the future. Three time dimensions are mentioned in one opening paragraph. “This is the bread of affliction that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. All who are hungry, let them come and eat ; all who are in need come in and celebrate the Passover. Now we are here, next year in Israel. ”\n\nThe silence before the breaking of the middle matzah and before the eating of the afikoman suggests that something secret is expressed in the ceremony. We know that the idea of a Messianic era was considered a threat to regimes for whom there was no messiah but the Emperor, no redeemer but Rome. To dream of an era of peace, an end to slavery, is a revolutionary critique of the status quo. Jews disagreed among themselves as to who the Messiah will be or when the Messiah will come, but one thing they all knew. This was not the Messiah, now was not the fulfillment of the Messianic era. In silence, without benediction–for one does not bless that which has not yet occurred–they broke the matzah hidden between the two whole ones, anticipated its recovery, and eating it affirmed their belief in the Passover of the Future.\n\nThe hidden matzah is the greater part. The promise of the future is greater than the achievements of the past. It is no game to keep the child awake. It is the vision of messianic times toward which we live and struggle. Rouse the child from his slumber. Without his find the seder cannot be completed.\n\n DIRECTIONS: After the Afikoman is successfully ransomed back, it is distributed amongst all present and eaten in silence, after which no food may be eaten during the evening. \n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Harold Schulweis", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Tzafun", "slug": "tzafun" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 206, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Tzafun | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Its primary purpose is to retell the ancient story of Israel's redemption from bondage in Egypt and to recall the miraculous events which led to the exodus from an ancient land of slavery. The Bible commands, \"And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: It is because of that which the Lord did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.\" By this the Bible means that young and old should gather on the eve of Passover, in order to relate this chapter of our people's history.\n\nPassover has a message for the conscience and the heart. It commenorates the deliverance of our people from the degradation of slavery and cruel and inhuman tyranny. Although it is the Pharoah of old who is the tyrant of the Haggadah, it is not he alone of whom we speak tonight. We speak this evening of other tyrants and other tyrannies as well.\n\nAlthough we are no longer enslaved in Egypt, our experience shaped and should always shape our interactions with people around the world. We as a people must have \"the outstretched hand\" that G-d had with our ancestors. When people seek refuge, let their wish be fulfilled. That is how we can thank G-d for our freedom, more than anything.\n\nWe welcome our family members and friends from all backgrounds to reflect with us on the meaning of freedom in all our lives and histories. We will consider the blessings in our lives, pledge to work harder at freeing those who still suffer, and begin to cast off the things in our own lives that oppress us.\n\nASSEMBLED:\n\nWe speak of the tyranny of poverty and of the tyranny of privation,\n\nOf the tyranny of wealth and the tyranny of war,\n\nOf the tyranny of power and the tyranny of despair,\n\nOf the tyranny of disease and the tyranny of time,\n\nOf the tyranny of ignorance and the tyranny of color.\n\nPARTICIPANT:\n\nIraqi Jews tell the tale that in one country the king was always chosen in a special way. When the old king died, a bird called the “bird of good fortune” would be released. On whomsoever's head it landed, the people would place the crown making him their next ruler.\n\nOnce the bird of good fortune landed on the head of a slave. That slave had been a simple musician who entertained at the master’s parties. His costume consisted of a feathered cap and a belt made of the hooves of sheep. \nWhen the slave became king, he moved into the palace and wore royal robes. However, he ordered that a shack (a kind of sukkah) be constructed next to the palace and that his old hat, belt and drum be stored there along with a giant mirror.\n\nThe new king was known for his kindness and love for all his people – rich and poor, free and slave. Often he would disappear into his little shack. Once he left its door open and the cabinet ministers saw him don his feathered hat, put on his old belt and dance and drum before the mirror. They found this very strange and asked the king: “After all, you are a king! You must maintain your dignity!”\n\nThe king replied: \n“Once I was a slave and now I’ve become a king. From time to time I want to remind myself that I was once a slave lest I grow arrogant and treat with disdain my people and you, my ministers.”\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "A Different Night; Haggadah for the American Family, 1966; #globalbeitmidrash and #globalteenagershaggadah", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10837/Religious-freedom-under-assault-K1AA258-x-large.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10837/conversions/Religious-freedom-under-assault-K1AA258-x-large-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 275, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Welcome | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

If the Seder falls on a Saturday night, candles are lit after sunset and after Havdallah has been celebrated since we cannot kindle a new flame during Shabbat. \n\nParticipant:\n\nThe earth turns from sunshine to dusk and then to darkness. As darkness descends, we prepare ourselves to light candles to welcome (Shabbat and) the festival of Pesach and as so often before, we assume the task of kindling candles in the night to enlighten the dark corners of our world. As we kindle these lights, we remember that our ancestors discovered freedom in the midst of the dark final night in Egypt. Behind us, though receding into the memories of even the oldest among us, we can still sense the fires of Auschwitz and Hiroshima, and we continue to face the terror of towers falling. We gather tonight to create from fire, not the heat of destruction, but the light of instruction; indeed to see more clearly the wisdom, strength and caring that glows from within each of us.\n\nAs we kindle the candles, we unite and identify ourselves with all Jews in other periods and places of our history. Let the candles we now light be a reflection of the light that shines within each one of us, and let that light radiate throughout our home. We praise the Source of Light that keeps alive the hope of freedom amidst the darkness of oppression.\n\nWOMEN RISE AND SAY:\n\nWe are about to light the candles, officially heralding the beginning of (Shabbat and) this festival night. As we light these candles, we pray that all those suffering in the world find light amid the darkness. We pray that our experience today helps us to ignite the spark of justice within each of us. We pray that we have the strength to carry forth this light into our homes, schools, offices, and houses of worship, creating a beautiful and bold flame that inspires others to work for the freedom and security of all innocent people. May these candles, lit on the Festival of Freedom, bring light into our hearts and minds. May they renew our courage to act for justice and freedom here and now. May they illumine the path to truth, justice and peace. And so we repeat the ancient blessing:\n\nBlessing 1:\n\n If the Seder falls on a Friday night, we add the words in parentheses, Shabbat v'shel, to welcome the sabbath as well as Pesach. \n\nברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר של (שבת ושל) יום טוב\n\n Transliteration: Baruch atah Adonai Elohaynoo melech ha-olam, asher keedshanoo b’meetzvotav v’tzeevanoo l’hadleek ner shel (Shabbat v’shel) yom tov. \n\nEnglish: Blesssed art thou, Lord our God, Whose presence fills the universe, Who has sanctified our lives through Your commandments and commanded us to kindle the Shabbat and festival lights.\n\nBlessing 2:\n\nברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם שהחינו וקימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה\n\n Transliteration: Baruch atah Adonai Elohaynoo melech ha-olam, sheh-hech-chi-ahnoo, vih-kee-yih-mah-noo, vih-hig-ee-ahnoo, lahz-mahn, hazeh. \n\nEnglish: Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who has kept us alive and brought us to this happy moment in our lives.\n\nWomen recite in unison:\n\nMay these candles, lit on the Festival of Freedom, bring light into our hearts and minds. May they illuminate the path to truth, justice and peace. As we light these candles, we pray that all those suffering in the world find light amid the darkness. We pray that our experience today helps us to renew our commitment to act for justice and freedom. We pray that we have the strength to carry forth this light into our homes, schools, offices, and houses of worship, creating a beautiful and bold flame that inspires others to work for the freedom and security of the innocent people everywhere.\n\nMay it be Your will, God of our ancestors, that You grant our families and all Israel a good and long life. Remember us with blessings and kindness. Fill our home with your Divine Presence. Give us the opportunity to raise our children and grandchildren to be truly wise, lovers of God, people of truth, who illuminate the world with Torah, good deeds and the work of the Creator. Please hear our prayer at this time and regard us as worthy descendants of our matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, and let the light of these candle burn and never be extinguished. Let the light of your face shine upon us.\n\nAmen.\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "A Night of Questions, In Search of Freedom, A Growing Haggadah", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10876/candles_0_1.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/10876/conversions/candles_0_1-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 339, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Candle-Lighting | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Four is an important number in the Seder: four cups, four children, four questions, and four matriarchs in the \"Who Knows One?\" song. Four is an important number in Jewish thought as well: the four corners (arbah kanfot) of the talit and the four kinds of fruit from goodly trees for Sukkot.\n\nThere are many explanations offered for the custom of drinking four cups of wine. Some say they represent:\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>the four corners (arbah kanfot) of the talit, four corners of the world or the four compass points for freedom must reign everywhere</li>\n\t<li>the four seasons of the year, for freedom must be guarded at all times</li>\n\t<li>the four sides of a square, suggesting that only freedom brings completeness</li>\n</ul>\n\nThe four cups of wine are also structurally connected to four verbal performances this evening:\n\n<ol>\n\t<li> Kiddush, sanctifying the holiday</li>\n\t<li> Maggid, the storytelling</li>\n\t<li> Birkat HaMazon, completing the Pesach meal; and</li>\n\t<li> Hallel, completing the festival Psalms.</li>\n</ol>\n\nParticipant:\n\nTwo 16th century Kabbalist rabbis offer a different explanation, identifying the Four Cups with the Four Matriarchs of Israel. The Maharal of Prague (famous for the legend of Golem) and Rav Isaiah Horowitz of Tsfat explain:\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>The Cup of Kiddush stands for Sarah who was the mother of a community of converts, believers by choice.</li>\n\t<li>The Cup of Maggid is for Rebecca who knew how to mother both Esav and Jacob, two opposed natures.</li>\n\t<li>The Cup of the Blessing after Eating represents Rachel whose son Joseph provided the whole family of Jacob with bread in a time of great famine.</li>\n\t<li>The Cup of Hallel (Praise) is for Leah who came to realize that the pursuit of the impossible, Jacob's love, must give way to appreciation of what one has. When her fourth child was born, Judah, she praised God: \" This time I will thank God \" (Genesis 29:35).</li>\n</ol>\n\nParticipant:\n\nAbove all, the four cups are traditionally believed to represent the four promises that G-d made to the Israelites (Exodus 6:6-7):\n\n<ul>\n\t<li> Ve-ho-tzei-ti , I WILL BRING YOU OUT</li>\n\t<li> Ve-hi-Tzal-ti, I WILL DELIVER YOU</li>\n\t<li> Ve-ga-al-ti , I WILL REDEEM YOU</li>\n\t<li> Ve-la-kach-ti, I WILL TAKE YOU TO BE MY PEOPLE</li>\n</ul>\n\nWhile on the surface each promise seems to mean the same thing, the subtle differences in language are reminiscent of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and the Israelites readiness to embrace the responsibilities that come with freedom. According to Maslow, basic physiological needs required for survival, air, food, water, clothing, shelter and sleep, must be met before one is able to meet the higher needs for safety and security; love, belonging and acceptance; respect, recognition, sense of accomplishment and self-worth; and finally self-actualization.\n\n<ol>\n\t<li> Ve-ho-tzei-ti , I will bring you out from under the burdens of Mitzrayim, indicates the first step of G-d was to physically free the Israelites from the Land of Mitzrayim and the physical labors and hardships imposed upon them by the burden of slavery.</li>\n\t<li> Ve-hi-Tzal-ti , \"I will deliver you from their bondage,\" indicates deliverance from the psychological bondage experienced as slaves. Even after being physically freed, the Israelites would have still had the mind-set of slaves and needed to understand that they were now safe and secure.</li>\n\t<li> Ve-ga-al-ti , \"I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments,\" conjurs an image of both strenght and protection. When the people are redeemed, they will also be able to think of themselves as free and will no longer have to be passive and obey their masters. Only a free person can think of higher needs such as belongingness, love and self-worth.</li>\n\t<li> Ve-la-kackh-ti , \"I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a G-d,\" foreshadows the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai and the Israelite's spiritual redemption and fulfillment.</li>\n</ol>\n\nParticipant:\n\nG-d also makes a fifth promise: Ve-he-vei-ti ; I shall bring you to the land, but this promise had not yet been fulfilled when our Ancestors left Mitzrayim. The debate over whether this fifth promise should be celebrated by a cup of its own led to the decision to leave the answer to Elijah, herald of the messianic coming. Hence, the custom of Elijah's cup and the messianic fifth cup.\n\nWe are about to partake of the first cup of wine, commemorating G-d's promise, \"I will bring you out from under the burdens of Mitzrayim.\" \n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "A Night to Remember; On Wings of Freedom, Ellen Caplan", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164669/4-cups-of-wine.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164669/conversions/4-cups-of-wine-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Kadesh", "slug": "kadesh" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 294, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Why Do We Drink Four Cups of Wine? | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Some questions we can consider are:\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Why make such a big deal about the separate wicks if they are a single flame?</li>\n\t<li>Which is more important - the separate wicks or the single flame? How does this add meaning to our Passover seder tonight?</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Blessing over Wine\n\nבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּֽפֶן.\n\n Baruch atah, Adonai, Elohaynu melech ha’olam, boray pri hagafen. \n\nBlessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.\n\nThe Blessing over Spices\n\nבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא מִינֵי בְשָׂמִים.\n\n Baruch atah, Adonai, Elohaynu melech ha’olam, boray minay vesamim. \n\nBlessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the universe, Creator of the different spices.\n\nThe Blessing over the Candle\n\nבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא מְאוֹרֵי הָאֵשׁ.\n\n Baruch atah, Adonai, Elohaynu melech ha’olam, boray me’oray ha’aysh. \n\nBlessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the universe, Creator of the fire’s lights.\n\nThe Blessing over Havdalah\n\nבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, הַמַּבְדִיל בֵּין קֹֽדֶשׁ לְחוֹל, בֵּין אוֹר לְחֹֽשֶׁךְ, בֵּין יִשְׂרָאֵל לָעַמִּים, בֵּין יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי לְשֵֽׁשֶׁת יְמֵי הַמַּעֲשֶׂה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, הַמַּבְדִיל בֵּין קֹֽדֶשׁ לְחוֹל.\n\n Baruch atah, Adonai, Elohaynu melech ha’olam, hamavdilbayn kodesh lechol bayn or lechoshech bayn Yisrael la’amim bayn yom hashevi’i leshayshet yemay hama’aseh.Baruch atah, Adonai, hamavdil bayn kodesh lechol. \n\nBlessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the universe, who separates between the holy and the profane; between the light and dark; between Israel and the other nations; between the seventh day and the six days of the week.

As darkness descends, we prepare ourselves to light candles to welcome (Shabbat and) the festival of Pesach and as so often before, we assume the task of kindling candles in the night to enlighten the dark corners of our world. As we kindle these lights, we remember that our ancestors discovered freedom in the midst of the dark final night in Egypt. Behind us, though receding into the memories of even the oldest among us, we can still sense the fires of Auschwitz and Hiroshima, and we continue to face the terror of towers falling. We gather tonight to create from fire, not the heat of destruction, but the light of instruction; indeed to see more clearly the wisdom, strength and caring that glows from within each of us.\n\nAs we kindle the candles, we unite and identify ourselves with all Jews in other periods and places of our history. Let the candles we now light be a reflection of the light that shines within each one of us, and let that light radiate throughout our home. We praise the Source of Light that keeps alive the hope of freedom amidst the darkness of oppression.\n\n\n\n Women rise to light candles and recite the blessings: \n\nTransliteration: Bah-ruch A-tah Ado-noi, Eh-lo-hei-nu Me-lech Ha-olom, A-sher Ki-de-shah-nu Be-mitz-vo-tav, Vi-tzi-vah-nu, Lih-had-leek Nair Shel (Shabbat v)Yom Tov. \n\nEnglish Translation: Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who sanctified us by commanding us to light the (Sabbath and) holiday candles.\n\nOn the first night, we also recite:\n\nTransliteration: Bah-ruch A-tah Ado-noi, Eh-lo-hei-nu Me-lech Ha-olom, She-hech-ee-ah-nu, Ve-ki-yih-mah-nu, Ve-hig-ee-ah-nu, Lahz-mahn Ha-zeh. \n\nEnglish: Blessed are you, Blessed are you, Lord, our God, King of the Universe, who has kept us alive and brought us to this happy moment in our lives.\n\n\n\nWomen recite in unison:\n\nMay these candles, lit on the Festival of Freedom, bring light into our hearts and minds. May they illuminate the path to truth, justice and peace. As we light these candles, we pray that all those suffering in the world find light amid the darkness. We pray that our experience today helps us to renew our commitment to act for justice and freedom. We pray that we have the strength to carry forth this light into our homes, schools, offices, and houses of worship, creating a beautiful and bold flame that inspires others to work for the freedom and security of the innocent people everywhere.\n\nMay it be Your will, God of our ancestors, that You grant our families and all Israel a good and long life. Remember us with blessings and kindness. Fill our home with your Divine Presence. Give us the opportunity to raise our children and grandchildren to be truly wise, lovers of God, people of truth, who illuminate the world with Torah, good deeds and the work of the Creator. Please hear our prayer at this time and regard us as worthy descendants of our matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, and let the light of these candle burn and never be extinguished.

Though the historical origins of dipping Karpas at the seder simply reflect the accepted cuisine of the Greco-Roman symposium, the Rabbis added their own symbolic interpretations in order to connect dipping to the Pesach story. Passover, like many of our holidays, combines the celebration of an event from our Jewish memory with a recognition of the cycles of nature. As we remember the liberation from Egypt, we also recognize the stirrings of spring and rebirth happening in the world around us. The symbols on our table bring together elements of both kinds of celebration.\n\n\n\nParticipant:\n\nPoets throughout history have written songs of joy at the wonder of nature's beauty. It is traditional on Passover, to read from the Song of Songs.\n\n For lo, the winter is past, \n\n The rain is over and gone. \n\n The flowers appear on Earth. \n\n The time of singing is come, \n\n And the voice of the dove is heard in our land. \n\n The fig tree puttest forth her green figs, \n\n And the vines in blossom give forth their fragrance. \n\nParticipant:\n\n My beloved's voice! Look, it's come \n\n Skipping over the mountains, leaping over the hills! \n\n My beloved is like a gazelle, a young deer, \n\n Look! Standing behind our wall, watching at the window, \n\n Peering through the lattice. \n\n My beloved responds to me: Arise my companion, \n\n My splendid one, come away! \n\n For look, winter has passed, \n\n The rain, it has transformed the earth and gone away, \n\n Now buds appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, \n\n The voice of the turtledove is heard in our land! \n\n The fig tree presents her figs, \n\n The blossoming vines uncork their fragrance, \n\n Arise my companion, my splendid one, \n\n Come away! \n\n~ Song of Songs, 2:8-13\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Song of Songs", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164684/song-of-songs.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164684/conversions/song-of-songs-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Karpas", "slug": "karpas" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 229, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Karpas | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

This is traditionally hidden, by the leader of the Seder for the children to “steal” or “find” and then ransom for a something at the end of the Seder. \n\n The smaller piece is put back, between the two matzot. This smaller piece, along with the top matzah is what will be used for the “Motzi-Matzah” and “Korech” \n\nLeader:\n\nI will now break the middle matzah and hide one half for the Afikoman. Children, watch closely! After the meal, you'll have a chance to find the Afikoman which we will all share for our ritual dessert. We can't complete the seder without it! This reminds us that long ago the special gifts brought to the holy Temple in Jerusalem were shared. No matter where people live, sharing bread is a way of saying, \"Your are my friend.\" It is also a way of sharing what we have with others.\n\nParticipant:\n\nThe Pesach story begins in a broken world, amidst slavery and oppression. The sound of the breaking of the matzah sends us into that fractured existence, only to become whole again when we find the broken half, the Afikoman, at the end of the Seder. We are free, but we remember when we were slaves. We are whole, but we bring to mind those who are broken. The middle matzah is broken, but it is the larger part which is hidden. Because the future will be greater than the past, and tomorrow’s Passover nobler than yesterday’s exodus. The prospects for the dreamed future are overwhelming to the point of making us mute. So it is in silence, without blessing, that we break and hide the matzah and long for its recovery and our redemption.\n\nParticipant:\n\nWrapping the matzah in the cover reminds us of our ancestors on their way out of Mitzrayim who wrapped up the dough before it had a chance to rise and carried it with their kneading troughs on their shoulders. It also reminds us that if you are poor, you do not know where your next meal is coming from and, therefore, do not eat everything that is in front of you. You hide a bit of food, a crust of bread, to make sure you won't starve after this meal is over.\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "unknown", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/11128/Yachatz_0.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/11128/conversions/Yachatz_0-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Yachatz", "slug": "yachatz" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 205, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Yachatz | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

In their rush to leave, they did not have the chance to let it rise. Matzah is then the bread of liberation. It is a mark of an exodus whose rapid pace overtook them unprepared. The Egyptians, who enslaved them, suddenly expelled them after God brought the plague on the first born. Yet, “ha lachma,” the first official explanation for matzah in the Haggadah, calls it the “bread of affliction” based on Deuteronomy 16:3, “You shall eat unleavened bread, bread of “oni” (distress) – for you departed from the land of Egypt hurriedly.” Here matzah is a memorial not of liberation, but of slavery. The life of oppression is marked by a pressured, “hurried” pace, for the slaves do not control the rhythm of their existence.\n\n\n\nParticipant:\n\nThe gesture of raising the matzah of poverty and persecution is an allusion to G-d’s lifting up the poor. Before commencing any meal, Rav Huna of Babylonia used to open the door and announce: “Let all who are in need come and eat.” Concern for the needy is characteristic of every Jewish celebration. The Torah emphasizes: “You shall rejoice in your festival – with your son and daughter, your male and female servant, the Levi, the stranger, the orphan and the widow in your communities.”\n\nMaimonides expands and explains this principle: “When a person eats and drinks at the festive meal he is obligated to provide food for the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, along with the rest of the poor and despondent. But whoever locks the doors of the courtyard, and eats and drinks with his wife and children, and does not provide food and drink for poor or suffering people, this is not a “mitzvah celebration” but a “celebration of the belly” and this kind of celebration is a disgrace.” \n\nWe continue this Biblical tradition of hospitality today by collecting money to fund preparations for the holiday by the indigent, and by inviting guests to the Seder table. Communities should provide networks of hospitality so that no Jew, whether a newcomer or an elderly person, need spend the holiday alone and forsaken.\n\n\n\nParticipant:\n\n “This year we are slaves.” What can these words mean?\n\nWe are slaves because yesterday our people were in slavery and memory makes yesterday real for us.\n\nWe are slaves because today there are still people in chains around the world and no one can be truly free while others are in chains.\n\nWe are slaves because freedom means more than broken chains.

Our obligation at this seder involves traveling from slavery to freedom, prodding ourselves from apathy to action, encouraging the transformation of silence into speech, and providing a space where all different levels of belief and tradition can co-exist safely. Because leaving Mitzrayim--the narrow places, the places that oppress us—is a personal as well as a communal passage, your participation and thoughts are welcome and encouraged.\n\nWe remember that questioning itself is a sign of freedom. The simplest question can have many answers, sometimes complex or contradictory ones, just as life itself is fraught with complexity and contradictions. To see everything as good or bad, matzah or maror, Jewish or Muslim, Jewish or “Gentile”, is to be enslaved to simplicity. Sometimes, a question has no answer.

Jacob's blessing was that they should be a blessing, an example to the Jewish people for all time, for they were united in their quest for the good of all, and possessed the strength of character to maintain Jewish values in a non - Jewish environment, thus becoming the benchmark for raising Jewish children. When we bless our daughters, we ask G-d to endow them with the qualities of our foremothers: insightfulness, generosity of spirit, sensitivity, and the ability to lead and inspire others.\n\nWe now invite all parents to bless their children. It is customary for parents to place their open hands on each child’s head and recite the following blessing:\n\nFor boys, the introductory line is:\n\nMay you be like Ephraim and Menashe. \nיְשִׂימְךָ אֱלהיִם כְּאֶפְרַיְם וְכִמְנַשֶּׁה.\n\nFor girls, the introductory line is:\n\nMay you be like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. \nיְשִׂימֵךְ אֱלהיִם כְּשָׂרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֵאָה.\n\nFor both boys and girls, the rest of the blessing is:\n\nMay God bless you and guard you. \nיְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ \nMay God show you favor and be gracious to you. \nיָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וִיחֻנֶּךָּ\n\nMay God show you kindness and grant you peace. \nיִשָּׂא יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלום\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Aish.com; Illustration: REMBRANDT Harmenszoon van Rijn, Jacob Blessing the Children of Joseph", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164721/jacob-blessing-the-children-hp.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164721/conversions/jacob-blessing-the-children-hp-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 300, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Blessing the Children | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

We use three matzot to represent the three religious groupings of the Jewish people: Kohen, Levi and Yisroayl. They are placed together to indicate the unity of the Jewish people. In unity, we find our strength and power to survive.\n\nPARTICIPANT: The Roasted Shankbone, called zeroah. While it does not play an active role in the service, it reminds us of the Paschal Lamb, a special animal sacrifice which our ancestors offered on the altar of the Great Temple in Jerusalem on the Passover. It also reminds us of the lambs' blood used to mark their doorposts so that the Angel of Death passed over their homes on their final night in Egypt. Zeroah can also mean arm; some say it symbolizes the outstretched arm of God.\n\nPARTICIPANT: The Roasted Egg reminds us of the second offering brought to the Temple on Passover. It was known as the \"Festival Offering,\" for it was brought on each of the three festivals - Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot.The roundness of the egg also represents the cycle of life — even in the most painful of times, there is always hope for a new beginning.\n\nPARTICIPANT: The Marror, the bitter herbs, reminds us of the bitterness of slavery, which our ancesters were compelled to endure.\n\nPARTICIPANT: The Charosett is made to resemble the mortar with which our forefathers made bricks for the building of Egyptian cities.\n\nPARTICIPANT: The Karpas, a green vegetable, is used to remind us that Pesach coincides with the arrival of Spring and the gathering of the Spring harvest. In ancient times, Passover was also an agricultural festival and an occasion on which our ancestors gave thanks for the Earth's rich bounties.\n\nPARTICIPANT: The Chazeret, a second bitter herb, is used in korech or the <a href=\"http://www.myjewishlearning.com/texts/Rabbinics/Talmud/Mishnah/Mishnah_and_its_Times/Hillel.shtml\">Hillel</a> sandwich, which consists of matzah and bitter herbs (some add haroset as well).\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Judaismabout.com; Myjewishlearning.com; Haggadah for the American Family", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164722/seder-plate_32.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164722/conversions/seder-plate_32-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 297, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

The sages declare that \"the days of your life\" means the present world and \"all \" includes the messianic era.\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Haggadot.com; Image: by Arthur Szyk: The Rabbis at B’nai B’rak (Lodz) 1935 ", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164723/The-Rabbis-at-Bnai-Brak-Arthur-Szyk%2C-Lodz%2C-1935.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164723/conversions/The-Rabbis-at-Bnai-Brak-Arthur-Szyk%2C-Lodz%2C-1935-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 251, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Rabbis of Benei Berak | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

We might think that \"day\" means that we should tell the story during the daytime but the text also says, \"because of this;\" which means that we must have something that we can point to and we therefore cannot start the seder until the matzo and marror are set out before us, on Passover night when we are obliged to eat them.\n\nמִתְּחִלָּה עוֹבְדֵי עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה הָיוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, וְעַכְשָׁיו קֵרְבָנוּ הַמָּקוֹם לַעֲבֹדָתוֹ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וַיֹאמֶר יְהוֹשֻעַ אֶל כָּל הָעָם, כֹּה אָמַר יי אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל : בְּעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר יָשְׁבוּ אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם מֵעוֹלָם, תֶּרַח אֲבִי אַבְרָהָם וַאֲבִי נָחוֹר, וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים. וָאֶקַח אֶת אֲבִיכֶם אֶת אַבְרָהָם מֵעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר וָאוֹלֵךְ אוֹתוֹ בְּכָל אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן, וָאַרְבֶּה אֶת זַרְעוֹ וָאֶתֵּן לוֹ אֶת יִצְחָק, וָאֶתֵּן לְיִצְחָק אֶת יַעֲקֹב וְאֶת עֵשָׂיו. וָאֶתֵּן לְעֵשָׂו אֶת הַר שֵּׂעִיר לָרֶשֶׁת אֹתוֹ, וְיַעֲקֹב וּבָנָיו יָרְדוּ מִצְרָיִם\n\n Mit'chilah ov'dei avodah zarah hayu avoteinu.

I took your father Abraham from the other side of the river and led him through all the land of Canaan. I multiplied his family and gave him Isaac.

Pharaoh the evil only decreed against the males, but Lavan sought to uproot everything, as it is written \"A wandering Aramean was my father\" [while this makes little sense in English, the free word order of Hebrew and ambiguity of the verb \"'oved\" can be stretched somewhat to mean that an Aramean Lavan tried to cause the loss of Jacob] \"and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there\" (Deuteronomy 26,5). This teaches that he did not descend to live there permanently, but rather temporarily, \"And they said unto Pharaoh: 'To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for thy servants' flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan.

For Pharaoh issued his edict against only the males, but Laban sought to uproot us all, as it is said, ‘An Aramean would have destroyed my father, and he went down to Egypt and he became there a great nation, strong and numerous.’\" \n\nOne of the most difficult texts in the Haggadah is \"arami oved avi.\" The Haggadah includes the Rabbinic interpretation of the verse, reading it as \"An Aramean tried to destroy my father.\" This verse, is at the center of the Haggadah and its rabbinic interpretation differs dramatically from the Torah text. The traditional Haggadah provides a long section of midrash, rabbinic interpretation, in which the verses of Deuteronomy 26:5-8 are examined in light of the spiritual and political history of the Jewish people. \n\nThe midrash tells us that if you change the vowels from \"oved\" to \"ibed,\" the meaning is changed from \"wandering\" to \"destroyed.\" Thus, \" A wandering Aramean was my father\" will read, \"An Aramean tried to destroy my father.\" Jacob lived in Aram, in Mesopotamia, while courting Rachel and Leah and working for their father Laban, an Aramean. Consequently, Laban is usually seen as the Aramean who would have sought to destroy Jacob, reminding us of the treachery of Laban, who tricked Jacob into marrying Leah before Rachel, then tricked him into twenty years of servitude, and finally tried to deny him his dowry. Laban may be viewed as the symbol of everyone who has tried to destroy the Jewish People.\n\nWhile Rashi accepted this reading, Ibn Ezra strongly rejected it, in favor of the interpretation that the verse refers to Jacob, who, when he was in Aram, was lost. Rashbam also rejected Rashi’s interpretation, but argued that the verse more appropriately applies to Abraham, who can correctly be identified as an Aramean.\n\nParticipant:\n\nWhy does the Haggadah consider Laban worse than Pharaoh? \n\nR. Azriel Hildesheimer, a nineteenth century German Rabbi, explains that Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt because Joseph was already there. Joseph had been sold by his brothers into Egypt because his brothers had envied the way their father favored their youngest brother, who was born in Jacob’s old age. Joseph was born in Jacob’s old age because Rachel’s marriage had been delayed. Rachel’s marriage had been delayed because Laban tricked Jacob by giving him Leah rather than Rachel as a wife. \n \nHad Jacob married Rachel first, Joseph would have been the firstborn and his brothers wouldn’t have envied him and wouldn’t have sold him into slavery. If he had not been sold into slavery, Jacob and his sons would not have gone down to Egypt. If they had not gone down to Egypt, their descendants would not have been enslaved under Pharaoh. We learn from all this that if it had not been for the act of deceit of Laban, there would not have been a Pharaoah as we know him.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/11697/aramean.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/11697/conversions/aramean-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 313, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "My Father was a Wandering Aramean? | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

He taught that all those who do not speak of three symbols on Pesach had not fulfilled their obligation to tell the story. These are: Pesach, Matzah, and Marror. \n\n\n\nParticipant (Raise the shank bone):\n\nThe Pesach , or Pascal Lamb, which our ancestors ate during the time the Great Temple stood in Jerusalem; For what reason was it eaten? \n\nThey ate the Pesah because the holy one, Blessed be He, “passed over” the houses of our ancestors in Mitzrayim , as it is written in the Torah: “And You shall say, ‘It is the Passover offering for Adonai, who passed over the houses of the Israelites saving us in Mitzrayim but struck the houses of the Egyptians on the Israelites final night in Mitzrayim . A roasted shankbone,, called a zeroah, is used to represent the Pesach on the Seder Plate. Zeroah also means arm; some say it symbolizes the outstretched arm of God.\n\n\n\nParticipant (Raise the matzah):\n\nWhy do we eat Matzah ?\n\n Matzah commemorates the bread which our forefathers were compelled to eat during their hasty departure from Mitzrayim. There was insufficient time for the dough of our ancestors to rise when the holy one, Blessed be He, was revealed to us and redeemed us. As it is written in the Torah, “And they baked the dough which they brought forth out of Mitzrayim into matzah, cakes of unleavened bread, which had not risen, for having been driven out of Mitzrayim they could not tarry, and they had made no provisions for themselves.”\n\nWe began our Seder with three matzot. We use three matzot to represent the three religious groupings of the Jewish people: Kohen, Levi and Yisroayl. They are placed together to indicate the unity of the Jewish people. In unity, we find our strength and power to survive.\n\n\n\nParticipant (Raise the maror):\n\nWhy do we eat Maror , bitter herbs? \n\nWe eat Maror because the Egyptians embittered the lives of our ancestors in Mitzrayim. As the Torah states, “And they embittered their lives with servitude, with mortar and bricks without straw, with every form of slavery in the field and with great torment.” It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word for embittered is mei-re-ru, the root of the word maror. \n\nIn addition to the Maror , the Seder Plate contains a second bitter herb, Chazeret (raise the Chazeret ), that will soon be used to in korech, or the Hillel Sandwich, which consists of matzah and a bitter herb and sometimes charossett.\n\n\n\nParticipant: \n\nWhile not discussed by Rabban Gamliel, we will also speak of the remaining two symbols on our Seder Plate: the Roasted Egg and the Charossett.\n\n (Raise Roasted Egg.) The Roasted Egg reminds us of the seconded offering brought to the Temple on Passover. It was known as the \"Festival Offering,\" for it was brought on each of the three festivals - Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot. The roundness of the egg also represents the cycle of life — even in the most painful of times, there is always hope for a new beginning. In our family, it is traditional to eat a hard-boiled egg as an appetizer before our main meal.\n\n(Raise the Charossett) This is the Charosett; it is made to resemble the mortar with which our forefathers made bricks for the building of Egyptian cities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164854/rabbi-gamliel.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/164854/conversions/rabbi-gamliel-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 228, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Three of the Symbols of Passover | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Hillel's positive approach to all hardships in life is symbolized in this sandwich. Hillel viewed the bitter parts of his life, particularly the hardships of the poverty that G‑d bestowed upon him, positively. So, while his life appeared difficult, he was able to understand that it was G‑d’s will and ultimately for a good reason. Therefore he placed the bitterness of the bitter herbs inside the freedom of matzah and ate it while reclining.

At the end of his life, rather than dying, he was whisked away to heaven. Tradition holds that he will return to herald in the coming of messianic days and a new era of peace. Thus, Elijah is a symbol of hope to come. \n\nLeader:\n\nAs was the custom of Rabbi Naftali of Ropschitz, we will now pass Elijah's Cup so that everyone here may pour some of their wine into his. As we fill his cup with wine from our cups, we fill it with our own hopes for redemption will be shaped by all of our efforts.\n\nParticipant:\n\nWe are about to open the door in the hope that Elijah the Prophet will enter and announce that the Messiah, a descendant of King David, is about to arrive and usher in the time of redemption for all humanity. But the line of David has become commingled with all other families and we no longer know who his heirs are. It is therefore possible that anyone seated around this very table could be his heir. G-d migh choose any one of us to help redeem the world.\n\nParticipant:\n\nIf Elijah comes tonight, he will announce who has been found worthy to take that role. If he does not come, or if we are not sure whether he has come, we must close the door against anyone who tells us that our society, our people, our world, is messianic, ideal, the best possible. If we cannot see Elijah enter, it means G-d has asked each of us here tonight to help realize the world for which all people yearn. If we have opened the door and looked only upon darkness, we must realize that the darkness calls each one of us to help bring the light.\n\n DIRECTIONS: THE YOUNGEST OPENS THE DOOR FOR ELIJAH WHILE WE ALL SING: \n\nאֵלִיָּֽהוּ הַנָּבִי, אֵלִיָּֽהוּ הַתִּשְׁבִּי,\n\nאֵלִיָּֽהוּ, אֵלִיָּֽהוּ, אֵלִיָּֽהוּ הַגִּלְעָדִי.\n\nבִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵֽנוּ יָבוֹא אֵלֵֽינוּ\n\nעִם מָשִֽׁיחַ בֶּן דָּוִד, עִם מָשִֽׁיחַ בֶּן דָּוִד\n\n\n\n Transliteration: Eliyahu hanavi Eliyahu hatishbi Eliyahu, Eliyahu, Eliyahu hagiladi Bimheirah b’yameinu, yavo eileinu Im mashiach ben-David, Im mashiach ben-David \n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Image: \"Eliyahu Hanavi\" - by Zalman Kleinman; Text: ", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/12556/Elijah_0.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/12556/conversions/Elijah_0-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Bareich", "slug": "bareich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 248, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Cup of Elijah or \"Come in Sweetie Pie Angel\" | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

By adding Miriam's Cup to our Seder table, next to the Cup of Elijah, we draw attention to the importance of Miriam and the other women of the Exodus story.\n\nThe Prophetess Miriam was bold and brave and provided strong leadership and constant encouragement to the Israelites throughout their long journey. She saved Moses from death and led the Israelites in song and dance to praise God for the miracle of splitting the Red Sea. Miriam's Cup is filled with water as a symbol of Miriam's Well. There are many legends about Miriam’s Well. It is said to have been a magical source of water that followed the Israelites for their 40 years in the desert because of the merit of Miriam. The waters of this well were said to be healing and sustaining. Thus, Miriam’s Cup is a symbol of her courage and all that sustains us through difficult times, while Elijah’s Cup is a symbol of a future Messianic time, reminding us that we must achieve balance in our own lives, not only preparing our souls for redemption, but rejuvenating our souls for the present.\n\n DIRECTIONS: Miriam's Cup is lifted and we recite together: \n\nThis is the Cup of Miriam, the cup of living waters. Let us remember the Exodus from Egypt. These are the living waters, G-d’s gift to Miriam, which gave new life to Israel as we struggled with ourselves in the wilderness. Blessed art Thou, Lord our G-d, Who brings us from the narrows into the wilderness, sustains us with endless possibilities, and enables us to reach a new place.\"\n\n\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "miriamscup.com; \"Miriam’s Cup blessing\" 1996 Kol Ishah, Wayland, MA; ", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/111706/Miriam_1.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/111706/conversions/Miriam_1-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Bareich", "slug": "bareich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 244, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Miriam's Cup | Passover haggadah by Jill Maller-Kesselman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Haggadah Section: Tzafun

Participant:

Rabbinic scholars sensed the oddity of reciting a motzi over a broken piece of unleavened bread; they wondered why the middle matzah and not the other two were broken, and why it was broken into two uneven parts with the larger part saved for the afikoman. Their explanations are largely legal, based upon the position of the Rambam, the Rif, and other sages. For others, the “stealing” or hiding of the afikoman was designed to keep the children awake with play.

In the outline of the seder ritual, the division of the middle matzah–yahatz–takes place early, before the great declaration, “This is the bread of affliction.” The eating of the retrieved matzah comes after ransoming it from the children at the end of the seder. The ritual of eating the afikoman is called tzafun, which means “hidden.” The afikoman is eaten in silence, without benediction, before midnight. After the afikoman, no food or drink is to be taken except for the final two cups of wine.

Participant:

Brokenness is a symbol of incompletion. Life is not whole. The Passover itself is not complete. The Passover we celebrate deals with the past redemption of our people from the bondage in Egypt. That redemption heartens us because through its recollection we know that our hope for future redemption is not fantasy. It happened once and to our whole people. A small slave people witnessed the power of a supreme divine agency to snap the heavy chains around our hands, and to break the yoke upon our necks. At the Seder we relate the testimony of this act.

But it is toward the Passover of the Future that our memories are directed. The redemption is not over. There is still fear and poverty and sickness. There is a trembling on earth. Around us are the plagues of pollution, and images of fiery nuclear explosions in the clouds, not like the cloud of glory and the pillar of fire that led our ancestors through the wilderness. The broken matzah speaks to our times, shakes us by the shoulders and shouts into our hearts, “Do not bury your spirit in history. Do not think it is over, complete, and you have nothing to do but to wait for the Messiah to come, to pray, to believe.”

Participant:

The history of our liberation is not for the sake of gloating over the past but for confirmation of our hopes. Even as we retrieve the past, the future is held before us. We begin the story of our past affliction with an appeal for present help and with an eye set upon the future. Three time dimensions are mentioned in one opening paragraph. “This is the bread of affliction that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. All who are hungry, let them come and eat ; all who are in need come in and celebrate the Passover. Now we are here, next year in Israel. ”

The silence before the breaking of the middle matzah and before the eating of the afikoman suggests that something secret is expressed in the ceremony. We know that the idea of a Messianic era was considered a threat to regimes for whom there was no messiah but the Emperor, no redeemer but Rome. To dream of an era of peace, an end to slavery, is a revolutionary critique of the status quo. Jews disagreed among themselves as to who the Messiah will be or when the Messiah will come, but one thing they all knew. This was not the Messiah, now was not the fulfillment of the Messianic era. In silence, without benediction–for one does not bless that which has not yet occurred–they broke the matzah hidden between the two whole ones, anticipated its recovery, and eating it affirmed their belief in the Passover of the Future.

The hidden matzah is the greater part. The promise of the future is greater than the achievements of the past. It is no game to keep the child awake. It is the vision of messianic times toward which we live and struggle. Rouse the child from his slumber. Without his find the seder cannot be completed.

DIRECTIONS: After the Afikoman is successfully ransomed back, it is distributed amongst all present and eaten in silence, after which no food may be eaten during the evening.
