10 Modern Plagues

by Hank Finkel

Like the plagues of our ancestors' time in Egypt, modern life has it's plagues as well. In this ritual the cup of wine we enjoy at this seder is diminished because, in our times as well, freedom, health and lives of others are curtailed. Each drop of wine we pour represents the hope and prayer that people will cast out the plagues that threaten everyone everywhere they are found...beginning in out own hearts. > > The making of war > the...

Motzi-Matzah

A Symbol Of Hope

by Erica Berkowitz

Matzah. It’s flat, it has holes in it, it breaks easily, it crumbles, it’s bitter, and it’s nothing creative, yet Jewish people and Non-Jewish people that observe Passover eat it every day for at least 8 days out of the year. Sometimes more. “Something second hand and broken, still can make a pretty sound, and that second hand white baby grand still has something beautiful to give.” Megan HiltyEvery year we look at Matzah like it’s nothing special. But it represents...

TOGETHER

by Erica Berkowitz

when we dip the parsley into the salt water we are told that we taste the tears that our ancestors wept during slavery. But why don’t we taste the tears of happiness? Why only the tears of misery? After all, the tears of happiness are what signified the hope that we are a free people. Good always comes at the end. If it’s not good, it’s not the end. The Israelites made it out of Egypt together, so let’s taste the...

SYMBOL OF THE WINE

by Erica Berkowitz

Wine can symbolize many things. The first glass of wine symbolizes hope. When Moses started to plead for freedom, the reality of possibly being free became believable. This first glass of wine symbolizes the hope that this Seder will be over and we can eat food. Had we not had this vary sip of the wine, the reality that this Seder will end, would have seemed like a dream far out of reach. Had Moses not plead for freedom, it would...

TOGETHER

by Erica Berkowitz

Together as we wash our hands, they move into the bowl of water, and back out of the water. Why do we do this? Are our hands really getting clean without soap? We won’t be eating for some time, why do we do this so early? The washing of our hands suggests that we are open to question. One question that is always asked is about hope. Rick Recht answers in his song: This is the hope that holds us together,...
