I feel like we’ve done some beautiful things together. I mean, we couldn’t have built these pyramids if you weren’t our slaves. And those pyramids wouldn’t be a wonder of the world for years to come if it wasn’t for what we built together.\n\nMoses \nBut now it’s time for us to go.\n\nPharaoh \nBut I think there’s so much more we could still be and do together. We could keep building wonders of the world. We could build a Great Wall or a Hanging Gardens. We could build a Great Library. There’s a site in Alexandria that I think would be perfect for a Great Library.\n\nMoses \nBut me and my people don’t want to do those things. We want to go to our homeland of Israel\n\nPharaoh \nUgh. This homeland. Always with this homeland. You think life’s going to be so much better in this magical homeland? Well, I doubt it.\n\nMoses \nIt’s got to be better than this.\n\nConflict Counselor \nMoses, what happens for you when Pharaoh disregards your wish to go to Israel?\n\nMoses \nIt’s more what happens to him. G-d’s going to keep plaguing him and his people.\n\nPharaoh \nIt’s the worst. First the water turned to blood. Then there were frogs and locusts. And so many other things. So many things.\n\nMoses \nAnd yet you keep resisting what He’s telling you, which is that our relationship is over.\n\nConflict Counselor \nWhy do you keep resisting, Pharaoh?\n\nPharaoh \nMy heart, it just feels hardened.\n\nConflict Counselor \nWhy do you think that is?\n\nPharaoh \nWell, I think I saw Moses’s relatives Jacob and Joseph getting along so well with my Dad, the previous Pharaoh, all those years, and honestly, I feel jealous. Like, why can’t I have that with the Jews, too?\n\nConflict Counselor \nAnd yet, you have the exact opposite.\n\nPharaoh \nIt’s true.\n\nConflict Counselor \nSometimes the best way to love someone is to let them go, Pharaoh.\n\nMoses \nThis is your last chance. You saw what G-d just did to the first born.\n\nConflict Counselor \nSo what will you do, Pharaoh, will you let Moses and his people go?\n\nPharaoh \nOK, Fine, fine, whatever, fine, OK, sure.\n\nConflict Counselor \nThat didn’t sound very sure.\n\nPharaoh \nI’m sure. I am. I’m sure. Just go. Just go.\n\nConflict Counselor\n\nAnd you won’t change your mind?\n\nPharaoh \nAs of this moment. As of this moment, I can promise I won’t change my mind.\n\nConflict Counselor \nMoses, what would happen if Pharaoh changes his mind again?\n\nMoses \nI don’t know. But I don’t think he wants to find out.\n\nPharaoh \nSo this concludes our counseling?\n\nConflict Counselor \nI guess it does. If you think this is a real sea change for you, Pharaoh.

I’m a Jewish man from Santa Monica, California, which, there are a lot of us there, but they’re mostly the kind of Jews that are very unfair to President Trump, and, frankly, don’t understand what the stablest genius I’ve ever met is trying to do with this country, and its illegal immigrants, who are completely different from other immigrants, like the Jews, that came and made this country great. \n\nAnalogously, our G-d, the President of the World, the Leader of the Free Universe, the Commander In Chief of the Cosmos, has instructed us to remove all Hametz from our domain. Many households informally adopt the practice of amnesty for their Hametz. \n\nThese sanctuary households contend that they don’t need to remove what’s not really hurting anyone, what’s been in the domain for a long time, just sitting in the cabinet. They say it’s beneficial to their household to keep their box of Triscuits or their package of Flour Tortillas, because those foodstuffs keep for more than 8 days, longer than the length of Passover, and then can be eaten again afterwards. I enjoy Triscuits. I don’t care for Flour Tortillas. \n\nBut sanctuary households, listen up, removing Hametz is the law of the land. And the law of the land must be followed. No exceptions. \n\nLike undocumented immigrants, all Hametz is illegal and must be removed. Technically, all should be searched for, collected, and burned. But there are some moderates at the table, who think that goes too far. I’m looking at you, Gary Cohn. And so, we say the prayer of the removal of the Hametz:\n\nEVERYONE:\n\nBaruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha’olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al biur hametz.\n\nPraised Are You, Our G-d, President of the World, Leader of the Free Universe, Commander In Chief of the Cosmos, who blesses us with mitzvot and instructs us to remove hametz.\n\nadapted from The Trump Passover Haggadah - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1976722772", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "The Trump Passover Haggadah by Dave Cowen available in full at amazon.com/author/davecowen", "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": 506, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Stephen Miller Removes/Deports The Hametz - The Trump Passover Haggadah | Passover haggadah by Dave Cowen", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

You got this guy, this Moses guy, leading his people. He’s kind of like the Jew President, right? OK, he’s the Jew President, I’m the U.S. President, he’s the Jew President, I’m the U.S. President, so I know a thing or two about this. Some people say, I’m not saying this, but there are people saying, they’re saying, Moses, if you look at it, if you really look at it, he wasn’t such a good leader, not such a good guy, this Moses. I’m not saying that, but many people are. \n\nSome of these people, they wish I had been Moses. They do. They say, if Trump was Moses, if Trump was Moses, they say, the Jews never would have been enslaved in the first place. They say if Trump was Moses, the Jews would have enslaved the Egyptians instead! And we would’ve enslaved them so well, like no one’s ever been enslaved before. No doubt about it. Real tough slavery, folks. The toughest slavery you’ve ever seen. So tough the Egyptians would be the ones wanting to have Seders right now. To celebrate escaping from us. Except, if I was Moses, the Egyptians would never have escaped. So they wouldn’t be having Seders. Because they’d still be our slaves.\n\nBut I’m not saying that. Other people are saying that. Many others. But not me. I will say, you probably wouldn’t have been slaves for two hundred years, if I was leading you, but that’s OK, that’s OK. I’m here now. Can we, can we try something tonight, folks? Can we all pretend I’m Moses. Let’s pretend. Why not? And then I’ll tell you what I’d really do if I was Moses. Everyone close your eyes for the story. Close your eyes, children. Eric, no peeking. So Trump is Moses, Trump’s the leader of the Jewish people, Trump’s a prophet, Trump’s been sent by G-d. Picture that. Not that hard, right? Kind of already what’s going on, isn’t it? But OK, here’s what I’m going to do to about this Pharaoh. This Pharaoh, he’s a real bad hombre. But we’re going to deal with him. Oh boy, we’re going to deal with him, bigly. Because I’m going to do something no one’s ever done. I don’t know why no one’s ever done it before, but, most people aren’t as smart as me, no one is, actually, I’m, like, the smartest guy in history, so that’s probably why they never thought of this. \n\nSo people say, they say, Donald, if you’re Moses, you gotta leave Egypt, you gotta take the Jews out of Egypt, we’ve always left Egypt, that’s just how it’s done. I tell you what, though, if I’m Moses, we’re not leaving Egypt this time. That’s establishment thinking. That’s swamp thinking. And it stops now. We’re gonna make THEM leave. The Egyptians, you hear that? You’re gone, you’re out of here, bye-bye. How are we going to do that? We’re gonna do some real bad things to these Egyptians. The media’s not going to like it. The media’s going to say, \"Oh, you can’t do that to the Egyptian people, Donald, they’ve lived in Egypt for a long time, most of them since they were born, they have rights, too, you know.\" But bottom line? They treated us very unfairly. So they’re gonna get plagued. Serious plaguing, people. No one’s ever seen plagues like these before. Because I’m not just Moses, I’m not just Donald Trump, I’m not just a Prophet sent by G-d. I’m also Hashem, G-d, President of the World, Ruler of the Cosmos, Dictator of the Universe, Blessed am I. That’s right! So I do the plagues, too! I’m going to do it all! I alone can fix this!\n\nInstead of DAM, turning the Egyptians’ water into blood, and TZFARDEAH, releasing frogs on them, and KINIM, infecting them with lice, we’re going to do some actual plaguing. We’re going to pass some common-sense gun laws to keep mentally ill and criminal hands off of weapons and reduce mass shootings in their land. And we’re going to tamper down coal, oil, nuclear, and fracking energy, and release the power of solar, water, and wind energy instead. We’re also going to infect them with a tax reform similar to America’s in the mid-20th century, when taxes were so progressive that it paid for infrastructure and welfare programs that created the best economy for the most amount of its citizens in our history, instead of the best economy for the least amount of its citizens like during the Gilded Age and today. \n\nIt’s gonna be chaos. Turmoil. A total disaster. \n\nInstead of AROV, sending wild beasts at them, DEVER, diseasing their livestock, and SH’HIN, giving them boils, which is some real light-weight stuff, we’re going to give them universal healthcare. It’s going to be so universal, even the boils will be covered. We’re also going to make sure their food and drug regulatory agencies are well-funded and well-staffed, so that their livestock won’t be secretly harboring hormones and other poisonous material that slowly diseases and kills people over a long period of time. And we’re going to send them an actual environmentalist as the administrator of their Environmental Protection Agency, who won’t cut National Park funding, so that the wild beasts have a place to run free, you know?\n\nThis is Egyptian carnage, people. This is scary scary stuff, OK? I don’t have to tell you what kind of results we’re going to see. \n\nInstead of BARAD, thunderstorms of hail, and ARBEH, a dispersal of locusts, and HOSHEKH, darkness for three days, which— I actually kind of like the darkness for three days thing, that’s pretty good. We’ll do that one, and then we’re going to let all of their immigrants, who work hard and enhance the culture of their community, stay. And cut their military budget just 5%, which would provide enough funds for free pre-school and college educations and completely end poverty without raising the debt and without even hurting the military, which would still be the best in the world.\n\nLook, enacting these plagues will be a nightmare. Believe me. The Egyptians will be so determined to leave, even a wall wouldn’t stop them. It’ll be so bad for them, they’re going to drown themselves in the Red Sea.\n\nAnd if that doesn’t work, instead of MAKAT B’KHOROT, the killing of their firstborn, we’re just going to make sure contraceptives are available across the land. It’s much better, because they’ll have a lot less firstborns for us to kill, who their women might not have wanted anyway, because they wanted to have a stable career first, or wanted to make sure they’re with the right partner.\n\nHow about that? The worst, right, folks? There’s never been a leader of the Jewish people who plagued the Egyptians so well. You’re welcome.\n\nMOSES: Hey, Donald!\n\nDONALD TRUMP: Who’s that?! Did you just muss my hair?!\n\nMOSES: I just mussed whatever’s on top of your bulbous head. It’s me, Moses! Sheket bevakasha!\n\nDONALD TRUMP: Moses?! How? What does sheket bevakasha mean?! \n\nMOSES: It’s Hebrew for, \"You’re fired!\"\n\n-\n\n adapted from The Trump Passover Haggadah - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1976722772 ", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "The Trump Passover Haggadah by Dave Cowen available in full at amazon.com/author/davecowen", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "Favorites 2020", "slug": "favorites-2020", "author": "Haggadot" }, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 342, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Donald Trump Tells The Exodus Story - The Trump Passover Haggadah | Passover haggadah by Dave Cowen", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Simple. \"What are the testimonials, statutes and laws commanded of us?\" The Wise Child is wise because she knows not to disobey. She may believe, for instance, that climate change is a real, already-happening, very clear and present danger likely to harm her young children, and billions of non-Trump children.

Good.\n\nTIFFANY TRUMP: I guess that makes me The Wicked Child? Cool. Whatevs. I’m supposed to ask, \"What does this worship mean to you?\" which implies that I’m excluding myself from the ceremony. Well, duh. Like, am I even a Trump? I’m not part of the initial Ivana three or the current Melania one. And Donald only started talking to me again when the R.N.C. told him I needed to be in the pictures. \n\nIVANKA TRUMP: Ah-hem.

At one point, before the Jews’ Exodus from Egypt, when it wasn’t clear if Pharaoh would let them go, the Jewish people decided to put a term limit on how long Moses could be their leader. Even though some Jews thought of Moses as their (ba) rock and their (o) balm (a), they went about holding debates among candidates to see who might take over his position. This is a transcript.\n\nModerator\n\nThe question is simple. And it will go to each of you one at a time. What makes you the right leader of the Jewish People? We’ll start with Joe. Mr. Biden?\n\nJoe\n\nWell, first of all. I just want to say, that, I know Moses well, very well. I worked, hand-in-hand, with Moses, for eight years. I was Moses’ right-hand man, and I have had the privilege of learning from him, directly, how to lead our people. So, I think, what I offer, is a continuation of the leadership of Moses, into the next chapter of our peoples’ history.\n\nMike\n\nAnd yet following Moses’ leadership has not freed us from slavery yet. So why would we want a continuation of Moses’ leadership?\n\nModerator\n\nMr. Bloomberg, what would be your plan to get us out of Egypt?\n\nMike\n\nWell, I think these plagues have been helpful. And Moses’ attempts at dialogue have been helpful as well. But I am the wealthiest Jewish man in Egypt. And I think the real answer is that we should just simply pay the Pharaoh to let us go. This may sound worldly. But money talks. So I’ll make a promise. I am prepared to spend my entire fortune on buying our freedom. Well, part of most of my entire fortune. \n\nElizabeth\n\nMr. Bloomberg, with all due respect, what makes you think money would guarantee Pharaoh lets us go? What would he do for slaves? He can’t pay his people to be his slaves.That would be a whole other system of covert subjugation, by a different name. Which might actually be even more effective and scary, now that I think about it. Hm.\n\nModerator\n\nMrs. Warren, if you don’t think money will convince the Pharaoh to let us go, what will?\n\nElizabeth\n\nI’m glad you asked. I have about fifty plans for this.\n\nModerator\n\nPick one to start.\n\nElizabeth\n\nWell, I think we need to break up the Egyptian business monopolies. The Nile company which Pharaoh owns and made him the wealthiest man in the world, until he had an affair and divorced his wife, and lost a third of that money, point is, we need to regulate that monopoly. If we had regulated the Apple company back in the day, we might still be living in Paradise.\n\nPete\n\nBut, Elizabeth, are you even Jewish? You claim your great grandmother is Jewish. Sure, technically, we all descended from Adam and Eve as you said, but there’s no proof that--\n\nElizabeth\n\nI may not be able to prove that I am 1/16th Jewish, but I didn’t work for the Pharaoh’s Pyramid Wall Street consulting company in my youth. Pete, how do we know that you are a true agent of change, if you were part of the system?\n\nPete\n\nLook at this boyish smile. How could you not trust this boyish smile?\n\nElizabeth\n\nI’m not sure we want a boyish leader. We want an experienced adult.\n\nModerator\n\nTom what do you think?\n\nTom\n\nAbout Pete’s smile? \n\nModerator\n\nI meant about being the next Moses.\n\nTom\n\nRight. Duh. I believe the only way to get us out of Egypt is to convince his people to impeach him. How could they not after all the devastation he has let happen to them?\n\nAmy\n\nHis people will never impeach him. They even tried to this year, but it failed. That’s not a real option.\n\nTom \nAnd what do you think is better, Candidate Klobuchar, working with him, and the Egyptians?\n\nAmy\n\nI do. I am a pragmatist. I still think I can win them over.\n\nBernie\n\nThis is crazy. No one has brought up the ONLY way to solve this problem.\n\nModerator\n\nWhat’s that, Mr. Sanders?\n\nBernie\n\nWe tax the Pharaoh! When I put a 100% wealth tax on him, he’ll want us out of here in a second.\n\nPete\n\nBernie, he’s a tyrant. We’re slaves. We can’t tax him. \n\nJoe\n\nYes, that’s a classic Democratic-Socialist pie-in-the-sky idea.\n\nBernie\n\nYou moderates have no imagination.\n\nElizabeth\n\nLook, I think we can break up some of his companies, but to tax him, that doesn’t seem to be a viable plan, Bernie.

Why do you want to meet with me, Yahweh?\n\nBURNING BUSH\n\nI have seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a land flowing with milk and honey. And I am sending you to Pharaoh to tell him you’re bringing my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.\n\nMOSES \nI’m sorry. You were really cutting out a lot there. I couldn’t quite hear everything you said. Maybe it was something on my end. You want me to lead the Jewish people out of Egypt?\n\nBURNING BUSH\n\nThat’s basically it, yes.\n\nMOSES\n\nPardon your servant, Lord. But I have always been ineloquent and challenged in platforms of communication. Clearly, you can tell from this Burning Bush meeting, which I am having so much trouble with. If this bringing of the Israelites out of Egypt might require new platforms of communication, I’m not sure I can do it myself. \n\nBURNING BUSH\n\nDon’t worry. I will help you and will teach you how to communicate in any new platform that is required during these times. \n\nMOSES\n\nPardon your servant, Lord. But. Please employ someone else. New communication platforms are too difficult for me. \n\nBURNING BUSH\n\nMy anger burns! These are just platforms! They can be learned like anything else?! But fine. Your younger brother, Aaron, the Levite. He is younger, more of a native in these platforms. He is already on his way to help you, and you shall use him to. OK, I have to hop off now.\n\nMOSES\n\nHop off? Are you also a rabbit?\n\nBURNING BUSH\n\nIt’s just a phrase. That we use on this platform sometimes.

Not, uh, you know, too much. But we both dealt with a, a stutter. \n\nIn Exodus, Moses doesn’t think he’s capable or able to lead the Jews out of Egypt, telling G-d: “Please, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since You have spoken to Your servant, for I am slow of speech and tongue.” \n\nIn the past, I didn’t think it was possible that I could be President with my stutter. But I would think back to my mother who would tell me, \"Joey, don't let this define you. Joey, remember who you are. Joey, you can do it.” \n\nSo every time I would walk out, she would reinforce me. I know that sounds silly, but it really matters. \n\nAnyway, sometimes during the debates with You Know Who, I didn’t know if I could get a word out, or even a word in, and I thought I might lose the Presidency because of it, but G-d helped Moses and G-d helped me, too.\n\nG-d helped all of us, I should say.\n\nBecause You Know Who was more than a bit like Pharaoh. \n\nHe just wouldn’t let his office go. \n\nLet it go, we said, let your office go. \n\nBut he wouldn’t let his office go. \n\nDONALD TRUMP: AND I STILL WON’T!\n\nJOE BIDEN: Who let you in here, Donald?!\n\nDONALD TRUMP: McConnell did.\n\nKAMALA HARRIS: Mitch?!

LEVY\n\nHi, Barbara, thanks for having me.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nSo tell us about your big discovery.\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nWell, it’s quite simple really. The Passover story presupposes that the unleavened bread could have risen. But my book asks the question, “Maybe it couldn’t?”\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nSo if the bread couldn’t have risen, even if there had been time, what did happen?\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nMy research suggests that the Jewish people made an error with their sourdough starter.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nThose sourdough starters are very challenging. I’ve been trying to perfect my loaf all pandemic.\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nExactly. Yes, me, too. That’s how I came up with the theory.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nWhat do you mean?\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nBecause of the pandemic, like everyone else, I’ve been unable to leave my house. Or go to the sites in Egypt I normally excavate. So instead I started trying to perfect my sourdough loaf at home. And had tremendous trouble.\n\nWOLF BLITZER\n\nMe, too.\n\nJAKE TAPPER\n\nYes, same with me.\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nWow, this is quite an episode of 20/20 with three Jewish hosts.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nWell, Wolf gave Jake his sourdough “mother” which Jake shared with me, so I only thought it fair to include them.\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nActually, sharing the “mother” is I think where the Jews went awry.\n\nJAKE TAPPER\n\nHow so?\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nIf you overshare the “mother”, the “feedings” or “refreshments” cycles can be skipped or lost.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nMaybe, that’s what’s wrong with mine?\n\nJAKE TAPPER\n\nI fed my “mother” perfectly. If we had problems, Barbara, it must have been Wolf’s fault.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nWell, who did you get your “mother” from, Wolf?\n\nWOLF BLITZER\n\nLarry.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nLarry King?\n\nWOLF BLITZER\n\nYes, may he rest in peace.\n\nJAKE TAPPER\n\nSo since Larry King passed away, may he rest in peace, we can’t find out if the starter went bad with him or before him.\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nAnd that’s the same with my research.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nWhat do you mean?\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nI can’t find out for sure if the starter is the reason the Jews’ bread was unleavened or not.\n\nWOLF BLITZER\n\nWait, you wrote a whole book about your theory without any proof?\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nAnd by proof, we also mean the term for the final rise in baking.\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nWell, as I said, I’ve been unable to leave my home for almost a year now. So I couldn’t excavate the Egyptian sites looking for the starter. And I was just sitting around the house trying to make these troublesome sourdough loaves. So I thought I might as well write a book. Even if it was speculative.\n\nJAKE TAPPER\n\nWell, that’s understandable.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nWhy did I come out of retirement for this?\n\nWOLF BLITZER\n\nIt seems maybe the original Passover story really still is true then.\n\nDR. LEVY\n\nYeah, probably.\n\nBARBARA WALTERS\n\nThat’s it for our show. Thanks, I guess, to Dr. Levy. And to Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper.

It was mine, too. \n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nDo you remember what happened next?\n\n\n\nRICHARD LEWIS\n\nNot really? We were twelve.\n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID \n\nWell, soon after, you became an alcoholic. It messed up your whole life. And later you developed kidney failure from it. And so I gave you one of my kidneys because I thought I found out my Jewish parents adopted me and that I was really a biological Christian, so I lost all of my Jewish neurosis and anxiety and fear about death, but then when I found out I was really still just a Jew and all that neurosis and anxiety and fear of death came back, you still got my kidney even though I didn’t want you to have it anymore.\n\n\n\nRICHARD LEWIS\n\nSo what? What do you want from me? We’ve been friends for over 15 years since then. I’ve said thank you a million times. You’d rather I’d have died?\n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nSometimes! I mean. When are you going to die? Would you just, would you please just die? You have more lives than a litter of cats.\n\n\n\nRICHARD LEWIS\n\nThat hurts, man. Don’t hex, don’t hex my life.\n\n \n \n \n \n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nSorry. The point is: I’m saying all of this happened because of your drinking. Which all started when you were a child, at Passover.\n\n\n\nRICHARD LEWIS\n\nSo you’re saying what? I’m the Wicked Child? And you’re the Good Child for giving me a kidney? If that makes you feel better, go ahead, think that.\n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nNo, old friend. What I think is! What kind of a holiday makes you drink four glasses of wine?! That’s binge drinking! And two nights in a row?! That’s a bender! \n\n\n\nLARRY HANDS RICHARD A BOTTLE OF MANISCHEWITZ FROM THE TABLE.\n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nI’m thinking, how many alcoholics, like you, have been created by this holiday, Passover?\n\n\n\nRICHARD CONSIDERS THIS, GETS A BIT UPSET. \n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nYou know what else I think? I think.

SHE TEACHES AS SHE STARES COMPASSIONATELY INTO LARRY’S EYES:\n\n\n\nRABBI REBECCA\n\nThe Wicked Child is perhaps a misnomer, Mr. David. In Kabbalah, it’s more like The Alienated One. When someone criticizes this holiday like you just did and says, “What does all this mean?” to everyone else, rather than to yourself. You are excluding yourself from--\n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nDon’t you see, I want to exclude myself! I don’t want to be part of this! Any of it! Of any thing!\n\n\n\nRABBI REBECCA\n\nRight, but don’t you see, you’re excluding yourself not just from this ceremony, or this tradition, or this community, and not even just all other people, but in doing so, occluding the experience of the Divine Spark within you, you’re even estranging yourself from your own Self. You are The Good One, everyone can be, but sometimes we just don’t know it, we don’t feel it, what you might call neurosis.\n\n\n\nLARRY REMOVES HIS EYEGLASSES AS HE CONSIDERS HER EXPLANATION.\n\n\n\nLARRY DAVID\n\nSo what is this Divine Spark you keep going on and on and on about?\n\n\n\nLARRY KEEPS HIS TRADEMARK EYE STARE LOCKED ON RABBI REBECCA AND SHE LOOKS COMPASSIONATELY BACK ON HIM.\n\n\n\nRABBI REBECCA\n\nThat’s what The Naive One asks, Mr. David.

What were those plagues of your G-d again anyway, Moses Larry?\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY LOOKS JUST THE SLIGHTEST BIT ANNOYED TO HAVE TO REPEAT THEM.\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nCan I have a wine glass and a plate, Pharaoh?\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\nEgyptian Mocha Joe! Fetch Moses Larry a wine glass and a plate!\n\n\n\nSILENCE.\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nYou sent him to throw Egyptian Jon Hamm in the river, remember?\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\nOh right! Fine, I’ll fetch it myself I guess.\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY FETCHES MOSES LARRY A WINE GLASS AND PLATE. MOSES LARRY DABS HIS FINGER, DROPS WINE FOR EACH PLAGUE.\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nThe Ten Plagues were, are and will always be: DAM, turning your water into blood; TZFARDEAH, releasing frogs on you; KINIM, lice; AROV, wild beasts; DEVER, diseasing your livestock; SH’HIN, giving you boils; BARAD, hail; ARBEH, locusts; HOSHEKH, darkness over you and your land for three days; and finally, MAKAT B’KHOROT, the killing of your firstborns.\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\nBut, wait, if I’m the Shadow of you, all of that suffering from the plagues is happening to you, too?\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nIn a way…\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\n But you’re also suffering as yourself as my slave? And I’d be suffering as my slave myself?\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nIn a way…\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\n But I don’t feel like a slave. I’m the most powerful person in history. So far. I’m confused.\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nIt’s perhaps about how we suffer and why. You perhaps represent the Ego. And every Ego suffers. Even when it doesn’t realize it is or has been. I perhaps represent Essence. And Essence both does and does not suffer.\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\nWhy the hametz does Essence get to not suffer?\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY \n\nBecause it is and knows it is part of and in the hands of G-d and can never truly be hurt or extinguished.\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\nHm, I think I remember Essence once. I was a baby. Playing with my dad. In the crypt. Of a pyramid. He was mummified. Because he was dead. But I felt his Essence. Or mine. Or just the existence of Essence. It was nice. That was before I had to harden my heart to rule. Do things like throw Egyptian Jon Hamm in the river. And enslave you and your people. Or anyone who comments about my baldness. Why do we have to become Egos?\n\n \n \n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nPerhaps the Ego’s suffering is purposeful. It can bring us into knowledge of Essence. And the knowledge of Essence while you also have an Ego is perhaps different from when you were undifferentiated Essence as an unaware baby. As an Ego aware of and in synch with Essence, you can perhaps best serve as an instrument of the Divine.\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\nSo…the plagues, the slavery, all this suffering…it all has a purpose for both Egyptians and Jews, Moses and Pharaoh, me and you, our Ego and our Essence, and I can’t avoid it?\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nI believe so.\n\n\n\nPHARAOH LARRY CONSIDERS THIS…\n\n\n\nTHEN REPLIES:\n\n \n \n\nPHARAOH LARRY\n\nWell, I don’t believe in any of this nonsense. Or in this G-d of yours. Or in any G-d. You and your people cannot leave. And will never leave. I can defeat any so-called plagues myself. \n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY\n\nVery well.\n\n\n\nMOSES LARRY LEAVES TO RETURN TO THE JEWISH CAMP.", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "from Curb Your Haggadah available in full at: amazon.com/author/davecowen", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 187, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Magid - Curb Your Haggadah | Passover haggadah by Dave Cowen", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Or, I wouldn't, I wouldn’t be being true to my roots, to my family, how I was raised, and what I try to teach the next generations.\n\nI guess I’m saying I have some questions.\n\n\n\nRICK RUBIN\n\nIs it four questions by any chance? Would be great to stick to the custom of four questions if possible?\n\n\n\nBARBRA STREISAND\n\nWhat? Really, Rick?\n\n\n\nShe looks at Ye.\n\n\n\nBARBRA STREISAND\n\nI know, we’re supposed to, you know, be more, forgiving, of mental health issues, in, um, this day & age, but, in my generation, it wasn’t, you know, like, a free pass, to, I don’t know, if you have a public platform, bring out the worst in, some, um, very also, um, sick, people, is that, is that OK to say?\n\n\n\nEveryone looks at Ye, he looks maybe a bit ashamed\n\n\n\nRICK RUBIN\n\nI think we actually can use The Four Questions to answer that question, Barbra! Tonight we ask: Why is this night different from all other nights? 1. On all other nights we can eat both Hametz and Matzah, but on this night, only Matzah. 2. On all other nights we eat other vegetables, but on this night, only bitter Maror. 3. On all other nights we don’t dip our vegetables into saltwater (Karpas) even once, but on this night, we do so twice. 4. On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining, but on this night, only reclining.\n\n\n\nBARBRA STREISAND\n\nWhat does this have to do with what I just asked?\n\n\n\nRICK RUBIN\n\nGoing back to Michael L. Kagan’s teachings, the first question about Hametz versus Matzo helps us recognize that we are sometimes trapped as a slave to our Ego (Hametz) and its instinctual demands.\n\n\n\nBARBRA STREISAND\n\nInstinctual demands, huh, that’s what we’re calling this, you know, mentally ill, um, behavior now?\n\n\n\nRICK RUBIN\n\nThe second question about Maror, instructs us to be willing to face the bitter truth (Maror) about ourselves. Of who we are and how we live our lives and our lies. And to practice telling our truth.\n\n\n\nBARBRA STREISAND\n\nSo, as long as, um, mentally ill artists, keep singing about their mistakes, they can keep making them? Even if they really affect others?\n\n\n\nRICK RUBIN\n\nIn the 3rd question about Karpas, we’d hope next we would step into the layers of pain that surround & perhaps produce that behavior & be willing to let the tears of that suffering flow (Karpas). So that the inner bitterness can be miraculously transformed by the sweetness of love & forgiveness (Maror dipped into Charoset). With reclining we let our over-judgmental selves rest. Release attachment to preconceptions & practice acts of loving-kindness, not judging our selves or others.\n\n\n\nStreisand looks at Ye who, might just be, maybe… Ye looks at Streisand who, might just be, maybe…\n\n\n\nBARBRA STREISAND\n\nDoes anyone mind accompanying me on something?

We Don't Talk About Pharaoh (Adapted From We Don't Talk About Bruno)

Haggadah Section: Songs

We Don't Talk About Pharaoh By Dave Cowen
Adapted from “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto

We don't talk about Pharaoh, no, no, no!

We don't talk about Pharaoh. But!

It was our Exodus day

We were getting ready, to leave Egypt and slavery behind

Leave Egypt and slavery behind

Pharaoh walks in with a mischievous grin-

(Darkness!!!)

You telling this story, or am I?

(I'm sorry, ha-chaim sheli, go on)

Pharaoh says, "You’ll stay our slaves."

(But God did for us?)

Egypt’s water, He turned to blood

(Savtala, get the umbrellas!)

Next the frogs, lice, and flies came

(What joyous days... but anyways)

We don't talk about Pharaoh, no, no, no!

We don't talk about Pharaoh!

Jews grew to live in fear of Pharaoh summoning then promising

We could always hear him sort of dissembling and fibbing

Because of him they got the plague of falling hail, ch-ch-ch

You would think pestilence would be so humbling

Yet always to Moses and the Jews he kept fibbing

Grappling with prophecies he couldn't understand

Did not understand

Kind of not to blame

He gets all the flack

When God proclaimed

Pharaoh’s heart be black

Yet, he still did scheme

To keep his regime

Hey!

We don't talk about Pharaoh, no, no, no! (We don't talk about Pharaoh, no, no, no!)

We don't talk about Pharaoh (we don't talk about Pharaoh!)

He told us we could not leave

Firstborn sons: dead! (Whoa, whoa!)

Moses warned he’d grow boils!

And just like He said... (Whoa, whoa!)

God said that all light would disappear, now look as foresaid (Whoa, whoa!)

Your fate’s sealed when the prophecy is said!

God told us the land of our dreams would be promised, and someday be thine

God told us His power would grow, with outstretched arm and strong hand

Oy, Pharaoh’s on his way

God told us as we left, freedom would feel just out of reach

Enslaved all over

It’s like I hear chariots now

My peeps, God wants some faith from you

I can hear chariots now

Uh-oh Pharaoh...

Yeah, about that Pharaoh...

You really need to trust in Hashem...

Gimme that arm and hand for that Pharaoh

(Jewish people, your ruler’s here

Time for capture!)

The Red Sea he came (it was our Exodus day, it was our Exodus day)

To enslave us back (we were getting ready)

he never did change (to leave Egypt and slavery behind)

his heart remained black (to leave Egypt and slavery behind!)

Yet, all God’s plan (Pharaoh arrived with a mischievous grin-)

To part the Red Sea (Locusts!)

You telling this story, or am I?

(I'm sorry, ha-chaim sheli, go on)

God said, “Jews cross the plane.”

In doing so, God floods the terrain

The Egyptians all were slain

That’s why we talk about Pharaoh, oh!

(Every year we talk about Pharaoh?)

Yes, every year we talk about Pharaoh!

(I’m glad we brought up Pharaoh!!!)
