Secular Rachtzah

by Haggadot

Once again, we pass around a clean bowl of water to pour over our fingers and a towel for drying. This time we make a blessing. ,בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה עוֹלָמֵנוּ, יָחִיד וּמְיוּחָד אֲשֶׁר לִמֵּד אֶת אֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְאוֹתָנוּ .עַל נְטִילַת יָדָיִם Blessed are you, unique world of ours, for teaching our ancestors and us to make a sacred custom of washing our hands before meals.

Nirtzah, Next Year May We be Free, Hopefully NOT Still Quarantined

by Haggadot

The Nirtzah marks the conclusion of the seder. At this time, we normally look forward to the future and offer a hope that “Next year, we will be in Jerusalem.” This year, with the plague of Corona/COVID-19, we might offer an extra prayer. “Next year, not just in Jerusalem, but also in person, together with our loved ones.”

Maror, Charoset, Korech: What To Do With Our Bitterness

by Haggadot

Plans canceled, flights grounded, businesses closed, stock portfolios plummeting, people suffering. We all have reason to feel a little bitter these days. During Passover, we eat bitter herbs like horseradish to remind ourselves of the hardships of slavery. But we do not allow the bitterness to consume us entirely. After that sting, we mix a little sweetness from the charoset into the maror. We pause and bless the moment of confronting our difficulties, grateful that they too shall pass. Baruch atah...

Rachtzah Or Washing Our Hands Again And Again And Again

by Haggadot

We arrive at a second moment of hand-washing. A practical moment since we are about to begin our meal. However, in this time of constantly washing and sanitizing to protect ourselves and those we love, our hands may feel raw and chapped. We say a blessing after washing to sanctify the act and elevate from the hundreds of other times we have washed our hands today. Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha’olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al n’tilat yadayim.

In Every Generation We Encounter Challenge

by Haggadot

We are instructed every Passover to say that, “Not only one enemy has risen against us, but in every generation there are those who will rise against us.” In 2020 or 5780, it seems a natural enemy has risen against us. For the secular humanists among us, that means we, Jews, and we, the greater humanity, must rally together for the common good. For the Orthodox, conservative, and traditionalists among us, that means we must have faith that G-d will deliver...

The Four Children In The Time Of Corona/COVID-19

Parents, how do we relate and talk to our children in the time of corona/COVID-19? When our children are already not yet used to cleaning themselves or taking necessary precautions? How can we help them grow up healthily, happily, and wisely? Children, it may be time for you to take some more responsibility for your well-being if you are able to. Be The Wise Child and follow the commandments of G-d, your parents and the CDC Don’t be a Wicked Child...

Yachatz: Breaking The Middle Matzah And Not Breaking Down

by Haggadot

Yachatz is where we break the middle matzah, which symbolizes the strength of the Jews to escape from their situation in Egypt no matter what. We, too, are being challenged to dig deep and be strong. Here’s to not breaking under the stress or discomfort of our current situation and maintaining hope that G-d will be there for us in our time of need.

Embracing Karpas as a Herald of Springtime

by Haggadot

Like many Jewish holidays, Passover connects to cycles in nature. Karpas, a green vegetable like parsley or celery, symbolizes springtime. We dip the karpas into salt water, a symbol of the tears our ancestors shed as slaves. As many of us shed tears due to loss of work or of our daily routines, it can be easy to lose sight of the new season beginning just outside our doors. We mix a bit of this symbol of hope and springtime with...

Shehecheyanu Blessing for Reaching this Moment

by Haggadot

The Shehecheyanu is a beautiful and gratitude-centered blessing. It thanks the Divine for sustaining us, maintaining us, and enabling us to reach this moment in life. Especially in these strange and sometimes trying times, we give thanks for the resilience and strength to endure. Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha’olam, shehecheyanu v'ki'manu v'higi-anu laz'man hazeh.

Preparing the Table

by Rabbi Zoë Klein

This is a compilation of ideas to help the seder be fun and engaging for the entire family. Fun ideas for preparing the Passover table: 1. Include a Tzedakka box on the table. Have everyone put money in the tzedakah box before eating. 2. Yemenite Jews line the edge of the table all around with leaves of Romaine lettuce. The lettuce is then used for Maror. 3. Use maps of Egypt, Israel, and the Sinai desert as place mats. 4. Put...

Four Questions (sephardi)

Sephardim recite the Four Questions in the following order: 1. "On all other nights, we do not dip even once. Why on this night do we dip twice?" 2. "On all other nights we eat bread or matzah. Why on this night do we eat only matzah? 3. "On all other nights, we eat all kinds of herbs. Why on this night do we eat only maror? 4. "On all other nights, we eat either sitting or reclining.

Ten Plagues (sephardi)

by Sara Smith

Now let's talk about the ten plagues. There was no dipping of fingers in wine. We were much too refined for that! My mother would walk up to my father with a large bowl and a glass of water. My father would recite the plagues one by one, and for each plague he would pour a bit of wine in the bowl from a special large wineglass, and my mother would pour a bit of the water. It was all done...

Additions to the Seder Plate

by Religious Action Center

Alongside the traditional items on the Seder Plate, try some of these modern additions. Following Operation Solomon, the Ethiopian Jews who arrived in Israel were unable to digest much substantial food. Thus, Israel's doctors fed the new immigrants simple boiled potatoes and rice, until their systems could take more food. To commemorate this at the Seder, you may choose to eat small red potatoes, alongside the parsley, for Karpas. Announce to those present that this is in remembrance of the wondrous...

Commentary / Readings

Four Cups of Wine

by Religious Action Center

While our tradition applies specific meaning to the four cups of wine found within the Passover seder, many modern Haggadot have begun to reinterpret the original four cups. The four cups are derived from four expressions of redemption found in Exodus 6:6-7: “I will bring you out;” “I will deliver you;” “I will redeem you;” and “I will take you.” Due to the positive, redemptive focus of each phrase, each cup could come to represent current groups that need to be...

Ha Lachma Anya/ This is the Bread of Affliction

by Religious Action Center

This reading takes place near the beginning of the Seder in the yachatz section. It provides the primary textual inspiration for feeding the hungry during Passover, as well as calling for an end to slavery, which continues to exist around the world in various forms. It also prompts us to join together with members of the African American community for communal Seders recognizing our common experience of slavery. This passage inspires many of the social justice programs created around the observance...

A Labor Haggadah Companion - Passover Supplement

In every generation, each of us should feel as though we ourselves had gone forth from Egypt. In every generation, each of us should feel as though we ourselves had been freed from bondage. In every generation, each of us should feel as though we ourselves fought for humane conditions in the workplace. God may have freed us from bondage in Egypt with an outstretched arm, but redemption from injustice in the workplace, be it a non-living wage, oppression of undocumented...

Fourth Piece of Matzah

by Religious Action Center

To highlight the continuing existence of slaver, spiritual leaders and families may use the following original prayer, written Rabbi Joel Soffin of Temple Shalom in Succasunna, NJ, while holding up a fourth piece of matzah: "We raise this fourth matzah to remind ourselves that slavery still exists, that people are still being bought and sold as property, that the Divine image within them is yet being denied. We make room at our Seder table and in our hearts for those in...

The Four Questions

This reading allows for much creativity in the text and inclusion of social action themes or questions. Families might permit time for additional questions to be posed to the group, with opportunities for all to answer. Examples might include: 1. Why on this night are some people still enslaved today? 2. Why on this night do so many remain hungry in the world? 3. Why on this night do we invite the hungry and lonely to share our meal? 4.

Four Children

by Religious Action Center

This reading allows for much personal identification and further interpretation in the text. A discussion can take place regarding with which of the four children each guest identifies most, followed by a consideration of which populations are currently “unable to ask,” who might be considered “simple,” and more. Examples for a new set of four children may include: 1. One who sees the pain of others and works to relieve suffering. 2. One who cares only about him/herself. 3. One who...
