Poem of Shifra, The Midwife

by Haggadot

SHIFRA, THE MIDWIFE, SPEAKS TO THE PROTESTERS OUTSIDE PLANNED PARENTHOOD Exodus 1:17 “The midwives feared G‑d, so they the disobeyed king of Egypt, and allowed the boys to live.” These days, my primary business is smuggling. Any baby boys born must find safe hiding before dawn, the new mothers allowed little more than a glance, a soft kiss, before heading back to their huts.

Poem Of Miriam

by Haggadot

Miriam, daughter of Yocheved Miriam is a ballsy backbeat, a clash of tambourine and quick thinking, the hero who comes too early in the story and who only speaks to Gd off-camera. She’s a mouthy bitch, that Miriam, leader of the girl gang; when they dance, the seas shake. Mothers fall to their knees. While Moses is off performing magic tricks and bargaining, Miriam shouts a litany of curses in the vague direction of heaven, thinking Maybe I’m Coming For All...

Poem of The Plagues

Dam. The water ran thick and red with silt, undrinkable. We clenched fists of mud and cursed the drought, the desert. It didn't seem like revenge. Tzfardeah. When there is no water, and the frogs spawn under the parching sun, you begin to wonder what god is experimenting with your sanity. Kinim. Nobody spoke of the lice, but smeared mud and garlic under our robes, made excuses in bed. Arov. Then came the swarm, which carried - Dever. it must have...

Poem for Unlikely Victories

by Haggadot

And G!d says: sometimes, the victory isn’t written for many generations. Sometimes, freedom feels like the dread of being unable to turn back. Sometimes, an entire generation dies on an endless trek through the desert and nobody is willing to call it a victory until the survivors write the book of it. And G!d says: Miriam and her dancers were among the first to reach the other side, all nimble feet and bangles, the hems of their skirts wet with salt....

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...

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...

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...

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. How...

Four Children

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...

Maggid/The Narration

by Religious Action Center

Amidst the retelling of the exodus from Egypt, additional stories can be shared surrounding the oppression or redemption of other peoples, such as the rescue of Ethiopian Jews10 during the 1980’s, the emigration of Soviet Jewry during the 1970’s and 1980’s, and current groups still found in slavery, such as those in Sudan. Those who hold Black/Jewish Seders often focus on this portion of the Haggadah to tell the common story of slavery and freedom. A Common Road to Freedom: A...

Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough

by Religious Action Center

This song, found in the Seder, thanks God for the myriad miracles that took place at the time of the Exodus. “Dayenu” can also allow us to express our gratitude for all that has taken place in recent times. In 1988, CLAL (The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership) produced this modern version of Dayenu to recall the many miracles of the modern state of Israel. This reading speaks of the Jewish community’s custom of reaching out to those in...

Ten Plagues

by Religious Action Center

As we recite the plagues, we pour out ten drops of wine, lessening our joy, to remember the plagues set upon Egypt. In today’s world, there are many societal cruelties and injustices that can cause us to diminish our joy. Many Haggadot contain listings of modern day plagues, such as AIDS, breast cancer, child poverty, domestic violence, environmental destruction, homelessness, homophobia, hunger, illiteracy, and racism. Families can discuss their “top ten” societal ills and discuss ways we can work to prevent...

Cup of Elijah

By way of example, North Shore Congregation Israel of Glencoe, IL’s Women’s Seder includes the following passage to be read while opening the door for Elijah. This reading reminds us that there are still injustices based on gender, and that we must continue to...

Potatoes on the Seder Plate

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.

Miriam’s Cup

by Religious Action Center

This new custom celebrates Miriam’s role in the deliverance from slavery and her help throughout the wandering in the wilderness. An empty cup is placed alongside Elijah’s cup. Each attendee at the Seder then pours a bit of his/her water into the cup, symbolizing Miriam’s life-giving well that followed the wandering Israelites. With this new custom, we recognize that women are equally integral to the continued survival of the Jewish community. With a social action lens, we see the pouring of...

Rebirth and Renewal with Hebrew

In ancient times our people were farmers and shepherds. In this festive season, we are meant to feel a connection with the food we eat from the land and to remember that we are surrounded by blessings and miracles no less majestic than those our ancestors witnessed thousands of years ago. Spring reminds us that we are again given a chance for renewal; a new chance to create peace and goodness in our world. We dip karpas - greens - to...
