Maror 

Maror

by Katya Rouzina

Dipping the bitter herb in sweet charoset | maror |מָרוֹר In creating a holiday about the joy of freedom, we turn the story of our bitter history into a sweet celebration. We recognize this by dipping our bitter herbs into the sweet charoset. Another interpretation: "I believe that our use of maror at the seder is less about experiencing the hardships of Egypt, but rather an opportunity to experience and reflect how we can meaningfully engage sorrow and pain in both...

-- Ten Plagues 

10 Plagues

by Katya Rouzina

Many Egyptians perished, and their suffering was great. Each time a plague appeared, Pharaoh agreed to let the Jews go. But each time the plague vanished, Pharaoh relented. These are the ten plagues which God brought down on the Egyptians: Blood | dam | דָּם Frogs | tzfardeiya | צְפַרְדֵּֽעַ Lice | kinim | כִּנִּים Beasts | arov | עָרוֹב Cattle disease | dever | דֶּֽבֶר Boils | sh’chin | שְׁחִין Hail | barad | בָּרָד Locusts | arbeh | אַרְבֶּה...

Matzah in Suitcases

by Katya Rouzina

When the war ended, a new strain of anti-Semitism rose up. The secret police would station themselves outside synagogues to intimidate people, says Jeffrey Veidlinger, a professor of Judaic studies and history at the University of Michigan. “You might not be thrown in jail, but your life would be made difficult,” he says, “so Jewish practice mostly moved into the home.” And that included the making of matzah, the flat, dry crackers that Jewish people eat to commemorate the eight days...

Отпусти народ мой! Let my people go!

by Katya Rouzina

«Отпусти народ мой!» - кричал Моисей фараону. Для убеждения понадобились различные чудеса, которые дорого обошлись египтянам: 10 казней (одна из которых смерть первенцев), чудесное рассечение вод Красного моря (когда погиб фараон и его армия) и т.д. И, наконец, свершилось! Мы свободны! "Let my people go!" Moses shouted to the pharaoh. Convincing him required various miracles that cost the Egyptians: 10 plagues (the death of the firstborn among them), the parting of the Red sea (when the pharaoh and his army drowned),...

Четыре вопроса на русском языке- The 4 Questions in Russian

Чем отличается эта ночь от других ночей? Почему во все ночи мы можем есть и хамец, и мацу, а в эту ночь только мацу? Почему во все ночи мы едим разную зелень, а в эту ночь – горькую зелень? Почему во все ночи мы не обмакиваем еду, в эту ночь обмакиваем дважды – карпас в соленую воду и марор в харосет? Почему во все другие ночи мы можем есть и сидя прямо и облокотившись, а в эту ночь все мы едим...

Four Questions-English

Why is this night different from all other nights? On all other nights we eat chametz* and matzah, and on this night only matzah On all other nights we eat all vegetables, and on this night only maror* On all other nights, we don’t dip our food even once, and on this night we dip twice. On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining, and on this night we only recline *leavened products. * bitter herbs

Yachatz 

Yachatz

by Katya Rouzina

Break the middle matzah on the matzah plate. This is called the Yachatz --literally-- the breaking. We break the matzah and hide one part (the Afikomen). We recognize that liberation is made by imperfect people, broken, fragmented — so don’t be waiting until you are totally pure, holy, spiritually centered, and psychologically healthy to get involved in tikkun (the healing and repair of the world). It will be imperfect people, wounded healers, who do the healing as we simultaneously work on...

-- Cup #2 & Dayenu 

Dayeinu

by Katya Rouzina

Dayeinu reminds that each of our lives is the cumulative result of many blessings, small and large. In the song we also remember that besides escaping slavery from Egypt, the Jews have survived many, many times against all odds! As Jews from the former Soviet Union, we are no strangers to resilience. Just talk to anyone of our grandparents' generation! Verse 1 Ilu hotzi- hotzianu, Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim, Dayeinu (If God had only taken us out of Egypt, that would...

Kadesh 

Kiddush

by Katya Rouzina

Pour the first glass of wine (don't drink yet!) Over the course of the Seder we drink 4 cups of wine. This is traditionally done to commemorate the promises G-d made to the people of Israel in Exodus 6:7-6 to free them from slavery in Egypt, to redeem them, to take them as His people, and to be their G-d. The beginning of all journeys is separation. You’ve got to leave somewhere to go somewhere else. It is also the first...

A Child of Survivors Speaks Out

by Rabbi Dr. Bernhard H. Rosenberg

By Rabbi Dr. Bernhard H. Rosenberg       In the Haggadah it states, " It is our duty to thank and to praise in song and prayer, to glorify and extol Him who performed all these wonders for our forefathers and for us. "  I, as a son of survivors thank God for allowing my parents to survive and giving me the opportunity to study and become a Rabbi."             I personally feel no guilt for having the God-given privilege of being alive.  I...

Yakov Birnbaum’s Freedom Ride

by Lily Lozovsky

By Jonathan Mark The Soviet Jewry movement began right here at Columbia, explained Rabbi Sheer, with the first meeting of the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, in April 1964. Four days later, SSSJ (popularly known as "Triple-S-J") held its first demonstration outside the Soviet mission to the United Nations. Of course, a great escape of this magnitude needed many masterminds and accomplices, but in 1964, explained Rabbi Sheer to his students, there was a man named Yaakov (Jacob) Birnbaum, and so...

An immigrant from the Soviet Union Celebrates Her First Passover

by Julie Bolsom

Our First Passover By Natalia Nikova It was April 1980. My mother, my teenage daughter, and I were flying from Rome to New York City. Our journey started two months earlier in Leningrad, where after a long waiting period we were allowed to emigrate. We stayed a week in Vienna and a month and a half in Rome. Our documents were thoroughly checked, fingerprints were taken, and finally we got permission to settle in the United States. Looking out the window...

1st Question: Why is Racism A Jewish Issue?

by Becca Goldstein

American Jews come in all different skin colors, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and ways of practicing Judaism and being Jewish. Regardless of color or country, Jews have been oppressed and discriminated against throughout history. That history of oppression and exclusion, some of it very recent, is embedded in our culture and our hearts. But our story is also complicated, a winding tale of oppression and freedom, of struggle and triumph. How we respond to that story is critical. Rather than isolating...
