Rehabilitating the Wicked Son

by Leor and Deborah

Rabbi Dr Naphtali Brawer “What is this service to you?” In other words “What is this all about?” And for this, he is humiliated and silenced. We respond with a self-righteous sneer: “Because of this, God did [things] for me, when I left Egypt (Exodus 13:8) for me but not for you, if you were there, you would not have been saved!” If our intention is to shut this child up, that will certainly do the trick. He is unlikely to...

Dayeinu: an immersive Experience

by Leor and Deborah

By Rabbi & Dina Brewer Dayeinu is a highly counter-intuitive hymn. Among its fourteen stanzas it proclaims that: Had God taken our ancestors out of Egypt, but not rescued them at the Red Sea, it would have been sufficient.

The other, comes towards the end of the seder, when we...

What enslaves you today? What's holding you back from being freer, happy, and creative? Dayenu: Enough Identify possible solutions. What can you do to help end your enslavement and reduce that which holds you back from more freedom and creativity? What will help you fight the Pharaohs within? This round can...

Urchatz-Karpas-Yachatz

by Leor and Deborah

Urchatz Ritually wash hands without reciting the blessing. The need for hand washing before eating vegetables is no longer a ritual requirement, however, it is included here in the traditional Seder. At this point we are meant to wash our hands to prepare ourselves for the rest of the Seder that is to come, to purify ourselves. Too often during our daily lives we don’t stop and take a moment to prepare for whatever it is we’re about to do. Let's...
