The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any material used or displayed on or through our Site or the Haggadot.com Services infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on our Site and/or the Haggadot.com Services; the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov for details. DMCA notices and counter-notices regarding our Site and the Haggadot.com Services, or notices concerning trademark use in personalized products we make or in our Site and the Haggadot.com Services, should be sent to:

Before the 4th Cup of Wine

by Melissa Simon

Before we drink from the fourth cup of wine, let us recall why we drink four cups of wine at the Seder. According to the Torah, God sent Moses to the Israelites in Egypt, instructing him to tell them that God had seen their misery, and had heard their cries, and was ready to bring them out of slavery. God's promise was put in FOUR different ways: 1. "I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians." 2....

Seder means "order"

by Melissa Simon

There is a set order for all that we do at the Seder. There are also special Seder foods, each of which reminds us of some part of the Pesach story. At the center of our table is the main Seder Plate, with the following: Z'roa: a roasted bone. This reminds us of the special lamb which was offered on Pesach in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. Baytza: a roasted egg. In ancient times, on each of the three pilgrimage festivals...

Introduction

Shalom and Welcome to our Seder!

by Melissa Simon

We are here to celebrate, once again, the very first festival the Jewish People ever observed. The first Pesach took place in Egypt thousands of years ago. Many Jews consider Pesach the most beautiful of all our holiday; and love it in a special way, and have wonderful Pesach memories.  When we think of Pesach, we think of the warmth and joy of the Seder. The Seder brings together families and friends who eat and drink together, sing and pray together,...

The Kiddush

by Melissa Simon

We have come together to celebrate the oldest holiday on the Jewish calendar. During this Seder service, we shall recall and retell the thrilling story of our ancestors going out from slavery to freedom. As we remember this moving chapter in our people's past, may we learn to appreciate more deeply the freedom we enjoy. May we also learn to care about all those who are not yet free. May we join in working for the day when all people everywhere...

Elijah's Cup

by Melissa Simon

Top of page 36: Legend tells us that on Pesach Elijah appears at every Seder and sips a little wine from "his" cup. But before we welcome Elijah into our home, we must fill his cup with wine so he will have something to sip. Let's each pour a little wine from our own glass into Elijah's cup until it is filled. This helps us remember that we must all contribute our best talents and energies to help fulfill Elijah's promise...

The Women of Passover

by Melissa Simon

Before page 9, fill Miriam's cup and read: We are about to read the 4 questions and then begin the re-telling of the story of our exodus from Egypt. Let's pause for a moment to consider the unsung heroes of the Passover story. Listen for them as we recall our time in Egypt and how we came to be free. Rarely will you hear these women mentioned by name but we all know that without them, we may not be sitting...

Mark Twain's 1899 Harper's Article "Concerning The Jews"

by Melissa Simon

This article was written in 1899 when anti-Semitism was widespread in the United States. Large companies did not hire Jews, Universities either didn't admit Jews or limited their numbers with strict quotas. "Respectable" people like Ford and Edison expressed their anti-Jewish feelings openly. Mark Twain had an answer for them: Written by Mark Twain in Harper's, September 1899 If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust...

ELIJAH's welcome

by Melissa Simon

On our Seder table, there is a large cup of wine which none of us has touched. We have reserved it for a special guest, whose name is "ELIJAH--the Prophet" (Eliahu HaNavi). Our bible tells us many wonderful stories about Elijah. He was a man of great courage, who fought for what is just and right.  According to tradition, Elijah never died. One day he will return, to announce the arrival of a time when all people will live in peace...

That's a Lotta Matzah!

by Melissa Simon

Did you know... ~Only 10 factories in the world produce matzah--three in Israel, two in the US and the rest in Europe. ~For a matzah to be considered kosher (produced or prepared according to Jewish dietary laws) it cannot take more than 18 minutes in total to prepare and bake the flatbread. ~Each matzah has about 800 holes that prevent the dough from rising.
