The Promised Land

by Nate Auerbach

"God has allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land." — Dr. Martin Luther King, April 3,1968, the night before his death.

The Ten Plagues - Discussion

by Nate Auerbach

While we’re enjoying in the sweetness of wine, we still show sympathy for those that suffered. The joys of just punishment and the need for restraint are vengeful feelings. For your own discussion later during the meal: The traditional Haggadah questions and debates the number of plagues in terms of impact. In this Seder, let's debate violence vs. nonviolence as a way of getting to freedom.  How can we exercise empathy in today’s political climate? How do we show mercy to...

The Ten Plagues

by Nate Auerbach

As we rejoice at our deliverance from slavery, we acknowledge that our freedom came at the cost of the Egyptians’ suffering, for we are all human beings made in the image of God. This year, the term plague hits close to home as we attempt to celebrate amidst an active, festering pandemic. In all other years, we recite each plague as we dip a finger into our wine glasses and pour out a drop. This year, let us pour our drops...

Karpas - the Renewal of Spring

by Nate Auerbach

Passover combines the celebration of an event from our Jewish memory with a recognition of the cycles of nature. As we remember the liberation from Egypt, we also recognize the stirrings of spring and rebirth happening in the world around us. The symbols on our table bring together elements of both kinds of celebration. We now take a green vegetable, representing our joy at the dawning of spring after our long, cold winter, and dip it into salt water, a symbol...

Pour out your wrath / Pour out your love

by Nate Auerbach

Pour out your fury on the nations that do not know you, upon the kingdoms that do not invoke your name, for they have devoured Jacob and desolated his home.  Pour out your wrath on them; may your blazing anger overtake them. Pursue them in wrath and destroy them from under the heavens. Pour out your love on the nations who have known you and the kingdoms who call upon your name. For For they show loving-kindness to the seed of...

Freedom never comes on a silver platter

by Nate Auerbach

Freedom never comes on a silver platter… You don’t get to the Promised Land without going through the Wilderness… Whenever you break out of Egypt you better get ready for stiff backs. You better get ready for some homes to be bombed. You better get ready for some churches to be bombed. You better get ready for a lot of nasty things to be said about you, because you are getting out of Egypt. -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Assimilation and Identity

by Nate Auerbach

"Israel (Jacob) descended to Egypt, resided there in small numbers, and became a great nation—great and powerful and numerous." "They persecuted us... They imposed hard labor on us." How does a minority preserve its identity? What of our identities are shaped by our hardships?

Standing up

by Nate Auerbach

Rabbi Joachim Prinz recalls that in Nazi Germany, Jewish holidays assumed a new importance: No longer were they perfunctory observances of the day. They became part of the context of danger, fear, death and hope in which we lived. Passover was now the great day of hope for delivery from our own Egypt. The whips which beat the naked bodies of Jewish slaves in Egypt were the very same that struck our bodies. Slavery was no longer an abstract term, foreign...

Society and the poor

by Nate Auerbach

We have moved into an era where we are called upon to raise certain basic questions about the whole society. We are still called upon to give aid to the beggar who finds himself in misery and agony on life's highway. But one day, we must ask the question of whether an edifice which produces beggars must not be restructured and refurbished. -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Wisdom for the Journey

by Nate Auerbach

A sense of where you come from as a pathway to who you are as a person and participant in a community. I don’t think you can fully be a member of The Jewish people and, creatively, a member of humanity, without knowing who you yourself are... [To] achieve a deep sense of self is to know your own beginnings... (Rabbi Chaim Potok) “We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from...

Elijah's Cup

by VBS

The prophet Elijah symbolizes the dreams of the Jewish people. Elijah challenged the injustice of the powerful and overthrew worship of idols. He healed the sick and protected the helpless. At the end of his days, Elijah was carried off to heaven in fiery chariot. The prophet Malachi promised that Elijah will return one day to announce the coming of the Messiah, when all the world will celebrate universal freedom. Legend relates that Elijah returns to earth each day to carry...

Getting to Know Each Other

by Mark Hurvitz

We start by getting to know one another: As we embark on our adventure together here tonight, it is possible that some of us do not know each other. Take turns around the table as each person shares his or her name and how it is that she or he has come to this Seder. Because the Seder recounts or Exodus from slavery in Egypt, you might also share: - a value learned from the experience of slavery - an object...

The Passover Symbols

by JewishBoston

We have now told the story of Passover…but wait! We’re not quite done. There are still some symbols on our seder plate we haven’t talked about yet. Rabban Gamliel would say that whoever didn’t explain the shank bone, matzah, and marror (or bitter herbs) hasn’t done Passover justice. The shank bone represents the Pesach, the special lamb sacrifice made in the days of the Temple for the Passover holiday. It is called the pesach, from the Hebrew word meaning “to pass...

The Wandering is Over Haggadah - Maror

by JewishBoston

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. We don’t totally eradicate the taste of the bitter with the taste of the sweet… but doesn’t the sweet mean more when it’s layered over the bitterness? בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל...

The Wandering is Over Haggadah - Cup of Elijah

by JewishBoston

The Cup of Elijah We now refill our wine glasses one last time and open the front door to invite the prophet Elijah to join our seder. In the Bible, Elijah was a fierce defender of God to a disbelieving people. At the end of his life, rather than dying, he was whisked away to heaven. Tradition holds that he will return in advance of messianic days to herald a new era of peace, so we set a place for Elijah...

Nirtzah

by JewishBoston

Nirtzah  marks the conclusion of the seder. Our bellies are full, we have had several glasses of wine, we have told stories and sung songs, and now it is time for the evening to come to a close. At the end of the seder, we honor the tradition of declaring, “Next year in Jerusalem!” For some people, the recitation of this phrase expresses the anticipation of rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem and the return of the Messiah. For others, it is...

The Four Questions

by JewishBoston

The formal telling of the story of Passover is framed as a discussion with lots of questions and answers. The tradition that the youngest person asks the questions reflects the centrality of involving everyone in the seder. The rabbis who created the set format for the seder gave us the Four Questions to help break the ice in case no one had their own questions. Asking questions is a core tradition in Jewish life. If everyone at your seder is around...

Freedom Seder- By Drinking the Fruit of the Grapevine (kadesh)

by Shalom Center

We will drink from four cups of grape juice to honor FOUR STAGES on the path of LIBERATION. These cups are (1) Becoming aware of oppression, (2) Opposing oppression, (3) Imagining alternatives, (4) Accepting personal and communal responsibility to act. ** First: the cup of awareness: learning to recognize the reality of oppression. [Pour cups of grape juice.]
