Introduction 

Pronunciation Guide

by Debbie Frank

Hebrew is often transliterated in this haggadah, so that those who do not read Hebrew letters, may pronounce the Hebrew words. This is a guide to the pronunciation of the letters. a = ah as in father ai = eye as in eye or buy ch or kh = a throat clearing sound, like the Scottish loch or German ach! e = eh as in bed ei = ay as in weigh or stay o = oh as in home

Introduction 

Caged Bird by Maya Angelou

by Debbie Frank

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind    and floats downstream    till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and    his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings    with a fearful trill    of things unknown    but longed for still    and...

Nobody Elected Me To Be Fearful

by Debbie Frank

The current immigration struggles in our country provide us with an opportunity to relate the Passover story to lives we may more clearly envision. Living in our midst are immigrants who live in fear of the threat of forced deportation. The rush with which families are suddenly separated, taken into custody, and deported, brings to mind the rushed exit out of Egypt. On March 7, 2018, the U.S. Attorney General attacked Oakland, California Mayor Elizabeth Beckman "Libby" Schaaf. Mayor Schaaf worked...

There Is Reason To Hope

by Debbie Frank

"I would say that we are not experiencing the best of times. But there is hope in seeing how the public is reacting to it. The Women's March – I have never seen such a demonstration, both the numbers and the rapport of the people in that crowd. There was no violence. It was orderly. So, yes, we are not experiencing the best times, but there is reason to hope that we will see a better day." Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg...

We Keep Rising

by Debbie Frank

Rabbi Michael Adam Latz, Senior Rabbi of Congregation Shir Tikvah in Minneapolis, Minnesota, recently wrote this response to Rev. Martin Niemoller’s piece, as he contemplates the potential for the past to repeat itself, even in the United States of America. First they came for the African Americans and I spoke up— Because I am my sisters’ and my brothers’ keeper. And then they came for the women and I spoke up— Because women hold up half the sky. And then they...

Karpas Kavannah

by 18Doors

Karpas (parsley that is dipped in salt water during the seder) kavannah (spiritual focus)--time for spring awakening, new directions--renewal and bursting forth of new ideas. We take this time to honor others who travel with us from other faiths and cultural traditions. We acknowledge the fact that they bring a new perspective to our lives and a legacy of their own that enriches ours. We are grateful for the growth that we have experienced because they are in our lives. As...

The Orange on the Seder Plate

by Anita Diamant .

EVERY JEWISH FAMILY produces a unique version of the Passover seder—the big ritual meal of traditional foods, served after and amid liturgy, storytelling, and song. We’re all surprised at each other’s customs: You eat lamb? You don’t sing “Chad Gad Ya”? And yet, virtually every seder does share a few common elements. Matzoh crumbs all over the floor. Wine stains on the tablecloth. A seder plate containing the traditional symbols of the holiday: a roasted shank bone and hardboiled egg, recalling...

The Artichoke on the Seder Plate

by 18Doors

The seder plate holds the main symbols of a traditional Passover seder-- the shank bone, egg, karpas, charoset, and maror. The Kabbalists of the Middle Ages added hazeret, another kind of bitter lettuce. And in recent years feminists have added an orange on the seder plate to symbolize women's leadership roles and full empowerment in Jewish life. The artichoke however is a new development. What is an artichoke? Surely a work of God's imagination! Many petals, with thistle and a heart....

Kiddush

by Lisa Marquardt

Kiddush - Wine READER: The joy of Passover is the joy of love; the hope of Passover is the hope of love. Our ancestors suffered the coldness of hate and dreamed of the warmth of human kindness and universal love. And then, after the long winter of their bondage, freedom burst forth upon them like spring. In the rich sweetness of this wine, we celebrate in kinship the love and faith that give life. Love, freedom, and faith in life -...

All Green With Life

by heidi aycock

When we bless the green parsley and dip it in the salty water, we remember the spring, and we remember the long, sad years of our slavery.When we left Egypt,we bloomed and sprouted,and songs dripped from our tongueslike shimmering threads of nectar.All green with life we grew,who had been buried,under toil and sorrow,dense as bricks.All green in the desert we grew,casting seeds at a promise.All green we grew.

The Four Children - AJWS

by Daniel Gropper

At Passover each year, we read the story of our ancestors’ pursuit of liberation from oppression. When confronting this history, how do we answer our children when they ask us how to pursue justice in our time?WHAT DOES THE ACTIVIST CHILD ASK?“The Torah tells me, ‘Justice, justice you shall pursue,’ but how can I pursue justice?”Empower him always to seek pathways to advocate for the vulnerable. As Proverbs teaches, “Speak up for the mute, for the rights of the unfortunate. Speak...

Maggid - Beginning 

The Orange

by Cody Greenes

In the early 1980s, the Hillel Foundation invited me to speak on a panel at Oberlin College. While on campus, I came across a Haggada that had been written by some Oberlin students to express feminist concerns. One ritual they devised was placing a crust of bread on the Seder plate, as a sign of solidarity with Jewish lesbians ("there's as much room for a lesbian in Judaism as there is for a crust of bread on the Seder plate").At the...
