“Each person in every generation must have felt as if personally liberated from Egypt.”

(Mishnah 10:5)

On this night of Passover, we join together as a community not to retell the story of our ancient ancestors, but to relive the story. The festive meal, the powerful story, the familiar rituals—all combine in an evening shared with friends and family intended to remind us of the redemptive power of the Divine.

May we rise from this meal uplifted, our spirits joined in unity and purpose. May we be inspired by the story of this Haggadah, the retelling of the Exodus from Egypt, and may we be able to bring liberation wherever it is needed in the world.

Amen.

Lighting of the Yom Tov Candles

Praised are you, Adonai, our God, Ruler of the universe, who sanctifies us with mitzvot, and commands us to light the (Sabbath and) Festival Lights.

Praised are you, Adonai, our God, Ruler of the universe, for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this joyous day.

The first cup of wine reminds us that God brought us out from under the burdens of Egypt [Exodus 6:6]

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has chosen and exalted us above all nations and has sanctified us with Thy commandments. And You, Adonai our God, has lovingly bestowed upon us (Sabbaths for rest), appointed times for happiness, holidays and seasons for joy, (this Sabbath day, and) this Feast of Matzot, our season of freedom, a holy convocation recalling the Exodus from Egypt. You did choose and sanctify us above all peoples. In Thy gracious love, You did grant us Thy (holy Sabbath, and) appointed times for happiness and joy. Blessed are You, Adonai, who sanctifies (the Sabbath,) Israel, and the appointed times.

You have distinguished and sanctified Thy people Israel with Thy holiness. Blessed are You Adonai our God, who distinguishes between the degrees of holiness.

This is the bread of affliction which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Let all who are hungry come and eat. Let all who are needy come and celebrate the Passover. At present we are here; next year may we be in Israel. At present we are slaves; next year may we be free!

Why is this night

different from all other nights?

On all other nights we eat khametz (leaven) and matzah (unleavened bread). Tonight, we eat only matzah.

On all other nights we eat any kind of herbs. Tonight, we eat maror (bitter herbs).

On all other nights we do not dip our food even once. Tonight, we dip the greens twice. (Once: Greens into salt water. Second: the bitter Maror into the sweet kharoseth)

On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining. Tonight, we all recline.

The following reply is recited in unison:

Once, we were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, but Adonai our God took us out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Had not God taken our ancestors out of Egypt, then we, our children and grandchildren would still be enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt. Even if we all were wise, and perceptive, experienced, and versed in Torah, it would still be our duty to tell about the Exodus from Egypt. The more one talks about the Exodus, the more praise one deserves.

The Four Children

We are taught to teach the Passover story in every generation to our children. Since everyone learns in different ways, tradition instructs us to address the needs of each through the metaphor

of four sons: The Wise, the Wicked, the Simple and the One Who Doesn’t Know How To Ask. The Ballad of the Four Sons is

a modern interpretation of this moment in the Haggadah:

(may be sung to “Clementine” or “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”)

Said the father to his children “At the Seder you will dine, You will eat your fill of Matzah You will drink four cups of wine.”

Now this father had no daughters But his sons they numbered four, One was wise and one was wicked One was simple and a bore.

And the fourth was sweet and winsome, he was young and he was small, While his brothers asked the questions, He could scarcely speak at all.

Said the wise son to his father, “Would you please explain the laws? Of the customs of the Seder Will you please explain the cause?

And the father proudly answered, “As our fathers ate in speed, Ate the Paschal lamb ‘ere midnight And from slavery were freed.

Then did sneer the son so wicked, “What does all this mean to you?” And the father’s voice was bitter As his grief and anger grew.

“If yourself you don’t consider As a son of Israel, Then for you this has no meaning You could be a slave as well.”

Then the simple son said simply, “What is this?” and quietly The good father told his offspring “We were freed from slavery.”

But the youngest son was silent For he could not ask at all, His bright eyes were bright with wonder, As his father told him all:

My dear children heed the lesson And remember evermore What the father told his children Told his sons that numbered four.

So we follow their example And ‘ere midnight must complete All the Seder, and we should not After twelve, remain to eat.

13


The story we tell is the Exodus from Egypt. The lesson we learn is to be open to the possibility of Divine liberation.

(as told by Howard I. Bogot & Robert J. Orkand)

The Torah tells us that our ancestor Jacob moved with his family from Canaan to the land of Egypt in order to find a better supply of food.

In those days, our ancestors were called, “Hebrews.”

The Hebrews were a small group when they arrived in Egypt.

Jacob’s son, Joseph, worked for the Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt. Joseph’s wisdom and skill helped all the people in Egypt. Joseph became an important and respected man. It was the best of times, and the Hebrews grew in number and were happy.

Years passed.

A new Pharaoh, who did not know about Joseph’s good deeds, came to power. Pharaoh was afraid of the large number of Hebrews in his country. Pharaoh was afraid that the Jewish people would turn against him.

The Pharaoh ordered that the Hebrew people become slaves. They were forced to work day and night to make bricks and build cities. It was a terrible time for the Jewish people! The Hebrews living in Egypt cried to God. They wanted to be free! God heard their cries and made the Egyptians suffer terrible punishments:

http://www.tinr.org/worship/sandals-in-exodus/

14


As each of the Ten Plagues is recited, a small amount of wine is spilled from the cup:

Finally, the Pharaoh was convinced that the Hebrew people had to be freed from their slavery and he allowed them to leave Egypt. After they left Egypt, however, the Pharaoh changed his mind. He sent his army to bring the freed Jews back.

The armies of Egypt were behind them and a great sea was in front of them. The sea held them back, but with God’s help the sea parted and our people passed through on dry land. As they stood on the other side of the sea, a new and happy time began for our people. They sang words we still sing today: מי כמכה באלם יי — “Who is like you, Oh God? You are the Eternal One, the One who saved us!”

“Adonai brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and outstretched arm, with great awe, miraculous signs and wonders.”

Indeed, God has bestowed many favors upon us.

Had God brought us out of Egypt, and not split the Sea for us, It would have been enough--Dayeinu!

Had God split the Sea for us, and not led us through it on dry land, It would have been enough--Dayeinu!

Had God led us through it on dry land, and not satisfied our needs in the desert for forty years, It would have been enough--Dayeinu!

Had God satisfied our needs in the desert for forty years, and not given us the Sabbath, It would have been enough--Dayeinu!

Had God given us the Sabbath, and not given us the Torah, It would have been enough--Dayeinu!

Had God given us the Torah, and not brought us into Israel, It would have been enough--Dayeinu!

Rabbi Gamliel used to say: Anyone who has not discussed these three things on Passover has not fulfilled his duty, namely:

Pesakh, the Passover Offering;

Matzah, the Unleavened Bread;

Maror, the Bitter Herbs (Mishnah Pesakhim 10:5)

One raises the shank-bone and says:

Why did our ancestors eat the Passover Offering (Pesakh) during Temple times? It is because the Holy One, Blessed be God, passed over the houses of our fathers in Egypt, as it is written: “You shall say: It is the Passover offering for Adonai, who passed over the houses of the children in Egypt when God smote the Egyptians and spared our houses. The people knelt and bowed down (Exodus 12:27).”

One raises the Matzah and says:

Why do we eat this matzah? It is because Adonai, our God, was revealed to our ancestors and redeemed them from Egypt before their dough had time to rise, as it is written: “They baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened cakes; for they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provision for their journey (Exodus 21:39).”

One raises the Maror and says:

Why do we eat this bitter herb? It is because the Egyptians embittered the lives of our fathers in Egypt, as it is written: “They made life bitter for them with hard labor, with clay and bricks, and with all kinds of labor in the field; whatever work tasks they performed were backbreaking (Exodus 1:14).”

In every generation it is a person’s duty to regard him or herself as though she or he personally had come out of Egypt, as it is

written: “You shall tell your children on that day: This is on account of what God did for me when I came out of Egypt (Exodus 13:8).” It was not only our ancestors whom the Holy One redeemed from slavery; we, too, were redeemed with them, as it is written: “God took us out from there so that God might take us to the land which the Holy One had sworn to our ancestors (Deuteronomy 6:23).”

19


We give thanks to the Source of Freedom which drives us to use our freedom wisely. We are not free merely to exist but to make the world a better, freer place. As we have been redeemed, may we help liberate the down-trodden, grant amnesty to the guiltless, and fight for those who cannot free themselves.

In this spirit, we offer up a psalm of praise (from Psalm 114):

When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob’s household from a people of strange speech, Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel God’s kingdom. The sea saw it and fled; the Jordan turned backward. The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

Let My People Go!

We not only remember that in every generation our people have met with hardship and triumphed, but that so many tribes and peoples worldwide share a similar story. We link our legend with theirs on this day, and pray for redemption for all peoples.

When Israel was in Egypt’s Land — “Let My people go!”

Oppressed so hard they could not stand — “Let My people go!”

Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt’s land Tell ol’ Pharaoh, to let my people go!

“Thus saith the Lord” bold Moses said — “Let My people go!”

If not I’ll smite your firstborn dead — “Let My people go!”


No more shall they in bondage toil — “Let My people go!”

Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil — “Let My people go!”


We need not always weep & mourn — “Let My people go!”

And wear these slavery chains forlorn — “Let My people go!”


21


We now raise our second cup of wine in honor of the miracle of the Passover. We are grateful for the freedom given our ancestors and the gift of our freedom today. As we celebrate this festival today, may we be in good health and spirit when we join together in another year to celebrate Passover again:

Praised are you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

Drink the second cup of wine.

Praised are you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has sanctified us with mitzvot, and who instructs us in the use of our hands.

The second cup of wine reminds us that God delivered us from our bondage [Exodus 6:6]

It is time to now partake in the festive meal. We might have come here this evening as strangers, but through ritual and song, we have formed a community. May the food we share this evening nourish our bodies and our spirits, reminding us that our very presence here this evening is a sign that none of us are alone in the world. May our community be strong, our synagogue vibrant. Although this matzah we share was made in haste, let us take our time and savor the gift of family and friends:

Praised are you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.

Praised are you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has sanctified us with mitzvot, and who instruct us to partake of matzah.

22


https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMGR5hlP92CP79h0ToeulTR9WxpTJbdIFw667GnRhe_GESemTFVQ79YPpm_xO1rEA?key=b3Z0blgtV3h0RG0waEljdlBaNEJ3QzdlQnhNeFF3

Before we enjoy our meal, we once again remind ourselves of the bitterness of slavery and the bitterness that still exists in the world. As we eat this maror, let us be grateful for the gifts that we have, and let its bitterness be diminished as a result:

Praised are you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has sanctified us with mitzvot, and who commands us to partake of maror.

The “Hillel Sandwich” is made by taking the maror and kharoseth and placing both between matzah. Rabbi Hillel is said to have created this custom to remind

us of the bricks and mortar used to build the cities for the Pharaoh.

The meal is now served!

23


http://www.tinr.org/worship/charoset/

Before we conclude our meal, the tzafun—the search for the afikoman—must take place. The Passover seder is modeled after an ancient Roman feast which would have concluded with epikomios (entertainment following the meal). This light-hearted activity taken by the children present keeps them interested in the seder and helps end the dining by providing the “dessert” of this final piece of matzah.

In Deuteronomy 8:10 we read: “And after you have eaten and are satisfied, you will praise Adonai for the good land which has been given to you.” It is

from this that we learn to offer a grace after meals (Birkat Hamazon).

We begin with Psalm 126:

A Song of Ascents. When Adonai brought the exiles back to Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with glad song. Then it was said among the nations: “Adonai has done great things for them.” God had done great things for us, and we rejoiced. Restore our captives, Adonai, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. The farmer bears the measure of seed to the field in sadness, but shall come home with joy, bearing sheaves.

Grace After Meals

28


Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who nourishes the whole world with grace, kindness and mercy. You give food to all creatures, for Your kindness endures forever. Through this great goodness we have never been in want; may we never be in want of sustenance for Your great name’s sake. Adonai is the God who sustains all, does good to all, and provides food for all the creatures which God has created. Blessed are You, Adonai, who sustains all.

29


For everything, Adonai our God, we thank You and bless You. May Your name be continually blessed by all forever, as it is written: “After you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless Adonai your God for the good land which has been given to you.” [Deut. 8:10] Blessed are You, Adonai, for the land and the food.

30


Rebuild Jerusalem, the Holy City, speedily in our days. Blessed are You, Adonai, who will rebuild Jerusalem in mercy. Amen.

May the One who creates peace in the heavenly heights, grant peace for us, for all Israel, and for all the world; and let us say: Amen.

Adonai will give strength to our people; Adonai will bless our people and all peoples with peace.

31


We now raise our third cup of wine. This cup reminds us that God will redeem us with an outstretched arm. [Exodus 6:6]


Drink the third cup of wine.

The fourth cup of wine is poured. A cup of wine is also poured in honor of the Prophet Elijah

who embodies the hope for a Messianic Age. As we open the door to the outside to welcome Elijah in,

may we be suffused with the drive to fight injustice wherever it may be.

We give thanks to God for God is good and God’s love is everlasting!

Before we drink the fourth and last cup of wine, we reflect on the four ways in which God promised to redeem our ancestors:

“I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.” “I will deliver you from their bondage.” “I will redeem you with an outstretched arm...”

and with this fourth cup,

“I will take you to be My people.”

Each cup has been one of liberation, each reminding us of the joy freedom brings, and each moving us to work for the day when all peoples shall be one and at peace.


Drink the fourth cup of wine.

35


The seder concludes with festive songs and a great hope: “Next Year in Jerusalem.” May we see a united Jerusalem soon in our days!

God of might, God of right, We sing of Your glory; And give praise in these days, for those times You set us free, As we hear, year by year, Freedom’s wondrous story. Now as werst, when Thou first Mads’t the proclamation, warning loud ev’ry proud, Ev’ry tyrant nation We Thy fame still proclaim, Bow’d in adoration.

Be with all who in thrall To their tasks are driven; By Your power speed the hour When their chains are riven; Earth around will resound Joyful hymns to heaven.

Who Knows One?

The seder is a time not only to give thanks for our freedom from slavery, but the freedom to freely observe and learn about our Judaism. This song is a test of our Jewish knowledge! See

how well you do, and see if you can get to the end in one breath!

Khad Gadya - One Little Goat

This cryptic song, reminiscent of “I Knew an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” is a symbolic history of the Jewish people, who are represented by a little goat. The two zuzim (gold

coins) are the two Tablets of the Covenant. And then the cat, Assyria; the dog, Babylon; the stick, Persia; the fire, Macedonia; the water, Rome; the ox, the Saracens; the butcher,

the Crusaders; the Angel of Death, the Turks. At the end, God returns to send the Jews back to Israel.

Khad Gadya, Khad Gadya My father bought for two zuzim.

Khad Gadya, Khad Gadya

Then came the cat that ate up all the lamb my father bought for two zuzim.

Then came the dog that bit, bit, bit the cat that ate up all the lamb my father bought for two zuzim.

Then came the stick and beat, beat, beat the dog that bit, bit, bit the cat that ate up all the lamb my father bought for two zuzim.

Then came the fire and burnt up all the stick, that beat, beat, beat the dog that bit, bit, bit the cat that ate up all the lamb my father bought for two zuzim.

Then came the water and put out all the fire…

Then came the ox and drank up all the water…

Then came the butcher and slaughtered up the ox…

Then came the Angel of death and killed the butcher…

Then came the Holy One, blessed be God! and destroyed the Angel of death…
