It's through rituals like this that we hope to form the strands of our life into a family that's woven together for all the time we can know.

Three of them are braided tightly together. By participating in the symbolic actions of the Seder tonight we can share in the experience of the natural world around us, the liberation of the Jewish people, and the spiritual redemption of each individual human being.</span></span></p><p><span><span>Whatever our luck, privileges, or work have brought, it is part of the reality of being human to begin this evening shackled in some way.

But Pesach is but the pointer to the acceptance of our commitments to complete these tasks—an early harvesting of the fruits of our labors yet to come.</span></span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Modified version of Mark Horvitz's introduction", "featured": 1, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 360, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Madrigal Family Introduction | Passover haggadah by Alexis Madrigal", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

You’ve got to leave somewhere to go somewhere else. It is also the first step towards freedom: You ignore the voice of Pharaoh inside that mocks you, saying, “Who are you to begin such a journey?” You just get up and walk out.</p>\n\n<p>This is the first meaning of the word, “Kadesh” -- to  <em>transcend</em>   the mundane world. Then comes the second meaning: Once you’ve set yourself free from your material worries, you can return and  <em>sanctify </em>  them. That is when true spiritual freedom begins, when you introduce a higher purpose into all those things you do. </p>\n\n<p>Kiddush (the blessing over wine) |  <em>kadeish</em>  | קַדֵּשׁ  </p>\n\n<p>All Jewish celebrations, from holidays to weddings, include wine as a symbol of our joy – not to mention a practical way to increase that joy.
