In the next page we'll look at a Pardes section on Elijah. Tonight, we are also considering the prophet Miriam. Miriam prophesied \"My mother is destined to give birth to a son who will save Israel\". Miriam's mother later gave birth to Moishe (Moishe House, woo!). <br />\n<br />\nA Midrash teaches us that a miraculous well accompanied the Hebrews throughout their journey in the desert, providing them with water. This well was given by God to Miriam, Moses’s sister, the prophetess, to honor her bravery and devotion to the Jewish people. Both Miriam and her well were spiritual oases in the desert, sources of sustenance and healing. Her words of comfort gave the Hebrews the faith and confidence to overcome the hardships of the Exodus.</p>\n\n<p>We fill Miriam's cup with water to honor her role in ensuring the survival of the Jewish people. Like Miriam, Jewish women in all generations have been essential for the continuity of our people. As keepers of traditions in the home, women passed down songs and stories, rituals and recipes, from mother to daughter, from generation to generation.<br />\n<br />\nWe place Miriam's cup on our Seder table to honor the important role of Jewish women in our tradition and history, whose stories have been too sparingly told.<br />\n<br />\nMiriam's life is a foil to the life of Elijah. Elijah was a hermit, a visionary, and prophet, often very critical of the Jewish people, and focused on the world to come. Miriam lived among her people in the desert, constantly encouraging them throughout their long journey. Elijah's cup is a symbol of future messianic redemption, while Miriam's cup is a symbol of hope and renewal in the present. Both are important: we need both Elijah's cup and Miriam's cup at our Seder table.</p>\n\n<p>During Bareich in a conventionally ordered seder, we say thanks for the food we just ate. In this reverse seder, we'll now go around the room and say something we are grateful for - be it the food we are about to eat, or something else in life.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "MoHoLo Reverse Seder", "slug": "moholo-reverse-seder", "author": "Moishe House London" }, "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": 343, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "4.

That's a messy Koreich, but don't worry, there's two hand washings coming up soon!</p>\n\n<p>As we eat the Koreich, we read a text giving credits for the recipe of this sandwich to Hillel. Why Hillel?</p>\n\n<p>Hillel is a major figure in the rabbinic walk of fame. Descended from King David, he is often referred to for his qualities of wisdom, humility and compassion. In the tractate Avot (like a guide on ethics), he is quoted saying “be of the disciples of Aaron, loving peace and pursuing peace, loving people and bringing them closer to the Torah”. The Jewish concept “ <em>rodef shalom</em> ”, peace pursuer (more than builder) is rooted in his teaching. It is also said of his students that “they were agreeable and humble, and when they taught the law they would teach both their own opinions and the opinions of (their opponents). They even prioritized the statements of (their opponents).”</p>\n\n<p>Hillel is the model we refer to when seeking the ability to reconcile different truths towards peace. His name is associated with the commitment to honour complexity in life, to acknowledge that “these and those are the words of the living God”. Any experience, idea, longing – be it as positive as Redemption – is made of the combination of differences. The seder in general brings together differing, if not <em>opposing things</em> :</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Joy of redemption and sadness of affliction;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Memories and compassion with hunger and a festive meal;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Jewish particular memories and values and a universalistic commitment;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Repeating old texts every year and making them fresh every year, etc.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Korech, this part of the seder, is the sandwich version of this view on life. We walk into Hillel’s step and combine different concepts towards one horizon. We bring different elements together into one redemptive bite.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "MoHoLo Reverse Seder", "slug": "moholo-reverse-seder", "author": "Moishe House London" }, "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": 340, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "7.

The bitter taste is meant as a reminder of the hardship experienced by the Israelites in slavery. This empathy can be extended to considering the suffering of those who are still enslaved or in bonded labour. Slavery and trafficking for the purpose of labour can take many forms and covers a wide range of industries from textiles to shing and manual labour in factories or on farms. Debt bondage is a specific form of slavery in which a person is employed to pay off a debt, but ‘the value of these services as reasonably assessed is not applied towards the liquidation of the debt or the length and nature of those services are not respectively limited and defined’ . While we recall the Biblical Exodus story and the slavery and bitter hardships it describes, we should be aware that these conditions and experiences still exist in our world.</p>\n\n<p>We will revisit human trafficking in our section on the 10 plagues.</p>\n\n<p>בּרוּךְ ַאָתה יי ֱאלֹ ֵהינוּ ֶמֶלךְ ָהעוָֹלם, ֲא ֶשר ִקְד ָשנוּ ְבּ ִמ ְצווָֹתיו, ְו ִצָוּנוּ ַעל ֲאִכיַלת ָמרוֹר.</p>\n\n<p>Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al achilat maror.</p>\n\n<p>[Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Sovereign of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments and ordained that we should eat bitter herbs.]</p>\n\n\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "MoHoLo Reverse Seder", "slug": "moholo-reverse-seder", "author": "Moishe House London" }, "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": 334, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "8.

Judaism is well aware of this, as we are reminded by the fact that meals are started by a solemn, communal blessing over bread. More painfully, some rules also limit Jews possibility to eat bread together with non-Jews. This comes from the concern to keep Jews separated from their non-Jewish neighbours and acknowledges how transformative the experience of sharing a meal can be in a friendship.</p>\n\n<p>This is for the generic bread part. But what is specific about matsa within the pessah picture? Matsa is an unfinished process: it is bread that we started baking but did not finish, for lack of time in the original story. Eating it is a reminder that Redemption is also an unfinished process. It is the first day of the rest of our lives rather than an ending point. It is not an achievement but a responsibility we are given, to take it further, step by step and to pay it forward.  Next up in the Jewish calendar is Shavuot, the giving of the Torah.

Some denominations have supported discontinuing the practice of  <em>mayim acharonim</em>  on the grounds that the rabbis of the Talmud instituted it as a health measure, and since modern foods no longer contain preservatives so dangerous as to cause blindness upon contact with the eyes, washing the hands after meals is no longer required and can be discontinued by contemporary rabbinic decision.</p>\n\n<p>Tonight, we've emphasised washing after the meal above washing before the meal, as a result of our reverse seder!</p>\n\n<p><strong>Blessing:</strong></p>\n\n<p>Blessed are you, O Lord, our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us through your commandments and has commanded us concerning the washing of hands\"  </p>\n\n<p><strong>בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה הָ׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל נְטִילַת יָדַיִם</strong> ‎</p>\n\n\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "MoHoLo Reverse Seder", "slug": "moholo-reverse-seder", "author": "Moishe House London" }, "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": 377, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "10.

But all of that is for another story. In the meantime, Happy Passover!<br />\nNARRATOR 2: And Miriam took a timbrel – which is another word for a tambourine – in her hand; and all of the women went out after her with their timbrels and danced and sang. This kicked off a trek of forty years through the desert.<br />\nMIRIAM: That was a miracle! We made it across the Red Sea! I don’t know what God has in store for us next, but at last, we are free!<br />\nNARRATOR 1: It was amazing. When Moses raised his rod, the water of the sea parted, and the children of Israel walked across on the ground at the bottom of the sea. They were totally fine. But when Pharaoh’s armies followed to catch them, the waters closed in and Pharaoh’s armies were drowned.<br />\nGOD: Moses! Lift thy rod and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go across the sea safely.<br />\nNARRATOR 2: Then God spoke to Moses.<br />\nAARON: Don’t be afraid. God has handled things for us before, and I don’t think he would have made all those plagues just to have us die at the edge of the Red Sea now.<br />\nMIRIAM: Look! The Egyptians are coming! They will kill us all! They will work us to death! Moses, do something!<br />\nNARRATOR 1: So once again, Pharaoh had hardened his heart. He got his army together and went after the Jews. Because they were walking and had a lot of kids with them who were slow walkers, the Jews had only gotten a few miles away from Egypt and they were really close to the Red Sea.<br />\nPHARAOH: I have just let my slaves all go. This is not good for the people of Egypt. All that my forefathers have worked for will vanish if I lose the Hebrew slaves. Who will build the cities? The entire economy of Egypt will collapse. It will be the end of an empire. I WANT THEM BACK!<br />\nNARRATOR 2: Most of the Jews went with Moses and Aaron. But some felt the whole idea of leaving their homes and going some unknown land was crazy, so they stayed in Egypt. But meanwhile…<br />\nMOSES: F-f-f-forget the bread, let’s go!<br />\nMIRIAM: Moses, if we leave right now, the bread won’t have time to rise.<br />\nAARON: He won’t change his mind. Not this time.<br />\nMOSES: We m-m-m-must go fast! We must m-m-m-make food, but… but… we must go before… before… Pharaoh changes his mind again.<br />\nAARON: Listen to me everyone! Remember this day, when you were able to leave Egypt, we were slaves and now we are going to be free and God will guide us out of here to the Promised Land.<br />\nNARRATOR 1: So Aaron and Moses left Pharaoh and went to the Jews.<br />\nPHARAOH: Be gone already! You and your people! You have ruined my empire.<br />\nAARON: But Pharaoh, now that you have seen how powerful God is, will you let my people go?<br />\nPHARAOH: Go away! Go away and leave me to my grief!<br />\nAARON: Pharaoh, the grandfather my brother once loved, we are truly sorry for your loss.<br />\nNARRATOR 2: God then came to Moses and instructed him to have all the Jewish people slay a lamb and smear some of its blood on the doorposts of their houses and gates. Then, when the Angel of Death flew over Egypt, he took the lives of all of the firstborn, except for those in the homes marked with blood. Pharaoh’s own son died. It was devastating. The people of Egypt were mourning. Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh yet again.<br />\nPHARAOH: I do not know your God, and I will not let your people go. Get out of my house! GET OUT!<br />\nAARON: Pharaoh, our God is all-powerful! We don’t know what we can do to make you see thatyou must give in. We’re warning you now that God has told Moses what the next plague will be. He’s going to kill the firstborn of every Egyptian household, including your youngest son. Pharaoh, don’t let this happen! Let my people go!<br />\nPHARAOH: Who is this God of yours? How is it that each of these plagues only affects the Egyptians and not the Hebrews!? Get out!<br />\nNARRATOR 1: But the crazy thing was, after each plague, Pharaoh would call Moses and Aaron to the palace and tell them that if their God made the plague stop, the Jews could leave Egypt. So God would end the plague, and then Pharaoh would harden his heart and change his mind, keeping the Jews in bondage. It was a mess!<br />\nNARRATOR 2: So between the cattle disease, which ruined the meat, and the hail and locusts which wrecked the crops, Egypt was in bad shape. People were hungry. Then came the plague of darkness. The sun never rose, and people were frightened and cold. The plagues were spreading fear and sickness across Egypt.<br />\nNARRATOR 1: The next plague God sent was lice....people and animals all got lice. Then flies everywhere. Then cattle disease...so all the cows got sick and died, then boils… terrible blisters on everyone… then hail fell from the sky – big pieces of hail, as big as ping-pong balls. Then locusts, which ate the plants, including all of the crops.<br />\nNARRATOR 2: Soon, Egypt was overrun with another of God’s plagues… frogs. Wherever you looked, there were frogs all over the land. As you can imagine, it was awful. So Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron back to the palace and told them he would now allow the Jews to leave Egypt. But when they were ready to leave, Pharaoh changed his mind again. This happened every time!<br />\nPHARAOH: I will take my chances. Now get out of my palace, and tell the Jews to get back to work!<br />\nMOSES: B-b-b-ut Pharaoh, m-m-m-ore terrible things will happen to the Egyptian people if you do not let us go!<br />\nPHARAOH: Not so fast. I realized that when you go I will have no one to build my pyramids. So I have hardened my heart and changed my mind. You need to stay.<br />\nAARON: Yes, Pharaoh? We were just leaving.<br />\nPHARAOH: Get Moses and Aaron back here!<br />\nNARRATOR 2: So Aaron and Moses left the palace and told the Jewish people to start getting ready for their journey. But then…<br />\nPHARAOH: Fine, then go.<br />\nAARON: Yes, of course. We don’t want to harm your people, we just want to leave and be free.<br />\nPHARAOH: OK, this is horrible! The Nile River has turned to blood, and it’s your fault! Everyone is freaking out. Maybe your God is powerful after all. If I let your people go, will he turn the river back to water?<br />\nNARRATOR 1: To punish Pharaoh for his refusal to let the Jews go, God turned the water of the Nile to blood. It was horrible. Everyone needs fresh water to live, and instead of water, the entire river ran red with blood. Pharaoh was furious, and he called Moses and Aaron back to the palace.<br />\nPHARAOH: There is no way I am going to do that! I don’t know this God you are talking about, and I will not let your people go. Now get out of my palace!<br />\nAARON: Pharaoh, if you do not release the Hebrews, Egypt will be smitten with a greater plague than it has ever before seen.<br />\nPHARAOH’S YOUNG SON: I thought I was his brother!<br />\nAARON: I am Aaron, Moses’s brother.<br />\nPHARAOH’S YOUNG SON: Moses! I missed you! (Looks at Aaron.) Hey, who are you?<br />\nAARON: You cared for my brother for many years. At one time, he loved you as a grandfather. But he is the son of a Hebrew slave. If you love him, you will let his people go.<br />\nPHARAOH: LOL. That is really amusing, guys. So, Moses, back after all of these years to bring shame on your own house and your own grandfather?<br />\nAARON: Pharaoh, we are here to demand, in the name of our all-powerful and all-knowing God, that you release the Hebrew people from bondage.<br />\nNARRATOR 2: And so Moses and Aaron went to the people of Israel and convinced them that God had spoken to Moses. Then they went to see Pharaoh at the palace.<br />\nGOD: Your brother Aaron speaks well, right? He will have to help. I will only speak to you, but you can tell Aaron what I said, and he can be the one who speaks to Pharaoh and the people.<br />\nMOSES: Puh-puh-puh-please send s-s-s-someone else…<br />\nGOD: You’re right, it will not be easy. I forgot to mention Pharaoh is not going to simply agree to let his slaves go free. He will take some convincing, and it will not be pretty.<br />\nMOSES: That is c-c-c-c-crazy. They’ll n-never l-listen and besides, I am s-s-s-s-s-low of s-s-s-p-p-peech and s-s-s-s-low of t-t-tongue.<br />\nGOD: Just tell the Children of Israel, also known as the Jews, also now known as the slaves, that they need to listen to you, because you speak for me. Tell them to leave their homes and everything they have always known and follow you to the wilderness.<br />\nMOSES: Whah-what shhhould I t-t-t-ell the p-p-people?<br />\nGOD: Fear not – I will be with you.<br />\nMOSES: B-b-but why should… I mean, why, why should I be the one t-t-to lead m-m-my people?<br />\nNARRATOR 1: It’s important to know that Moses stuttered whenever he spoke, so he was always nervous to speak in public.<br />\nGOD: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry. I have come to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that place unto a good land, flowing with milk and honey. Now, Moses, I need you to go back to Pharaoh and tell him to let the Jews go free and then you will need to lead the Jews out of Egypt.<br />\nMOSES: Here I am.<br />\nGOD: Moses! Moses!<br />\nNARRATOR 2: Moses followed the sheep and came across a burning bush. It was the craziest thing. This green bush was on fire, but instead of burning up and getting all crinkled and then black, it stayed green. This was, of course, a miracle. It was God, getting Moses’s attention so that he could talk to him. It worked.<br />\nSHEEP: I said, “Baaaa!”<br />\nNARRATOR 2: One fine morning, one of Moses’s sheep strayed a bit from the path.<br />\nSHEEP: Baaaa<br />\nNARRATOR 1: And so Yocheved’s son, Moses, grew up as the Pharaoh’s adopted grandson, with all the riches and prestige that such a position entailed. But when he was young, Yocheved told Moses that he was Jewish, so he always had great compassion for the Hebrew slaves. One day, he came upon an Egyptian guard beating an old Jewish slave. Moses got so angry that he killed the guard. Of course, by doing so he was breaking the law. He feared the consequences, so he ran away ran away from the palace into the desert, and became a shepherd. That where we pick up the story now.<br />\nPRINCESS’S ATTENDANT: Whatever you say, your majesty.<br />\nPRINCESS: Good idea. I hadn’t thought of that. All right, your Hebrew woman may nurse my child, and when he is old enough to walk, she shall bring him to the palace for me to raise. I am going to name him “Moses,” which means “drawn from the water.”<br />\nMIRIAM: (as she comes out of her hiding place) Excuse me, your majesty, but would you like me to call a Hebrew woman to nurse the baby, so that your attendant can continue to tend to you instead of being distracted by the baby?<br />\nPRINCESS’S ATTENDANT: As you wish.<br />\nPRINCESS: Oh, it must be one of those Jewish babies that my dad, the Pharaoh, wants to kill. But look at this little guy. He seems so beautiful and innocent. I know, I’ll take him home and raise him as my son. He will love me and respect me as his mother.<br />\nNARRATOR 2: She pulled the baby out of the water.<br />\nPRINCESS’S ATTENDANT: Why, yes, your highness.<br />\nPRINCESS: A baby?<br />\nPRINCESS’S ATTENDANT: It appears to be a baby, your highness.<br />\nPRINCESS: What is this?<br />\nNARRATOR 2: So Yocheved wove a basket of reeds, which is another word for long bamboo-like sticks, put her son into it and hid it in the tall grass by the river. She then sent her young daughter Miriam to hide nearby and keep watch. The Pharaoh’s daughter, who was a princess, eventually came down to the water to bathe and heard cries coming from the river.<br />\nYOCHEVED: (distraught) Oh no! Did you hear about Pharaoh’s awful decree? I knew he was mean, but now he’s killing our babies?! I need to hide my beautiful baby boy.<br />\nNARRATOR 2: Our story continues at the banks of the Nile River, where we meet Yocheved, a Jewish woman with a newborn son.<br />\nALL: NOOOOOOO!!!!!<br />\nHERALD: Hear ye, hear ye. It is hereby decreed by Pharaoh, ruler of the land of Egypt, that any son born to a Jew is to be drowned in the Sea of Reeds.<br />\nPHARAOH: Leave my quarters. I’ve gotta think. This could be bad...really bad. I mean, I love having these Hebrew slaves, but there are just SO many of them! They are not Egyptians, and as shocking as it might be, I don’t think they even like me. What if there’s a war and they join my enemies and fight against me? I am going to try to find a way to decrease this Jewish-Hebrew slave population.<br />\nSLAVE: Indeed I did, your most fabulousness.<br />\nPHARAOH: Fourteen? Did you say fourteen sons?<br />\nSLAVE: Yes, your highness. I must tell you that as a slave, we are really doing a fine job at building those pyramids. Carrying bricks is just the discipline that my fourteen sons need.<br />\nPHARAOH: Yes, I’ll have more grapes. This morning I took a tour of all of my new pyramids and I’m totally exhausted.<br />\nNARRATOR 1: The story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt has been told thousands of times. It’s a reminder to the Jewish people that once we were slaves in Egypt, but now we are free. And so, this year, as in years before, generation upon generation, we tell the story of Passover. Now, I invite you to relax and listen to this tale. We begin in Pharaoh’s Palace.</p>\n\n<p>Adapted from JewBelong Haggadah</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "MoHoLo Reverse Seder", "slug": "moholo-reverse-seder", "author": "Moishe House London" }, "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": 512, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Reverse Story of Exodus Script | Passover haggadah by Moishe House London", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

I must tell you that as a slave, we are really doing a fine job at building those pyramids. Carrying bricks is just the discipline that my fourteen sons need.</p>\n\n<p><strong>4PHARAOH: </strong>Fourteen? Did you say fourteen sons?</p>\n\n<p><strong>5SLAVE: </strong>Indeed I did, your most fabulousness.</p>\n\n<p><strong>6PHARAOH: </strong>Leave my quarters. I’ve gotta think. This could be bad...really bad. I mean, I love having these Hebrew slaves, but there are just SO many of them! They are not Egyptians, and as shocking as it might be, I don’t think they even like me. What if there’s a war and they join my enemies and fight against me? I am going to try to find a way to decrease this Jewish-Hebrew slave population.</p>\n\n<p><strong>7HERALD: </strong>Hear ye, hear ye. It is hereby decreed by Pharaoh, ruler of the land of Egypt, that any son born to a Jew is to be drowned in the Sea of Reeds.</p>\n\n<p><strong>8ALL: </strong>NOOOOOOO!!!!!</p>\n\n<p><strong>9NARRATOR 2: </strong>Our story continues at the banks of the Nile River, where we meet Yocheved, a Jewish woman with a newborn son.</p>\n\n<p><strong>10YOCHEVED: </strong>(distraught) Oh no! Did you hear about Pharaoh’s awful decree? I knew he was mean, but now he’s killing our babies?! I need to hide my beautiful baby boy.</p>\n\n<p><strong>11NARRATOR 2: </strong>So Yocheved wove a basket of reeds, which is another word for long bamboo-like sticks, put her son into it and hid it in the tall grass by the river. She then sent her young daughter Miriam to hide nearby and keep watch. The Pharaoh’s daughter, who was a princess, eventually came down to the water to bathe and heard cries coming from the river.</p>\n\n<p><strong>12PRINCESS: </strong>What is this?</p>\n\n<p><strong>13PRINCESS</strong>’<strong>S ATTENDANT: </strong>It appears to be a baby, your highness.</p>\n\n<p><strong>14PRINCESS: </strong>A baby?</p>\n\n<p><strong>15PRINCESS</strong>’<strong>S ATTENDANT: </strong>Why, yes, your highness.</p>\n\n<p><strong>16NARRATOR 2: </strong>She pulled the baby out of the water.</p>\n\n<p><strong>17PRINCESS: </strong>Oh, it must be one of those Jewish babies that my dad, the Pharaoh, wants to kill. But look at this little guy. He seems so beautiful and innocent. I know, I’ll take him home and raise him as my son. He will love me and respect me as his mother.</p>\n\n<p><strong>18PRINCESS</strong>’<strong>S ATTENDANT: </strong>As you wish.</p>\n\n<p><strong>19MIRIAM: </strong>(as she comes out of her hiding place) Excuse me, your majesty, but would you like me to call a Hebrew woman to nurse the baby, so that your attendant can continue to tend to you instead of being distracted by the baby?</p>\n\n<p><strong>20PRINCESS: </strong>Good idea. I hadn’t thought of that. All right, your Hebrew woman may nurse my child, and when he is old enough to walk, she shall bring him to the palace for me to raise. I am going to name him “Moses,” which means “drawn from the water.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>21PRINCESS</strong>’<strong>S ATTENDANT: </strong>Whatever you say, your majesty.</p>\n\n<p><strong>22NARRATOR 1: </strong>And so Yocheved’s son, Moses, grew up as the Pharaoh’s adopted grandson, with all the riches and prestige that such a position entailed. But when he was young, Yocheved told Moses that he was Jewish, so he always had great compassion for the Hebrew slaves. One day, he came upon an Egyptian guard beating an old Jewish slave. Moses got so angry that he killed the guard. Of course, by doing so he was breaking the law. He feared the consequences, so he ran away ran away from the palace into the desert, and became a shepherd. That where we pick up the story now.</p>\n\n<p><strong>23SHEEP: </strong>Baaaa</p>\n\n<p><strong>24NARRATOR 2: </strong>One fine morning, one of Moses’s sheep strayed a bit from the path.</p>\n\n<p><strong>25SHEEP: </strong>I said, “Baaaa!”</p>\n\n<p><strong>26NARRATOR 2: </strong>Moses followed the sheep and came across a burning bush. It was the craziest thing. This green bush was on fire, but instead of burning up and getting all crinkled and then black, it stayed green. This was, of course, a miracle. It was God, getting Moses’s attention so that he could talk to him. It worked.</p>\n\n<p><strong>27GOD: </strong>Moses! Moses!</p>\n\n<p><strong>28MOSES: </strong>Here I am.</p>\n\n<p><strong>29GOD: </strong>I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry. I have come to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that place unto a good land, flowing with milk and honey. Now, Moses, I need you to go back to Pharaoh and tell him to let the Jews go free and then you will need to lead the Jews out of Egypt.</p>\n\n<p><strong>30NARRATOR 1: </strong>It’s important to know that Moses stuttered whenever he spoke, so he was always nervous to speak in public.</p>\n\n<p><strong>31MOSES: </strong>B-b-but why should… I mean, why, why should I be the one t-t-to lead m-m-my people?</p>\n\n<p><strong>32GOD: </strong>Fear not – I will be with you.</p>\n\n<p><strong>33MOSES: </strong>Whah-what shhhould I t-t-t-ell the p-p-people?</p>\n\n<p><strong>34GOD: </strong>Just tell the Children of Israel, also known as the Jews, also now known as the slaves, that they need to listen to you, because you speak for me. Tell them to leave their homes and everything they have always known and follow you to the wilderness.</p>\n\n<p><strong>35MOSES: </strong>That is c-c-c-c-crazy. They’ll n-never l-listen and besides, I am s-s-s-s-s-low of s-s-s-p-p-peech and s-s-s-s-low of t-t-tongue.</p>\n\n<p><strong>36GOD: </strong>You’re right, it will not be easy. I forgot to mention Pharaoh is not going to simply agree to let his slaves go free. He will take some convincing, and it will not be pretty.</p>\n\n<p><strong>37MOSES: </strong>Puh-puh-puh-please send s-s-s-someone else…</p>\n\n<p><strong>38GOD: </strong>Your brother Aaron speaks well, right? He will have to help. I will only speak to you, but you can tell Aaron what I said, and he can be the one who speaks to Pharaoh and the people.</p>\n\n<p><strong>39NARRATOR 2: </strong>And so Moses and Aaron went to the people of Israel and convinced them that God had spoken to Moses. Then they went to see Pharaoh at the palace.</p>\n\n<p><strong>40AARON: </strong>Pharaoh, we are here to demand, in the name of our all-powerful and all-knowing God, that you release the Hebrew people from bondage.</p>\n\n<p><strong>41PHARAOH: </strong>LOL. That is really amusing, guys. So, Moses, back after all of these years to bring shame on your own house and your own grandfather?</p>\n\n<p><strong>42AARON: </strong>You cared for my brother for many years. At one time, he loved you as a grandfather. But he is the son of a Hebrew slave. If you love him, you will let his people go.</p>\n\n<p><strong>43PHARAOH</strong>’<strong>S YOUNG SON: </strong>Moses! I missed you! (Looks at Aaron.) Hey, who are you?</p>\n\n<p><strong>44AARON: </strong>I am Aaron, Moses’s brother.</p>\n\n<p><strong>45PHARAOH</strong>’<strong>S YOUNG SON: </strong>I thought I was his brother!</p>\n\n<p><strong>46AARON: </strong>Pharaoh, if you do not release the Hebrews, Egypt will be smitten with a greater plague than it has ever before seen.</p>\n\n<p><strong>47PHARAOH: </strong>There is no way I am going to do that! I don’t know this God you are talking about, and I will not let your people go. Now get out of my palace!</p>\n\n<p><strong>48NARRATOR 1: </strong>To punish Pharaoh for his refusal to let the Jews go, God turned the water of the Nile to blood. It was horrible. Everyone needs fresh water to live, and instead of water, the entire river ran red with blood. Pharaoh was furious, and he called Moses and Aaron back to the palace.</p>\n\n<p><strong>49PHARAOH: </strong>OK, this is horrible! The Nile River has turned to blood, and it’s your fault! Everyone is freaking out. Maybe your God is powerful after all. If I let your people go, will he turn the river back to water?</p>\n\n<p><strong>50AARON: </strong>Yes, of course. We don’t want to harm your people, we just want to leave and be free.</p>\n\n<p><strong>51PHARAOH: </strong>Fine, then go.</p>\n\n<p><strong>52NARRATOR 2: </strong>So Aaron and Moses left the palace and told the Jewish people to start getting ready for their journey. But then…</p>\n\n<p><strong>53PHARAOH: </strong>Get Moses and Aaron back here!</p>\n\n<p><strong>54AARON: </strong>Yes, Pharaoh? We were just leaving.</p>\n\n<p><strong>55PHARAOH: </strong>Not so fast. I realized that when you go I will have no one to build my pyramids. So I have hardened my heart and changed my mind. You need to stay.</p>\n\n<p><strong>56MOSES: </strong>B-b-b-ut Pharaoh, m-m-m-ore terrible things will happen to the Egyptian people if you do not let us go!</p>\n\n<p><strong>57PHARAOH: </strong>I will take my chances. Now get out of my palace, and tell the Jews to get back to work!</p>\n\n<p><strong>58NARRATOR 2: </strong>Soon, Egypt was overrun with another of God’s plagues… frogs. Wherever you looked, there were frogs all over the land. As you can imagine, it was awful. So Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron back to the palace and told them he would now allow the Jews to leave Egypt. But when they were ready to leave, Pharaoh changed his mind again. This happened every time!</p>\n\n<p><strong>59NARRATOR 1: </strong>The next plague God sent was lice....people and animals all got lice. Then flies everywhere. Then cattle disease...so all the cows got sick and died, then boils… terrible blisters on everyone… then hail fell from the sky – big pieces of hail, as big as ping-pong balls. Then locusts, which ate the plants, including all of the crops.</p>\n\n<p><strong>60NARRATOR 2: </strong>So between the cattle disease, which ruined the meat, and the hail and locusts which wrecked the crops, Egypt was in bad shape. People were hungry. Then came the plague of darkness. The sun never rose, and people were frightened and cold. The plagues were spreading fear and sickness across Egypt.</p>\n\n<p><strong>61NARRATOR 1: </strong>But the crazy thing was, after each plague, Pharaoh would call Moses and Aaron to the palace and tell them that if their God made the plague stop, the Jews could leave Egypt. So God would end the plague, and then Pharaoh would harden his heart and change his mind, keeping the Jews in bondage. It was a mess!</p>\n\n<p><strong>62PHARAOH: </strong>Who is this God of yours? How is it that each of these plagues only affects the Egyptians and not the Hebrews!? Get out!</p>\n\n<p><strong>63AARON: </strong>Pharaoh, our God is all-powerful! We don’t know what we can do to make you see thatyou must give in. We’re warning you now that God has told Moses what the next plague will be. He’s going to kill the firstborn of every Egyptian household, including your youngest son. Pharaoh, don’t let this happen! Let my people go!</p>\n\n<p><strong>64PHARAOH: </strong>I do not know your God, and I will not let your people go. Get out of my house! GET OUT!</p>\n\n<p><strong>65NARRATOR 2: </strong>God then came to Moses and instructed him to have all the Jewish people slay a lamb and smear some of its blood on the doorposts of their houses and gates. Then, when the Angel of Death flew over Egypt, he took the lives of all of the firstborn, except for those in the homes marked with blood. Pharaoh’s own son died. It was devastating. The people of Egypt were mourning. Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh yet again.</p>\n\n<p><strong>66AARON: </strong>Pharaoh, the grandfather my brother once loved, we are truly sorry for your loss.</p>\n\n<p><strong>67PHARAOH: </strong>Go away! Go away and leave me to my grief!</p>\n\n<p><strong>68AARON: </strong>But Pharaoh, now that you have seen how powerful God is, will you let my people go?</p>\n\n<p><strong>69PHARAOH: </strong>Be gone already! You and your people! You have ruined my empire.</p>\n\n<p><strong>70NARRATOR 1: </strong>So Aaron and Moses left Pharaoh and went to the Jews.</p>\n\n<p><strong>71AARON: </strong>Listen to me everyone! Remember this day, when you were able to leave Egypt, we were slaves and now we are going to be free and God will guide us out of here to the Promised Land.</p>\n\n<p><strong>72MOSES: </strong>We m-m-m-must go fast! We must m-m-m-make food, but… but… we must go before… before… Pharaoh changes his mind again.</p>\n\n<p><strong>73AARON: </strong>He won’t change his mind. Not this time.</p>\n\n<p><strong>74MIRIAM: </strong>Moses, if we leave right now, the bread won’t have time to rise.</p>\n\n<p><strong>75MOSES: </strong>F-f-f-forget the bread, let’s go!</p>\n\n<p><strong>76NARRATOR 2: </strong>Most of the Jews went with Moses and Aaron. But some felt the whole idea of leaving their homes and going some unknown land was crazy, so they stayed in Egypt. But meanwhile…</p>\n\n<p><strong>77PHARAOH: </strong>I have just let my slaves all go. This is not good for the people of Egypt. All that my forefathers have worked for will vanish if I lose the Hebrew slaves. Who will build the cities? The entire economy of Egypt will collapse. It will be the end of an empire. I WANT THEM BACK!</p>\n\n<p><strong>78NARRATOR 1: </strong>So once again, Pharaoh had hardened his heart. He got his army together and went after the Jews. Because they were walking and had a lot of kids with them who were slow walkers, the Jews had only gotten a few miles away from Egypt and they were really close to the Red Sea.</p>\n\n<p><strong>79MIRIAM: </strong>Look! The Egyptians are coming! They will kill us all! They will work us to death! Moses, do something!</p>\n\n<p><strong>80AARON: </strong>Don’t be afraid. God has handled things for us before, and I don’t think he would have made all those plagues just to have us die at the edge of the Red Sea now.</p>\n\n<p><strong>81NARRATOR 2: </strong>Then God spoke to Moses.</p>\n\n<p><strong>82GOD: </strong>Moses! Lift thy rod and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go across the sea safely.</p>\n\n<p><strong>83NARRATOR 1: </strong>It was amazing. When Moses raised his rod, the water of the sea parted, and the children of Israel walked across on the ground at the bottom of the sea. They were totally fine. But when Pharaoh’s armies followed to catch them, the waters closed in and Pharaoh’s armies were drowned.</p>\n\n<p><strong>84MIRIAM: </strong>That was a miracle! We made it across the Red Sea! I don’t know what God has in store for us next, but at last, we are free!</p>\n\n<p><strong>85NARRATOR 2: </strong>And Miriam took a timbrel – which is another word for a tambourine – in her hand; and all of the women went out after her with their timbrels and danced and sang. This kicked off a trek of forty years through the desert.</p>\n\n<p><strong>86NARRATOR 1: </strong>It was also when God starting sending manna, food from the sky that tasted like anything you wanted it to and sustained the Jews until they reached the Holy Land of Israel. But all of that is for another story. In the meantime, Happy Passover!</p>\n\n<p>THE END!</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "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": 284, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Reverse Maggid | Passover haggadah by Moishe House London", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
