Nothing could be less like Judaism, in which teaching the young to ask questions is an essential feature of Pesach, so much so that the Haggadah – the narration – must be in response to a question asked by a child.\n\nIn Judaism, to be without questions is not a sign of faith, but of lack of depth. ‘As for the child who does not know how to ask, you must begin to teach him how.”…\n\nThe heroes of our faith asked questions of God, and the greater the prophet, the harder the question….\n\nThere are three conditions for asking a Jewish question. The first is that we seek genuinely to learn – not to doubt, ridicule, dismiss, reject.

It deserves to be seen, in retrospect, as one of the defining confrontations of history. Between the most powerful empire of the ancient world and a powerless group of slave labourers, an immense question was being framed. What endures and what wanes?....\n\n The Israelites were about to go free….[Moses] might have spoken about freedom, or the promised destination…He might have chosen to speak about the arduous journey that lay ahead…Any of these would have been the great speech of a great leader.\n\n Moses did none of these things. Instead he spoke about the children, and the distant future, and the duty to pass on memory to generations yet unborn….About to gain their freedom, the Israelites were told that they were to become a nation of educators….\n\n Above all you need memory – the kind of memory that never forgets the bread of affliction and the bitter herbs of slavery.\n\n Freedom is more than revolution. The pages of history are littered with peoples who won their freedom only to lose it again….\n\n So Moses led his people on the least likely path to eternity. The Israelites became builders, but what they constructed was not monuments of stone. Instead it was a way of life inspired by the twin ideals of justice and compassion….\n\n It is said that God is not the power that enslaves but the power that sets free. Instead of worshipping mighty rulers, it taught that God is to be served by protecting the dignity of the widow, the orphan, the stranger, the weak, the vulnerable and the neglected. Holiness is found not in monumental architecture but in words and teachings, above all in the instruction that takes place at home. ‘Call them not your children but your builders,’ said the sages.... No civilization, no faith has been as child-centered as Judaism. As a result, none has stayed so perennially young, so self-renewing through time. On Pesach, telling our story to our children, we relive the secret of Jewish renewal.\n\n …By telling the Israelites in Egypt to become a nation of educators, Moses turned a group of slaves into people of eternity.”", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's Haggadah, 2006", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Questions", "slug": "four-questions" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 194, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Creating a Community of Educators | Passover haggadah by Cynthia Janower", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Pesach is the festival of Jewish identity. It is the night on which we tell our children who they are.\n\n On a superficial reading of the Bible, Moses was asking, “Who am I to stand before Pharoah?… [a question] about his personal worthiness for such a mission…. \n\nThere is, though, a deeper level at which Moses was indeed asking a question of identity. He faced a problem that has become acute wherever – in the Diaspora, even in the State of Israel itself – Jews have become part of a wider culture….\n\n Moses’ question, “Who am I?” was therefore … an existential crisis. Who was he and where did his destiny lie? Was he an Egyptian or an Israelite, a prince or a slave, a member of the ruling family of the greatest empire of the time, or part of a people moaning under oppression?\n\n …Almost the first words God says to him are ‘I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ God is not, at this point, telling Moses who God is. That came later, in the famous and enigmatic words ‘I am who I am.’ Instead God is telling Moses who he – Moses – is: the child of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob…\n\n In his innermost heart, Moses knew this….

Rulers ruled because they were gods, or children of the gods, or prime intermediaries between the gods and mankind. They held sway on earth for the same reason as did the sun in the sky: there was an order on earth as in heaven, by which the strong ruled the weak, and power was the guarantor of order. That God, creator of heaven and earth, might intervene in history to liberate slaves was ultimately unthinkable. Thus a paradox was born, which ever since has had the power to inspire men and women to break the chains of their oppression; that true power is distinguished by its concern for the powerless, that greatness is measured by the ability to hear the cry of the otherwise unheard…and that freedom is not worthy of its name unless it is freedom for all. \n\n ….For the first time it became possible to conceive that every human life has sanctity; that we all carry within us fragments of the divine.\n\n The religious passion of the ancient world was, above all, for order in the midst of an ever-threatening chaos… The mindset of myth is profoundly conservative, seeking to canonize the status quo…. For the first time, God is associated with change, transformation, revolution. Nothing is fixed in the human landscape except the rules of ethics themselves – God’s eternal word, calling for justice, equity and compassion, and constantly challenging, through a succession of prophets, the corruptions of power and the exploitations of the weak.\n\n [The Exodus] was a standing reminder of what a society can become when people forget God and instead worship human constructs, such as power itself… Through reflection on the experience of their ancestors in Egypt, the Israelites would remember what it feels like to be on the receiving end of persecution, and thus develop a sense of solidarity with the poor. Their task in the promised land was to build a counter-Egypt an antithesis of empire.", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's Haggadah, 2006", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 199, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Building a Society of Freedom | Passover haggadah by Cynthia Janower", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It told of how prophets criticized kings and that unjust rulers could be overthrown….[it] taught the fundamental difference between might and right, power and justice, rule and authority. It introduced an ethical dimension into the politics of power…the great political theorists of the seventeenth century, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, cite it constantly in their works.\n\n …America was the great attempt to construct a society on biblical lines, following in the footsteps of Moses…Already in 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers, seeing themselves as a ‘continuation and extension of the Jewish church’, pledged themselves in covenant to create a body politic, inspired by the example of biblical Israel, and frame ‘just and equal laws’. In 1776, in Philadelphia itself, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson met to design a seal for the new United States. Franklin proposed that it should bear a picture of Moses lifting his staff to divide the Red Sea, together with the motto, ‘Rebellion to tryrants is obedience to God.’ Jefferson preferred a less aggressive design: the Israelites in the wilderness… “Our American Israel” [was] a term frequently used…[Thomas] Jefferson’s ‘truths’ [in the Declaration of Independence] were self-evident only to a culture steeped in the Hebrew Bible, from its opening declaration that the human individual is ‘the image of God’, to its enactment in history in the Exodus and the covenant at Mt. Sinai…\n\n …[American presidents] refer to covenant and the moral bonds by which societies are sustained. The liberty of which they speak is biblical rather than libertarian: a matter less of rights than responsibilities, not the freedom to do what one likes, but the freedom to do what is correct and thus contribute to the common good. They invoke an essentially Mosaic narrative of America as the promised land to which successive generations of immigrants have come to find freedom from oppression and build, in John Winthrop’s famous phrase, ‘a city upon a hill’…The great American political addresses are the most sustained attempt in the modern world to place the themes of exodus, redemption and the presence of God in history at the centre of public life. (quotes John Winthrop, George Washington, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and George W. Bush.....Alexis de Tocqueville in the 1830s [noted] “in France, I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. In America, I found they were intimately united and they reigned in common over the same country.”\n\n In a strange way civil religion has the same relationship to the United States as Pesach does to the Jewish people. It is, first and foremost, not a philosophy but a story. It tells of a persecuted group escaped from the old world and made a hazardous journey to an unknown land, there to construct a new society, in Abraham Lincoln’s famous words, ‘conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.’ Like the Pesach story, it must be told repeatedly, as it is in every inaugural address….\n\n There have been four revolutions in the West in modern times: the British and American and the French and the Russian. In Britain and America, the source of inspiration was the Hebrew Bible. In France and Russia, the great alternative to the Bible, namely philosophy. The theorist of the French revolution was Jean-Jacques Rousseau; of the Russian, Karl Marx. The contrast between them is vivid. Britain and America succeeded in creating a free society, not without civil war, but at least without tyranny and terror. The French and Russian revolutions began with dreams of utopia and ended with a nightmare of bloodshed and the suppression of human rights...the explanation [largely] turns on how a society answers the question: who is the ultimate sovereign, God or man? …Democracy, in and of itself, is not enough…it merely replaces the tyranny of a minority with the tyranny of the majority. From ancient Athens to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, no political system that vested absolute power in its rulers, however elected, has resisted corruption…That is why the Exodus narrative remains the canonical text of liberty. It is only when society acknowledges God that man is protected from his fellow man….\n\n The Exodus is the inexhaustible source of inspiration to all those who long for freedom. It taught that right was sovereign over might; that freedom and justice must belong to all, not some; that, under God, all human beings are equal; and that over all earthly powers is the supreme power…who hears the cry of the oppressed and who intervenes in history to liberate slaves. It took many centuries for this vision to become the shared property of the liberal democracies of the West; and there is no guarantee it will remain so. Freedom is a moral achievement, and without a constant effort of education, it atrophies and must be fought for again.", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's Haggadah, 2006", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 225, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Universal Story | Passover haggadah by Cynthia Janower", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Pesach is especially hard because it is the festival of freedom. Freedom is threatened in two ways: by individualism and collectivism. Collectivism—worship of the system, the state, the nation, the race—has produced the worst tyrannies of history. That was true not only in the days of Moses. It was true in the twentieth century in the form of fascism and communism. It is true in many countries today.\n\n“Individualism represents the opposite danger. When individuals put private gain ahead of the common good, a society eventually collapses. That has been true of every affluent society in history. It has a brief flurry of success and then enters a long or short decline. You can tell in advance when a society is about to begin a decline. There is a breakdown of trust. Leaders lack stature. Divisions grow between rich and poor. There is a loss of social solidarity. People spend more and save less. In their focus on the present they endanger the future. There is less discipline and more self-indulgence, less morality and more pursuit of desire. Cultures grow old the way people grow old, and they begin to do so when they are at the very height of their powers.\n\n“I once asked the non-Jewish historian Paul Johnson who wrote a great History of the Jews what had most impressed him in the years he spent studying our people. He replied that in his view no civilization in history had managed as well as Jews had done the balance between personal and social responsibility—the road that avoids collectivism on the one hand, individualism on the other.\n\n“That is what Pesach is about. It is about my personal experience of freedom: On Pesach we must each see ourselves as if we personally had left Egypt. But it is also about our shared experience of freedom as we tell the story of our people and hand it on to future generations. Judaism is about the ‘I’ and the ‘We.’ Without our willingness to encourage questions, argument, debate, and endless new interpretations of ancient texts, we would lose the ‘I.’ Without halakhah, the code that binds us together across centuries and continents, we would lose the ‘We.’ And yes, it’s hard work. But I tell you from the depth of my heart that there is no achievement worth having that is not hard work.”\n\nWhat we need in Jewish life today is not ways of making Judaism easier. What costs little is valued even less. We need to find ways of showing how Judaism lifts us to greatness. When that happens people will not ask, Mah ha-avodah ha-zot lakhem, “Why all the hard work?” Neither an athlete going for an Olympic gold medal nor a scientist trying a new line of research ever asks that question; nor did Steve Jobs at Apple or Jeff Bezos at Amazon. The pursuit of greatness always involves hard work. The real challenge of our time is to rediscover why Judaism, because it asks great things from us, lifts us to greatness.

There the Israelites were making bricks for the Egyptians. Their work was for Pharoah, not in service of any sacred mission. During the Exodus, the Israelites were able to \"spring forth\" to something different. Those who crossed over the Red Sea were called \"Ivrim\", the crossers over. The imagery of crossing the sea is like that of being birthed from a womb (where midwives deliver the future after a difficult labor). The Israelites' trajectory took them through 40 years in the wilderness toward \"shalom\" (wholeness/ peace) and a land flowing with milk and honey. \n\nIt's a story that remains relevant in every generation of leaving a narrow place; what is your narrow place? What do you want to leave behind moving forward? What are you moving toward? \n\nThe narrow place might feel fairly comfortable - indeed the Israelites later missed the good food in Egypt. The text even indicates that the plagues were not to change Pharoah's mind at all because God simultaneously hardened Pharoah's heart - the plagues were intended to motivate the Israelites to leave a place where they'd been for 400 years! Imagine how hard that would have been. Egypt at the time was the world's greatest civilization, so even the lowliest had access to water from the Nile, food, protection (from advanced technology of the day, like chariots). In the wilderness, they were to lose all of that. \n\nHow do we know when it's time to go? When there's blood in the water/ it's no longer \"tov\" for the next generation. When do you stay and try to fix something from within and when do you leave? When in history has the river of life become a river of death? \n\nYocheved, in the story, saw that her child was \"tov\" and made him an ark to float down the river. Hers was sacred seeing. When the torah uses the word \"tov\", it indicates that something is generative/ procreative...it has potential to seed the future. The word \"tov\" is first mentioned in Genesis when God creates seeds, which hold the potential to grow food to nourish creation and further hold the seeds for future generations. Yocheved saw that Moses was \"tov\" and that emboldened her to float him downstream in his own little ark. What are we doing to preserve the incomplete \"tov\" around us?", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Alisa Ente in torah study", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 203, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Escaping the narrow place | Passover haggadah by Cynthia Janower", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Haggadah Section: Songs

Translation of the man in the beginning: The illusion/deception of strength, and the thin line that divides madness/craziness and serenity. The panic that is behind the laughter, and the coexistence of fatigue and elegance

"The repetitive sitting, standing, and shaking evokes davening in synagogue. The piles of thrown clothing suggest photographs from the Holocaust. The dancers toil through the choreography and their struggle could be read as a historical homage to the building of Israel."

"When Naharin decided to change the movement, one dancer, Erez Levy, did not hear the instructions and fell as before. His error was incorporated into the dance in the role of “the faller,” who sits at the end of the circle, falling to the floor at the end of each wave."
