One, the sacrifice of lambs to God, made in the days of the temple. Two, the lamb's blood that the Israelites painted on their doors, to make sure that the angel of death passed over their homes. Tonight we also have a  <em><strong>beet</strong>,</em> blood red in color, and taken from our earth. When we look at this shank bone and this beet, we see one symbol of sacrifice and death, and one symbol of vital blood and the living earth.</p>\n\n<p><strong> <em>Beitzah</em>  </strong>- egg</p>\n\n<p>The egg traditionally stands for the rebirth of the earth. It's spring, and the promise of life lies around every corner, and in every garden and field. But the capacity for life does not have to be tied to the creation of it. Tonight we use it as a reminder that a biological ability to procreate is not an obligation to do so, and that reproductive justice is tied up in queer and trans justice.</p>\n\n<p><strong> <em>Maror</em> </strong> - bitter herbs</p>\n\n<p>The bitter herbs are a visceral reminder of the bitterness of the closet. Of the pain of hearing someone misgender us. Of the hurt we feel when one of our loved ones comes home crying. Of the horror that we feel when we watch the news. We eat the bitter herbs to remind us that even in the comfort of this seder, we feel the pain of being part of a marginalized group. </p>\n\n<p><strong>Orange</strong></p>\n\n<p>The orange on the seder plate has several apocryphal tales tied to its creation. The following feels significant to mention:</p>\n\n<p>In the early 1980s, while speaking at Oberlin College Hillel, Susannah Heschel, a well-known Jewish feminist scholar, was introduced to an early feminist Haggadah that suggested adding a crust of bread on the seder plate, as a sign of solidarity with Jewish lesbians (which was intended to convey the idea that there’s as much room for a lesbian in Judaism as there is for a crust of bread on the seder plate).</p>\n\n<p>Heschel felt that to put bread on the seder plate would be to accept that Jewish lesbians and gay men violate Judaism like chametz violates Passover.</p>\n\n<p>So at her next seder, she chose an orange as a symbol of inclusion of gays and lesbians and others who are marginalized within the Jewish community. She offered the orange as a symbol of the fruitfulness for all Jews when lesbians and gay men are contributing and active members of Jewish life.</p>\n\n<p>In addition, each orange segment had a few seeds that had to be spit out — a gesture of spitting out, repudiating the homophobia of Judaism. <em> (by Tamara Cohen, taken from RitualWell.com)</em> </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": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 238, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Items on the Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Galia Godel", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

How a new Pharoah arose who did not know Joseph, and he grew afraid of the Israelites, for they were numerous and strong. And he ordered the death of the baby boys, to prevent the Israelites from growing too powerful.</p>\n\n<p>We tell about Moses, and how he was sent to float in the Nile in a basket. How he was found by the Pharoah's daughter, and raised as an Egyptian. How he ran away. How God spoke to him. And how he returned to free the Israelites - his people.</p>\n\n<p>Maggid is where we tell the story of our liberation. And our liberation as Jews is tied into our liberation as queer and trans people.</p>\n\n<p>Now is the part of the seder when we must speak about the collected library of literature on transgender studies, burned in the flames of the Holocaust. When our trans ancestors were accepted and loved, before a fascist state decided that they were not permitted to exist, let alone live. Now is the part of the seder when we must speak about the Black trans women who threw stones in the Stonewall Riots. Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera - we must speak their names. Now is the part of the seder when we must speak about the AIDS epidemic - how the government stood by and watched as 500,000 gay men died. We do not know all of their names. Now we must speak of Matthew Shepherd, whose death changed the national dialog about gay youth, but who should not have needed to die to spark that conversation.</p>\n\n<p>We have achieved remarkable milestones in our fight for civil rights and human rights, but our fight is not yet over. Queer people of color, trans people, and queer youth still lose their lives at terrifying high rates. Bisexual and asexual people have their identities denied.

But we are unable to think about the food on our table without taking a moment to think about food insecurity, and how it disproportionately affects urban people of color. I'd like to urge each seder participant tonight to go home and make a small donation to help support hungry people in your community. Whether it's inviting a friend over for a meal who would not otherwise be able to eat, or donating non-perishables to a local food pantry, or volunteering at a soup kitchen, or making a donation to an organization that fights hunger.</p>\n\n<p>Hunger is not a queer specific issue, but we say \"let all who are hungry, come and eat.\" So let's make sure that everyone in our community has the ability to eat. If you feel gratitude towards God for this meal, remember that it is human hands that made the food, and human hands that can best distribute food to those who are hungry.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Galia Godel", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Bareich", "slug": "bareich" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 227, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Birkat HaMazon | Passover haggadah by Galia Godel", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

This can be in a literal sense, by making our homes a safe place for queer friends to escape the difficulties from their closeted lives, or in a figurative sense, by chatting online with a cousin who asks \" <em>what does it mean to be bi?</em> \" or by sponsoring a school GSA. </p>\n\n<p>We also need to make one call towards allies. This seder isn't written for allies - it's written for queer people. But we cannot win this fight for justice on our own, and we here show appreciation for when our non-queer loved ones have opened their homes and lives to us. We also know that many,  <em>many</em>  queer youth started out identifying as allies. That they attended school GSA events under the label of an ally, and that it was the only way they knew how to explain why they felt so at home surrounded by out and proud friends. Because it can sometimes take years to transition from \"I wish I was a boy\" to \"I am a boy!\" and \"Wow, I wish I could be like her\" to \"I want to date her.\"</p>\n\n<p>We raise this glass to allies, because while we don't  <em>owe </em> them our thanks, we freely offer it today.</p>\n\n<p>We read together:</p>\n\n<p><strong>בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן</strong></p>\n\n<p>Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.</p>\n\n<p>We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruit of the vine.</p>\n\n<p>Drink the third glass of wine!</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Galia Godel", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Hallel", "slug": "hallel" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 249, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Kadesh 3 | Passover haggadah by Galia Godel", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
