We feel remorse that our liberation resulted in the agony of our captors, for we are all sentient beings who can experience pain and suffering. As we recollect the plagues, we pour a drop of water to represent the afflictions suffered by all.</p>\n\n<p>Dip a finger or a spoon into your wine glass for a drop for each plague.</p>\n\n<p>The ten plagues that befell the Egyptians represent a range of issues that sentient beings can face. These are the ten plagues which were brought down on the Egyptians:</p>\n\n<p>1. Blood: The water turned to blood, killing all fish and making it undrinkable. This plague represents the pollution of our waterways and the harm it causes to aquatic life.<br />\n“And when Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not listen to them, just as the Lord had predicted, he said to Moses, ‘I shall turn the Nile into blood, and there will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the wooden and stone vessels.’ And Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded.” - Exodus 7:22-23<br />\n<br />\n2. Frogs: Frogs infested the land, causing chaos and discomfort. This plague can evoke thoughts of the impacts of habitat loss on wild animal welfare.<br />\n“And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Say to Aaron, “Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the ponds, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.”’ So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.\" - Exodus 8:5-15<br />\n<br />\n3. Lice: Dust turned into lice, causing irritation and discomfort. This plague can remind us of the harm caused by diseases that spread rapidly, such as pandemics.<br />\n\"And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Say to Aaron, “Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, and it shall become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.”’ And they did so. Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.\" - Exodus 8:16-17<br />\n<br />\n4. Wild animals: Swarms of wild animals, including flies, mosquitoes, and locusts, devastated crops and caused chaos. This plague represents the impact of climate change and environmental destruction on animal habitats and ecosystems.<br />\n\"Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘Let my people go, that they may serve me. For if you refuse to let them go and still hold them, behold, the hand of the Lord will come with a very severe plague on your livestock that are in the field, the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks.\" - Exodus 9:1-3<br />\n<br />\n5. Pestilence: Cattle died from a pestilence, causing suffering and hardship for farmers and their animals. This plague highlights the risks of zoonotic diseases originating in animal farming. It also can symbolize the suffering of those living in extreme poverty or without access to adequate healthcare.<br />\n\"Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Take handfuls of soot from the kiln, and let Moses throw them in the air in the sight of Pharaoh. It shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and become boils breaking out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.\" - Exodus 9:8-9</p>\n\n<p><br />\n6. Boils: Boils broke out on people and animals, causing pain and discomfort. This plague represents the impact of disease and infection on those living in poverty.<br />\n\"So they took soot from the kiln and stood before Pharaoh. And Moses threw it in the air, and it became boils breaking out in sores on man and beast.\" - Exodus 9:10<br />\n<br />\n7. Hail and Fire: Hail and fire destroyed crops and animals, causing widespread suffering and devastation. This plague represents the impact of extreme weather events on animal welfare and the environment.<br />\n\"Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man and beast and every plant of the field, in the land of Egypt.’ Then Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. There was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy hail, such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.\" - Exodus 9:22-24<br />\n<br />\n8. Locusts: Locusts swarmed the land, devouring crops and causing famine. This plague represents the impact of environmental destruction and natural disasters on food security and animal habitats.<br />\n\"Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon<br />\n\"Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.’ So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts. The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever shall be again.\" - Exodus 10:12-14<br />\n<br />\n9. Darkness: Darkness covered the land for three days, causing fear and uncertainty. This plague can symbolize the existential threats posed by potential astronomical suffering in the far future.<br />\n\"Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.’ So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived.\" - Exodus 10:21-23<br />\n<br />\n10. Death of the firstborn: The firstborn of every household in Egypt died, including those of animals, causing widespread grief and sorrow. This plague represents the impact of systemic oppression on the lives of all beings, and the need for liberation and justice for all.<br />\n\"At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead.\" - Exodus 12:29-30<br />\n<br />\nAs we reflect on the plagues, we are reminded that the suffering of all beings, including animals, is interconnected. Climate change, environmental destruction, and systemic oppression have devastating impacts on animals and humans alike. We must work towards justice and liberation for all beings, and protect the planet for current and future generations.</p>\n\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/408270/DALL%C2%B7E-2023-04-04-01.42.31---A-painting-in-the-style-of-traditional-Jewish-artwork-seen-in-Haggadah%2C-depicting-plagues-described-in-the-Haggadah%2C-such-as-frogs%2C-locusts%2C-and-hail..png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/408270/conversions/DALL%C2%B7E-2023-04-04-01.42.31---A-painting-in-the-style-of-traditional-Jewish-artwork-seen-in-Haggadah%2C-depicting-plagues-described-in-the-Haggadah%2C-such-as-frogs%2C-locusts%2C-and-hail.-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 9, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Ten Plagues | Passover haggadah by Rockwell", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Tonight, we come together to share a special Haggadah (the Herbrew word for \"telling\"), remember the exodus from Egypt, and to celebrate our freedom. As we gather tonight to celebrate Passover, we are called upon to reflect on the timeless story of liberation and redemption that defines this sacred holiday. Through the rituals and traditions of the Seder, we are reminded of the power of faith, courage, and community in the face of oppression and injustice.</p><p>At the same time, we cannot help but see the echoes of this story in the struggles of our own time, as new Pharaohs continue to emerge every day. We live in a world where too many are still enslaved, oppressed, and marginalized, where the forces of injustice and inequality threaten to overwhelm the forces of hope and compassion.</p><p>But it is precisely in times like these that the lessons of Passover become most urgent and most relevant. For in the story of the Exodus, we find a blueprint for resistance, for solidarity, and for the transformative power of collective action.</p><p>We are called upon to remember that the struggle for liberation is not limited to one people or one place, but is universal in its scope and relevance. We are called upon to rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of justice and compassion for all beings, human and animal alike, and to work tirelessly to build a world where all are free to live and thrive.\n\nAs we gather tonight, let us reflect on the meaning of liberation and what it truly entails.\n\n <em>What will it take to get out of Mitzrayim, our \"narrow place,\" both in our own lives and in the world around us?\n\nWhat sacrifices are we willing to make for the freedom of all sentient beings?\n\nHow can we support and uplift one another in the journey towards a world free from suffering, that we each may reach the Promised Land?</em> </p><p>So let us enter into this sacred space with open hearts and minds, with humility and a willingness to engage in uncomfortable conversations, ready to engage with the rich and complex themes of Passover, and to find within them the inspiration and guidance we need to create a more just and compassionate future. Tonight, we ask ourselves: Where have we been, and where are we going? And, most importantly: How can we get there together?\n\nChag Semeach!

It is a moment of reflection, of quiet contemplation, of setting the stage for the Passover tale of liberation and redemption.

It represents the light of effective altruism, of a movement that seeks to use reason and evidence to do the most good we can in the world.</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Just as we light the candles to illuminate our Passover table, we can use the light of wisdom and compassion to illuminate the world.

Each item has its ow...", "user_image": "", "user_image_original": "", "body": "<p>We place a Seder Plate at our table as a reminder to discuss certain aspects of the Passover story. Each item has its own significance. A vegan, justice-focused version of the traditional seder plate has been created. The vegan seder plate includes the following:</p><p> <em>Maror</em>  – The bitter herb. This symbolizes the harshness of lives of the Jews in Egypt and of the lives of those living under modern pharaohs today</p><p> <em>Charoset</em>  – A delicious mix of sweet wine (or grape juice), apples, cinnamon, and nuts that resembles the mortar used as bricks of the many buildings the Jewish slaves built in Egypt</p><p> <em>Karpas</em>  – A green vegetable, usually parsley, is a reminder of the green sprouting up all around us during spring and is used to dip into the saltwater</p><p> <em>Zeroah </em> – In the traditional seder plate, a shank bone is used to represent the Passover sacrifice (The Paschal Lamb). In the vegan version, we will use a piece of ginger instead. The zeroah symbolizes the hope for a world where all beings live in peace and are no longer subject to harm or exploitation.</p><p> <em>Beitzah</em>  – The egg is a symbol of mourning and destruction, as well as rebirth and new life. The egg symbolizes a different holiday offering that was brought to the temple. Since eggs are the first item offered to a mourner after a funeral, some say it also evokes a sense of mourning for the destruction of the temple. In the vegan version, a roasted beet or a small avocado is often used to symbolize rebirth and new beginnings.</p><p> <em>Orange</em>  - The orange on the seder plate has come to symbolize full inclusion in modern Judaism. The inclusion of an orange on the seder plate is a more recent addition to the Passover tradition, dating back to the 1980s. The practice originated as a feminist response to the exclusion of women from traditional Jewish spaces and rituals.</p><p>The orange represents the inclusion of marginalized and oppressed communities, particularly women and LGBTQ+ individuals, in Jewish traditions and leadership. The tradition of placing an orange on the seder plate symbolizes the rejection of the idea that women or any other marginalized group should be excluded from positions of power or leadership in the Jewish community.</p><p>The orange has also been interpreted as a symbol of the sweetness that comes from diversity and inclusion, as well as a reminder of the importance of standing up against hatred and bigotry.</p><p><strong>Matzah</strong></p><p>Matzah is the unleavened bread we eat to remember that when the Jews fled Egypt, they didn’t even have time to let the dough rise on their bread. We commemorate this by removing all bread and bread products from our home during Passover.</p><p><strong>Elijah’s Cup</strong></p><p>The fifth ceremonial cup of wine poured during the Seder. It is left untouched in honor of Elijah, who, according to tradition, will arrive one day as an unknown guest to herald the advent of the Messiah. During the Seder dinner, biblical verses are read while the door is briefly opened to welcome Elijah. In this way the Seder dinner not only commemorates the historical redemption from Egyptian bondage of the Jewish people but also calls to mind their future redemption when Elijah and the Messiah shall appear.</p><p><strong>Miriam’s Cup</strong></p><p>Another relatively new Passover tradition is that of Miriam’s cup. The cup is filled with water and placed next to Elijah’s cup. Miriam was the sister of Moses and a prophetess in her own right. After the exodus when the Israelites are wandering through the desert, just as Hashem gave them Manna to eat, legend says that a well of water followed Miriam and it was called ‘Miriam’s Well’. The tradition of Miriam’s cup is meant to honor Miriam’s role in the story of the Jewish people and the spirit of all women, who nurture their families just as Miriam helped sustain the Israelites.</p>", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/408257/DALL%C2%B7E-2023-04-04-00.55.55---A-painting-in-the-style-of-traditional-Jewish-artwork-seen-in-Haggadahs%2C-depicting-a-vegan-Passover-Seder-plate.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/408257/conversions/DALL%C2%B7E-2023-04-04-00.55.55---A-painting-in-the-style-of-traditional-Jewish-artwork-seen-in-Haggadahs%2C-depicting-a-vegan-Passover-Seder-plate-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 7, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Vegan Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Rockwell", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

He reminds us that there are many people who are unaware of the issues facing our world, and who may not know how to help. Effective altruism emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness and building a community of people who are committed to making a positive impact on the world. We must engage with others in a thoughtful and respectful way, and seek to inspire and empower them to take action for the greater good.

They crossed the Red Sea, received the Ten Commandments from God, and eventually settled in the land of Israel.<br />\nThe story of the Exodus is a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of oppression. It teaches us that freedom is worth fighting for, even when the odds seem insurmountable. And it reminds us that we have a duty to stand up against injustice and to work towards a world where all beings are treated with dignity and respect.<br />\nThe story of the Exodus also reminds us of the importance of empathy and compassion. As we read about the plagues that befell the Egyptians, we are called upon to remember that all beings, even our oppressors, are deserving of compassion and respect.<br />\nIn our modern world, we see many examples of oppression and injustice. People of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other marginalized groups face discrimination, violence, and systemic barriers to success. Animals are subjected to cruelty, exploitation, and inhumane treatment in factory farms and other industries. The planet is threatened by environmental destruction and climate change.<br />\nAs we reflect on the story of the Exodus, we are called upon to stand up against these injustices and to work towards a world where all beings are treated with dignity and respect. We are called upon to practice empathy and compassion, and to recognize that the liberation of all beings is interconnected.<br />\nThis is a call to action, to work towards a world that is more just and compassionate for all. We must recognize the power we have as individuals to make a difference, and to use our voices and actions to create positive change. We must educate ourselves and others about the issues facing our world, and support organizations and movements that are working towards liberation and justice.<br />\nAs we continue with the Seder, let us reflect on the lessons of the Exodus and renew our commitment to fighting for freedom, justice, and compassion for all beings.<br />\n </p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": null, "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": 9, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Maggid: The Story of the Exodus and Its Lessons for Today | Passover haggadah by Rockwell", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Just as the Israelites were able to overcome their suffering and make their way towards freedom, so too can we work towards a world that is more just and compassionate.<br />\nAs we eat the maror, let us remember our duty to alleviate the suffering of all beings. In the modern world, countless animals are subjected to unimaginable cruelty and suffering on factory farms, in laboratories, and in other settings. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, more than 70 billion land animals are raised for food every year, while trillions of aquatic animals are killed for food and tens of millions more are used for experimentation and other purposes.<br />\nThe conditions in which these animals are kept are often inhumane and unsanitary, and they are deprived of the opportunity to live and behave in ways that are natural to them. For example, chickens are often confined to tiny cages or overcrowded sheds, unable to spread their wings or engage in other natural behaviors. Pigs are kept in cramped and filthy conditions, and their tails are often docked and teeth clipped without pain relief. Cows are separated from their young, and their horns are routinely removed, again without pain relief. Fish and crustaceans are often subjected to overcrowded conditions, stressful transportation, and painful slaughter in the food industry.<br />\nThis system of exploitation and cruelty is not only a violation of basic animal welfare principles, but it also contributes to environmental destruction, public health risks, and social injustice. The vast amounts of feed, water, and land required to produce animal products contribute to climate change and deforestation, while the intensive use of antibiotics and other drugs in animal agriculture increases the risk of zoonotic diseases and antibiotic resistance.<br />\nFurthermore, the workers who are employed in these industries are often underpaid and subject to dangerous working conditions, and communities surrounding factory farms are disproportionately affected by pollution and other environmental hazards. This is a clear violation of social justice principles, and it is our responsibility as ethical and compassionate individuals to speak out against these injustices and work to create a more equitable and sustainable food system.<br />\nFortunately, there are many organizations and individuals working tirelessly to bring about change in the food industry and promote alternatives that are more humane, healthy, and sustainable. By choosing to consume plant-based foods, reducing our consumption of animal products, and supporting ethical and sustainable food producers, we can contribute to a more just and compassionate world for all beings.<br />\nLet us now eat the matzah and reflect on the lessons of liberation, justice, and compassion that we have learned from the Exodus story. As we break the matzah and share it with one another, let us also share our commitment to creating a world in which all beings are free from oppression and suffering.</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Maror", "slug": "maror" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 7, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Maror: The Bitter Herbs | Passover haggadah by Rockwell", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

In many parts of the world, access to clean water, food, and other basic necessities is still a struggle for many people, and social and economic inequalities continue to perpetuate cycles of poverty and oppression.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nFurthermore, in our own communities, many individuals and groups still face discrimination and injustice based on their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and other identities. We must work together to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a life of dignity and freedom, and to challenge systems of oppression and inequality in all their forms.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nThis is especially true when it comes to our treatment of animals. In many ways, the exploitation and suffering of animals is intertwined with systems of oppression and exploitation of marginalized communities. For example, the meatpacking industry in the United States has a long history of exploiting immigrant and low-income workers, who are often subject to dangerous working conditions and wage theft. Similarly, the impact of animal agriculture on the environment and public health disproportionately affects marginalized communities and exacerbates existing social inequalities.</p>\n\n<p><br />\nAs we reflect on our commitment to liberation and justice, let us remember that this includes our responsibility to advocate for the rights and well-being of all beings, human and nonhuman alike.

According to the United Nations, approximately 690 million people worldwide suffer from chronic hunger, and many more face food insecurity and malnutrition. This is a grave injustice, and one that we must work to address through policy changes, advocacy, and support for sustainable agriculture and food systems.<br />\nSimilarly, let us remember the animals whose lives are sacrificed for our meals. Whether through factory farming, hunting, or other forms of exploitation, animals are often subject to immense suffering and violence in the name of food production. This is not only a moral concern, but also an environmental and public health issue, as animal agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and the spread of zoonotic diseases.<br />\nAs we give thanks for the food on our plates, let us also commit ourselves to creating a food system that is just, sustainable, and compassionate for all beings.<br />\n[Take a moment of silence to reflect on this.]<br />\nNow, let us recite the birkat hamazon, the traditional Jewish blessing after a meal, together:<br />\n[Recite the following blessing:]<br />\nBaruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech haolam, hazan et haolam kulo b'tuvo b'chein b'chesed uv'rachamim, hu noten lechem l'chol basar ki l'olam chasdo.<br />\nBlessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who nourishes the entire world with goodness, grace, lovingkindness, and compassion.

Just as the Haggadah describes four types of children - the wise, the wicked, the simple, and the one who does not know how to ask - we can also identify four archetypes of adults, each with their own perspective and emotional response.</p>\n\n<p>The first adult is the Angry One. This person sees the injustice and suffering in the world and is filled with rage. They are outraged by the way that people are oppressed, exploited, and discriminated against. They may channel their anger into activism, protest, or advocacy. They may speak out against oppression and injustice wherever they encounter it, refusing to be silent or complacent.</p>\n\n<p>The second adult is the Ashamed One. This person feels a deep sense of guilt and shame about the wrongs that have been done in the past and continue to be done today. They are keenly aware of the ways in which their own privilege, power, or complicity may have contributed to the suffering of others. They may struggle with feelings of helplessness, despair, or self-blame. They may seek to make amends, to apologize, or to make changes in their own behavior or attitudes.</p>\n\n<p>The third adult is the Fearful One. This person is acutely aware of the risks, dangers, and uncertainties of the world. They are anxious about the future, worried about what might happen to themselves, their loved ones, or society as a whole. They may be cautious, hesitant, or risk-averse. They may seek security, stability, or control in their lives.</p>\n\n<p>The fourth adult is the Compassionate One. This person feels a deep empathy and compassion for all beings, human and non-human alike. They are moved by the pain, suffering, and struggles of others, and feel a strong sense of connection and interdependence with all life. They may be motivated by a desire to alleviate suffering, to offer kindness and support, or to cultivate love and gratitude.</p>\n\n<p>As we tell the story of our liberation from slavery, let us remember that we are all interconnected, and that the struggles of one are the struggles of all. May we each find our own path of courage, humility, resilience, and compassion in the face of the challenges that lie ahead.</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 7, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Four Adults | Passover haggadah by Rockwell", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
