We are pleased that you could join us this year to share our Passover seder. Though not all of us share the same backgrounds, we are all connected by our yearning. As we yearn to be free in our lives, this Passover we should reflect on those things that bind us. These things might be material, emotional, spiritual, or even irrational. Our hope today is to cast off those bindings and to don a slightly lighter garment of irreverence while we enjoy one another's company during this joyous festival.</p>\n<p>This isn't the haggadah for Jews or Goyim or atheists or Christians or Fascists or Communists— <em>this is the one for you,<strong> </strong></em> you who demands real justice for yourself and all the world. This is the haggadah for the people, all of us, and it was made with the knowledge that <em>so long as one of us is shackled, none of us are free.</em> </p>\n<p>All attempts have been made to include enough content for the seder to be meaningful while also cherishing the brevity that seems so often lacking in our day-to-day lives.  May we all leave this seder tonight with plenty of time remaining to make it to Jerusalem next year (with ample time to make the arduous journey through airport security).</p>\n<p>So friends, grab a cushion, lounge around a bit, have some wine, and enjoy the Passover.</p>\n\n\n\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "Unknown", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/7461/dove_star_color_large_0.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/7461/conversions/dove_star_color_large_0-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 262, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Welcome | Passover haggadah by nicole", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Why do we sit reclining tonight?</span></p><p></p>\n<p><span></span></p><p> </p>\n<p><span></span></p><p></p>Answer 1: We were slaves in Egypt. Our ancestor in flight from Egypt did not have time to let the dough rise. With not a moment to spare they snatched up the dough they had prepared and fled. But the hot sun beat as they carried the dough along with them and baked it into the flat unleavened bread we call<span> </span><i>matzah</i>.<p></p>\n<p><span>Answer 2: The first time we dip our greens to taste the brine of enslavement. We also dip to remind ourselves of all life and growth, of earth and sea, which gives us sustenance and comes to life again in the springtime.</span></p><p></p>\n<p><span>Answer 3: The second time we dip the<span> </span><i>maror</i><span> </span>into the<span> </span><i>charoset</i>. The<span> </span><i>charoset</i><span> </span>reminds us of the mortar that our ancestors mixed as slaves in Egypt. But our<span> </span><i>charoset</i><span> </span>is made of fruit and nuts, to show us that our ancestors were able to withstand the bitterness of slavery because it was sweetened by the hope of freedom.</span></p><p></p>\n<p><span>Answer 4: Slaves were not allowed to rest, not even while they ate. Since our ancestors were freed from slavery, we recline to remind ourselves that we, like our ancestors, can overcome bondage in our own time. We also recline to remind ourselves that rest and rejuvenation are vital to continuing our struggles. We should take pleasure in reclining, even as we share our difficult history.</span></p><p></p>\n<p><span></span></p><p> </p>\n<p><span></span></p><p> </p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Unknown", "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": 366, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "4 questions | Passover haggadah by nicole", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
