For some people, God is an integral part of their lives. Others get stuck on the word itself. Perhaps for some of us, there is no God. 

As you may notice, many of the blessings that we’ve put in here are more abstract + “God-optional”. But the word “God” will still appear in passages I’ve clipped (borrowed) from other Haggadahs.   

When the word “God” comes up, please think of something that gives you a sense of awe in your life, whether it be nature, a belief in a complexity that you don't understand, the universe, oneness, a belief in humanity, your definition of God, or something else. Use whatever word or phrase feels best for you. This night is for everyone. 

If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. " - James Baldwin
