Happy Passover and Welcome! The person that made this Haggadah has a minor in religious studies from NYU, so if you don't like it, blame NYU probably.


Passover tells the story of Moses ultimately leading the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt. Passover happened around 1200 BCE, but it is far from the last time we, and others, have had to fight and escape for our rights and our freedom. Two quotes said by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are as follows:


We Ukrainians are a peaceful nation. But if we remain silent today, we will be gone tomorrow!


It’s a victory when the weapons fall silent and people speak up.


Moses spoke up and asked the Pharaoh and then God to "let my people go." Again and again, the Jewish people have had to yell to be heard, and yet we persist and we persist and we persist into 2024. At a moment in our service, we will hear the phrase, Next year in Jerusalem. May you find your own meaning in where you hope to be a year from now, or look back proudly on where you've gotten since a year ago. Let's begin!
