Copyright and Trademark Issues

While we are not obligated to review Content for copyright or trademark infringement, we are committed to protecting copyrights and trademarks and expect users of our Site and Haggadot.com Services to do the same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any material used or displayed on or through our Site or the Haggadot.com Services infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on our Site and/or the Haggadot.com Services; the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov for details. DMCA notices and counter-notices regarding our Site and the Haggadot.com Services, or notices concerning trademark use in personalized products we make or in our Site and the Haggadot.com Services, should be sent to:

Haggadot.com PO Box 385 Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 [email protected]

Upon receipt of a compliant DMCA Takedown Notice, Haggadot.com will investigate the claim, take appropriate action and serve the notice on our member. If a member submits a DMCA Counter-Notice, Haggadot.com will forward such notice to the party that submitted the relevant DMCA Takedown Notice and allow the member to repost the disputed content after 10 days, as provided by law. Haggadot.com reserves the right to terminate the account of any member who repeatedly infringes the copyright rights of others, as determined in Haggadot.com’s sole discretion.

Eliyahu and Miriam: Hope and Possibility

by Caryn Aviv

We now refill our wine glasses one last time.  We lift up Miriam's cup to honor her leadership, and open the front door to imagine the prophet Elijah joining our seder. In the Bible, Miriam was bold and brave, saving Moses from death.  She led the Israelites through the Red Sea to dance and celebrate their freedom on the other side.   She provided strong leadership and found sources of water during the wandering in the desert. The Babylonian Talmud teaches, "If...

Korech: Bittersweetness

by Caryn Aviv

Eating a sandwich of matzah and bitter herb |   koreich  | כּוֹרֵךְ When the Temple stood in Jerusalem, one important ritual involved eating the lamb offered as the pesach or Passover sacrifice. Think of it as a holy BBQ for the Divine.  The great sage Hillel would put the meat in a sandwich made of matzah, along with some of the bitter herbs.  The Temple no longer stands, and we don't incorporate sacrifice into our Jewish practice anymore.  But we honor...

Rachtzah: A Deeper Washing

by Caryn Aviv

Contributed by Truah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights Our hands were touched by this water earlier during tonight's seder, but this time is different. This is a deeper step than that. This act of washing our hands is accompanied by a blessing, for in this moment we feel our People's story more viscerally, having just retold it during Maggid. Now, having re-experienced the majesty of the Jewish journey from degradation to dignity, we raise our hands in holiness, remembering once...

Hallel: Saying YAY!

by Caryn Aviv

Singing songs of YAY! | hallel | הַלֵּל  This is the time set aside for singing. Some of us might sing traditional prayers from the Book of Psalms. Others take this moment for favorites like Chad Gadya & Who Knows One. To celebrate the theme of freedom, we might sing songs from the civil rights movement.  Fourth Glass of Wine As we come to the end of the seder, we drink one more glass of wine. With this final cup, we...

Maror: Bittersweetness

by Caryn Aviv

Dipping the bitter herb in sweet charoset |   maror   |מָרוֹר  Adversity and resilience.  Suffering and insight.  Broken shards and new forms of being.  These are the themes of Passover and our own lives.   We recognize this by dipping our bitter herbs into the sweet charoset.  Let's say the blessing together. ברוּךְ אַתָּה יְיַָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מרוֹר: Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al achilat maror.

In our home we have a custom of evoking Jewish comedians of the 20th century.   We call it the 'Shrug, Upturned Palm' gesture.    Dayeinu is one of those moments to enlist this.    (Someone from the Clermont house can demonstrate.)   Had we experienced even just one moment of kindness described in the Exodus story, it would have been enough – dayeinu! (Shrug, upturned palm.)  Let's sing together:  אִלּוּ הוֹצִיאָֽנוּ מִמִּצְרַֽיִם, דַּיֵּנוּ Ilu hotzi- hotzianu, Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim, Dayeinu If the Divine ...

-- Ten Plagues

Ten Plagues

by Caryn Aviv

As we rejoice about becoming free, we regret that our freedom came at the cost of the Egyptians’ suffering.  We pour out a drop of wine for each of the plagues as we recite them. Dip a finger or a spoon into your wine glass for a drop for each plague. These are the ten plagues the Egyptians suffered: Blood | dam | דָּם Frogs | tzfardeiya |  צְפַרְדֵּֽעַ Lice | kinim | כִּנִּים Beasts | arov | עָרוֹב Cattle disease...

-- Exodus Story

The Exodus Story, in brief

by Caryn Aviv

Adapted from Rabbi Rachel Barenblat's Velveteen Rabbi. Once upon a time, during a famine our ancestor Jacob and his family fled to Egypt where food was plentiful. His son Joseph had risen to high position in Pharaoh’s court, and our people were well-respected and well-regarded, secure in the power structure of the time. Generations passed and our people remained in Egypt. In time, a new Pharaoh came to power. He found our difference threatening, and ordered our people enslaved. In fear...

The Four Archetypal Children

by Caryn Aviv

The Four Archetypal Children Jewish tradition speaks of four types of people who react differently to the themes of a Passover Seder.  Historically these are children, but we know many of these types as adults.   It's like a Jewish Myers-Briggs test!   What does the wise child say? The wise child asks,  What are the teachings given to us for how to live as a community in freedom? This child or adult is responsive to guidelines for how to observe the holiday...

Maggid - Beginning

Maggid: Unearthing forgotten stories

by Caryn Aviv

By Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Rabbi Lauren Holzblatt, from the AJWS Seder Supplements Resource Guide On Passover, Jews are commanded to tell the story of the Exodus and to see ourselves as having lived through that story, so that we may better learn how to live our lives today. The stories we tell our children shape what they believe to be possible—which is why at Passover, we must tell the stories of the women who played a crucial role in...

Yachatz

Yachatz

by Caryn Aviv

An important Seder tradition is to place three pieces of matzah on the table, and then break the middle matzah into two pieces. The larger piece becomes the afikomen, literally “dessert” in Greek, and will be hidden in a secret place. After dinner, the youngest people at the table will have to hunt for the afikomen in order to wrap up the meal and win a prize! We eat matzah to remember the Israelites' hurried escape from Egypt. As slaves, they...

Karpas

Karpas

by Caryn Aviv

Passover evokes compelling narratives of slavery and freedom with honoring the cycles of nature. As we remember the liberation from Egypt, we also recognize the stirrings of spring and natural growth unfolding in the world around us. The symbols on our table bring together both elements of these celebrations. We now take a vegetable, representing our joy at the dawning of spring (mindful that more snow might come!).  Let's now dip it into salt water, a symbol of the tears our...

Kadesh

by Caryn Aviv

Jewish celebrations often include wine as a symbol of our joy. The seder starts with wine and then gives us three more opportunities to refill our cup and drink. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen. We bless the source of compassion that creates the fruit of the vine. We are grateful to participate in mitzvot (actions that enhance our relationship to what's sacred in life, and to celebrate special...

Introduction

On This Night

by JewBelong

On this night we retrace our steps from then to now, reclaiming years of desert wandering. On this night we ask questions, ancient and new, speaking of servitude and liberation, service and joy. On this night we welcome each soul, sharing stories of courage, strength, and faith. On this night we open doors long closed, lifting our voices in songs of praise. On this night we renew ancient hopes and dream of a future redeemed. On this night we gather around...
