נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

“With ‘The Tomb of the Broken Amulet,’ I wanted to put a classical mummy story in a #Passover setting,” said Shorr, who enjoys blending #Jewish elements with popular #folklore. “The story isn’t just a fun genre mash-up. It’s about a post-#Oct7 family contending with loss, finding courage and learning that like the Passover #seder, our stories don’t truly end until we’ve found what’s missing.”

At my house we use a maxwell house haggadah set from the early 80s.

"Today, thousands of different #haggadahs exist, with #prayers, #rituals and readings tailored to every type of #Seder – from LGBTQ+-affirming to climate-conscious. But for decades, one of the most popular and influential haggadahs in the United States has been a simple version with an unlikely source: the Maxwell House #Haggadah, dreamed up in 1932 by the coffee corporation and a #Jewish advertising executive."

Last night for the first time in many years I went to someone else's #Passover #Seder (necessitated by staying behind when my wife and son went to visit Daughter # 2).
I was extremely anxious about talk at the Seder potentially degenerating into Zionist propaganda about #Gaza, but fortunately my fears were unfounded. In fact, one of the hosts argued that given what #Israel is doing, we should skip reciting "Pour Out Thy Wrath".

Hebrew by Inbal

Tonight is ליל הסדר — Seder night.

A night of story, memory, freedom.

This video is from my last Seder in Israel — a table full of love, tradition, and meaning. I hold it close.

This year, I’m not at a public Seder. I’m sitting with memory. With family in my heart.

If you’re doing the same — I see you.

You don’t need a crowd to feel the magic. Just a heart open to the story.

May tonight bring freedom, peace, connection, and hope.

And may we remember the 59 hostages still in Gaza. May they come home soon.

חג פסח שמח 💙

"#Passover is a #Jewish #holiday steeped in tradition, but is set apart from other religious events in that the occasion and its observance is largely about #food. This is a holiday with pretty strict dietary guidelines, as well as classic #Seder preparation traditions, and for that reason, planning and #cooking for the holiday takes on a higher level of focus and preparation.

Home #chefs may start shopping, cooking, and planning their #menu weeks in advance—and the same can be said for celebrity chefs who happen to be Jewish.

But with so much #culinary traditions intertwined in this holiday's observance, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that many chefs have a specific family dish that has remained a star of the Seder for generations."

"As we learned more about #Christian #seders, it quickly became clear that not all of the seders are alike. In this #seder tutorial, Pastor Scott Stewart of Agape Church of Little Rock, Ark., explains how to celebrate #Passover, with barely any recognition that this is a #Jewish holiday. It felt like Stewart was even telling #Jews the proper way to lead a Passover seder.

However, other Christian seders focus on exploring the Jewish roots of #Christianity. For example, in this recording, Pastor Tom Holladay of Saddleback #Church teaches his congregants about how #Jesus, who was a #Jew, and his followers would have celebrated Passover in their time."

Excellent article on #DaraHorn's new children's #book and more!

"When are #children ready to encounter a #Jewish #history of persecution and slaughter?

One answer is provided during the seder itself, which often ends with the traditional song “Chad Gadya,” or one little goat in #Aramaic. It’s a “cumulative” song about a baby goat that is eaten by a cat, who’s killed by a dog, who’s beaten with a stick, culminating with the Angel of Death being slain by God. One interpretation is that the goat represents the Jewish people, and the climax of the song signals the redemption of the #Jews. It’s a dark theme smuggled into an upbeat, if macabre, children’s song.

Making light of the #seder’s darker themes is a #Passover tradition all its own, and Horn is on board with it.

“By the time children are old enough to appreciate [the darkness], they own the #story. They’re characters in the story, and they know that about themselves and that this is a story about us,” said Horn."

Maimonides

It is a positive commandment of the Torah to relate the miracles and wonders wrought for our ancestors in Egypt on the night of the 15th of Nissan, as it is written (Exodus 13:3): "Remember this day when you left Egypt," similar to the obligation (Exodus 20:8): "Remember the Sabbath day."

How do we know this is on the night of the 15th? This is taught by the words (Exodus 13:8): "And you shall tell your child on that day, saying: 'It is because of this..." which indicate it is to be done at the time when matzah and marror are placed before you.

This mitzvah applies even when one does not have a child to tell. Even wise sages who know it well are obligated to tell about the Exodus from Egypt. Whoever elaborates upon the events which transpired is worthy of praise.

(Mishneh Torah, Chametz and Matzah 7:1)

"On #Seder night too, the #Torah gave us a #mitzvah – a beautiful opportunity – “to relate the story of the #Exodus”. This means generations sitting together and exploring the narrative, telling what happened to our ancestors and connecting to the freedom as #Hashem took us out of #Egypt with miracles.

It’s the themes of faith, nationhood, gratitude and mission. And the #rabbis enshrined this in fifteen Seder night steps and the #Haggadah text – albeit currently one that not all of us understand. So how do we navigate that balance?

To ditch the Haggadah altogether is to ignore key text and the rabbis’ Seder night wisdom and guidance. Yet to recite the Haggadah without knowing what it says is to forgo the educational opportunity that is Seder night! Especially since some of the stages in Seder night are aimed at piquing children’s interest – some of the steps or the encouragement of questions."

No matter how you spell the bread of affliction, Passover is coming!

Matzoh is the unleavened bread that Jews eat during Passover. We eat matzoh and matza and matzo and matzah to remind us that our ancestors who were slaves in Egypt were freed and had no time for the bread to rise when they left. This funny Jewish Passover design makes a perfect gift!
