URCHATZURCHATZ

TOGETHERTOGETHERContributed by Contributed by Erica Berkowitz Erica Berkowitz Source:Source: original

Together as we wash our hands, they move into the bowl of water, and back out of the water. Why do we do this? Are ourhands really getting clean without soap? We won’t be eating for some time, why do we do this so early?

The washing of our hands suggests that we are open to question. One question that is always asked is about hope.

Rick Recht answers in his song:

This is the hope that holds us together, Hatikvah, the hope that will last forever, the hope is still real.This is the hope that holds us together, Hatikvah, the hope that will last forever, the hope is still real.

From the Diaspora, to the exodus, to the holocaust, to war, to independence, to more wars, to threats, bombing, and peace,Israelis never give up hope. We are strong people because we have hope. And the hope holds us together. That’s why theIsraeli National Anthem is Hatikvah, because that means hope.

URCHATZURCHATZ

Washing - for what?Washing - for what?Contributed by Contributed by Gavriel Goldfeder Gavriel Goldfeder Source:Source: original

By Rabbi Gavriel Goldfeder alternadox.net

Later on we will do ' rachtzah '─the washing over the matzah . Now we are doing ' urchatz ', which amounts to washingbefore eating a vegetable. This is not something we do every day.

To explain, Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, first chief Rabbi of the State of Israel, writes of dividing life into two categories: thegoal, and everything else. We set goals for ourselves and set out to reach them. Everything we do that helps us reach thatgoal is worthwhile. But how do we relate to all the other things we do? This is an important question that addresses howwe feel about the aspects of our lives that our not essential. And this is one of the central points of the Seder.

What is the goal of the Seder? The peak spiritual moment of the Seder is when we fully absorb the spiritual impact of thematzah when we eat it. So why don't we cut to the chase? Let's get that matzah inside of us as quickly as possible! But thetruth is, the Seder wants to help us experience every moment of our lives as an encounter with the Divine. It demands thatwe let go of our usual distinctions - important and unimportant, sacred and profane, good and bad, needs and wants.

Tonight, we are going to learn how to experience the Divine within all moments. Not only prayers and mitzvot, but alsoeating and conversation. Not only goals, but journeys. Finally free to let go of the reins for a moment, we can celebrateevery moment equally. Not only will we recognize the holiness of the process, we will even sanctify ourselves toward thispursuit: urchatz.

R’ Kook deepens the concept for us: vegetables, in the Talmud, are thought to enhance hunger - 'appetizers'. If eating is anunfortunate concession we make to our animal nature, then vegetables are antithetical to the goal of living life morespiritually. But if eating is another opportunity for encounter with the Divine - if pleasure is an encounter with the Divine ─then the vegetable we are about to eat is a holy sacrament, drawing us in to a moment of Encounter. So of course we shouldwash our hands to prepare ourselves.

Washing toward the matzah -goal and the vegetable-distractions represent two kinds of freedom: the first is freedom to livean intentional life. We celebrate our right and capacity to point ourselves in a specific direction and actually follow through. But there is another kind of freedom: freedom to let go, to know that wherever we go we will find Hashem and meaning anddirection and connection. It is told that the Ba'al Shem Tov, the founder of Chassidut, when embarking on a journey, wouldhave his coachman, Alexi, let go of the reins and sit backward, facing away from the horses. With the freedom to let go ofthe reins, we allow our desires to guide us as much we allow the Torah to guide us.

Rebbe Natan of Brelsov writes that ' urchatz ' is from the root-word in Aramaic that means 'trust'. At this moment in theSeder, pay closer attention to your capacity to trust and let go. The goal is to trust enough to sanctify aspects of yourselfand the life you live that you never allowed yourself to see as holy. Can you trust the holiness of the night, the 'night ofprotection', to guard you from any negative impact of what's inside of you? Do you trust the people around this table, eachof them looking at you tonight with holy Pesach-eyes, to be with you in your search for true freedom?

We have nothing to fear except holding back. We will never reach true freedom if we do not free our desires and appetites tobe in service of the Divine.

As you wash, consider that you are preparing yourself for an encounter with something holy – your own desires!As you wash, consider that you are preparing yourself for an encounter with something holy – your own desires!

Salt WaterSalt WaterContributed by Contributed by Beth Yeshurun Day School Beth Yeshurun Day School Source:Source:

Salt Water is very bitter on it's own and yet is tends to bring out sweetness and flavors in other foods. We dip the Karpas inthe salt water to give us the experience of tasting the tears that fell from our ancestors eyes. Yet, we also taste the flavors ofthe Karpas and are reminded of the sweetness in life as well. How can we use this experience to make our lives sweeter,How can we use this experience to make our lives sweeter,more thoughtful?more thoughtful?

KARPASKARPAS

Seinfeld KarpasSeinfeld KarpasContributed by Contributed by Dave Cowen Dave Cowen Source:Source: The Yada Yada Haggadah by Dave Cowen

INT. JERRY'S APARTMENT

ELAINE

Now do we eat? I’m starving.

KRAMERSort of. Next up is the Karpas. Who wants to do the Karpas? Yael?

George's love interest Yael replies:

YAEL

I’d be honored. For the Karpas, we dip fresh green vegetables into bitter, salty water. It symbolizes the celebration of apainful moment in Jewish history, by combining a metaphor of tears and slavery, the salt water, with one of spring and

rebirth, the green vegetable, in this case, the big salad Elaine brought.

YAEL DIPS SOME OF THE BIG SALAD INTO THE SALT WATER. SHE BITES THE VEGETABLE.

YAEL

Mmm.

YAEL PASSES THE KARPAS TO GEORGE. HE TAKES THE BIG SALAD AND SALT WATER NEXT, DIPS, AND BITES.

GEORGE

Mmm.

YAEL SMILES. HOWEVER, GEORGE THEN RE-DIPS THE BITTEN VEGETABLE INTO THE SALT WATER AND TAKES ANOTHERBITE.

GEORGE

Mmmmmmm.

YAEL LOOKS AT GEORGE. SHE’S DISGUSTED.

YAEL

What are you doing?

GEORGE

What?

YAEL

You just double dipped the Karpas?

GEORGE

Excuse me?

YAEL

You dipped the Karpas. Bit it. And dipped it again.

GEORGE

So?

George's Father, Frank, yells at him:

10

FRANK

It’s like putting your whole mouth in the Karpas, George!

GEORGE

I didn’t get enough salt water the first time. I like to really feel the tears of our people. Is that so bad?

YAEL

There’s no double dipping. In general. Of anything.

George's mother criticizes him:

ESTELLE

Who raised you to double dip? We didn’t raise him to double dip. I can tell you that.

FRANK

I’m sorry you had to see that, Yael.

GEORGE

Can we just say the prayer already?!

EVERYONE:

Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha`olam, bo'rei p'ri ha'adama.

Praised Are You, Our G-d, who creates the fruit of the earth.

YACHATZYACHATZ

From Amidst BrokennessFrom Amidst BrokennessContributed by Contributed by HIAS HIAS Source:Source: https://www.hias.org/passover2017

Take the middle matzah of the three on your Seder plate. Break it into two pieces. Wrap the larger piece, the Afikoman, in anapkin to be hidden later. As you hold up the remaining smaller piece, read these words together:

We now hold up this broken matzah, which so clearly can never be repaired. We eat the smaller part while the larger halfremains out of sight and out of reach for now. We begin by eating this bread of affliction and, then, only after we have relivedthe journey through slavery and the exodus from Egypt, do we eat the Afikoman, the bread of our liberation. We see thatliberation can come from imperfection and fragmentation. Every day, refugees across the globe experience theconsequences of having their lives ruptured, and, yet, they find ways to pick up the pieces and forge a new, if imperfect, pathforward.

The Meaning of the Passover StoryThe Meaning of the Passover StoryContributed by Contributed by Machar Congregation Machar Congregation Source:Source: Machar

[Resume taking turns reading. Each person is invited to read a grouped set of lines - or to pass.]

Passover is the celebration of life. The story of the Jewish people is truly a triumph of life. Against the odds of history, theJewish people have done more than survive - we have adapted creatively to each new time, each new place, from the birth ofour people to the present day.

Even though death has pursued us relentlessly, time and time again, we have chosen to live. During the many centuries ofthe Jewish experience, memories of destruction are tempered by the knowledge that the world can also be good.

We have endured slavery and humiliation. We have also enjoyed freedom and power. Darkness has been balanced by light.

Our forebears traveled the Earth in search of the safety and liberty they knew must exist. We have learned to endure. Wehave learned to progress.

We are proud survivors. We celebrate our good fortune and seek the advancement of all.

Leader:

One of the customs of the seder is the asking of questions - questions about what the ritual actions of the seder mean. ThePassover tradition involves the youngest children asking - actually singing - about these matters in a song we call "The FourQuestions."

This is the bread of affliction, which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Let all who are hungry come and eat. Let all whoare in need, come and celebrate Passover. Today, we are here. Next year, in the land of Israel. Today, we are slaves. Nextyear, we will be free.

___________

Written in Aramaic, this statement begins the narration of the Seder by inviting the hungry to our table. Aramaic, Jewishlegend has it, is the one language which the angels do not understand. Why then is Ha Lachma spoken in Aramaic? To teachus that where there is hunger, no one should rely upon the angels, no one should pray to the heavens for help. We know thelanguage of the poor, for we were poor in the land of Egypt. We know that we are called to feed the poor and to call them tojoin our celebration of freedom.

The Four Questions

Why is it onlyon Passover nightwe never know howto do anything right?We don't eat our mealsin the regular ways,the ways that we doon all other days.

'Cause on all other nightswe may eatall kinds of wonderfulgood bready treats,like big purple pizzathat tastes like a pickle,crumbly crackersand pink pumpernickel,sassafras sandwichand tiger on rye,fifty felafels in pita,fresh-fried,with peanut-butterand tangerine saucespread onto each sideup-and-down, then across,and toasted whole-wheat breadwith liver and ducks,and crumpets and dumplings,and bagels and lox,and doughnuts with one holeand doughnuts with four,and cake with six layersand windows and doors.Yes--on all other nightswe eat all kinds of bread,but tonight of all nightswe munch matzo instead.

And on all other nightswe devourvegetables, green things,and bushes and flowers,lettuce that's leafyand candy-striped spinach,fresh silly celery(Have more when you're finished!)cabbage that's flownfrom the jungles of Glomeby a polka-dot birdwho can't find his way home,daisies and rosesand inside-out grass

18

and artichoke heartsthat are simply first class!Sixty asparagus tipsserved in glasseswith anchovy sauceand some sticky molasses--But on Passover nightyou would never considereating an herbthat wasn't all bitter.

And on all other nightsyou would probably flipif anyone asked youhow often you dip.On some days I only dipone Bup-Bup eggin a teaspoon of vinegarmixed with nutmeg,but sometimes we takemore than ten thousand tailsof the Yakkity-birdsthat are hunted in Wales,and dip them in vatsfull of Mumbegum juice.Then we feed them to Harold,our six-legged moose.Or we don't dip at all!We don't ask your advice.So why on this nightdo we have to dip twice?

And on all other nightswe can sit as we please,on our heads, on our elbows,our backs or our knees,or hang by our toesfrom the tail of a Glump,or on top of a camelwith one or two humps,with our foot on the table,our nose on the floor,with one ear in the windowand one out the door,doing somersaultsover the greasy k'nishesor dancing a jigwithout breaking the dishes.Yes--on all other nightsyou sit nicely when dining--So why on this nightmust it all be reclining?

While he was looking after the sheep, he saw a bush on firethat did not burn up and heard God's voice telling him to go back to Egypt, to tell Pharoah to let the Jewish people go. Song:when Israel was in Egypt land When Moses went to Pharoah, he said "Let my people go". Pharaoh said "No". So, God sent the1st plague -Blood. Moses went to Pharoah. He said, "Let my people go".

There's a time we must remember, when the Jews never felt so lost

When we felt the Pharaoh’s hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah)

But God made Moses a leader, and he lighted up the dark

God carries the weight for us that you know He'll never drop, yeah

If God had only set us free,

Redeemed us all from slavery,

That would have been enough for me!

Dayenu...

If God had given us Shabbat,

That really would have meant a lot,

But did God stop there?

No, God did not!

Dayenu...

God's Torah we were also given,

And the Promised Land to live in,

For all these things our thanks are given.

The Enchanted MatzaThe Enchanted MatzaContributed by Contributed by Julie Bolsom Julie Bolsom Source:Source: http://www.jewishmag.com/jimmenu/passover.htm

The Enchanted Matzoh

By Arthur R. Pell

The matzos, all freshly baked, were packed neatly in their box, waiting for the seder. Most of them were quietly awaiting theirfate. They didn't mind being eaten because they were baked especially for that purpose and it never entered their minds toexpect anything else.

But one little matzoh was different, perhaps the baker had made a mistake when he mixed the dough or perhaps this matzohwas enchanted. He didn't want to be eaten.

"I'm going to run away," he told the others in his box.

"Nonsense," said his friend. "You have no legs so you cannot run. and anyway you were made to be eaten. We should behappy that we are part of the great feast of Passover."

"Not I," said the enchanted matzoh, "I want to see the world."

Just then the box was removed from the shelf. A voice that sounded like thunder to the matzos said, "Let's open the box ofmatzos now."

It was Mom getting everything ready for the big night. The children were helping. Brother lifted the box off the shelf andcarefully opened it.

The matzos all blinked when the light hit them, but no one said a word. Matzos know better than to talk when humans arearound.

"Let me pick the three for the seder plate," said Sister.

She picked three matzos and wrapped them tidily in the matzoh cover, but what she didn't know was that the one in themiddle was the enchanted matzoh.

Later when grandma and grandpa, the aunts, uncles and cousins arrived, they all sat down at the dining room table topartake in the Seder.

Just then, Pup came barking into the room. He wanted to share the Seder too.

Dad laughed, but told Pup that this was a serious feast and there was no place for a dog in it. Brother picked up Pup and puthim out in the back yard.

Now the Seder began. Dad sang the Kiddush and made the blessing over the matzos. He then took the middle matzoh,wrapped it carefully in a napkin, and went into another room to hide it. This was the afikomen. The children tried hard not topeek. They knew that the one who found it later in the evening would get a nice prize.

Dad had hidden the enchanted matzoh on the bedroom windowsill behind the venetian blind. In his rush to hide it and getback to the table, he hadn't noticed that the window behind the blind was open.

The enchanted matzoh noticed it and said, "Good, here is my chance to run away and see the world."He slowly inched along the windowsill, pushed himself closer and closer to the edge. He held his breath---- and jumped.

He fell down and down and down. "Oh my," he cried. I'm going to break into a million pieces."

Suddenly he stopped falling. Luckily the ground under the window was soft and covered with grass. That, plus the protectionof the napkin in which he was wrapped, prevented him from being broken.

The matzoh looked around. All he could see was the darkness of the night. "The world is not so nice," he thought.

He tried to move, but as he had no legs, he could only push himself along very slowly. Suddenly he felt himself being sniffedand pushed by a wet nose.

"What is this?" he cried. "Am I to be eaten after all by this beast?"

36

Meanwhile the Seder was coming slowly to the end of the meal.

"Now," said Dad, "the children will look for the afikomen. The child who finds it will win a big box of chocolate matzos.

Brother and Sister and all the cousins left the table and swarmed all over the house looking for the hidden matzoh. Soonthey all returned to the table disappointed.

Nobody had found the afikomen.

Dad was puzzled, but as it was getting late, he suggested that the Seder continue and the children could look again after theservice ended.

Now it was time for Elijah's visit. An extra cup of wine is always placed on the Seder table for the prophet, Elijah. After theSeder meal, the door of the house is opened to welcome Elijah's spirit.

Sister went to the door and opened it. As she returned to her seat, Dad told the story of Elijah. As he said the words, "We nowwelcome Elijah," in through the door walked Pup and in his mouth was the missing matzoh.

Pup dropped it in front of Dad and wagged his tail. Dad laughed and said. "Yes, Pup, you found the afikomen so you win theprize. But as chocolate matzos are not good for you, we'll give you a nice bone and all the children will share the candy."

When the service ended the children ate the chocolate matzos for dessert.

In the excitement everybody forgot about the enchanted matzoh. Nobody ate it. When Mom found it in its napkin, she put itaside. "There's something special about this matzoh," she said. It's best we keep it for good luck."

Miriam's CupMiriam's CupContributed by Contributed by Rachel Luxemburg Rachel Luxemburg Source:Source: Compilation

In the years of wandering in the desert, Miriam's well accompanied the Israelites. Accodring to tradition, Miriam's well is stillwith us. Every Saturday night, at the end of Shabbat, its waters flow out into wells everywhere in the world.

While the return of Elijah is left to the future and all its potential, Miriam is present with us always. She and her waterssustain us as we await Elijah. She is here to provide healing, inspiration, and wisdom.

There is still a long journey to freedom, a long time before Elijah will herald the Messicanic age. Miriam calls is to work for --not to passively wait for -- that day. She sustains us with the most basic substance on earth: water. She also lifts our hearsas she leads us in song and dance.

Elijah's cup remains untouched by us. But we now drink from Miriam's cup, the nurtuing waters of Miriam's well.

MY FAVORITE CLEAN SEDER JOKES

By Rabbi Daniel Brenner

In order to keep my kids and their cousins entertained during Pesach, I have a “Joke Bank” an envelope in which I keep thefollowing jokes, all printed out on little slips of paper. If the kids get wild, I say, “pay attention for the next ten seconds and you’ll get to pick a joke.” They love it. Of course many of these jokes are groaners, but, hey, they are the best the internet hasto offer.

Q: Why do we have an Haggadah at Passover?A: So we can Seder right words.

A British Jew is waiting in line to be knighted by the Queen. He is to kneel in front of her and recite a sentence in Latin whenshe taps him on the shoulders with her sword. However, when his turn comes, he panics in the excitement of the momentand forgets the Latin. Then, thinking fast, he recites the only other sentence he knows in a foreign language, which heremembers from the Passover seder:

"Ma nishtana ha layla ha zeh mi kol ha laylot."

Puzzled, Her Majesty turns to her advisor and whispers, "Why is this knight different from all other knights?"

A little boy once returned home from Hebrew school and his father asked, "what did you learn today?"

He answered, "The Rabbi told us how Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt."

"How?"

The boy said "Moses was a big strong man and he beat Pharoah up. Then while he was down, he got all the people togetherand ran towards the sea. When he got there, he has the Corps of Engineers build a huge pontoon bridge. Once they got onthe other side, they blew up the bridge while the Egyptians were trying to cross."

The father was shocked. "Is that what the Rabbi taught you?"

The boy replied, "No. But you'd never beleive the story he DID tell us!"

As Moses and the children of Israel were crossing the Red Sea, the children of Israel began to complain to Moses of howthirsty they were after walking so far. Unfortunately, they were not able to drink from the walls of water on either side ofthem, as they were made up of salt-water.

Then, a fish from that wall of water told Moses that he and his family heard the complaints of the people, but that theythrough their own gills could remove the salt from the water and force it out of their mouths like a fresh water fountain forthe Israelites to drink from as they walked by.

Moses accepted this kindly fish's offer. But before the fish and his family began to help, they told Moses they had a demand.They and their descendants had to be always present at the seder meal that would be established to commemorate theExodus, since they had a part in the story. When Moses agreed to this, he gave them their name which remains how they areknown to this very day, for he said to them, "Go Filter Fish!"

A group of leading medical researchers has published data indicating that Seder participants should NOT partake of bothchopped liver and charoses. It seems that this combination can lead to Charoses of the Liver.

What kind of cheese do I eat on Pesach?

Matzo-rella

Who was the best businesswoman in the Bible?

Pharaoh's daughter, she pulled a profit out of the water.

The Jews are camped in front of the Red Sea. They see the Egyptian chariots approaching. Moses turns to his PR man.

Moses - "Nu, where are those boats you got us?"

PR Guy - "Boats? You didn't say nothing 'bout no boats."

Moses - "So what do you want I should do? Part the waters and we can all just walk across?"

PR Guy - "If you can swing that, I'll get you your own chapter in the Bible!"

Did you know that the horseradish root goes back in time as far as the matzoh does? The horseradish root also crossed theRed Sea with the fleeing Israelites. The Israelites were slaves at the time and only had access to a few vegetables. The hardand woody horseradish was one of them and was a household staple. Nearly all the fleeing Israelites took horseradish with them. Moshe and Sadie, however, while gathering up their scantbelongings, found to their dismay that they had run out of horseradish. Sadie immediately sent Moshe into the field to dig upa large horseradish root to take with them. However, because it was dark and everyone was running around in panic, Moshedug up a ginger root by mistake. After forty years in the desert, the Israelites finally entered the Promised Land – all, that is, except Moshe and Sadie. It tookthem forty-one years to arrive. When asked where they had been, Sadie, now grown old, shrugged her shoulders and replied,"Moshe insisted on taking an alternative root."

Moshe has been living in Poland all his life, but just before the 2nd World War, he sees big trouble coming. So he sells all hisassets, converts them into gold and then melts down the gold to have five sets of false teeth made for him. He flees Polandand after much travelling, arrives at Ellis Island, New York, where he is interrogated by an immigration official who also goesthrough the contents of his battered suitcase. When the official sees the 5 sets of false teeth, he asks Moshe why he has so many. Moshe replies, "As you might know, weorthodox Jews have two separate sets of dishes, one for meat and one for dairy products. However, I’m so kosher and

50

religious that I also need to have separate sets of teeth." The official is confused. "Well that accounts for two sets of teeth. What are the other three for?" "Well," Moshe replies, "we ultra-Orthodox Jews also use separate dishes for Passover and I’m so observant that I need twosets of Passover teeth to go with the dishes, one for meat and one for dairy food." The official is still confused. "You've convinced me that you're a highly religious man and I accept that you therefore needfour sets of teeth. But what about the fifth set?" "Well, to tell you the truth, mister official," replies Moshe, "every once in a while I like to eat a ham and cheese sandwich."

After the tenth plague, the slaying of all the Egyptian first born, the Pharaoh told Moses the Jews were free to leave Egypt.So, the Jews packed their carts with their belongings and tried to leave. The problem was, with all the dead Egyptians, thefuneral homes could not handle the demand. The end result was streets littered with coffins. With the streets impassable,the Jews couldn't get there carts out of their driveways.

They complained to Moses. "We can't get out of Egypt unless you do something about these blocked streets". Moses in turn,called out to God. "Lord, please do something about this coffin problem." With all the commotion, it was hard for God to hearwhat Moses was saying. He thought Moses said 'Coughin" and responded by turning all the wine into cough syrup. And thatis why, to this day, Jews drink Passover wine that resembles cough syrup.

What's the difference between matzoh and cardboard??Cardboard doesn't leave crumbs in the rug!
