Haggadah Pesach 2020 A quick and virtual way to lead a Seder LEADER: “Welcome to our interactive virtual Seder and Chag Sameach to everyone! This Seder isdefinitely different to other Seders so hold on to your Matzahs and please join in! Let’s sing the order of the Seder together first.” The Order of the Seder: LEADER: “Now we’ll say Kiddush on the first cup of wine. Please join me for the Kiddush and Bracha” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Baruch atah A-donay, Elo-heinu Melech Ha’Olam borei pri hagafen. (Amen)” ּבָּ רּוְך אַתָּ ה יְֱּ-יֱָּ אֱ-ֹלהֵ ינּו מֶלֶ ְך הָּ עֹולָּ ם ּבֹורֵ א פְּרִ י הַ גָּפֶ ן “Blessed are you, the maker of the fruit of the vine!” (Drink the First Cup of Wine) LEADER: “Let’s recite the Shehechiyanu prayer together.” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Thank you G-d for bringing us to this time and place, who has granted us life and sustained us. Baruch Ata A-donay E-lohenu Melech Ha-olam, She-hechiyanu, V’kimanu, V’heegianu, La’zman hazeh. (Amen)” LEADER: “Now we come to the Matzah” LEADER (holding Matzah high): “This is the bread that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. All who are hungry, come and eat, all who are in distress, come share Passover with us! This year we are here, next year let’s celebrate in Jerusalem. This year we are slaves, next year may we be free! Now, we have four questions. Let’s sing together the Ma Nishtanah.” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Ma nishtanah halailah hazeh mikol haleilot? Sheb'khol haleilot anu okhlin hametz uMatzah; halailah hazeh [x2], kuloh Matzah. [x2] Sheb'khol haleilot anu okhlin sh'ar y'rakot; halailah hazeh [x2], kulo maror. [x2] Sheb'khol haleilot ein anu matbilin afilu pa'am ehat; halailah hazeh [x2] , shtei f'amim. [x2] Sheb'khol haleilot anu okhlin bein yoshvin uvein m'subin; halailah hazeh [x2], kulanu m'subin. [x2] ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: 1. Why is it that on all other nights we eat leavened bread or Matzah, and on this night only Matzah? 2. Why is it that on all nights we eat various vegetables, and on this night, bitter herbs? 3. Why is it that on all other nights we need not dip even once, and on this night we dip twice? 4. Why is it that on all nights we eat sitting upright or reclining, and on this night we all recline? ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Ha lachma anya di achalu avhatana b’ara d’mitzrayim. Kol dichfin yeitei v’yeichol, kol ditzrich yeitei v’yifsach. Hashata hacha, l’shanah habaah b’ara d’Yisrael. Hashata avdei, l’shanah habaah b’nei chorin.” “We were slaves in Egypt. G-d lifted us out with awesome miracles. Had G-d not taken us out of Egypt, then what? We, and our children, and our children’s children would still be slaves in Egypt! Therefore, even if we were all wise people of understanding, all elders well-versed in the Torah, we would still be commanded to tell about the Exodus from Egypt. All people who discuss the story of Passover at length are praiseworthy.” LEADER: “The Torah reflects upon four types of children: One Wise, One Evil, One Simple, and One Who Doesn’t Know How To Ask. GUIDE the wise one through the obligations of Passover. TELL the Wicked one, we need you to be part of our people. EXPLAIN to the Simple One, “with a strong hand G- d brought us out of Egypt.” ENGAGE the one who doesn’t know how to ask, make that child feel comfortable, and tell them about the Exodus.” (Take a drop of juice/wine from the cup for each plague) LEADER: “Here are ten plagues which G-d brought upon the Egyptians: Blood Frogs Lice Wild Beasts Disease Boils Hail and Fire Locusts Darkness Death of the First Born” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: (Dayenu:1st 3 verses and chorus) “Ilu hotzi hotzianu hotznianu mimitzrayim, hotznianu mimitzrayim, DAYENU Ilu asah asah vahem, asah vahem sh’fatim, asah vahem sh’fatim, DAYENU. Ilu asah vailoheihem, Ilu asah vailoheihem, Ilu asah vailoheihem, DAYENU.” “If G-d had taken us out of Egypt and not punished our enemies, it would've been enough. If G-d punished our enemies and not parted the Red Sea, it would've been enough. If G-d brought us the Torah, but not brought us to Israel, it would have been enough! If G-d brought us to Israel, but didn’t build a Temple, it would have been enough.” LEADER: “Whoever does not discuss three things on Passover has not fulfilled their obligations: Pesach, Matzah and Maror.” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER (point to the shankbone): “PESACH is the sacrifice our ancestors would eat during the time of the Temple, because G-d passed over the houses of our ancestors in Egypt.” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER (point to Matzah): “This is MATZAH. Because the dough of our ancestors did not have time to rise before G-d redeemed them from Egypt.” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER (point to Maror): “This is MAROR - why do we eat it? Because the Egyptians oppressed our ancestors in Egypt, they made their lives bitter with hard labour, with mortar and bricks, and other hardships.” LEADER: “Friends, in every generation we need to feel like WE had left Egypt. So now we thank and praise G-d for the miracles of the Exodus. Thank you Hashem for everything!” ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Baruch atah A-donay, Elo-heinu Melech Ha’Olam borei pri hagafen. (Amen)” “Blessed is the maker of the fruit of the vine!” (Drink the Second Cup of Wine) LEADER: “Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melech ha olam, ha motzi lechem min Haaretz. (Amen) Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melech haolam asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v tzivanu al achilat Matzah. (Amen)” (Everyone eat Matzah) “Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melech haolam asher kidshanu b mitzvotav v tzivanu al achilat maror. (Amen)” Blessed is the maker of bread. Blessed is G-d who commanded us to eat Matzah! “Baruch ata adonai ha motzi lechem min haaretz, (Amen)” Blessed is G-d who commanded us to eat Maror! (Everyone eat Maror – horseradish or Romain lettuce) (LEADER/RABBI will combine the Passover offering of the Matzah and Maror and Charoset together in a sandwich and eat them to fulfil the words of the Torah.) LEADER: “They shall eat it with Matzah and bitter herbs.” “Now let’s all enjoy our Pesach meal together.” (Drink the Third Cup of Wine) ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Baruch atah A-donay, Elo-heinu Melech Ha’Olam borei pri hagafen. (Amen)” “Thank you G-d for this delicious meal! Blessed is the maker of the fruit of the vine!” ּבָּ רּוְך אַתָּ ה יְֱּ-יֱָּ אֱ-ֹלהֵ ינּו מֶלֶ ְך הָּ עֹולָּ ם ּבֹורֵ א פְּרִ י הַ גָּפֶ ן ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Oseh Shalom bimromav, who ya’aseh shalom aleinu, v al kol yisrael, v’imru, amen! Yaaseh shalom, yaaseh shalom, shalom aleinu, v al kol yisrael. (Drink the Fourth Cup Of Wine) ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “Baruch atah A-donay, Elo-heinu Melech Ha’Olam borei pri hagafen. (Amen)” “G-d bring peace to the Jewish People! Blessed is the maker of the fruit of the vine!” ּבָּ רּוְך אַתָּ ה יְֱּ-יֱָּ אֱ-ֹלהֵ ינּו מֶלֶ ְך הָּ עֹולָּ ם ּבֹורֵ א פְּרִ י הַ גָּפֶ ן ALL PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER: “LESHANA HABA B’ YERUSHALAYIM” “NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM!” Adapted from The Ten Minute Seder | ©2012 Rabbi Yonah Bookstein | Make copies please! | www.rabbiyonah.com | @rabbiyonah .
