Hi Eve,

The text looks great!

I was curious as to where you sourced this text from, and the eng translation. I’m keen on adapting it to make a haggadah of my own and wanted to know if it has undergone a checking and editing process already, and how you ensured there were no missing words or paragraphs.

Thanks!

The Hebrew is from the Heidenheim haggadah. The English is all me. I went over it this year, but I’m sure it could use some more editing/proofreading. I’d also appreciate any feedback.

I can’t seem to locate the text (English translation). Where is the link?

A wordpress plugin update yesterday had an unintended consequence. The problem should be fixed now. At the very least, it’s a good argument for making the texts available in additional open formats (besides HTML). Thank you for mentioning this as it affected the entire site!

I published this Haggadah as a print book under the name “Haggadah with Gender-Neutral Language” by Nancy Quinn Collins, with the following changes: I have removed all the words in the Hebrew alphabet, and changed all the gender-specific words not referring to a specific person or persons of a certain gender to make them gender-neutral. For example I have changed father to parent in the song about the goat bought for two zuzim, and I use words such as One and Creator instead of G-d, including in quotations from scripture, which I believe is a more correct translation. I have also removed “son of [name of father]” from the Haggadah because it does not include the mother’s name as well, and I removed “Teraḥ, father of Abraham and father of Naḥor” for the same reason, replacing the latter quote with ellipses as it is part of scripture. Likewise for similar reasons of gender equality I have removed the quote “and I gave him Isaac. And I gave Isaac Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau Mount Seir to inherit, and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt,” replacing it with ellipses, and changed “covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” to simply “covenant…”, and removed “the house of Jacob” from “the house of Jacob from a foreign land”, and “of Jacob” from “Creator of Jacob”. Likewise for the same reasons I have changed “the family of David to “the family of David and Bathsheba” and changed “Your servant David” to “Your servants David and Bathesheba”, and removed “of Jacob” from “Holy One of Jacob” and removed “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” from “our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”, and changed “family of Aaron” to “family of Aaron and Elisheba”, and changed “passed over the son” to “passed over the offspring”, and changed “devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitations” to “devoured Israel and laid waste our habitations” and changed “brings salvation to His king and acts kindly to Their anointed one, to David” to “acts kindly to David and Bathsheba” and changed “the songs and praises of David, Your anointed servant” to “all other songs and praises”.
