Special Guidance for Passover 2020
APRIL 6, 2020 SPECIAL GUIDANCE FOR PASSOVER 2020 Rabbi Adam Zeff Dear friends, Every Pesah is different, but we approach the Passover season this year in extraordinarily difficult times. The story of the Exodus from Egypt asks us to identify ourselves with the suffering of the Israelites, filled with anxiety, fear, and distress, worried for their families and for their lives. This year more than any in recent memory that identification rings true. But the Jewish people have celebrated this Festival of Freedom in difficult circumstances before, and we will manage to do so this year as well! To that end, I wanted to provide some guidance and resources for these special circumstances and for changes we may need to make to our traditional celebrations as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shape every aspect of our lives. Learning in advance How to Lead a Seder: an online resource to help prepare those of us who may unexpectedly be leading our own seder to do so. It covers: • How can we get meaning out of the haggadah this year? • What are the really essential parts of a seder? • Is it really possible to lead a seder on Zoom?? (hint: yes!) Tips on organizing a seder in the time of COVID-19 Visit www.phila.gov/COVID for more information • Text COVIDPHL to 888-777 to receive updates to your phone Call (800) 722-7112 to speak to a health care professional on the Greater Philadelphia Coronavirus Helpline 1 APRIL 6, 2020 • No (physical) guests: Following the guidance of public health authorities, we should not gather physically even in small groups except for household members. -

Passover Seder Plate Guide
From The Shiksa in the Kitchen Recipe Archives http://www.theshiksa.com PASSOVER SEDER PLATE BLESSINGS Here is a brief explanation of the Seder plate blessings and their meaning. Share with your children as you decorate your Homemade Passover Seder Plate! Beitzah - Egg Blessing: The hard-boiled egg serves as a reminder of the “Festival Offering.” It is dipped in saltwater and eaten at the beginning of the Seder Meal. It symbolizes both the celebration of the festivals and the mourning of the loss of the Temple in Jerusalem. Its round shape also represents the cycle of life and things eventually returning to where they began – a hope that the Temple will one day be restored in Jerusalem. Maror - Bitter Herb Blessing: Usually made of romaine lettuce or endive leaves and ground horseradish, it is dipped in the charoset and eaten. The maror represents the “bitterness” and hard labor endured by the Jewish people while slaves in Egypt. It also represents the bitterness of the Exile. It serves as a reminder of the unhappiness that inspires us to improve our lives. Zeroah - Shank Bone: The shank bone, with most of the meat removed, is not eaten but instead serves as a reminder of the lamb, or young goat, that was offered to God in the Holy Temple on the night the Jewish people fled from Egypt. It symbolizes God’s love when “passing over” the houses of the Jews on the night of Exodus, when the Egyptian first born died. It represents the ability to exceed our limitations. Charoset – Mortar Blessing: The charoset, a paste-like mixture of fruit, nuts and wine, is a symbol of the mortar used by the Jewish slaves in the construction of the Pharaoh’s pyramids. -

A Traditional Messianic Seder
The PASSOVER HAGGADAH A Traditional Messianic Seder By Pastor Eric Michael Teitelman House of David Ministries Forward The Exodus from Egypt and the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery marked the birth of the nation of Israel, and is considered by the Jewish people to be the single most important event in their history. The delivery itself was both miraculous and divinely orchestrated entirely at His hand. The Lord had sent Moses to Pharaoh to deliver this message; “Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness” (Exodus 5:1, NKJV).1 Their subsequent liberation was for the sole purpose of serving God—including the sacrifice of animals that were considered sacred to the Egyptians. This request came with the possible repercussion of death. Therefore, the first Passover is considered one of divine faith, and is different from future Passovers which are those of remembrance. In the third month after the Exodus, the Lord established His Mosaic covenant with Israel; establishing their law, priesthood, calendar, and their holy convocations. And He purposed to fulfill His promise with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to deliver their descendants into the land of Canaan, and give it to them as an eternal inheritance.2 As such, the celebration of the Passover—commanded to be observed with the roasting of a Paschal Lamb, and eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs— was consecrated as an eternal ordinance of remembrance with the nation of Israel.3 And for more than three-thousand years, the Jewish people have been celebrating this occurrence each year in what is called a Seder, meaning “order” of the Passover. -

THE DEEPER MEANING OF PESACH RABBI DEBORAH SILVER INTRODUCTION h, the Pesach seder! Tablecloths stained with spilled wine, Haggadot brought down from distant closets, the seder Aplate polished up once again. Aren’t we glad to be here? Yet Pesach runs the risk of being rather like Ebenezer Scrooge’s Christmas Past - hung about with pleasant memories that distance rather than include us. In the same way, the seder runs the risk of being on the wrong side of predictable - boring rather than reassuring, sentimental rather than genuinely feeling, complacent rather than inspiring. Perhaps part of the reason for this is that the seder is one of the most consistently observed Jewish practices. Most of us can probably remember seders from our childhood, and there are those of us who might even have the occasion commemorated in photographs or on film. But this is a festival which bears a closer examination. The story of the birth of the Jewish people is permeated with rich layers of meaning. In this essay we will shake out the crumbs, as it were, and see what we can make of the pattern on the tablecloth. To begin with, let’s look at the number of times that we mention the number four at the seder: We drink four cups of wine. -
