1st Night Virtual Seder Saturday, March 27, 2021 7:00 PM 15 Nisan 5781 Welcome to our Virtual Seder! We’ve prepared this Haggadah for you just for your Seder at home. It has Hebrew, transliteration, and English so that you can participate and follow along. It also has music for you to sing with your family and to join in virtually with the community who will be online. This Haggadah also has a list of what you will need for your Seder at home as well as some directions how to set up your Seder table. We’ve also included a special Teshuvah Sheet for you and your family to do some “inner work” prior to the holiday. Your responses might also provide for some thoughtful conversation around the table with your family. We wish you a wonderful and spirit-filled Passover. This year, may we truly be free! Chag same’ach from Congregation Beit T’shuvah! Teshuvah Worksheet for Passover How I Have Missed the Mark For personal reflection, healing, goal-setting, and liberation This worksheet should be completed in preparation for Passover What is the Pharoah in my life that continues to keep me enslaved? How has this Pharoah continued to keep me enslaved? What is it in me that allows me to stay enslaved and does not allow me to escape from my Pharoah? How have I enslaved others this past year? How have I been “puffed up” like chametz this past year, that is, how have I not allowed my ego to be “right- sized”? How have I betrayed my G-d/Higher Power this past year? How have I not lived up to my fullest potential this past year? How do I do teshuvah for these past actions and improve myself, my relationship with others and my relationship with G-d? Based on and Adapted from “Pesach—The Liberation of the Soul Kit” by Rabbi Mark Borovitz Teshuvah Worksheet for Passover How I Have Hit the Mark For personal reflection, healing, goal-setting, and liberation This worksheet should be completed in preparation for Passover Like the Wise Child, how did I strive to find solutions this past year? Like the Wicked Child, how did I transform my negative attitude into a positive attitude? Like the Simple Child, how did I learn to just do the “next right thing”? Like the Child who does not know how to ask, how and when did I learn to ask for help? How have I been like matzah this past year, that is, how have I been humble and “right-sized”? How have I been loyal to my true self? How have I acknowledged my capacity for sacrifice and given up my former enslaved lifestyle? How have I turned to community for support rather than isolating with my enslaved self?
