For example, in Breishit Rabba (20:7) the Midrash says that there are four natural forms of love and attraction and that one of those is the attraction of Hashem to the Jewish people: there is no attraction like that of the Holy One Blessed be He“ ”ואין תשוקתו של הקב"ה אלא על ישראל“ I am“ ,”אני לדודי ועלי תשוקתו“ for Israel”. This is based on the pasuk in Shir Hashirim (7:11) which says to my beloved and his desire is for me”. Rav Yechezkel Levenstein z”l, the Mashgiach of the Ponovezh Yeshiva would regularly speak of this concept in his drashot around the chagim. He would point out that one of the manifestations of this love between Hashem and the Jewish people is the cycle of the chagim which are referred to as “moadim,” designated times.

  • A Socially Responsible Haggadah for a Chocolate Seder
    A Haggadah for a Socially Responsible Chocolate Seder ON THE CHOCOLATE TRAIL: A Delicious Adventure Connecting Jews, Religions, History, Travel, Rituals and Recipes to the Magic of Cacao (Jewish Lights) by Rabbi Deborah R. Prinz A Haggadah for a Socially Responsible Chocolate Seder A Supplement to the Book On the Chocolate Trail: A Delicious Adventure Connecting Jews, Religions, History, Travel, Rituals and Recipes to the Magic of Cacao (2nd Edition, published by Jewish Lights, 2017) Welcome to this feast of chocolate ritual foods celebrating the ancient seder and its many rich themes. This haggadah uses chocolate for the Seder’s ritual foods to further meaningful conversation about values and challenges related to chocolate. It furthers consideration of freedom, dignity and fairness as well as contemporary slavery, economic justice and fair trade. This text builds on A Growing Haggadah by Rabbi Mark Samuel Hurvitz and supplements the book, On the Chocolate Trail, particularly Chapter 11 “The Ethics of Chocolate: Shopping for the Best.” That chapter may assist with context and further thinking. You may also find some Seder embellishments when you review “A Consumer’s Guide to the Ethics of Chocolate: Buying the Best” in On the Chocolate Trail, p. 227. A Chocolate Seder Checklist Feel free to be creative in selecting chocolate items for this Seder table and celebration. Scheduling: *Convene this seder prior to Passover to consider these ideas in preparation for a home Seder. This eliminates a requirement for kosher for Passover chocolate. *Layer sections of this haggadah onto your Seder customs. *Use this haggadah for your second night Seder.
