  • The Four Questions: a Seder Source-Pack
    There is a famous story about Isidor I. Rabi, the Nobel laureate in physics, who was once asked why he decided to become a scientist rather than a doctor, lawyer, or businessman like most of the other children from his immigrant neighborhood. Rabi credited his career choice to his Mom. He wrote, “My mother made me a scientist without ever intending it. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: ‘Nu? Did you learn something today?’ But not my mother. She always asked me a different question. ‘Izzy,’ she would say, ‘Did you ask a good question today?’ That difference – asking good questions – made me become a scientist.” (Donald Scheff, New York Times, Jan. 19, 1988) This week we finally arrive at the holiday of questions, the sacred festival of Passover which begins on Monday night. We will gather around seder tables with family and friends, telling the tale of the Exodus and reciting an ancient liturgy, adding our own personal songs and traditions, recipes and family stories into the mix. For many of us, the iconic moment of the Passover seder is the singing of the Four Questions, an age-old rite of passage traditionally reserved for the very youngest amongst us. Some of us will remember warbling out these lines for the very first time, perhaps taunted or encouraged by older siblings and cousins; others will reminisce about teaching these verses to our children and grand- children, delighting in their every word. Either way, the Four Questions are not only nostalgic but also essential.

  • A Trilingual Humanist Haggadah for Passover
    A Trilingual Humanist Haggadah for Passover Compiled and edited by Cecilia Kremer and Sandra Mayo We have come together to honor our Jewish deep historic roots and its old important memories. Each of us is an extension of the past. We are more than individuals. We have connections. We receive our inheritance; we leave our legacy. We are here to remember the old story of the liberation of our people from slavery in Egypt (Mitzraim), a great struggle for freedom and dignity. We are here also to remember all people – Jews and non-Jews – who are still struggling for their freedom. To set the tone for the night, let us sing: Hee-nay Ma Tov ִהנֵּה ַמה טוֹב ַוּמה ִנָּעים ֶשׁ ֶבת ִאָחים ַגּם יַ ַחד Hine(y) ma tov u’ma-nayim Shevet ach-im gam ya-chad Behold, how good and pleasant it is For brothers and sisters to live together in unity 1 Welcome to our Seder Bienvenidos a nuestro Séder We come from many places. Our collective experience encompasses different cultures, faiths, traditions, and beliefs. We are in so many ways fundamentally different from one another. But just as we are different, so are we alike. We are all capable of loving, caring, being compassionate and empathic. We are all capable of hating, fearing, being blinded by prejudice and xenophobia. We all share feelings. Feelings of joy, feelings of sadness, feelings of wholeness, feelings of pain. Our lives are defined by the contrast between sweet moments and moments of sorrow. In spite of all that makes us different, let us be capable of sharing and receiving from one another.

  • The Pardes Companion to the Haggadah
    13lurc v,t The Pardes Companion to the Haggadah Introduction Yaffa Epstein Pesach is a time of inclusion. On seder night, there are two moments where we metaphorically open our doors and invite others in. One is at the opening of the Magid portion of the seder, when we say, “All who are hungry come and eat.” There is a beautiful message here: we were once slaves; poor and hungry, and we remember our redemption by sharing what we have with others. The other, comes towards the end of the seder, when we have the custom of pouring a fifth cup of wine, which we claim is for Elijah the Prophet.This is a statement of faith, a statement that says that although we are a free people, our redemption is not yet complete, and we believe that it will come. From the most downtrodden to the most celebrated, the message is clear: everyone is welcome, and everyone is necessary. Why is it that we go out of our way to include all at our seder table? Perhaps it is because when we make room for others, we have the opportunity to make room for ourselves as well. In fact, the Mishnah (Pesahim 10:5) teaches us that: In every generation a person is obligated to“ "בכל דור ודור חייב אדם לראות את ”.see themselves as if they left Egypt עצמו כאילו הוא יצא ממצרים." The seder presents us with the obligation of identifying with the generation that left Egypt and internalizing that experience. And through that internalization, we come to feel the redemption as if it was our own as well.

We will eat a great meal together and tell the story of our ancestors’ liberation from slavery. We welcome our friends from other backgrounds to reflect with us on the meaning of freedom in all our lives and histories. We will consider the blessings in our lives, pledge to work harder at freeing those who still suffer, and begin to cast off the things in our own lives that oppress us.

  • The Knesset Building in Giv'at Ram: Planning and Construction
    The Knesset Building in Giv’at Ram: Planning and Construction Originally published in Cathedra Magazine, 96th Edition, July 2000 Written by Dr. Susan Hattis Rolef Introduction Already in the early days of modern Zionism, it was clear to those who envisioned the establishment of a Jewish State, and those who acted to realize the vision, that once it was established, it would be a democracy, in which a parliament would be built. In his book Altneuland (written in 1902), Theodor Herzl, described the parliament of the Jewish state in Jerusalem in the following words: “[A] great crowd was massed before (the Congress House). The election was to take place in the lofty council chamber built of solid marble and lighted from above through matte glass. The auditorium seats were still empty, because the delegates were still in the lobbies and committee rooms, engaged in exceedingly hot discussion…" 1 In his book Yerushalayim Habnuya (written in 1918), Boris Schatz, who had established the Bezalel school of arts and crafts, placed the parliament of the Jewish State on Mount Olives: "Mount Olives ceased to be a mountain of the dead… it is now the mountain of life…the round building close to [the Hall of Peace] is our parliament, in which the Sanhedrin sits".2 When in the 1920s the German born architect, Richard Kaufmann, presented to the British authorities his plan for the Talpiot neighborhood, that was designed to be a Jerusalem garden neighborhood, it included an unidentified building of large dimensions. When he was asked about the meaning of the building he relied in German: "this is our parliament building".

  • The Nitra Synagogue
    THE NITRA SYNAGOGUE EURÓPSKA ÚNIA Project was co-fi nanced by ERDF – EU funds „Investícia do Vašej budúcnosti“ „Investment into your future“ discover the place, live the story For centuries Nitra was one of the most signifi cant centres of Jewish life in Slovakia. Th e fi rst written record of Jewish presence in this territory, known as Mons Judeorum (Jewish Hill), can be already found in the second Zobor Deed, dating back to 1113; however, the archaeological discoveries of Jewish cemetery remains prove the existence of a Jewish community in the area at least one century earlier. Th e Jews mainly had the statute of Kalisz, royal tax collectors, although they were tradesmen and, to a lesser extent, craft smen. Experts believe that part of Nitra known today as Párovce was where the Jews lived then – it is also proved by its name Castrum Judeorum (i.e. Jewish fortifi ed settlement), which this area carries from 1248. In the 18th century the Jewish community from Párovce became more and more involved in public administration and had its own reeve. A Jewish religious community was established in the mid 18th century and comprised 21 Jewish families with a rabbi and apparently a synagogue, which the fi rst record is about from 1766, when it was restored. In 1818 the community was granted the land adjacent to the old synagogue, to be expanded in 1820. A Jewish elementary school formed a part of it. Th ere were some oratories, a ritual bath from 1885, a hospice and a hospital. A secondary religious school Talmud Torah and especially a rabbinical school – Yeshiva (for which Jozef Engel, a maecenas from Nitra, had especially erected a building in 1903) were well- known all throughout the Habsburg-ruled Austro-Hungarian Empire.
