  • From Purim to Pesach and Back
    RABBI’S MESSAGE From Purim to Pesach and Back The Hebrew calendar gives us a double blessing in the months of Adar and Nissan, with the holidays of Purim and Passover coming back-to-back. These celebrations are very different from each other, and yet the progression of one to the other on the calendar can give interesting ideas to explore. Both deal with bitter enemies and the possibility of genocidal extinction. The Purim villain, Haman, manipulates the Persian king into decreeing legalized murder of the Jewish people. Haman’s plan fails and the Jews retaliate. The Passover villain, Pharaoh, also threatens extinction by murdering Jewish baby boys at birth. This plan also fails, and the Israelites are redeemed by G-D’s “mighty hand and outstretched arm” to escape into the wilderness and eventually the Promised Land. From the 15th of Adar to the 15th of Nissan, the score is: Jews 2, Evil 0. Yes, both Purim and Pesach fulfill the traditional theme about Jewish holidays: “They tried to kill us. We survived. Let’s eat.” The survival elements and food are certainly part of our contemporary celebrations for both holidays. The threats occur differently, and so do our observances. While Passover precedes Purim chronologically, Purim precedes Passover on the calendar. I’ve often considered the various ways these two springtime festivals differ as ways to look at the growth of our people. In the Book of Esther, the name of God is not mentioned. In the traditional Passover Haggadah, the name of Moses is not mentioned. We are taught that Moses’ name was left out of the Haggadah for fear of deifying Moses.

  • Passover Haggadah
    PASSOVER HAGGADAH Compiled from various sources by Rabbi Ron Stern and Cantor Emma Lutz I love all sorts of stories but I have a particular fondness for short stories. It’s an extraordinary challenge: telling a compelling narrative in an economical way with a beginning, middle, and end that makes you think and even inspires you to act in certain ways. Passover is the quintessential Jewish storytelling time. Embedded in the Haggadah is the master narrative of our People. And whatever version you use—whether an old, stained Maxwell House edition or even one you’ve designed yourself—the essential message can be summed up quite succinctly: “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt. God freed us for a purpose.” This is our core story. Our empathy comes from our experience of having been strangers in a strange land. We were oppressed and so we have a special concern for the most vulnerable. And then we experienced the fulfilment of our collective dream: we were redeemed from bondage, we went forth a free people. But the story doesn’t end there, on the other side of the sea. We travel as a people to Sinai where the purpose of our freedom is revealed. Our job is to bring redemption to the world. It’s the greatest story ever told and it’s a great mitzvah—a deep and holy obligation— to re-tell it every year, to be inspired by it so that we can live its message. Chag Sameach. Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback Second Night Passover Seder HINEH MA TOV (PSALM 133) ִה ֵנּה ַמה־טּוֹב ַוּמ ָה־נּ ִﬠים ֶשׁ ֶבת ַא ִחים ַגּ ָם־י ַחד׃ Hinei mah tov u-mah naim, shevet achim gam yachad.

You are free to use this adapted service either as a companion to your favorite Haggadah or as an independent Haggadah.

We welcome you to add in or substitute any of the pieces included here, and hope that you may make the seder your own.

  • The Months of Spring: Purim Through Pesach
    The Months of Spring: Purim through Pesach The Months of Spring A Journey from Purim to Pesach In the Jewish world, we're moon-watchers, because each new month begins on the new month. In the late winter we look up into the night sky and sight the slim crescent New Moon of the Hebrew month called Adar, the month whose motto is: With the month of Adar, Joy increases! Why? - because winter is winding down, and the festival of Purim is coming! One month (moonth!) later we'll see the new moon of Nisan, which arrives in the night sky to really herald the coming of spring!. This new moon ushers in the month of Nisan, The Month of Spring: liberation from the tight cold of winter! Rebirth! On the full moon of Nisan - what happens? The festival of Pesach - Passover! - If we understand the spiritual journey that begins in Nisan, we'll have some of the tools we need to understand Purim and the gifts and challenges this seemingly minor holiday brings. So lets look at the month of Nisan first, and then come back to Adar and the festival of Purim. The month of Nisan, the month of spring, is sometimes called the month of "speaking," because Passover is in this month, and the Hebrew for Passover is PESACH. The rabbis extract a teaching from the word Pesach, which literally means to "pass over." But it happens that in Hebrew the verb sach means "to tell;" peh is "mouth." Thus Pesach, Passover, can also mean a "mouth that tells!" And what a story we tell! On the full moon of Nisan, we gather to share a Passover feast.
