How to Keep Passover in Your Home Dina Lima & Gianna Lima | Passover 2020 How to Keep Passover in Your Home Dina Lima & Gianna Lima | Passover 2020 Introduction Passover is the oldest of Biblical festivals. It is a special time to recount and celebrate the deliverance of the Children of Israel from 400 years of slavery in Egypt. The purpose of the celebration is to retell the story of God’s faithfulness and redemption, and pass it on from one generation to the next. God established several Feasts, appointed times, to meet with His people throughout the year. These celebrations are not just Jewish festivals. All believers who call on the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, can celebrate these feasts. “And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever. It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service. And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ That you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’ So the people bowed their heads and worshiped. Then the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.”—Exodus 12:24-28 All the Biblical Feasts serve as pictorial reminders of God’s covenants and promises with His people. They are moments to draw near to God out of love, not out of legalistic obligation; a time to reorient ourselves with God. By celebrating these feasts, all believers in Jesus, the Messiah, have a unique opportunity to reconnect with the Jewish roots of our faith, encounter God through Hebraic lenses, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. Definitions Passover: commemorates the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery and the exodus from Egypt Mo-‘ed: “appointed time,” refers to the Jewish festivals God established in the Old Testament Moadim: “appointed times,” plural form for “mo-‘ed” Seder: “order,” refers to the order of the Passover celebration 1 Haggadah: “telling,” a guide of the order and prayers for the Passover Seder Matzah: unleavened bread Matzah tosh: the matzah cover, which has three layers for the matzah Biblical Background Passover is an eternal Mo-‘ed. In the Bible, we find the concept of appointed times, which are special dates God scheduled to meet with His people. Exodus 12:14 (TLV) This day is to be a memorial for you. You are to keep it as a feast to Adonai. Throughout your generations you are to keep it as an eternal ordinance. Leviticus 23:4–5 (TLV) These are the appointed feasts [moadim] of Adonai, holy convocations which you are to proclaim in their appointed season [mo-‘ed]. During the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai’s Passover. Jesus, The Passover Lamb Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples and will one day celebrate it with us, the Church, all those who believe in him. Jesus is our Passover Lamb. He chose to give his life so that through his death the entire world may live. Matthew 26:26-29 (TLV) Now while they were eating, Yeshua took matzah [bread]; and after He offered the bracha [blessing], He broke and gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” And He took a cup; and after giving thanks, He gave to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the removal of sins. But I say to you, I will never drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.” Luke 22:14-16 (TLV) When the hour came, Yeshua reclined at table, and the emissaries with Him. And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will never eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God…” 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 (TLV) And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you. Do this in memory of Me.” In the same way, He also took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in memory of Me.” Biblical Elements Over the centuries, the traditional celebration of Passover has developed to include other elements. According to Exodus 12:8, the three essential elements to commemorate Passover are: 2 Matzah (unleavened bread) Bitter herbs (horseradish) Lamb shank bone (NOTE: Ashkenazi Jews do not eat lamb at Passover because the animal cannot be sacrificed at the Temple, Deut. 16:6. The bone is used for the center plate which reminds of the lack of the sacrifice.) Keeping Passover in 4 Easy Steps Step 1: Gather the Passover Seder Elements Step 2: Prepare a Special Meal Step 3: Set the Seder Table Step 4: Do The Seder Step 1: Gather the Passover Seder Elements You’ll need the following elements, some per person (see the Resources page for links on where to buy). All the elements below have special meaning. The Haggadah elaborates on their symbolism. Haggadah booklet/handout – per person Set of Candlesticks 2 Candles (white) Box of Matzah Matzah Tosh/Bag or napkin(s) – NOTE: must have 2 dividers as you’ll insert 3 matzah in between; see examples in the next page. During the Seder, the leader will break the middle matzah in half; one half will be wrapped in a napkin and hidden for the children to find; the other half is placed back in the middle. Believers in Jesus see the 3 matzah as a picture of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The middle matzah represents Yeshua who was afflicted, bruised and buried, like the matzah, without leaven (sin). Juice Goblet – per person Grape Juice or wine – per person Seder Plate or any plate Lamb Shank Bone Maror - horseradish – per person Charoset – per person – apples, nuts, honey, cinnamon; NOTE: you can leave out in consideration of guests with nut allergies) Parsley and Lettuce/Celery – per person Beytzah – roasted egg (hard boiled, brown) – per person Bowl of Salt Water – per person A special meal/dinner An afikoman bag – A Passover favorite for children includes finding the afikoman, where a large piece of a matzah is hidden during the Seder. The tradition is for children to search for the afikoman and whoever finds it receives some kind of reward. Here’s an inspired idea for a home-made afikomen bag: https://bit.ly/2WaKvdq 3 Center Plate with Passover Seder Elements Lamb shank bone, Maror (horseradish), Beytzah (roasted egg), Lettuce/Celery, Charoset, Parsley, Bowl of salt water Matzah Tosh – Unleavened Bread Bag Bowl with Saltwater 4 Step 2: Prepare a Special Meal Passover is a dinner, a special time to remember and celebrate God’s faithfulness.

  • 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.

In prison, many Jewish inmates request access to a Seder and to kosher-for-Passover food for the eight-day holiday. Prisoners’ requests to celebrate Passover provide a rich example for exploring the Religious Land Use and Institutional Persons Act (RLUIPA) and raise a host of tough questions regarding cost, safety, equal treatment of prisoners, and establishment of religion.

  • Netzer Olami Pesach Choveret
    Passover פסח - Pesach Passover: History The name Pesach is derived from the Hebrew word pasach, which means "passed over," which is also the source of the comm on English name for the holiday. It recalls the miraculous tenth plague when all the Egyptian firstborn were killed, but the Israelites were spared. The story of Passover originates in the Bible as the telling of the Exodus from Egypt. The Torah recounts how the Children of Israel were enslaved in Egypt by a Pharoah who feared them. After many generations of oppression, God speaks to an Israelite man named Moses and instructs him to go to Pharoah and let God's people go free. Pharoah refuses, and Moses, acting as God's messenger brings down a series of 10 plagues on Egypt. The last plague was the Slaying of the Firstborn; God went through Egypt and killed each firstborn, but passed over the houses of the Israelites leaving their children unharmed. This plague was so terrible that Pharoah relented and let the Israelites leave. Pharoah then regretted his decision and chased the Children of Israel until they were trapped at the Sea of Reeds. But God instructed Moses to stretch his staff over the Sea of Reeds and the waters parted, allowing the Children of Israel to walk through on dry land. The waters then closed, drowning Pharoah and his soldiers as they pursued the Israelites. The Torah commands an observance of seven days of Passover. Many Jews in North America and all Jews in Israel follow this injunction. Some Jews outside of Israel celebrate Passover for eight days.

  • HIAS Haggadah Supplement 2018-5778 Color
    2 INTRODUCTION Leader reads aloud: The Passover Seder plate is one of the oldest symbolic representations of the Jewish people’s historic refugee experience. From dipping green vegetables into salt water in order to recall the salty tears cried by our Israelite ancestors as they endured slavery to the hope for renewal and rebirth symbolized by the round egg, each item on the plate articulates a key component of our Israelite ancestors’ difficult journey from oppression to freedom. In the face of unprecedented efforts to limit refugees’ ability to seek safety in the United States – even as more people are displaced by violence and persecution than ever before – these powerful symbols of both the unimaginable suffering and the boundless resilience and hope of refugees feel particularly poignant. This Passover, let us consider these symbols in the context of the contemporary refugee crisis, discuss our connections to this important issue, and rise from our Seder tables committed to ensuring that refugees worldwide find a safe place to call home. SHOES ON THE DOORSTEP After the leader reads the introduction to the Haggadah supplement, either walk with your guests to the front door or have one guest rise from the table and walk to the front door. There, place a pair of shoes on the doorstep and read the words below. Leader: The heart of the Passover Seder tells the story of the Jewish people’s exodus from slavery in Egypt. During ֲא ַר ִּמי אֹ ֵבד ָא ִבי“ ,the retelling of this story, we say the words (Arami oved avi).” This phrase is sometimes translated as “My father was a wandering Aramean” and other times as “An Aramean sought to destroy my father.” Somewhere between the two translations lies the essence of the Jewish experience: a rootless people who have fled persecution time and time again.

  • A Passover Seder Is a Service Held at Home As Part of the Passover Celebration. It Is Always Observed on the First Night of Pass
    A Passover seder is a service held at home as part of the Passover celebration. It is always observed on the first night of Passover and in many homes, it is observed on the second night as well. Participants use a book called a haggadah to lead the service, which consists of storytelling, a seder meal, and concluding prayers and songs. The Passover Haggadah The word haggadah comes from a Hebrew word meaning "tale" or "parable," and it contains an outline or choreography for the seder. The word seder literally means "order" in Hebrew, and there's a very specific "order" to the seder service and meal. Steps in the Passover Seder There are many components to the Passover seder plate; karpas parsley initial success charoset fruits/nuts mortar maror Horseradish/romaine bitterness of slavery z’roa lamb shank sacrifice and offering beitzah roasted egg offering to temple Below is a brief description of each of the 15 parts of the Passover seder. These steps are observed to the letter in some homes, while other homes may choose to observe only some of them and focus instead on the Passover seder meal. Many families will observe these steps according to their family's tradition. Kadesh (Sanctification): The seder meal begins with kiddush and the first of four cups of wine that will be enjoyed during the seder. Each participant's cup is filled with wine or grape juice, and the blessing is recited aloud, Blessed are You, L-rd, our G-d, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
