“With ‘The Tomb of the Broken Amulet,’ I wanted to put a classical mummy story in a #Passover setting,” said Shorr, who enjoys blending #Jewish elements with popular #folklore. “The story isn’t just a fun genre mash-up. It’s about a post-#Oct7 family contending with loss, finding courage and learning that like the Passover #seder, our stories don’t truly end until we’ve found what’s missing.”

Last night for the first time in many years I went to someone else's #Passover #Seder (necessitated by staying behind when my wife and son went to visit Daughter # 2).
I was extremely anxious about talk at the Seder potentially degenerating into Zionist propaganda about #Gaza, but fortunately my fears were unfounded. In fact, one of the hosts argued that given what #Israel is doing, we should skip reciting "Pour Out Thy Wrath".

Passover Seder, 1949, by Moshe Castel (1909-1991), oil on canvas, 25 × 36 in. (63.5 × 91.5 cm.), photo: Christie’s New York, 20 Apr 2006. #arthistory #passover #seder

From the lot essay: “Painted in 1949, Passover Seder describes a subject close to Castel's heart throughout his career, traditional Jewish life and customs.” More in ALT.

Excerpt from the lot essay: “In Passover Seder the family is seated around the holiday table, under the Sabbath lamp dressed in traditional oriental clothing. The Temple is depicted in the background, and a bird relating to the Jewish belief of the Schina hovers above them. The Passover blessing Ha'Lachma Ania, is written in stylized Hebrew calligraphy on the left. The painting relates to ancient manuscripts, as the figures are painted on an isolated, manuscript-like area, in the centre of the canvas.”

Hebrew by Inbal

Tonight is ליל הסדר — Seder night.

A night of story, memory, freedom.

This video is from my last Seder in Israel — a table full of love, tradition, and meaning. I hold it close.

This year, I’m not at a public Seder. I’m sitting with memory. With family in my heart.

If you’re doing the same — I see you.

You don’t need a crowd to feel the magic. Just a heart open to the story.

May tonight bring freedom, peace, connection, and hope.

And may we remember the 59 hostages still in Gaza. May they come home soon.

חג פסח שמח 💙

נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

"#Passover is a #Jewish #holiday steeped in tradition, but is set apart from other religious events in that the occasion and its observance is largely about #food. This is a holiday with pretty strict dietary guidelines, as well as classic #Seder preparation traditions, and for that reason, planning and #cooking for the holiday takes on a higher level of focus and preparation.

Home #chefs may start shopping, cooking, and planning their #menu weeks in advance—and the same can be said for celebrity chefs who happen to be Jewish.

But with so much #culinary traditions intertwined in this holiday's observance, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that many chefs have a specific family dish that has remained a star of the Seder for generations."

From Kabbalah Experience:
When seen through a spiritual lens, the Seder provides you an opportunity to experience a process of personal liberation from whatever holds you back, from whatever of your past keeps you captive.

That is what we are attempting through this Haggadah: to pass over, pass through, innovate and move beyond. By transforming the meaning of these time-honored rituals, this experience becomes a vehicle for you to transform your life.

How do we do it: We shift attention from literal story to metaphor, from an ancient past others experienced to your present experience, and from external reality to the subtle workings of inner life.

Pass Over to Freedom A Spiritual Journey Dr David Sanders Kabbalah for a Change Illustration of a bird flying away from a golden cage. For 3,000 years Jews have kept a tradition alive in the spring commemorating the freeing of slaves from Egyptian bondage. It is called the Passover Seder. The order of the Seder is found in a Haggadah—the Passover Seder book. A story is told, songs are sung and special foods are eaten. The Seder, though, can be so much more... No prior experience with Egypt is required, though if you have seen the pyramids in person you may know that they were, like your personal path to freedom, not built in one day.

SAYDER: Reclaiming Our Seder Tables as Sacred Spaces Four New Questions Seder stressed at this time of political and personal polarization? SAYDER, created by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie with Lab/Shul and in partnership with Reboot, helps us to reclaim our Passover Seder tables as sacred spaces for safely sharing stories, songs and questions, honoring all voices, starting to heal tensions and traumas and invoking visions for repair. Structured around a new version of the four questions, SAYDER preserves the drama of storytelling, the art of retrospection, the depth of conversation and the courage of optimism found in the traditional Seder but simplifies the event and enhances its relevance to our modern lifestyle. These FOUR NEW QUESTIONS can be integrated into your Haggadah – or replace it – to better address this complex time, hear our truths, handle differences, and raise our cups to healing, hope and peace – together.

This recipe substitutes potato starch and egg whites for the traditional wheat flour to keep within the Passover kosher rules. They give the cake a light texture, with the wonderfully fresh syrup keeping it moist and giving a unique flavor. You can use almond flour for a gluten-free cake, which can be served all year around.

Jewish Dems Passover Seder Companion Download This Passover is different from all other Passovers because this president is different from all other presidents, which is why we urge you to add a fifth question to your Seder: "What actions will you take to defend democracy, justice, freedom, and our safety in the United States, Israel, and worldwide?" Illustration of a seder plate with Jewish Democratic Council of America Organizational Values written in the center, surrounded by six items: Freedom & Democracy Dignity, Equity, and Equality Pursuit of Justice Welcoming the Stranger Peoplehood & Community Repair the World The story of Passover serves as a reminder to speak out against tyranny and to act in solidarity with the oppressed. Liberation can only come after resistance and the pursuit of freedom. On this Passover, we call on you to join JDCA in defending our democracy and freedoms and standing up against any form of oppression, be it religious, racial, economic, or political. We, too, were strangers in a foreign land. The need for empathy and collective action is stronger today than ever before.

נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 :thisisfine: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"As we learned more about #Christian #seders, it quickly became clear that not all of the seders are alike. In this #seder tutorial, Pastor Scott Stewart of Agape Church of Little Rock, Ark., explains how to celebrate #Passover, with barely any recognition that this is a #Jewish holiday. It felt like Stewart was even telling #Jews the proper way to lead a Passover seder.

However, other Christian seders focus on exploring the Jewish roots of #Christianity. For example, in this recording, Pastor Tom Holladay of Saddleback #Church teaches his congregants about how #Jesus, who was a #Jew, and his followers would have celebrated Passover in their time."

Excellent article on #DaraHorn's new children's #book and more!

"When are #children ready to encounter a #Jewish #history of persecution and slaughter?

One answer is provided during the seder itself, which often ends with the traditional song “Chad Gadya,” or one little goat in #Aramaic. It’s a “cumulative” song about a baby goat that is eaten by a cat, who’s killed by a dog, who’s beaten with a stick, culminating with the Angel of Death being slain by God. One interpretation is that the goat represents the Jewish people, and the climax of the song signals the redemption of the #Jews. It’s a dark theme smuggled into an upbeat, if macabre, children’s song.

Making light of the #seder’s darker themes is a #Passover tradition all its own, and Horn is on board with it.

“By the time children are old enough to appreciate [the darkness], they own the #story. They’re characters in the story, and they know that about themselves and that this is a story about us,” said Horn."
