Passover
Haggadah
‫הגדה של פסח‬
With complete English translation
and transliteration
Our grandfather, Aharon Rosen, was an expert Hebrew teacher for new immigrants.
He knew, having been an immigrant himself, that the best way to learn a new
language and culture was to be brought into it with warmth and outstretched arms,
as well as an appreciation of one’s original culture and language. He understood
the challenge of learning a new language and he built a unique system that
helped thousands of people learn Hebrew.
Today, here at eTeacher, we follow his principles of learning by welcoming our
hundreds of thousands of students worldwide into Hebrew language and culture with
warmth and a friendly face. We appreciate the amount of effort and commitment
it takes to learn a new language and we use our very best resources in order to
make that dream of learning a new language come true for our students.
This festival of freedom, Passover, also known as “zman cheruteinu” - the season
of our freedom, involves the greatest retelling of our nation’s story - the Exodus
from Egypt. It is a time that families come together to discuss the notion of
freedom, what it involves and how we bring freedom to others who may not yet
enjoy it. Part of enjoying freedom is knowing that we can speak freely; that we
are not bound by the darkness of misunderstanding or the oppression that our
busy lives can bring; that we can embrace light and opportunity. This Passover,
we have created a Haggadah for you and your family to use, to help you better
understand the holiday’s customs and to help you in your study of the Hebrew
language by providing full translation and transliteration of the Hebrew text in
your native language.
In Exodus 6:6, God says, “I will redeem you with an outstretched arm - ‫ְּת י‬
ִ ‫וְגַָאל‬
‫”א ְתכֶם ִּבזְרֹו ַע נְטּויָה‬.
ֶ Here at eTeacher, we welcome you with open arms and wish
you and your family a happy and joyous festival season.

The Order of the Seder
Our Passover meal is called a seder, which means “order” in Hebrew,
because we go through 14 specific steps as we retell the story of our
ancestors’ liberation from slavery.
Some people like to begin their seder by reciting or singing the
names of the 14 steps - this will help you keep track of how far away
the main course is!

God rested from work and ceased creating.

Handwashing
Water is refreshing, cleansing, and clear, so it’s easy to understand why
so many cultures and religions use water for symbolic purification. We
will wash our hands twice during our seder: now, with no blessing, to get
us ready for the rituals to come; and then again later, we’ll wash with a
blessing, preparing us for the meal, which Judaism thinks of as a ritual
in itself. (The Jewish obsession with food is older than you thought!)
To wash your hands, you don’t need soap, but you do need a cup to
pour water over your hands. Pour water on each of your hands three
times, alternating between your hands. If the people around your table
don’t want to get up to walk all the way over to the sink, you could pass
a pitcher and a bowl around so everyone can wash at their seats… just
be careful not to spill!
Too often during our daily lives we don’t stop and take the moment
to prepare for whatever it is we’re about to do. Here is our chance.

Karpas ‫ַּכ ְר ַּפס‬
Dipping a green vegetable in salt water
Passover, like many of our holidays, combines the celebration of an
event from our Jewish memory with recognition of the cycles of nature.
As we remember our ancestors’ liberation, we also recognize the stirrings
of spring and rebirth happening in the world around us. The symbols on
our table bring together elements of both kinds of celebration.
We now take a vegetable, representing our joy at the dawning of spring
after our long, cold winter. Most families use a green vegetable such as
parsley or celery, but some families from Eastern Europe have a tradition
of using a boiled potato since greens were hard to come by at Passover
time. Whatever symbol of spring and sustenance we’re using, we now
dip it into salt water, a symbol of the tears our ancestors shed as slaves.
Before we eat it, we recite a short blessing:
:‫ ּבֹו ֵר א ְּפ ִרי ָה ֲא ָד ָמה‬,‫ֹלהינּו ֶמלְֶך ָהעֹולָם‬
ֵ ‫ ֱא‬,ָ‫ַאּת ה יְי‬

Yachatz ‫ַח ץ‬
ַ‫י‬
Breaking the middle matzah
There are three pieces of matzah stacked on the table. We now break
the middle matzah into two pieces. The host should wrap up the larger of
the pieces and, at some point between now and the end of dinner, hide
it. This piece is called the afikomen, literally “dessert” in Greek. After
dinner, the guests will have to hunt for the afikomen in order to wrap up
the meal… and win a prize!
We eat matzah in memory of the quick flight of our ancestors from
captivity. As slaves, they faced many false starts before finally being let
go. So when the word of their freedom came, they took whatever dough
they had and ran with it before it had the chance to rise, leaving it looking
something like what we call matzah.
Uncover and hold up the three pieces of matzah and say:

This is the bread of affliction, which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Let
all who are hungry come and eat. Let all who are in need, come and share the
Pesach meal. This year, we are here. Next year, in the land of Israel. This year, we
are slaves. Next year, we will be free.
Written in Aramaic, this statement begins the narration of the Seder
by inviting the hungry to our table. Aramaic, Jewish legend has it, is
the one language which the angels do not understand. Why then is Ha
Lachma spoken in Aramaic?
To teach us that where there is hunger, no one should rely upon
the angels, no one should pray to the heavens for help. We know
the language of the poor, for we were poor in the land of Egypt. We
know that we are called to feed the poor and to call them to join our
celebration of freedom.

Magid ‫ַמ ּגִיד‬
Telling the story of Passover
Pour the second glass of wine for everyone
The Haggadah doesn’t tell the story of Passover in a linear fashion.
It jumps from place to place, including stories of our sages, songs of
praise, questions for discussion, as well as an abridged recitation of the
story of the Exodus itself. We get an impressionistic collection of songs,
images, and stories of both the Exodus and from Passover celebrations
through the centuries. Some believe that minimizing the role of Moses
keeps us focused on the miracles God performed for us. Others insist
that this woven collection of retellings reminds us of the role that every
member of the community has in bringing about positive change.
} The Four Questions }
Ma Nishtana ׁ‫ּתנָה‬
ַ ‫ִּׁש‬
ְ ‫ַמה ּנ‬
The formal telling of the story of Passover is framed as a discussion with
lots of questions and answers. The tradition that the youngest person asks
the questions reflects the centrality of involving everyone in the seder.
The rabbis who created the set format for the seder gave us the Four
Questions to help break the ice in case no one had their own questions.
Asking questions is a core tradition in Jewish life. If everyone at your seder
is around the same age, perhaps the person with the least seder experience
can ask them - or everyone can sing them all together.

We were once slaves. Now we are free.
We were slaves to Pharaoh, and God took us of there with a strong
hand and outstretched arm. Had God not brought our ancestors out of
captivity, then even today we and our children and our grandchildren
would still be slaves. Even if we were all wise, knowledgeable scholars and
Torah experts, we would still be obligated to tell the story of the Exodus.

The Wicked One asks: "What does this ritual mean to you?" (Exodus 12:26)
By using the expression "to you" he excludes himself from his people and denies
God. Shake his arrogance and say to him: "It is because of what the Lord did for
me when I came out of Egypt..." (Exodus 13:8) "For me" and not for him -- for
had he been in Egypt, he would not have been freed.

As for the One Who Does Not Know How To Ask , you should open the
discussion for him, as it is written: "And you shall explain to your child on that day,
'It is because of what God did for me when I came out of Egypt." (Exodus 13:8).
Do you see yourself in any of these children?
At times we all approach different situations like each of these children.
How do we relate to each of them?
Our story starts in ancient times with Abraham, the first person to believe
in one God. The idea of one God, invisible and all-powerful, inspired him
to leave his family and begin a new people in Canaan, the land that would
one day bear his grandson Jacob’s adopted name, Israel.
God had made a promise to Abraham that his family would become
a great nation, but this promise came with a frightening vision of the
troubles along the way: “Your descendants will dwell for a time in a land
that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and afflicted for four
hundred years; however, I will punish the nation that enslaved them,
and afterwards they shall leave with great wealth.”

Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, journeyed with his family to the
land of Egypt. Why did Jacob journey to Egypt? Because Joseph, his son
by his beloved Rachel, had become prime minister to Pharaoh, king of
Egypt. When a famine broke out in Canaan, Joseph asked his father and
all his family to join him there. Then Joseph granted his father and his
brothers land, as Pharaoh commanded. And Israel dwelt in the land of
Goshen; and they were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.
The years passed and Joseph died, as did all of his his brothers, and
all that generation. A new Pharaoh rose over Egypt, who knew nothing
of Joseph. Pharaoh and his advisers grew alarmed by this great nation
growing within their borders, so they enslaved the people of Israel. They
were forced to perform hard labor and act as servants. Pharoah feared that
even as slaves, the Israelites might grow strong and rebel. So he decreed
that Israelite baby boys should be drowned, to prevent the Israelites from
overthrowing those who had enslaved them.
One couple, Amram and Yocheved, refused to kill their newborn son.
Instead, they hid him in their hut for three months. When his cries became
too loud Yocheved placed him in a basket on the river. Their daughter
Miriam watched to ensure the child had a safe passage.
Pharaoh's daughter came to bathe in the river and she discovered the
basket. She felt pity for the helpless child and decided to keep him as
her own. She named him Moshe (Moses), which means "drawn from the
water." Bravely, Miriam asked the princess if she needed a nurse to help
her with the baby. The princess said yes, and so it happened that Yocheved
was able to care for her own son and teach him about his heritage.

Moses could have lived at Pharaoh's palace forever, but he could not ignore
the suffering of his people. Once when he saw an Egyptian beating an Israelite
slave, he could not control his anger, and he killed the Egyptian. Knowing
his life would be in danger once the news of this deed spread, Moses fled
to the land of Midian, where he became a shepherd.
One day, while tending sheep on Mount Horeb, Moses saw a bush that
seemed to be on fire, but was not burning up. From the bush, he heard
God's voice calling him. God said, "I am the God of your ancestors. I have
seen the suffering of the Israelites and have heard their cries. I am ready
to take them out of Egypt and bring them to a new land, a land flowing
with milk and honey."
God told Moses to return to Egypt to bring the message of freedom to
the Israelites and to warn Pharaoh that God would bring plagues upon
the Egyptians if he did not let the slaves go free. Moses was such a
humble man that he could not imagine being God's messenger. “I will
be with you,” God promised Moses. With this assurance and challenge,
Moses set out for Egypt.
When Moses asked Pharaoh to free the Israelites, he refused. It was only
then that God brought ten plagues on the Egyptians. Each one frightened
Pharaoh, and each time he promised to free the slaves. But when each
plague ended, Pharaoh did not keep his word. It was only after the last
plague, the death of the firstborn of the Egyptians, that Pharaoh agreed
to let the Israelites go. And so it was that God brought us forth out of
Egypt, with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.

Ben Zoma explained it by quoting: "In order that you may remember the day you
left Egypt all the days of your life." The Torah adds the world “all” to the phrase the
days of your life to indicate that the nights are meant as well. The sages declare that
"the days of your life" means the present world and “all” includes the messianic era.

The Passover Symbols
Rabbi Gamliel, the head of the Sanhedrin (rabbinical court) near of the
end of the Second Temple Period (first century CE), said one must discuss
the three symbols of Passover as part of the Seder:
Pesach ‫ֶּפ ַס ח‬
(Point to the Shankbone) When the great Temple of Jerusalem was
still in existence, our ancestors ate a special sacrificial offering called
the Pesach. The word "Pesach" means to "pass over." The offering was
eaten as a symbol that God passed over the houses of the Israelites, as
the Torah teaches, "You shall say: This is the Pesach offering we offer
to God, because God passed over the houses of the Israelites when he
destroyed the Egyptians, but our homes God saved." (Exodus 12:27)
Matz ah ‫ַמ ָצ ה‬
(Point to the matzah) Why do we eat matzah? To remember that
even before our ancestor's dough had time to rise, God was revealed
to them and saved them. As the Torah teaches: And they baked the
dough which they had brought from Egypt into matzah; it did not
rise since they hurried out of Egypt, and they could not delay, nor
had they prepared other provisions for themselves." (Exodus 12:39)

Maror ‫ָמ ר ֹור‬
(Point to the Maror) Why do we eat bitter foods? To remember
that the Egyptians, "embittered the lives of our ancestors with hard
labor in mortar and brick, and in every manner of drudgery in the
field and worked them ruthlessly in all their labor." (Exodus 1:14)

Therefore we are obligated to thank, sing the Hallel, praise, glorify, exalt, honor,
bless, elevate and raise our voices for joy to the holy one, Who performed all
these miracles for our ancestors and therefore for us! God brought us from human
servitude to freedom, from sorrow to joy, for a time of mourning to a festive
day, from deep darkness to great light and from slavery to redemption! In God’s
presence we renew our singing as in ancient days: Hallel-lu-yah, sing Hallel to God.

Praise the Eternal! Praise, you servants of God, praise the name of the Eternal.
Blessed be the name of God, from this time forth and forever. From the rising of
the sun to its setting, God’s name is to be praised. High above all nations is God;
above the heavens is God’s glory. Who is like our God, who though enthroned on
high, looks down upon heaven and earth? God raises the poor man out of the dust
and lifts the needy one out of the trash heap, to seat them with nobles, with the
nobles amongst God’s people. God turns the barren wife into a happy mother of
children. Halleluyah!

When Israel went out of Egypt, When the household of Jacob left a people with
a strange tongue, Judah became the place from which God’s holiness went forth,
Israel became the seat from which the world would know of Gods rule. The sea
looked and fled, The Jordan reversed its curse. Mountains skipped like rams and
the hills jumped about like young lambs. What is happening that you turn back,
O sea, Jordan, why do you reverse your course? Mountains, why do you skip like
rams And hills why do you jump like lambs? You are beholding the face of your
Creator, Before God, before the God of Jacob, turning rocks into swirling waters
and stone into a flowing spring.

Rachtza ‫ָר ְח ָצ ה‬
Ritual hand-washing in preparation for the meal
As we now transition from the formal telling of the Passover story
to the celebratory meal, we once again wash our hands to prepare
ourselves. In Judaism, a good meal together with friends and family
is itself a sacred act, so we prepare for it just as we prepared for
our holiday ritual, recalling the way ancient priests once prepared for
service in the Temple.
After you have poured the water over your hands,
recite the following blessing:

Korech ‫ּכֹו ֵרך‬
The bitter and the sweet
To the sage Hillel, eating matzah and maror together was no trivial
matter. As far as Hillel was concerned, slavery and freedom were
merged into one historical event. The bread of poverty became the
bread of freedom and should be tasted together with the bitter maror,
so that one should know both the bitterness of slavery and the joy of
freedom. In our time of freedom, we must not forget the bitterness of
slavery; in times of oppression, we must sustain the hope of freedom.
Pieces of the bottom matzah are distributed to everyone at the
table. Sandwich some maror between two pieces of matzah, recite
the blessing below, then eat!

Eating matzah, maror and haroset this way reminds us of how, in the days of the
Temple, Hillel would do so, making a sandwich of the Pascal lamb, matzah and maror, in
order to observe the law “You shall eat it (the Pesach sacrifice) on matzah and maror.”

Finding and eating the Afikomen
The younger participants of the seder will now be encouraged to go
on a hunt for the Afikomen, the middle piece of matzah that was hidden
earlier (refer back to “yachatz”).
When they find it, the seder leader will reward them with a small gift
(for example, toys or sweets.)
The playfulness of finding the afikomen reminds us that we balance
our solemn memories of slavery with a joyous celebration of freedom.
As we eat the afikomen, our last taste of matzah for the evening, we are
grateful for moments of silliness and happiness in our lives.

When God returns us from exile back to Zion, it will be as though in a dream. We

our fortunes. We shall be like streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears shall
reap in joy. Though the farmer bears the measure of seed to the field in sadness,
he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

God is our tower of salvation, showing kindness to the anointed one, to David
and his descendants forever. May God who creates peace in the heavenly heights,
may God grant peace for us, all Israel; and all humanity, and we say, Amen.
Revere God, you are holy, for those who revere God suffer no want. Lions may
be famishing and starving, but those who seek God shall not lack any good thing.
Give thanks to God, for God is good; God’s kindness endures forever. You open
your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Blessed is the person who
trusts in the Eternal, and whose trust is in God. I have been young and now I am
old, but never have I seen a righteous person forsaken, nor their children wanting
bread. God will grant strength to the people; God will bless the people with peace.
The Blessing after the Meal concludes by drinking the Third Cup
of wine, while reclining to the left:

As we come to the end of the seder, we drink one more glass of wine.
With this final cup, we give thanks for the experience of celebrating
Passover together, for the traditions that help inform our daily lives and
guide our actions and aspirations.

Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of the Universe, who creates the
fruit of the vine.
Drink the fourth and final glass of wine!

Ending the seder and thinking about the future
Our seder is over, according to Jewish tradition and law. As we had the
pleasure to gather for a seder this year, we hope to once again have
the opportunity in the years to come. We pray that God brings health
and healing to Israel and all the people of the world, especially those
impacted by natural tragedy and war. As we say...
