Passover 2012 / ‫פסח תשע"ב‬
The Passover Seder is the oldest surviving ritual in the Western world dating back some 3,300 years
to the last night the Jewish people were in Egypt before embarking towards the Land of Israel, Eretz
Yisrael. Since that time, Jewish families have gathered together to tell the miraculous story each Passover. There is nothing else quite like the Seder. On Seder night, every parent is a teacher. Grandparents
sit next to their grandchildren in order to pass down the traditions "from generation to generation."
Online from home!
It is therefore a special privilege for eTeacher to be able to present you this unique Haggadah to
make your Passover Seder even more meaningful. eTeacher is the premier online Hebrew language
academy and we have tried to create a Haggadah that shares the wisdom of the Hebrew language in
order to enrich your experience and make your Seder even more special. This Haggadah is of course
in Hebrew, but also contains a modern English translation along with a transliteration of key passages
to allow even those who don’t read Hebrew to follow along and pronounce the words properly in
order to read the Haggadah in its original language.
With Israel's best teachers!
We hope that you enjoy this Haggadah and on behalf of the eTeacher family, let me wish you and your
family a Chag Sameach,
Learn Hebrew from the convenience of your
own home. Enjoy all the benefits that remote
learning provides.
Israel's best teachers are waiting for you. Israel
is the home of the Hebrew language, and the
world's best Hebrew teachers.

There is an important principle in the Torah that what happened to our ancestors has direct bearing
on us as well. Therefore, Passover not only celebrates the historical Exodus of the Jewish people from
Egypt, it is the night of redemption for all of Jewish history, past, present and future. The Exodus
from Egypt set the stage for all future redemptions, and so Passover has a particular relevance and
inspirational meaning in our own generation – perhaps more so than ever before.
Throughout our history, Jews have conducted Passover Seders under the threat of blood libels
and pogroms; in ghettos, prisons and even concentration camps, always praying for "Next Year in
Jerusalem." The Haggadah tells us, "in every generation, our enemies stand up against us" and ours
is no different. Israel faces an existential threat from an Iranian dictator who arrogantly denies the last
genocide of our people while threatening a new one. Our generation, however, is blessed to be able
to celebrate this Passover in the united city of Jerusalem, the undivided capital of the State of Israel.
Thank God, we are stronger than we have ever been with countless friends and supporters all over
the world.
United with Israel stands at the forefront exposing the lies of our enemies, while transmitting the
truth about Israel. It is therefore my pleasure to present this Haggadah in time for Passover to the
more than one million who stand United with Israel. We stand together and express our faith in God
that just as He delivered us from Pharoah 3,300 years ago, so too will He protect Israel today and
deliver us on the wings of eagles during this Festival of Freedom.
Best wishes for a happy and meaningful holiday – Chag Kasher V’Sameach,

Introduction
features a stunning photograph
along with an inspirational
Biblical passage each day.
Shalom,
Israel365 keeps me connected to the Land of
Israel and its people which I love with all my
heart. - N. Perla, Honduras
What a blessing to start the day with an awesome
scene from Israel, reminding me to "Pray for the
Peace of Jerusalem."
- Marydee M., New Mexico, USA
Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of sitting around my grandfather’s Seder Table with
aunts, uncles and cousins whom we only got to see on special occasions such as this. I can still smell
my grandmother’s brisket and Matzah ball soup more than twenty years later. Each year, my grandparents who survived the Holocaust, would regale us with happy stories from their home in pre-war
Europe along with frightening tales of their time during the war. This Passover is going to be bittersweet for my family. For the first time in my life, I won’t be with my parents, siblings or cousins which
will obviously be strange and sad. However, this Passover marks a special milestone for our family: it
is our first Seder living in the Land of Israel!
Thank you for this truly delightful page which I
view first thing with my cup of coffee.
- Jane F., New Zealand
For centuries, my ancestors have read the Haggadah’s powerful words, "this year we are here; next
year in Jerusalem!" Now that we have recently fulfilled our life long dream of making "aliyah" and
moving to Israel, what a thrill it will be to say along with my wife and children, "This year in Jerusalem!"
Connect with Israel each day!
Preparing this Haggadah has been a labor of love as I recall so many great stories, and Torah commentaries from my years spent around my grandfather’s Seder Table. Unfortunately, we couldn’t fit them
all in, but I am proud of "This Year in Jerusalem" and hope that it adds meaning to your own Seders.

The Order of the Seder
The Seder
The Hebrew word Seder means
‘order’ because the night consists of fifteen
orderly steps that each Seder follows. Why
can’t each person simply celebrate our
night of liberation as he or she sees fit? To
demonstrate the important lesson that
true freedom is not achieved by everyone
doing whatever he wants, but following the
word of God. Despite the seemingly rigid
parameters, go visit any two Jewish homes
and you will not find two identical Seders.
Each family adds their own customs and
personality so that, in the end, the Seder
is a charming balance between structure
and spontaneity. This is the secret recipe for
how an ancient story never gets old!

The sixth day. And the heavens and the earth
and all their hosts were completed. And on the
seventh day God finished His work which He had
made, and He rested on the seventh day from all
His work which He had made. And God blessed
the seventh day and made it holy, for on it He rested from all His work which God created to make.

Magid - ‫מגיד‬
Uncover the Matzah and say:
Magid
The central focus of the Seder is
the section of Magid. Magid (‫ )מגיד‬means
‘to tell’ and shares the same root as in
Haggadah (‫ )הגדה‬based on Exodus (13:8):
‫ והגדת לבנך‬- vehigad'ta l'bincha: "And you
shall tell your children, on that day, saying:
that on account of this the Lord took me
out of Egypt." However, the same Hebrew
root ‫ד‬-‫ג‬-‫ נ‬has another meaning as well and
that is to bind, join and connect. What is
the connection between telling a story and
joining together? By recounting the story
of the Exodus, we are doing more than
recalling events that occurred long ago.
Telling our story connects one generation
to the next, joining us to our grandparents
and our grandchildren.
We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the
Lord, our God, took us out from there with a
strong hand and with an outstretched arm. If
the Holy One, blessed be He, had not taken our
fathers out of Egypt, then we, our children and
our children's children would have remained enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt. Even if all of us were
wise, all of us understanding, all of us knowing
the Torah, we would still be obligated to discuss
the exodus from Egypt. Everyone who discusses
the exodus from Egypt at length is praiseworthy.

It happened that Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua,
Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah, Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi
Tarphon were reclining at a Seder in B'nei Berak.
They were discussing the exodus from Egypt all
that night, until their students came and told
them: "Our Masters, the time has come for reciting the morning Shema."

Rabbi Eleazar ben Azaryah said: "I am like a
man of seventy years old, yet I did not succeed
in proving that the exodus from Egypt must be
mentioned at night-until Ben Zoma explained
it: "It says (Deut. 16:3), 'That you may remember the
day you left Egypt all the days of your life;' now
'the days of your life' refers to the days, and the
additional word ‘all' indicates the inclusion of
the nights." The sages, however, said: "'The days
of your life' refers to the this world; and 'all' indicates the inclusion of the days of Messiah."

One may think that the discussion of the exodus

therefore says, 'On that day.' (Ex. 13:8) 'On that day,'
however, could mean while it is yet daytime; the
Torah therefore says, 'It is because of this.' (Ex. 13:8)
The expression 'because of this' can only be said
when Matzah and Maror are placed before you.

- Terach, the father of Abraham and the father of
Nachor, and they served other gods. "And I took
your father Abraham from beyond the river, and
I led him throughout the whole land of Canaan.
I increased his seed and gave him Isaac, and to
Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave Mount
Seir to possess it, and Jacob and his sons went
down to Egypt." (Joshua 24:2-4)

Egypt and sojourned there, few in number; and he
became there a nation - great and mighty and numerous." (Deut. 26:5)

Distinctive - Metzuyanim
The Hebrew word for distinctive,
metsuyan (‫ )מצוין‬might sound familiar. It is
derived from the same word as Zion (‫)ציון‬,
teaching us that God’s holy city is not just
a location, it is a way of life. God created a
special place on earth which would be the
ideal incubator for spiritual growth. The
word Zion therefore describes not only
where we live but how we must live.

father Jacob did not go down to Egypt to settle,
but only to live there temporarily. Thus it is said,
"They said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn
in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks because the hunger is severe in the
land of Canaan; and now, please, let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen." (Gen. 47:4)

Egyptians treated us badly
The Hebrew word for bad here
also contains the exact opposite meaning,
‘friendship.’ The Haggadah is making a
subtle observation and describing the
origins of Hebrew slavery. At first the
Egyptians befriended the Jews and only
gradually did they begin to institute
discriminatory laws, persecution and finally
slavery – but it started with friendship. This
pattern has repeated itself throughout
Jewish history where a host nation invites
Jews in and offers protection, but as the
generations go on, the hospitality runs
out and anti-Semitism begins to appear.
The pattern always follows Genesis (12:3)
"Those who bless you will be blessed and
those who curse you will be cursed." As soon
as the host country begins to curse the Jews
through discrimination and persecution, its
days are numbered and it soon follows the
trajectory established first by the Egyptians:
from a major world empire to a historical
footnote.
"The Egyptians treated us badly and they
made us suffer, and they put hard work upon
us." (Deut. 26:6)

Names of God
There are many mystical names
of God which have different nuances and
associations. We often refer to His Presence
as the ‫ שכינה‬- she-khee-NA which comes
from the word ‫ שכן‬- sha-KHEN, meaning
a close neighbor, alluding to our close,
personal relationship with the Almighty.

We spill a drop of wine to
symbolically empty our cup and even
shed a tear for the suffering experienced
by the Egyptians. We are taught not to
rejoice at the downfall of our enemy, but
to emphasize with universal feelings of
sympathy and compassion. Our national
experience of slavery taught us to love and
care for all of God’s children. The Torah puts
it all into perspective for us, "You shall not
abhor an Egyptian, for you were strangers
in their land." (Deut. 23:8)

In Egypt it says of them, "The magicians said to
Pharaoh 'This is the finger of God.' (Ex. 8:15) At the
sea it says, "Israel saw the great hand that the
Lord laid against Egypt; and the people feared
the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in
His servant Moses." (Ex. 14:31) Now, how often were
they smitten by 'the finger'? Ten plagues. Thus
you must conclude that in Egypt they were smitten by ten plagues, and at the sea they were
smitten by fifty plagues.

Rabbi Eliezer said: How do we know that each
individual plague which the Holy One, blessed

consisted of four plagues? For it is said: "He
sent against them His fierce anger, fury, and
indignation, and trouble, a discharge of messengers of evil" (Psalms 78:49): 'Fury,' is one; 'Indignation,' makes two; 'Trouble,' makes three; 'Discharge of messengers of evil,' makes four. Thus
you must now say that in Egypt they were struck
by forty plagues, and at the sea they were stricken by two hundred plagues.

Dayenu!
The Hebrew word ‘Dayenu’ loosely
means ‘It would have been enough for us to say
thanks.' Here is a modern twist on an ancient
song (feel free to add your own verses):
If we had returned to Israel after
two thousand years and had not
established the State of Israel – Dayenu!
If we had established the State of Israel and
had not made the desert bloom – Dayenu!
If we had made the desert bloom and had not absorbed millions of Jewish immigrants – Dayenu!
If we had absorbed millions of Jewish
immigrants
and
had
not
revived
the Hebrew language
– Dayenu!
Rabbi Akiva said: How do we know that each
individual plague which the Holy One, blessed
be He, brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt
consisted of five plagues? For it is said: "He
sent against them his fierce anger, fury, and
indignation, and trouble, a discharge of messengers of evil": "His fierce anger," is one; "fury,"
makes two; "indignation," makes three; "trouble," makes four; "discharge of messengers of
evil," makes five. Thus you must now say that in
Egypt they were struck by fifty plagues, and at
the sea they were stricken by two hundred and
fifty plagues.
If we had revived the Hebrew language and
had not developed innovative technologies
which benefit the entire world – Dayenu!
How many levels of favors has
the Omnipresent One bestowed
upon us!
Ilu hotzianu mimitzrayim, v'lo asah vahem sh'fatim,
DAYENU!
If He had brought us out from Egypt, and had not
carried out judgments against them. Dayenu!
Ilu vahem sh'fatim, v'lo asah veloheihem,
DAYENU!
If He had carried out judgments against
them, and not against their idols. Dayenu!
Ilu asah veloheihem, v'lo harag et bechoreihem,
DAYENU!
If He had destroyed their idols, and had not smitten their firstborn sons. Dayenu!
Ilu harag et bechoreihem, v'lo natan lanu et
mamonam, DAYENU!
If He had smitten their firstborn sons, and had
not given us their wealth. Dayenu!

Pass-Over
We don’t automatically recognize
the two words in "Passover" but the holiday
name is really a combination referring to
when God "passed over" the Jewish homes
before the Exodus from Egypt. The Hebrew
word is Pesach and is used not only in
Exodus (12:23) when God "passed over",
but in Isaiah (31:5) where God promises
to guard Jerusalem from all harm, "Like
flying birds, so will God protect Jerusalem,
protecting and rescuing, passing over
(pasoakh) and delivering."

through it on dry land, and drowned our oppressors in it, and supplied our needs in the desert for
forty years, and fed us the manna, and gave us
the Shabbat, and brought us before Mount Sinai,
and gave us the Torah, and brought us into the
land of Israel and built for us the Chosen House
to atone for all our sins.

The Passover Lamb that our fathers ate during
the time of the Temple - for what reason did they
do so? Because the Omnipresent passed over
our fathers' houses in Egypt, as it says, "You shall
say, It is a Passover-offering to the Lord, because
He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians with
a plague, and He saved our houses. And the people bowed and prostrated themselves." (Ex. 12:27)
Raise the Matzah and say:

of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, revealed
Himself to them and redeemed them. Thus it is
said: "They baked Matzah-cakes from the dough
that they had brought out of Egypt, because it
was not leavened; for they had been driven out
of Egypt and could not delay, and they had also
not prepared any other provisions." (Ex. 12:39)
Raise the Bitter Herbs and say:
In Every Generation
I was a slave in Egypt. I received the
Torah at Mount Sinai. Together with Joshua
and Elijah, I crossed the Jordan River. I entered
Jerusalem with David, was exiled from it with
Zedekiah, and did not forget it by the rivers of
Babylon. When the Lord returned the captives
of Zion, I dreamed among the builders of its
ramparts. I fought the Romans and was banished
from Spain. I was bound to the stake in Mainz.
I studied Torah in Yemen and lost my family in
Kishinev. I was incinerated in Treblinka, rebelled
in Warsaw, and emigrated to the Land of Israel,
the country when I had been exiled and where I
had been born, from which I come and to which
I return. I am a wandering Jew who follows in the
footsteps of his forebears, and just as I escorted
them there and then, so do my forebears
accompany me and stand here with me today.
- Israeli President Ezer Weizman’s remarks to the
German Bundestag in 1996
This Bitter Herb that we eat for what reason? Because the Egyptians embittered our fathers' lives
in Egypt, as it is said: "They made their lives bitter
with hard service, with mortar and with bricks,
and with all manner of service in the field; all
their service which they made them serve with
rigor." (Ex. 1:14)
In every generation a person is obligated to
regard himself as if he had come out of Egypt,
as it is said: "You shall tell your child on that day,
it is because of this that the Lord did for me when
I left Egypt." (Ex. 13:8) The Holy One, blessed be He,
redeemed not only our fathers from Egypt, but
He redeemed also us with them, as it is said: "It
was us that He brought out from there, so that He
might bring us to give us the land that He swore
to our ancestors." (Deut. 6:23)
Thus it is our duty to thank, to laud, to praise, to
glorify, to exalt, to adore, to bless, to elevate and
to honor the One who did all these miracles for

above all nations, His glory is over the heavens.
Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high
yet looks down so low upon heaven and earth. He
raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy
from the dunghill, to seat them with nobles, with
the nobles of His people. He restores the barren
woman to the house, into a joyful mother of children. Halleluyah - praise God. (Psalm 113)

When Israel went out of Egypt, the House of Jacob from a people of a foreign language, Judah
became His holy one, Israel His dominion. The
sea saw and fled, the Jordan turned backward.
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like

flee; Jordan, that you turn backward? Mountains,
why do you skip like rams; hills, like a pool of water, the flint-stone into a spring of water. (Psalm 114)

Blessed are You, God, our God, King of the
universe, who has redeemed us and redeemed
our fathers from Egypt, and enabled us to attain
this night to eat Matzah and Maror. So too, God,
our God and God of our fathers, enable us to
attain other holidays and festivals that will come
to us in peace with happiness in the rebuilding of
Your city, and with rejoicing in Your service. There
may we be able to eat of the offerings and the
Passover Lamb whose blood shall be sprinkled on
the wall of Your altar for acceptance; and we shall
thank You with a new song for our redemption
and for the deliverance of our souls. Blessed are
You, God, who redeemed Israel.

A Song of Ascents. When the Lord will return
the exiles of Zion, we will have been like dreamers. Then our mouth will be filled with laughter,
and our tongue with joyous song. Then will they
say among the nations, "The Lord has done great
things for these." The Lord has done great things
for us, we were joyful. Lord, return our exiles as
streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears will
reap with joyous song. He goes along weeping,
carrying the bag of seed; he will surely come back
with joyous song, carrying his sheaves. (Psalm 126)
When three or more men are present, the Grace is
preceded by the following introduction:
Leader: Gentlemen, let us say Grace.
Response: May the Name of the Lord be blessed
from now and forever.
Leader: With the permission of all present, let us
bless He of whose bounty we have eaten.
Response: Blessed be He of whose bounty we

Leader: Blessed be He of whose bounty we have
eaten.

world with grace, with kindness and with mercy.
He gives food to all flesh, for His kindness is everlasting. Through His great goodness to us continuously we do not lack food, and may we never
lack it, for the sake of His great Name. For He is a

good to all, and prepares food for all His creatures

Blessed are You Lord, who provides food for all.
We thank You, Lord, our God, for having given

spacious land; for having brought us out, Lord
our God, from the land of Egypt and redeemed
us from the house of slaves; for Your covenant
which You have sealed in our flesh; for Your Torah which You have taught us; for Your statutes
which You have made known to us; for the life,
favor and kindness which You have graciously
bestowed upon us; and for the food we eat with
which You constantly feed and sustain us every
day, at all times, and at every hour.

Jerusalem = Peace
The name Jerusalem - ‫ירושלים‬
- contains the word Shalom – ‫שלום‬, the
Hebrew word for ‘Peace.' The world’s holiest
city, Jerusalem - ‫ ירושלים‬- has the word
‫ שלום‬at its core which explains why the
Temple was constructed in a very special
manner: "hammers, chisels or any iron
instruments were not heard in the Temple
when it was being built" (I Kings 6:7). No
instruments of war or violence were not
used so that peace would be built into the
very foundation of Jerusalem’s holy Temple.
Jerusalem is meant to be the source for all
peace on earth, for when Jerusalem is at
peace, the whole world is at peace.
Our God and God of our fathers, may there
ascend, come and reach, be seen and accepted,
heard, recalled and remembered before You,
the remembrance and recollection of us, the remembrance of our fathers, the remembrance of
Messiah the son of David Your servant, the remembrance of Jerusalem Your holy city, and the
remembrance of all Your people the House of Israel, for deliverance, well-being, grace, kindness,
mercy, good life and peace, on this day of the
Festival of Matzot, on this Festival of holy convocation. Remember us on this day, Lord, our God,
for good; recollect us on this day for blessing;
help us on this day for good life. With the promise
of deliverance and compassion, spare us and be
gracious to us; have mercy upon us and deliver
us; for our eyes are directed to You, for You, God,
are a gracious and merciful King.
Rebuild Jerusalem the holy city
speedily in our days. Blessed
are You, Lord, who in His mercy
rebuilds Jerusalem. Amen.

good for us, He does good for us, and He will do
good for us; He has bestowed, He bestows, and
He will forever bestow upon us grace, kindness
and mercy, relief, salvation and success, blessing
and help, consolation, sustenance and nourishment, compassion, life, peace and all goodness;
and may He never cause us to lack any good.
May the Merciful One reign over us forever and
ever.
May the Merciful One be blessed in heaven and
on earth.
May the Merciful One be praised for all generations, and be glorified in us forever and all eternity, and honored in us forever and ever.
The Merciful One
The Hebrew word for mercy, ‫רחם‬/
ra-chem isn’t only an adjective, it’s also a
noun that means ‘womb’ ‫רחם‬/re-chem
because a mother has a natural love for her
offspring. God’s mercy towards us is like the
instinctively tender and warm love that a
mother has for her child.

May the Merciful One bless my father, my teacher, the master of this house, and my mother, my
teacher, the mistress of this house; them, their
household, their children, and all that is theirs; us,
and all that is ours. Just as He blessed our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, "in everything,"
"from everything," with "everything," so may He
bless all of us (the children of the Covenant) together with a perfect blessing, and let us say,
Amen.
From On High, may there be invoked upon him
and upon us such merit which will bring a safeguarding of peace. May we receive blessing from
the Lord and just kindness from the God of our
salvation, and may we find grace and good understanding in the eyes of God and man.
Messiah
If you rearrange the Hebrew
letters of the word for Messiah, ‫משיח‬, you
get ‫ ישמח‬/ yee-sa-makh, ‘he will rejoice.’
With the arrival of the Moshiach (Messiah),
the whole world will finally be at peace,
God will be universally recognized and true
happiness will come to the entire world.
On Shabbat add: May the Merciful One cause us to inherit that
day which will be all Shabbat and rest for life everlasting.
May the Merciful One cause us to inherit that
day which is all good, that eternal day, the day
where the righteous will sit with crowns upon
their heads basking in the splendor of God's Presence, and may our portion be amongst them.
May the Merciful One grant us the privilege of
reaching the days of the Messiah and the life of
the World to Come.

An alternative passage from a 1521 manuscript:
Pour out your love on the nations who know
You and on kingdoms who call Your name. For
the good which they do for the seed of Jacob.
And they shield Your people Israel from their
enemies. May they merit to see the good of Your
chosen and to rejoice in the joy of Your nation.
Pour out Your wrath upon the nations that do not
acknowledge You, and upon the kingdoms that do
not call upon Your Name. For they have devoured
Jacob and laid waste his habitation. (Psalms 79:6,7) Pour
out Your indignation upon them, and let the wrath
of Your anger overtake them. (Psalms 69:25) Pursue
them with anger, and destroy them from beneath
the heavens of the Lord. (Lam. 3:66)

Israel
Throughout the Bible, the Jewish
people are known by the name Yisrael.The
name ‘Israel’ / ‫ ישראל‬refers to both the
Land and the People and contains great
insights. It begins with the smallest letter
of the Hebrew alphabet - ‫ י‬- and concludes
with the largest letter - ‫ל‬. This contrast
alludes to both its humble origins as well
as its glorious destiny. Additionally, the
name ‘Israel’ / ‫ ישראל‬contains an acronym
for every one of our spiritual ancestors,
the three Patriarchs - Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, and the Four Matriarchs - Sarah,
Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah:
‫ י‬Yod = Ya’akov, Yizhak;
‫ ש‬Shin = Sarah;
‫ ר‬Resh = Rachel, Rivkah;
‫ א‬Alef = Avraham;
‫ ל‬Lamed = Leah.
This Year in Jerusalem Haggadah 2012
Hallel
‫ַהּלֵ ל‬
Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to Your Name give
glory, for the sake of Your kindness and Your truth.
Why should the nations say, "Where, now, is their
God?" Our God is in heaven, whatever He desires,
He does. Their idols are of silver and gold, the product of human hands: they have a mouth, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; they have
ears, but cannot hear; they have a nose, but cannot
smell; their hands cannot feel; their feet cannot
walk; they can make no sound with their throat. Like
them should be their makers, everyone that trusts
in them. Israel, trust in the Lord. He is their help and
their shield. House of Aaron, trust in the Lord. He is
their help and their shield. You who fear the Lord,
trust in the Lord. He is their help and their shield.

He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small with
the great. May the Lord increase blessing upon you,

unto the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. The
heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth
He gave to the children of man. The dead do not

Hallel - ‫הלל‬
I love the Lord, because He hears my voice, my
prayers. For He turned His ear to me; all my days
I will call upon Him. The pangs of death encompassed me, and the agonies of the grave came
upon me, trouble and sorrow I encounter and I
call u upon the Name of the Lord: Please, Lord,
deliver my soul. The Lord is gracious and just, our
God is compassionate. The Lord watches over
the simpletons; I was brought low and He saved
me. Return, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord
has dealt kindly with you. For You have delivered
my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my foot
from stumbling. I will walk before the Lord in the
lands of the living. I had faith even when I said,
"I am greatly afflicted;" even when I said in my
haste, "All men are deceitful."

What can I repay the Lord for all His kindness to
me? I will raise the cup of salvation and call upon
the Name of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the
Lord in the presence of all His people. Precious
in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His pious
ones. I thank you, Lord, for I am Your servant. I am
Your servant the son of Your handmaid, You have
loosened my bonds. To You I will bring an offering of thanksgiving, and I will call upon the Name
of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the Lord in the
presence of all His people, in the courtyards of
the House of the Lord, in the midst of Jerusalem.

Narrow Confines
Praise the Lord, all nations. Extol Him, all peoples. For His kindness was mighty over us, and
the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Halleluyah
Praise God. (Ps. 117)

Out of narrow confines I called to God; God
answered me with abounding relief. The Lord is
with me, I will not fear what can man do to me?
The Lord is with me, through my helpers, and I
can face my enemies. It is better to rely on the
Lord, than to trust in man. It is better to rely on
the Lord, than to trust in nobles. All nations surround me, but I cut them down in the Name of
the Lord. They surrounded me, they encompassed me, but I cut them down in the Name of
the Lord. They surrounded me like bees, yet they
are extinguished like a fire of thorns; I cut them
down in the Name of the Lord. My foes pushed
me again and again to fall, but the Lord helped
me. God is my strength and song, and this has been my salvation. The sound of joyous song and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: "The right hand of the Lord performs deeds of valor. The right
hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord performs deeds of valor." I shall not die, but I
shall live and relate the deeds of God. God has chastised me, but He did not give me over to death.
The Hebrew word for ‘confines’
‫ר‬-‫צ‬-‫ מ‬is closely related to the word for
Egypt ‫ מצרים‬- meetz-ra-YEEM. On a mystical
level, Egypt symbolizes the agonizing straits
that constrict us. Each of us occasionally
finds ourselves trapped, sometimes for
physical reasons, such as poverty or illness
and sometimes for psychological reasons,
such as depression or despair. Passover is
the festival of hope and faith, teaching us
that the Almighty saves us from the narrow
confines.

Halleluyah. Praise the name of the Lord; give praise, you servants of the Lord,
You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His own treasure.
For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Whatever pleases the Lord, that has He done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas
and in all deeps;
Who cause the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings forth the wind out of His treasuries.
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and
upon all his servants.

Hallel - ‫הלל‬
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of
Canaan;
And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel His people.
O Lord, Your name endures forever; Your memorial, O Lord, throughout all
generations.
For the Lord will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they don't speak; they have eyes, but they don't see;
They have ears, but they do not hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
They that make them shall be like unto them; every one that trusts in them.
House of Israel, bless the Lord; House of Aaron, bless the Lord;
House of Levi, bless the Lord; you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Halleluyah. (Psalm 135)
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good - for His kindness is everlasting;
Give thanks to the God of gods - for His kindness is everlasting;
Give thanks to the Lord of lords - for His kindness is everlasting;
Who alone does great wonders - for His kindness is everlasting;
Who made the heavens with understanding for His kindness is everlasting;
Who stretched out the earth above the waters for His kindness is everlasting;
Who made the great lights - for His kindness is everlasting;
The sun, to rule by day - for His kindness is everlasting;
The moon and stars, to rule by night - for His kindness is everlasting;
Who struck Egypt through their first-born - for His kindness is everlasting;
And brought Israel out of their midst -
for His kindness is everlasting;
With a strong hand and with an outstretched arm - for His kindness is everlasting;

The soul of every living being shall bless Your Name, Lord, our God; and
the spirit of all flesh shall always glorify and exalt Your remembrance, our
King. From the beginning to the end of the world You are Almighty God;
and other than You we have no King, Redeemer and Savior who delivers, rescues, sustains, answers and is merciful in every time of trouble and
distress; we have no King but You.You are the God of the first and of the
last generations, God of all creatures, Lord of all events, who is extolled
with manifold praises, who directs His world with kindness and His creatures with compassion. Behold, the Lord neither slumbers nor sleeps.
He arouses the sleepers and awakens the slumberous, gives speech to the
mute, releases the bound, supports the falling and raises up those who are
bowed. To You alone we give thanks. Even if our mouths were filled with

song as the sea, and our tongues with joyous singing like the multitudes of
its waves, and our lips with praise like the expanse of the sky; and our eyes
shining like the sun and the moon, and our hands spread out like the eagles
of heaven, and our feet swift like deer we would still be unable to thank You
Lord, our God and God of our fathers, and to bless Your Name, for even one
of the thousands of millions, and myriads of myriads, of favors, miracles and
wonders which You have done for us and for our fathers before us. Lord,
our God. You have redeemed us from Egypt, You have freed us from
the house of bondage, You have fed us in famine and nourished us in
plenty; You have saved us from the sword and delivered us from pestilence,
and raised us from evil and lasting maladies. Until now Your mercies have
helped us, and Your kindnesses have not forsaken us; and do not abandon
us, Lord our God, forever. Therefore, the limbs which You have arranged
within us, and the spirit and soul which You have breathed into our nostrils,
and the tongue which You have placed in our mouth they all shall thank,
bless, praise, glorify, exalt, adore, sanctify and proclaim the sovereignty of
Your Name, our King. For every mouth shall offer thanks to You, every
tongue shall swear by You, every eye shall look to You, every knee shall
bend to You, all who stand erect shall, l bow down before You, all hearts
shall fear You, and every innermost part shall sing praise to Your Name, as
it is written: "All my bones will say, Lord, who is like You; You save the poor
from one stronger than he, the poor and the needy from one who would
rob him." (Ps. 35:10) Who can be likened to You, who is equal to You, who can
be compared to You, the great, mighty, awesome God, God most high, Possessor of heaven and earth. We will laud You, praise You and glorify You, and
we will bless Your holy Name, as it is said: "A Psalm by David; bless the Lord,
O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy Name." (Ps. 103:1)

is the obligation of all creatures before You, Lord, our God and God of our

The Passover Seder is now completed in accordance with all its laws, ordinances and statutes.
Just as we were worthy to perform it, so may
we be worthy to perform it again in the future.
O Pure One who dwells on high, raise up the
congregation which is without number. Soon
lead offshoots of the stock You have planted, redeemed to Zion, rejoicing in song.

counting of the Omer.
On the second night of Passover,
count the omer at this point:

Israel Moment
The Hope
As long as in the heart within,
The Jewish soul yearns,
And toward the eastern edges, onward,
An eye gazes toward Zion.
Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope that is two-thousand years old,
To be a free nation in our land,
The Land of Zion, Jerusalem.

"300 years ago, there came to the New World a boat, and its name was the Mayflower. The Mayflower’s landing on
Plymouth Rock was one of the great historical events in the history of England and in the history of America. But I would like to ask any Englishman sitting here on
the commission, what date did the Mayflower leave port? How many people were on the boat? Who were their leaders? What kind of food did they eat on the boat? More than
3,300 years ago, long before the Mayflower, our people left Egypt, and every Jew in the world, wherever he is, knows what day they left. And he knows what food they ate. And
we still eat that food with every anniversary. And we know who our leader was. And we sit down and tell the story to our children and grandchildren in order to guarantee that it
will never be forgotten. And we say our two slogans: ‘Now we may be enslaved, but next year, we’ll be a free people.’ . . . Now we are in the prison of the Soviet Union. Now, we’re
in Germany where Hitler is destroying us. Now we’re scattered throughout the world, but next year, we’ll be in Jerusalem. There’ll come a day that we’ll come home to Zion, to the
Land of Israel. That is the nature of the Jewish people."
- David Ben Gurion Speech to the Peel Commission, 1936
