WELCOME TO THE

passover haggadah

The Passover Seder's 15 steps to Freedom

Passover

is the biblical festival that celebrates our ancestorsโ€™ Exodus from Egyptian slavery and the birth of the Jewish nation.

The Haggadah relates the Exodus and guides its reader through the 15-step โ€œorderโ€ of the Passover meal, also known as the Seder (lit. order).

On Passover, God commands us to retell and relive the Exodus, and the Haggadah is our map to exploring the themes and symbolism of freedom and slavery. The Talmud says: โ€œWe must all feel as if we have gone out of Egypt.โ€ So clearly, Passover not only celebrates a moment in history but also empowers us to achieve personal spiritual freedom today.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, spoke and wrote extensively on the great spiritual power and potential in the Passover rituals. The present Haggadah seeks to share some of the Rebbeโ€™s ideas on how Passover relates to our day-to-day struggles and ultimate purpose.

Please use this Haggadah as your practical guide to leaving your own personal โ€œEgyptโ€ and finding the beauty of true freedom.

Wishing you a kosher and happy Passover, Rabbi Shmuel Marcus

Based on the teachings of the LUBAVITCHER

REBBE

Today, the wisdom of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), fills over 300 volumes, and his words continue to awake and empower the Divine soul within us all.

THE PASSOVER OFFERING

In the time of the Beit Hamikdash, the Pesach (passover) offering was sacrificed after the daily afternoon offering. Thus it is appropriate to study the order of the Pesach offering after Minchah:

The Pesach offering is brought from yearling male lambs or goats, and slaughtered anywhere in the Temple court only after midday of the fourteenth of Nissan, after the slaughtering of the daily afternoon offering and after the afternoon cleaning of the cups of the menorah. One should not slaughter the Pesach offering while chametz is in his possession. If he slaughtered it before the daily afternoon offering, it is acceptable, provided that someone stir the blood of the Pesach offering so that it will not congeal until the blood of the daily afternoon offering will have been sprinkled, and then the blood of the Pesach offering is sprinkled once toward the base of the altar. How is it done? The shochet slaughters it, and the first Kohen at the head of the line receives it and hands it over to his colleague, and his colleague to his colleague, and the Kohen nearest the altar sprinkles it once toward the base of the altar. He returns the empty vessel to his colleague, and his colleague to his colleague, receiving first the full vessel and then returning the empty one. There were rows of silver vessels and rows of golden vessels, and the vessels did not have flat bottoms lest they set them down and the blood become congealed. Afterwards they hung the Pesach offering, flayed it completely, tore it open, and cleansed its bowels until the wastes were removed. They took out the parts offered on the altar, namely, the fat that is on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the tail up to the backbone, and placed them in a ritual vessel. The Kohen then salted them and burned them upon the altar, each one individually. The slaughtering, the sprinkling of its blood, the cleansing of its bowels and the burning of its fat override the Shabbat, but other things pertaining to it do not override the Shabbat. Likewise, if [the fourteenth of Nissan] occurs on Shabbat, the Pesach offerings are not carried home, but one group remains with their Pesach offerings on the Temple mount, the second group sits in the chel [an area just outside the Temple court], and the third stands in its place [in the courtyard]. After nightfall they go to their places and roast their Pesach offering. The Pesach offering was slaughtered in three groups, each group consisting of no less than thirty men. The first group entered, filling the Temple court. They closed [its doors], and while they were slaughtering it and offering its parts on the altar, they [the Leviโ€™im] recited the Hallel. If they finished [Hallel] before all had sacrificed, they repeated it, and if they repeated it [and were not finished yet], they recited it a third time. Each time Hallel was recited, [the Kohanim] sounded three blasts of the trumpet: tekiah, teruah, tekiah. When the offering was ended, they opened the doors of the Temple court, the first group went out and the second entered, and they closed the doors of the Temple court. When they finished, they opened the doors, the second group went out and the third entered. The procedure of each group was the same. After they all had left, they washed the Temple court, even on Shabbat, of the dirt of the blood. How was the washing done? A water duct passed through the Temple court and had an outlet from the court. When they wished to wash the floor, they shut the outlet and the stream overflowed its sides until the water rose and flooded the [floor] all around and all the blood and dirt of the court were gathered to it. Then they opened the outlet, everything flowed out and the floor was completely clean; this is the honor of the Temple. If the Pesach offering was found to be unfit, one did not fulfill his obligation until he brings another one.

This is a very brief description of the order of the Pesach offering. The God-fearing person should recite it in its proper time, so that its recital should be regarded in place of its offering. One should be troubled about the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash, and plead before God, the Creator of the universe, that He rebuild it speedily in our days, Amen.

Before you Passover, you'll need to rid yourself of any Chametz.

The night before Passover

THE SEARCH FOR CHAMETZ

The night before Passover, put out ten pieces of bread, Search for Chametz and burn it the following morning. (When the first Seder occurs on a Saturday night, the search and burning of chametz are moved up to Thursday evening and Friday morning, respectively.)

Search for the Chametz with a candle, feather, and wooden spoon. Recite the following blessings before the search:

Blessed are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the removal of chametz.

After the search, recite the statement of nullification:

All leaven and anything leavened that is in my possession, which I have neither seen nor removed, and about which I am unaware, shall be considered nullified and ownerless as the dust of the earth.

light of a โ€œcandleโ€

The search for chametz or ego is โ€œby the light of a candle.โ€ Your soul is called โ€œthe candle of God,โ€ which illuminates your path to personal improvement and freedom. So let your light destroy any self-centeredness still hiding in the โ€œcrevicesโ€ of your heart.

The morning before Passover BURNING THE CHAMETZ

The next morning, be sure to burn the Chametz and recite the following:

ื”ื™ืชื™ื–ึฒื—ื“

ื”ื™ืชื™ืžึฒื—ื“

,ื”ื™ืชืจืขื‘

All leaven and anything leavened that is in my possession, whether I have seen it or not, whether I have observed it or not, whether I have removed it or not, shall be considered nullified and ownerless as the dust of the earth.

The following is said during the burning of the chametz:

May it be Your will, GOD, our God and God of our fathers, that just as I remove the chametz from my house and from my possession, so shall You remove all the extraneous forces. Remove the spirit of impurity from the earth, remove our evil inclination from us, and grant us a heart of flesh to serve You in truth. Make all the sitra achara, all the kelipot, and all wickedness be consumed in smoke, and remove the dominion of evil from the earth. Remove with a spirit of destruction and a spirit of judgment all that distress the Shechinah, just as You destroyed Egypt and its idols in those days, at this time. Amen, Selah.

EIRUV TAVSHILIN

When the first two days of Passover occur on Thursday and Friday, then on Wednesday one should make an eruv tavshilin

This is done in order that one may prepare food on the festival for Shabbat. The eruv tavshilin is made by taking matzah designated for Shabbat, as well as a highly regarded cooked food such as meat or fish, and handing these over to another person through whom he grants a share in this eruv to the entire community.

ERUV TAVSHILIN

The one making the eruv hands the food items to another person, and says:

The one holding the food items raises them up a few inches, and then returns them to the one making the eruv, who recites the following:

I hereby grant a share in this eruv to anyone who wishes to participate in it and to depend upon it: Blessed are You, GOD our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of eruv.

Through this it shall be permissible for us to bake, to cook, to put away [a dish to preserve its heat], to kindle a light, and to prepare and do on the Festival all that is necessary for the Shabbatโ€”for us and for all Israelites who dwell in this city.

The food items are then put aside to be eaten on Shabbat.

When the first Seder is Wednesday night:

LIGHTING THE WAY candle lighting blessings

โ€œFor the candle is a Mitzvah, and the Torah is light.โ€ โ€”Proverbs 6:23

Illuminate your home and your path to freedom with the lights of the Shabbat and Festival candles. Let the light of the Torah guide you and protect you as you navigate life's unpredictable journey.

Blessings & Instructions:

Women and girls light candles at least eighteen minutes before sunset. On the second night of Passover (or on a Saturday night), the lights are kindled after nightfall from a pre-existing flame.

On Friday evening, add the words in parentheses.

Blessed are You, GOD our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us to kindle the (Shabbat and) Yom Tov light.

Blessed are You, GOD our God, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us and enabled us to reach this occasion.

FRIDAY NIGHT HYMNS

Peace unto you, ministering angels, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. (Say three times)

May your coming be in peace, angels of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. (Say three times)

Bless me with peace, angels of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. (Say three times)

May your departure be in peace, angels of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. (Say three times)

For He will instruct His angels in your behalf, to guard you in all your ways. GOD will guard your going and your coming from now and for all time. Who can find a wife of excellence? Her value far exceeds that of gems. The heart of her husband trusts in her, he lacks no gain. She treats him with goodness, never with evil, all the days of her life. She seeks out wool and flax, and works willingly with her hands. She is like the merchant ships; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is still night, gives food to her household, and sets out the tasks for her maids. She considers a field and buys it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard. She girds her loins with strength, and flexes her arms. She realizes that her enterprise is profitable; her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands on the spindle, and her palms grasp the distaff. She holds out her hand to the poor, and extends her hands to the destitute. She does not fear for her household in the frost, for her entire household is clothed [warmly] in scarlet. She makes her own tapestries; her garments are of fine linen and purple. Her husband is well-known at the gates, as he sits with the elders of the land. She makes linens and sells [them]; she provides the merchants with girdles. Strength and dignity are her garb, she looks smilingly toward the future. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She watches the conduct of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise and acclaim her, her husbandโ€” and he praises her: Many daughters have done worthily, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive and beauty is naught; a God-fearing woman is the one to be praised. Give her praise for her accomplishments, and let her deeds laud her at the gates.

A Psalm by David. GOD is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He revives my soul; He directs me in paths of righteousness for the sake of His Name. Even if I will walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staffโ€”they will comfort me. You will prepare a table for me before my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup is full. Only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the House of GOD for many long years.

This is the meal of the holy Chakal Tapuchin.

Prepare the meal of perfect faith, which is the delight of the holy King; prepare the meal of the King. This is the meal of the holy Chakal Tapuchin, and Zโ€™eir Anpin and the holy Ancient One come to join her in the meal.

Friday nights: 10 Freedom Haggadah 5783 - Softcover.indd 10 1/20/2023 9:19:57 AM
Seder: On

PASSOVER ILLUMINATED people, places, & things

CHAMETZ VS. MATZAH

Chametz is fermented grains, and God forbids it on Passover. The rising of the dough represents that swelling of ego that enslaves us. So instead, God tells us to eat matzah, the flat, modest poor manโ€™s bread that represents the humility and faith that are the ultimate liberators of our human spirit.

WHAT IS SHMURAH MATZAH?

Shmurah Matzah, or guarded matzah, is made from verified wheat thatโ€™s been โ€œguardedโ€ from moisture every step of the way from harvest to the final product. It only takes 18 minutes for wet flour to become leavened or chametz.

Hand-made Shmurah Matzah is produced and baked in quick increments of less than 18 minutes. The human touch infuses the matzah-making process with the intended purpose of being baked for the mitzvah.

PHAROAH

The Egyptian ruler who enslaved our ancestors, Pharaoh, credited himself as the creator of the Nile River that sustained the region. Pharaoh said he was a self-made man, claiming he had no birth parents like a god. This ego-centric way of thinking traps our hearts in a land of selfishness and enslaves our minds to the harsh narrowmindedness of โ€œme.โ€

MOSES

Moses, the humble, faithful shepherd who confronted the Pharaoh, was chosen by God to lead the Jews out of Egypt because of his unique ability to shepherd the unbreakable spark of faith buried deep in the hearts of the oppressed Jews. Even enslaved people crushed under Pharaohโ€™s rule can eventually find redemption, but it takes a Moses to show us whatโ€™s possible when we ignite our inner spark of faith.

EGYPT

Egypt in Hebrew is Mitzraim. Itโ€™s the land where Pharaoh enslaved our ancestors. Mitzraim is also a Hebrew word that means limitations, narrowness, or self-imposed boundaries.

REDEMPTION

The Exodus from Egypt happens to you, but the final Redemption happens through you. The bitter tears of Exile let you see that the ultimate redemption happens, not by escaping Egypt but by transforming it.

THE SEDER PLATE

It's Your Story

The seder plate represents every aspect of you. The three matzot represent the three intellectual powers of your soul, while the six food symbols and the dish itself represent your seven emotions. Prepare for total freedom and let it transform all of you.

start here

12 Freedom Haggadah 5783 - Softcover.indd 12 1/20/2023 9:20:00 AM

MATZAH

Start with three matzot.

Israelite: First place the the bottom matzah, which you will need for the korech sandwich. See Seder step 10.

Levite: Then place the middle matzah, which will be broken in half and used for relating the Exodus, eating after the blessing, and for the afikoman. See Seder step 4, step 8, and step 12.

Kohen: Top it off with the Kohenโ€”youโ€™ll eat this top matzah with a blessing during the Seder. See Seder step 7 and 8.

ZROAH

Shank Bone to commemorate the Passover sacrifice. Many use a roasted chicken neck.

Prep: Roast the chicken neck over an open flame. Afterward, remove most of the meat to reveal the bone. Use: The shank bone or chicken neck is symbolic and not eaten.

BEITZAH

A hard-boiled egg to commemorate the Temple's holiday sacrifice.

Prep: Boil one egg per Seder plate and possibly more for use during the shulchan orech meal. Use: The egg is dipped into salt water and eaten right before the meal starts. See Seder step 11.

MAROR

Bitter herbs remind us of slavery. Most use freshly grated horseradish on romaine lettuce.

Prep: Buy fresh horseradish root and grate it. Wash romaine lettuce and check for bugs. Pat dry. Use: During the blessing over the bitter herbs, hold the maror and then dip it lightly into the charoset before eating it. See Seder step 9.

CHAROSET

Charoset (the apples, pears, nut and wine puree) reminds us of our ancestors' hard work in creating mortar and bricks in Egypt.

Prep: Put ground walnuts, peeled apples and pears in a bowl, chop finely, and mix well. Add a little grape juice or red wine.

Use: The maror is dipped into the charoset. See Seder steps 9 & 10.

KARPAS

The traditional vegetable (boiled potato or raw onion) is dipped into salt water at step 3 in the Seder to provoke questions.

Prep: Peel the vegetable and place on the Seder plate. Also, prepare a small bowl of salt water. Use: At karpas, the vegetable is dipped into salt water before it's eaten. See blessing at Seder step 3.

CHAZERET

Bitter herbs remind us of slavery. Most use freshly grated horseradish on romaine lettuce.

Prep: Buy fresh horseradish root and grate it. Wash romaine lettuce and check for bugs. Pat dry. Use: During the korech sandwich, use these bitter herbs. Dip it lightly into the charoset before using it. See Seder step 10.

Kiddush How-To:

1. Fill your cup for Kiddush and let the wine and blessings overflow.

2. Hold cup in the palm of your right hand for Kiddush.

On Friday night, begin here:

raise a glass to freedom

The gift of holiness is your key to escaping the shackles of the material world and finding true Divine freedom. The first of the four cups will raise your awareness of the Exodus and how God gifts us holiness through His mitzvot and Festivals.

Blessed are You, God, our God, King of the universe, who has chosen us from among all people, and raised us above all tongues, and made us holy through His commandments. And You, God, our God, have given us in love (Shabbats for rest and) festivals for happiness, feasts and festive seasons for rejoicing, (this Shabbat day and) the day of this Feast of Matzot, and this Festival of holy convocation, the Season of our Freedom, (in love), a holy convocation, commemorating the departure from Egypt. For You have chosen us and sanctified us from all the nations, and You have given us as a heritage Your holy (Shabbat and) Festivals, (in love and favor,) in happiness and joy. Blessed are You, God, who sanctifies (the Shabbat and) Israel and the festive seasons.

Blessed are You, God, our God, King of the universe, who makes a distinction between sacred and profane, between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations, between the seventh day and the six workdays. You have made a distinction between the holiness of the Shabbat and the holiness of the festival, and You have sanctified the seventh day above the six workdays. You have set apart and made holy Your people Israel with Your holiness. Blessed are You, God, who makes a distinction between holy and holy.

are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the earth.

wash your hands of pettymindedness

The preparatory act of washing your hands is considered a complete step in itself. Washing your hands of limited beliefs of what is or isnโ€™t possible is a significant step toward Divine liberation.

Any story of freedom will have damaged parts because itโ€™s through our brokenness that we become whole. Breaking the matzah demonstrates how your brokenness is only a chapter in your tale of complete redemption.

Itโ€™s tough to remain a child once you grow up, but when you ask the four questions with childlike wonder, it awakens Godโ€™s unconditional parental love for you.

and GOD, 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 childrenโ€™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; and 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 Bโ€™nei Berak. They were discussing the exodus from Egypt all that night, until their students came and told them: โ€œOur Masters! The time has come for reciting the morning Shema!โ€

Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah said: โ€œI am like a man of seventy years old, yet I did not succeed in proving that the exodus from Egypt must be mentioned at nightโ€”until Ben Zoma explained it: โ€˜It is said, โ€œThat you may remember the day you left Egypt all the days of your lifeโ€; now โ€œthe days of your lifeโ€ refers to the days, [and the additional word] โ€œallโ€ indicates the inclusion of the nights!โ€™โ€ The Sages, however, said: โ€œโ€˜The days of your lifeโ€™ refers to the present-day world; and โ€˜allโ€™ indicates the inclusion of the days of Moshiach.โ€

Blessed is the Omnipresent One, blessed be He! Blessed is He who gave the Torah to His people Israel, blessed be He! The Torah speaks of four children: One is wise, one is wicked, one is simple and one does not know how to ask.

What does the wise one say? โ€œWhat are the testimonies, the statutes and the laws which GOD, our God, has commanded you?โ€ You, in turn, shall instruct him in the laws of Pesach, [up to] โ€œone is not to eat any dessert after the Pesach-lamb.โ€

four sons

the fifth son

The modern Pharaoh of assimilation has created a fifth son unaware of Judaism and Passover. So as you strive for your personal Passover freedom, remember to help bring that neighbor, co-worker, or classmate back home to God. You'll see that true Divine freedom occurs when you help someone else.

The Simple Oneโ€”The simpleton, what does he say? โ€œWhat is this?โ€ Thus you shall say to him: โ€œGOD took us out of Egypt, from the house of slaves, with a strong hand.โ€

As for The One Who Knows Not How To Askโ€”you must initiate him, as it is said: โ€œYou shall tell your child on that day, โ€˜It is because of this that GOD acted for me when I left Egypt.โ€™โ€

One may think that [the discussion of the Exodus] must be from the first of the month. The Torah therefore says, โ€œOn that day.โ€ โ€œOn that day,โ€ however, could mean while it is yet daytime; the Torah therefore says, โ€œIt is because of this.โ€ The expression โ€œbecause of thisโ€ can only be said when matzah and maror are placed before you.

In the beginning, our fathers served idols; but now the Omnipresent One has brought us close to His service, as it is said: โ€œJoshua said to all the people: Thus said GOD, the God of Israel, โ€˜Your fathers used to live on the other side of the riverโ€”Terach, the father of Abraham and the father of Nachorโ€”and they served other gods.

โ€œโ€˜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.โ€™โ€

Blessed is He who keeps His promise to Israelโ€”blessed be He! For the Holy One, blessed be He, calculated the end [of the bondage], in order to do as He had said to our father Abraham at the Covenant between the Portions, as it is said: โ€œAnd He said to Abraham, โ€˜You shall know that your seed will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and they will enslave them and make them suffer, for four hundred years. But I shall also judge the nation whom they shall serve, and after that they will come out with great wealth.โ€™โ€

us!

not just one alone has risen against us to destroy us, but in every generation they rise against us to destroy us; and the Holy One, blessed be He, saves us from their hand!

Go forth and learn what Laban the Aramean wanted to do to our father Jacob. Pharaoh had issued a decree against the male children only, but Laban wanted to uproot everyoneโ€”as it is said: โ€œThe Aramean wished to destroy my father; and he went down to Egypt and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nationโ€”great, mighty and numerous.โ€

โ€œAnd he went down to Egyptโ€โ€”forced by Divine decree. โ€œAnd he sojourned thereโ€โ€”this teaches that our father Jacob did not go down to Egypt to settle,

the promise

The struggle is real, and your faith is constantly under attack, but God promised Abraham that He would save you from enemies both without and within. You're unstoppable with God on your side.

God doesn't send a messenger to rescue the Jews because to achieve redemption for others, you need to show up yourself. When you see fellow Jews struggling along the path to freedom, reach out yourself and with all of you.

โ€œGOD took us out of Egypt with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with a great manifestation, and with signs and wonders.โ€

โ€œGOD took us out of Egyptโ€โ€”not through an angel, not through a seraph and not through a messenger. The Holy One, blessed be He, did it in His glory by Himself! Thus it is said: โ€œOn that night I will pass through the land of Egypt, and I will smite every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man to beast, and I will carry out judgments against all the gods of Egypt, Iโ€”GOD.โ€ โ€œI will pass through the land of Egypt,โ€ I and not an angel. โ€œAnd I will smite every first-born in the land of Egypt,โ€ I and not a seraph. โ€œAnd I will carry out judgments against all the gods of Egypt,โ€ I and not a messenger. โ€œIโ€”GOD,โ€ it is I, and none other!

โ€œWith a strong handโ€โ€”this refers to the pestilence, as it is said: โ€œBehold, the hand of GOD will be upon your livestock in the field, upon the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds and the flocks, a very severe pestilence.โ€ โ€œAnd with an outstretched armโ€ this refers to the sword, as it is said: โ€œHis sword was drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem.โ€ โ€œAnd with a great manifestationโ€โ€”this refers to the revelation of the Shechinah (Divine Presence), as it is said: โ€œHas any god ever tried to take for himself a nation from the midst of another nation, with trials, signs and wonders, with war and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great manifestations, like all that GOD, your God, did for you in Egypt before your eyes!โ€ โ€œAnd with signsโ€โ€”this refers to the staff, as it is said: โ€œTake into your hand this staff, with which you shall perform the signs.โ€ โ€œAnd wondersโ€โ€”this refers to the blood, as it is said: โ€œAnd I shall show wonders in heaven and on earthโ€”

Another explanation: โ€œStrong handโ€ indicates two [plagues]; โ€œOutstretched arm,โ€ another two; โ€œGreat manifestation,โ€ another two; โ€œSigns,โ€ another two; and โ€œWonders,โ€ another two.

These are the Ten Plagues that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought upon the Egyptians. They are:

pure joy

When you actively spill out any negative energy or "wine of wrath," you end up with a cup full of pure joy.

the ten plagues

Ultimately, the ten plagues intended to remove "Egypt" from the hearts and minds of the Jews, allowing them to leave as a free nation. You can leave Egypt and still fear Pharaoh. Your ego can follow you wherever you go. So God struck Egypt to ensure that you leave the "Egyptian mindset" behind.

When saying the ten plagues, spill ten times, once during each plague, into the broken dish. ืึธื“ ึทืขึฝึตื“ึฐืจึทืคึฐืฆ ืื™ึดื ึดึผื› ื‘ื•ืจึธืข ืจึถื‘ึฝึถื“ ืŸื™ึดื—ึฐืฉ ื“ึธืจึธึผื‘ ื”ึถึผื‘ึฐืจึทื ืšึถืฉึฝื— ืชึทึผื›ึทืž ืชื•ืจื•ื›ึฐึผื‘ Blood.

Rabbi Yosai of the Galilee said: Where does the Torah indicate that in Egypt the Egyptians were struck by ten plagues and at the sea by fifty plagues? Regarding Egypt, what does it say? The magicians said to Pharaoh, โ€œThis is the finger of God.โ€ And regarding the sea, what does it say? Israel saw the great hand that God laid against Egypt; and the people feared God, and they believed in God and in His servant Moses. Now, with how many plagues were they struck by โ€œthe fingerโ€? Ten plagues. Deduce, then, that in Egypt they were struck by ten plagues, and by fifty plagues at the sea since a hand has five fingers

Rabbi Eliezer said: Where does the Torah indicate that each individual plague that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt consisted of four plagues? For it is written, He sent against them His fierce anger which expressed itself in fury, and rage, and affliction, a contingent of messengers of evil: Fury is one; rageโ€”two; afflictionโ€”three; contingent of messengers of evilโ€”four. Deduce, then, that in Egypt they were struck by forty plagues, and at the sea by 200 plagues.

Rabbi Akiva said: Where does the Torah indicate that each individual plague that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt consisted of five plagues? For it is written: He sent against them His fierce anger, fury, and rage, and affliction, a contingent of messengers of evil: His fierce anger is one; furyโ€”two; rageโ€”three; afflictionโ€”four; contingent of messengers of evilโ€”five. Deduce, then, that in Egypt they were struck by fifty plagues, and at the sea they were stricken by 250 plagues.

[Note] how many levels of favors the Omnipresent One has bestowed upon us!

If He had brought us out from Egypt, and had not carried out judgments against them โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had carried out judgments against them, and not against their idols โ€” Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had destroyed their idols, and had not smitten their first-born โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

the provider

Pharaoh claimed that he created the Nile and sustained the region, so God turned the Nile into undrinkable blood. It's knowing that God is your true provider that sets you free.

wonder of wonders

It was a great wonder when God split the Sea of Reeds, and perhaps, itโ€™s a more incredible wonder that you are still experiencing it today.

If He had smitten their first-born, and had not given us their wealth โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had given us their wealth, and had not split the sea for us โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had split the sea for us, and had not taken us through it on dry land โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had taken us through the sea on dry land, and had not drowned our oppressors in it โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had drowned our oppressors in it, and had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, and had not fed us the manna โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had fed us the manna, and had not given us the Shabbat โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had given us the Shabbat, and had not brought us before Mount Sinai โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had brought us before Mount Sinai, and had not given us the Torah โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had given us the Torah, and had not brought us into the land of Israel โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

If He had brought us into the land of Israel, and had not built for us the Beit Habechirah (Chosen House; the Beit Hamikdash) โ€”Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!

Thus how much more so should we be grateful to the Omnipresent One for the doubled and redoubled goodness that He has bestowed upon us; for He has brought us out of Egypt, and carried out judgments against them, and against their idols, and smote their first-born, and gave us their wealth, and split the sea for us, and took us 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 Beit Habechirah to atone for all our sins.

To Summarize: Tonight we discuss the Passover offering, and we eat Matzah and Maror.

daily exodus

In your personal life, eating the biblically mandated Matzah ensures year-round adherence to other Jewish mandates. Likewise, the Rabbinic enactment to eat Maror encourages personal safeguards around your Jewish progress. Finally, the symbolic shank bone that recalls the Templeโ€™s Passover offering inspires you to infuse holiness and meaning into your everyday life.

matzah

Matzah is edible faith when eaten with a blessing on Passover night. Consuming the Divinity within the matzah can enhance your trust in God and reduce any resistance to holiness. Eating matzah allows you to internalize Godliness and experience true freedom.

Maror

(the bitter herbs)

Matzah

(the unleavened bread)

Pesachโ€”the Pesach-lamb that our fathers ate during the time of the Beit Hamikdashโ€” for what reason [did they do so]? Because the Omnipresent passed over our fathersโ€™ houses in Egypt, as it is said: โ€œYou shall say, โ€˜It is a Pesachoffering to GOD, 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.โ€™ And the people bowed and prostrated themselves.โ€

Pesach

(the Pesach-sacrifice)

Rabban Gamliel used to say: โ€œWhoever does not discuss the following three things on Pesach has not fulfilled his duty, namely: ืŸืžื–ื‘ ืื™ืœื›ึนื•ื ื•ื ื™ ึฝึต ืชึนื•ื‘ื ื•ื™ื” ื—ืก ึฝึถ ืค ,ื”ืž ืื•ืืฉ ืœืข ืื™ึทืง ื“ึฐืงืžื” ืชื™ื‘ ื•ื ื™ ึฝึต ืชึนื•ื‘ื ื™ืชื‘ ืœืข ืึนื•ืงืžื” ื—ืกืค ื ื•ืืฉ ืœืข ื—ืก ึฝึถ ืค ื—ื‘ ึฝึถ ื– ืืชืจืžืื• :ืจืžืึถื  ,ื ื™ ึฝึธ ืจืฆืžื‘ ืœืืจื‚ืฉ ื™ ื™ึตื ื‘ ื™ืชื‘ ืœืข ื—ืกืค ืจืืฉ ื ื™ื™ืœ ืื•ื” ื•ื ื™ ึฝึต ืชื‘ ืชืื• ืื™ ึฝึท ืจืฆืž ืชื ึนื•ืคื’ึธื ื‘ ืื™ ึฝึท ืจืฆืžื‘ :ื•ื•ึฒื—ืชืืฉ ื™ื• ืืขื” ื“ืงื™ื• ,ืœื™ืฆื” ืœืข ,ื”ืž ืื•ืืฉ ืœืข ืื™ืœื›ึนื•ื ื•ื  ึฝึธ ื ึนื•ื– ื”ืฆืž ืœ ืชึถืง ึฝึถ ืฆื‘ ืงื™ืคืกื” ืึนืœ ื ื•ืืฉ ืื”ื™ืœืข ื”ืœื’ึดื  ื“ ืข ืฅื™ืžึฒื—ื”ืœ ื•ื ื™ ึฝึต ืชึนื•ื‘ื

This matzah that we eatโ€”for what reason? Because the dough of our fathers did not have time to become leavened before the King of the kings of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, revealed Himself to them and redeemed them. Thus it is said: โ€œThey 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.โ€

This maror that we eatโ€”for what reason? Because the Egyptians embittered our fathersโ€™ lives in Egypt, as it is said: โ€œThey made their lives bitter with hard work, with mortar and with bricks, and with all manner of service in the field; all their work which they made them perform with rigor.โ€

As it is said: โ€œYou shall tell your child on that day, โ€˜It is because of this that GOD acted for me when I left Egypt.โ€™โ€ The Holy One, blessed be He, redeemed not only our fathers from Egypt, but He redeemed also us with them, as it is said: โ€œIt was us that He brought out from there, so that He might bring us to give us the land that He swore to our fathers.โ€

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 our fathers and for us. He took us from slavery to freedom, from sorrow to joy, from mourning to festivity, from deep darkness to great light and from bondage to redemption. Let us therefore recite before Him: Halleluyahโ€”Praise God!

Halleluyahโ€”Praise God! Offer praise, you servants of GOD; praise the name of GOD. May GODโ€™s name be blessed from now and to all eternity. From the rising of the sun to its setting, GODโ€™s Name is praised. GOD is high above all nations; His glory is over the heavens. Who is like GOD, 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. Halleluyahโ€”praise God!

He redeemed also us

This daily Exodus happens when you declare: โ€œThe Lord is our God, the Lord is One.โ€ Itโ€™s your ongoing dedication to Godโ€™s unity that allows the Divine soul to transcend the bodyโ€™s natural limitations.

the passover leap

The term โ€œPassover,โ€ to jump or leap, is also Godโ€™s message to us on how to leave our personal Egypt. When we put up protective walls that divide us, the only way out is to take that quantum leap of faith and commit fully to Godโ€™s plan.

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 young sheep. What is with you, O sea, that you flee; Jordan, that you turn backward? Mountains, why do you skip like rams; hills, like young sheep? [We do so] before the Master, the Creator of the earth, before the God of Jacob, who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint-stone into a spring of water.

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 peaceโ€”with happiness in the rebuilding of Your city, and with rejoicing in Your service [in the Beit Hamikdash]. Then we shall eat

Blessed are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

wash your hands of smallmindedness

Rochtza, the preparatory act of washing your hands for the matzah, is considered a complete step in itself. Washing your hands of smallmindedness and opening yourself up to positive change is a significant step toward your Promised Land.

Blessed are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the eating of matzah.

poor manโ€™s bread

Chametz is fermented grains, and God forbids it on Passover. The rising of the dough represents that swelling of ego that enslaves us. So instead, God tells us to eat matzah, the flat, modest poor manโ€™s bread that represents the humility and faith that are the ultimate liberators of our human spirit.

edible faith

Matzah is the Divine mitzvah that you can digest. The Zohar calls matzah "bread of faith" and "bread of healing." The humble matzah helps you discover your powerful inner faith in God. The matzah inspires a belief that not only heals but also prevents illness.

digest the bitter truth

Honest reflection is the best way to ensure that your past remains there and doesnโ€™t follow you on your path to freedom. The bitter herb, the uncomfortable truth of our situation, will motivate and keep you humble.

Blessed are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the eating of maror.

Eat an ounce of maror without reclining.

Thus did Hillel do at the time of the Beit Hamikdash: he would combine the Pesachoffering, matzah and maror and eat them together, as it is said: โ€œThey shall eat it with matzot and bitter herbs.โ€

the sandwich of faith and humility

One should not eat or drink after eating the afikoman. On the first night of Pesach, the afikoman should be eaten before midnight.

BEIRACH

A Song of Ascents. When GOD 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, โ€œGOD has done great things for these.โ€ GOD has done great things for us; we were joyful. GOD, 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.

A Psalm by the sons of Korach, a song whose foundation is in the holy mountains. GOD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling-places of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon unto those that know me; behold Philistia and Tyre, as well as Cush, โ€œThis one was born there.โ€ But of Zion it will be said, โ€œThis man and that man was born there,โ€ and He, the Most High, will establish it. GOD will count the register of the nations, โ€œThis one was born there.โ€ Selah. Singers and dancers alike [will chant], โ€œAll my inner thoughts are of you.โ€

I will bless GOD at all times; His praise is always in my mouth. The ultimate conclusion, all having been heard: fear God and observe His commandments, for this is the whole of man. My mouth will utter the praise of GOD, and all flesh shall bless His holy Name forever and ever. And we will bless GOD from now and forever. Halleluyahโ€” praise God!

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage assigned to him by God.

Rinse the fingertips (but do not pass them over the lips as during the rest of the year), then recite the following:

And he said to me: This is the table that is before GOD.

the afikoman dessert

Like the Passover offering, eat the afikoman as an enjoyable dessert. Your hunger and need for Godliness have brought you this far, but ultimately, your Divine service should go beyond your own needs.

When God provided manna in the desert, Moses composed the blessing for He who provides food for all.

Today, God sends you manna in the form of income and livelihood. When you humbly see yourself as the beneficiary of God's kindness, you open yourself up to blessings that seem to fall right out of the heavens.

Leader: Gentlemen, let us say the Blessings.

Others: May the Name of GOD be blessed from now and to all eternity.

Leader: May the Name of GOD be blessed from now and to all eternity. With your permission, esteemed gentlemen, let us bless Him (our God) of whose bounty we have eaten.

Others: Blessed be He (our God) of whose bounty we have eaten and by whose goodness we live.

Leader: Blessed be He (our God) of whose bounty we have eaten and by whose goodness we live.

Blessed are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, who, in His goodness, feeds the whole 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 are not lacking, and may we never lack food, for the sake of His great Name. For He is a [benevolent] God who feeds and sustains all, does good to all, and prepares food for all His creatures whom He has created, as it is said: โ€œYou open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.โ€ Blessed are You, GOD, who provides food for all.

We thank You, GOD, our God, for having given as a heritage to our fathers a precious, good and spacious land; for having brought us out, GOD 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.

For all this, GOD, our God, we thank You and bless You. May Your Name be blessed by the mouth of every living being, constantly and forever. As it is written: โ€œWhen you have eaten and are satiated, you shall bless GOD, your God, for the good land which He has given you.โ€ Blessed are You, GOD, for the land and for the food.

Have mercy, GOD, our God, upon Israel Your people, upon Jerusalem Your city, upon Zion the abode of Your glory, upon the kingship of the house of David Your anointed, and upon the great and holy House which is called by Your Name. Our God, our Father, our Shepherd, feed us, sustain us, nourish us and give us comfort; and speedily, GOD, our God, grant us relief from all our afflictions. GOD, our God, please do not make us dependent upon the gifts of mortal men nor upon their loans, but only upon Your full, open, holy and generous hand, that we may not be shamed or disgraced forever and ever.

May it please You, GOD, our God, to strengthen us through Your commandments, and through the precept of the Seventh Day, this great and holy Shabbat. For this day is great and holy before You, to refrain from work and to rest thereon with love, in accordance with the commandment of Your will. In Your will, GOD, our God, bestow upon us tranquility, that there shall be no trouble, sadness or grief on the day of our rest. GOD, our God, let us see the consolation of Zion Your city, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem Your holy city, for You are the Master of [all] salvations and the Master of [all] consolations.
On Friday night:

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. May the Merciful One sustain us with honor. May the Merciful One break the yoke of exile from our neck, and may He lead us upright to our land. May the Merciful One send abundant blessing into this house and upon this table at which we have eaten. May the Merciful One send us Elijah the prophetโ€”may he be remembered for goodโ€”and may he bring us good tidings, salvations and consolations. 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, โ€œin everything,โ€ โ€œfrom everything,โ€ with โ€œeverything,โ€ 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 GOD and just kindness from the God of our salvation, and may we find grace and good understanding in the eyes of God and man.

On Friday night: 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.

May the Merciful One grant us the privilege of reaching the days of Moshiach and the life of the World to Come. He is a tower of salvation to His king, and bestows kindness upon His anointed, to David and his descendants forever. He who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

Fear GOD, you His holy ones, for those who fear Him suffer no want. Young lions are in need and go hungry, but those who seek GOD shall not lack any good. Give thanks to GOD, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Blessed is the man who trusts in GOD, and GOD will be his trust.

The Cup of Elijah

The Sederโ€™s four cups correspond to the four โ€œexpressions of redemptionโ€ promised by G-d: 1. โ€œI will take you out,โ€ 2. โ€œI will save you,โ€ 3. โ€œI will redeem you,โ€ and, 4. โ€œI will take you to Myself as a nation.โ€

The cup of Elijah corresponds to the fifth expression of redemption, โ€œI will bring you to the Land.โ€ This expression alludes to the future redemption, which Elijah will announce. Therefore, we drink the four cups but only gaze towards and visualize the future redemption of the fifth cup, the cup of Elijah.

The fourth cup is poured. The doors are opened

On weeknights, it is customary to take a lit candle to the front door. The following paragraph is recited. The doors are closed.

Pour out Your wrath

doors are open

Tonight, G-d opens all the โ€œdoors,โ€ and youโ€™re free to leap toward unprecedented new heights.

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. Pour out Your indignation upon them, and let the wrath of Your anger overtake them. Pursue them with anger, and destroy them from beneath the heavens of GOD.

โ€œDuring the Seder, one must think about becoming a mensch and God will help. This is especially true when opening the door for Elijah. Donโ€™t pray for material things, pray for spiritual things.โ€

told to Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch by his father.

Not to us, GOD, not to us, but to Your Name give glory, for the sake of Your kindness and Your truth. Why should the nations say, โ€œWhere, now, is their God?โ€ Our God is in heaven, He does whatever He pleases. 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 GOD! He is their help and their shield. House of Aaron, trust in GOD! He is their help and their shield. You who fear GOD, trust in GOD! He is their help and their shield.

GOD, mindful of us, will bless. He will bless the House of Israel; He will bless the House of Aaron; He will bless those who fear GOD, the small with the great. May GOD increase [blessing] upon you, upon you and upon your children. You are blessed unto GOD, the Maker of heaven and earth. The heavens are the heavens of GOD, but the earth He gave to the children of man. The dead do not praise God, nor do those that go down into the silence [of the grave]. But we will bless God, from now to eternity. Halleluyahโ€”Praise God!

I love GOD, 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 upon the Name of GOD: โ€œPlease, GOD, deliver my soul!โ€ GOD is gracious and just; our God is compassionate. GOD watches over the simpletons; I was brought low and He saved me. Return, my soul, to your rest, for GOD 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 GOD in the lands of the living. I had faith even when I said, โ€œI am greatly afflictedโ€; [even when] I said in my haste, โ€œAll men are deceitful.โ€

What can I repay GOD for all His kindness to me? I will raise the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of GOD. I will pay my vows to GOD, now, in the presence of all His people. Precious in the eyes of GOD is the death of His pious ones. I thank you, GOD, 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 GOD. I will pay my vows to GOD, now, in the presence of all His people, in the courtyards of the House of GOD, in the midst of Jerusalem. Halleluyahโ€”Praise God!

Praise GOD, all nations! Extol Him, all peoples! For His kindness was mighty over us, and the truth of GOD is everlasting. Halleluyahโ€”Praise God!

Give thanks to GOD, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.

Let Israel say [it], for His kindness is everlasting.

Let the House of Aaron say [it], for His kindness is everlasting.

Let those who fear GOD say [it], for His kindness is everlasting.

Out of narrow confines I called to God; God answered me with abounding relief. GOD is with me, I will not fearโ€”what can man do to me? GOD is with me, through my helpers, and I can face my enemies. It is better to rely on GOD, than to trust in man. It is better to rely on GOD, than to trust in nobles. All nations surround me, but I cut them down in the Name of GOD. They surrounded me, they encompassed me, but I cut them down in the Name of GOD. They surrounded me like bees, yet they are extinguished like a fire of thorns; I cut them down in the Name of GOD. You [my foes] pushed me again and again to fall, but GOD 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: โ€œThe right hand of GOD performs deeds of valor. The right hand of GOD is exalted; the right hand of GOD performs deeds of valor!โ€ 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. Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them and give thanks to God. This is the gate of GOD, the righteous will enter it. I thank You, for You have answered me, and You have been a help to me. I thank You, for You have answered me, and You have been a help to me. The stone scorned by the builders has become the main cornerstone. The stone scorned by the builders has become the main cornerstone. This was indeed from GOD; it is wondrous in our eyes. This was indeed from GOD; it is wondrous in our eyes. This day GOD has made; let us be glad and rejoice on it. This day GOD has made; let us be glad and rejoice on it.

We implore You, GOD, deliver us now.

We implore You, GOD, deliver us now.

For it is good to thank You, and befitting to sing to Your Name, for from the beginning to the end of the world You are Almighty God.

Give thanks to GOD, 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 firstborn, 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; Who split the Sea of Reeds into

sections, for His kindness is everlasting; And led Israel through it, for His kindness is everlasting; And cast Pharaoh and his army into the Sea of Reeds, for His kindness is everlasting; Who led His people through the desert, for His kindness is everlasting; Who struck great kings, for His kindness is everlasting; And slew mighty kings, for His kindness is everlasting; Sichon, king of the Amorites, for His kindness is everlasting; And Og, king of Bashan, for His kindness is everlasting; And gave their land as a heritage, for His kindness is everlasting; A heritage to Israel, His servant, for His kindness is everlasting; Who remembered us in our lowliness, for His kindness is everlasting; And delivered us from our oppressors, for His kindness is everlasting; Who gives food to all flesh, for His kindness is everlasting; Thank the God of heaven, for His kindness is everlasting;

The soul of every living being shall bless Your Name, GOD, 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, GOD neither slumbers nor sleeps. He arouses the sleepers and awakens the slumberers, 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 were shining like the sun and the moon, and our hands spread out like the eagles of heaven, and our feet swift like deerโ€” we would still be unable to thank You, GOD, 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. GOD, 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, GOD 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 mouthโ€”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 bow down before You, all hearts shall fear You, and every innermost part shall sing praise to Your Name, as it is written: โ€œAll my bones will say, GOD, who is like You; You save the poor from one stronger than he, the poor and the needy from one who would rob him!โ€ 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: โ€œ[A Psalm] by David; bless GOD, O my soul, and all that is within me, [bless] His holy Name.โ€

You are the Almighty God in the power of Your strength; the Great in the glory of Your Name; the Mighty forever, and the Awesome in Your awesome deeds; the King who sits upon a lofty and exalted throne.

He who dwells for eternity, lofty and holy is His Name. And it is written: โ€œSing joyously to GOD, you righteous; it befits the upright to offer praise.โ€ By the mouth of the upright You are exalted; by the lips of the righteous You are blessed; by the tongue of the pious You are sanctified; and among the holy ones You are praised.

In the assemblies of the myriads of Your people, the House of Israel, Your Name, our King, shall be glorified with song in every generation. For such is the obligation of all creatures before You, GOD, our God and God of our fathers, to thank, to laud, to praise, to glorify, to exalt, to adore, to bless, to elevate and to honor You, even beyond all the words of songs and praises of David son of Yishai, Your anointed servant.

And therefore may Your Name be praised forever, our King, the great and holy God and King in heaven and on earth. For to You, GOD, our God and God of our fathers, forever befits song and praise, laud and hymn, strength and dominion, victory, greatness and might, glory, splendor, holiness and sovereignty; blessings and thanksgivings to Your great and holy Name; from the beginning to the end of the world You are Almighty God. Blessed are You, GOD, Almighty God, King, great and extolled in praises, God of thanksgivings, Lord of wonders, Creator of all souls, Master of all creatures, who takes pleasure in songs of praise; the only King, the Life of all worlds.

Blessed are You, GOD our God, King of the universe, for the vine and the fruit of the vine, for the produce of the field, and for the precious, good and spacious land which You have favored to give as a heritage to our fathers, to eat of its fruit and be satiated by its goodness. Have mercy, GOD our God, on Israel Your people, on Jerusalem Your city, on Zion the abode of Your glory, on Your altar and on Your Temple. Rebuild Jerusalem, the holy city, speedily in our days, and bring us up into it, and make us rejoice in it, and we will bless You in holiness and purity. (May it please You to strengthen us on this Shabbat day.) And remember us for good on this day of the Festival of Matzot. For You, GOD, are good and do good to all, and we thank You for the land and for the fruit of the vine. Blessed are You, GOD, for the land and for the fruit of the vine.

your cup

Blessed are You, GOD, our God, King of the universe, Who created numerous living beings and their needs, for all the things You have created with which to sustain the soul of every living being. Blessed is He who is the Life of all worlds.

The Seder's first three cups praise God alone for His deliverance, salvation, and redemption. The fourth cup is different as it celebrates us as we become His nation. In the fourth cup, you become a partner in the Exodus, God opens all the doors, and in the end, it's you who enters into the Divine embrace. by next year, we'll already be in Jerusalem!

The wine in the โ€œcup of Elijahโ€ is poured back into the bottle.

After the Seder, the Chabad custom is not to recite "The order of Pesach is concluded" because the Seder experience of liberation from our personal Egypt never ends.
