H Introduction

P

esach is known as the holiday of freedom, the season of liberation. We were a nation enslaved, beaten by the whips of Pharaoh’s taskmasters. Moses arrived with G-d’s promise to take us to a new land. Plagues ensued. Then, finally, we were a nation freed. But Pesach is about much more than that.

Have you ever noticed how unusual the Haggadah really is?

Facts are presented as rhymes. Stories are songs. History becomes a dance of questions, answers, more questions. We break matzah, spill wine, dip foods.

This isn’t a mere manual or holiday how-to at all. It’s a children’s book.

“And you shall tell your child on this day,” the Torah instructs us. The story of the Exodus must be passed on to them and the Haggadah helps us do just that. It brings to vivid life our storied past, inspires curiosity and awe at our nation’s origins, and helps our children understand who we are as a people and what we are working to achieve.

But why the fanfare?

When G-d gave us the Torah at Sinai, a guarantor was required to assure Him that our devotion to His gift would not fade throughout the generations to come. But, despite their greatness, the myriads of Torah scholars, sages and prophets to have walked this earth were rejected as underwriters of the faith.

It’s the children, G-d said, who will be the true guarantors. They alone can ensure that the Jewish People continue to exist. And so, the seder is for them.

The seder is not a memorial to events of a distant past. It is the dynamic experience of transmitting our rich heritage to future generations and imparting the great privilege and responsibility that comes along with it.

Pesach is an opportunity to inspire ourselves and others, and an occasion to recommit to our unique mission of making the world a G-dly place.

C-central is honored to be part of this, by partnering with Tzivos Hashem to bring you the Special Tnuva Edition of the Weiss Haggadah.

With wishes for a kosher and joyous Pesach.

Features of This Haggadah EXPLANATORY TRANSLATION: Along with the loose translation in bold type, the basic meaning of the text is explained in regular type, so you can know both the translation of the words as well as what they mean in context.

HEBREW TEXT: Much of the Haggadah discusses verses in reference to the exile and redemption from Egypt. The Haggadah will often bring a verse, and then discuss the meaning of certain words or phrases in it. To help follow the meaning, the verse is in bold, purple type, and where parts of a verse are repeated and explained, they appear in regular purple type and have quotation marks.

For example, the Haggadah quotes a verse: .‫ וַ יְ ִהי ׁ ָשם לְ גוֹ י ָ ּגדוֹ ל ָעצוּם וָ ָרב‬,‫ וַ ֵ ּי ֶֽרד ִמ ְצ ַ ֽריְ ָמה וַ ָ ּיֽגָ ר ׁ ָשם ִ ּב ְמ ֵתי ְמ ָעט‬,‫ֲא ַר ִּמי א ֵֹבד ָא ִבי‬ After quoting the verse, the Haggadah explains six parts of the verse, beginning with: ‫” ָאנוּס ַעל ּ ִפי ַהדִּ בּ וּר‬,‫“וַ ֵ ּי ֶרד ִמ ְצ ַריְ ָמה‬ TIDBITS: The selected insights included in this Haggadah are

‫ֵס ֶדר ְּב ִד ַיקת ָח ֵמץ‬ SEARCHING FOR CHAMETZ • The custom is to put ten pieces of hard bread around the home some time before the search so that the one who searches will find them.

The bread should be well wrapped so no chametz is left behind.

• The search should be performed with a candle, and one wmust search even in hidden places and in cracks in the floor.

• The custom is to use a wooden spoon, a feather, a beeswax candle, and a paper bag for the search.

• The search should begin after nightfall.

• One is not to speak between the blessing and the beginning of the search, even about things relevant

to the search itself. During the search one should not speak about anything that is not relevant to the search.

Search for Chametz

7

• Any adult males may help in the search. Those helping should stand near the head of the household to hear the blessing and respond amen. Each of them then searches one section of the home.

• Everyone helping should begin the search in the room nearest to the place where the blessing was said and then continue to search other parts of the house.

Before starting the search, hold the lit candle and say the following blessing:

,‫ ֲא ׁ ֶשר ִק ְדּ ׁ ָ ֽשנ ּו ְ ּב ִמ ְצוֹ ָתיו‬,‫ָ ּברו ְּך ַא ָּתה יְ יָ ֱאל ֵ ֹֽהינ ּו ֶ ֽמלֶ ְך ָהעוֹ לָ ם‬ .‫וְ ִצ ָ ּוֽנ ּו ַעל ִ ּבעוּר ָח ֵמץ‬

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who made us holy with His mitzvot and commanded us regarding the removal of chametz.

After the search, wrap the paper bag, candle, feather, and spoon in a paper. Tie it well, with the spoon handle sticking out. Then say the following (in a language that you understand) to nullify any chametz that was not found:

‫ ְדּ לָ א ֲח ִמ ֵית ּיה ו ְּדלָ א‬,‫ָּכל ֲ ח ִמ ָירא וַ ֲח ִמ ָיעא ְדּ ִא ָּכא ִב ְר ׁשו ִּתי‬ ‫ לִ ָ ּב ֵטל וְ לֶ ֱהוֵ י ֶה ְפ ֵקר ְּכ ַע ְפ ָרא‬,‫ִב ַע ְר ֵּת ּיה ו ְּדלָ א יְ ַ ֽד ְענָ א לֵ ּיה‬ .‫ְד ַא ְר ָעא‬ ‫ָּכל‬

All chametz and anything that contains chametz that is in my

possession, which I did not see, remove, or know about, should be nullified and ownerless like the dust of the earth.

Take care that the bag of chametz, as well as any chametz that will be eaten in the morning, is kept safely out of the reach of children or animals who may scatter it about.

Burning the Chametz

‫ִּביעּור ָח ֵמץ‬ BURNING THE CHAMETZ On the fourteenth of Nissan, burn the ten pieces from the search, as well as and any other remaining chametz in the “fifth” hour of the day (check your local Jewish calendar for exact times).

Say the following (in a language that you understand) to nullify any remaining chametz:

,‫ ַדּ ֲחזִ ֵית ּיה ו ְּדלָ א ֲחזִ ֵית ּיה‬,‫ָּכל ֲח ִמ ָירא וַ ֲח ִמ ָיעא ְדּ ִא ָּכא ִב ְר ׁשו ִּתי‬ ,‫ ְדּ ִב ַע ְר ֵּת ּיה ו ְּדלָ א ִב ַע ְר ֵּת ּיה‬,‫ַדּ ֲח ִמ ֵית ּיה ו ְּדלָ א ֲח ִמ ֵית ּיה‬ .‫לִ ָ ּב ֵטל וְ לֶ ֱהוֵ י ֶה ְפ ֵקר ְּכ ַע ְפ ָרא ְד ַא ְר ָעא‬ ‫ָּכל‬

All chametz and anything that contains chametz that is in my

possession, whether I saw it during bedikas chametz or not, whether I have ever noticed it or not, whether I removed it or not, should be nullified and ownerless like the dust of the earth.

Then say the following prayer:

‫ְי ִהי‬

ָ ֶ‫ָרצוֹ ן ִמ ְּל ָפנ‬ ‫ ְּכ ׁ ֵשם ׁ ֶש ֲאנִ י ְמ ַב ֵער ָח ֵמץ‬,ּ‫ֽיך יְ יָ ֱאל ֵ ֹֽהינ ּו וֵ אל ֵֹהי ֲאבוֹ ֵ ֽתינו‬ ‫ וְ ֶאת ֽרו ַּח ַה ֻּט ְמ ָאה‬,‫ ַּכ ְך ְּת ַב ֵער ֶאת ָּכל ַה ִחיצוֹ נִ ים‬,‫ִמ ֵ ּב ִיתי ו ֵּמ ְר ׁשו ִּתי‬ ‫ וְ ִת ֵּתן לָ ֽנ ּו לֵ ב ָ ּב ָשׂ ר‬,ּ‫ וְ ֶאת יִ ְצ ֵ ֽרנ ּו ָה ַרע ַּת ֲע ִב ֵ ֽירה ּו ֵמ ִא ָּ ֽתנו‬,‫ַּת ֲע ִביר ִמן ָה ָ ֽא ֶרץ‬ ,‫ וְ כָ ל ִס ְט ָרא ָא ֳח ָרא וְ כָ ל ַה ְּקלִ ּפוֹ ת וְ כָ ל ָה ִר ׁ ְש ָעה ֶ ּב ָע ׁ ָשן ִּתכְ לֶ ה‬,‫לְ ָע ְב ְדּ ָך ֶ ּב ֱא ֶמת‬ ‫יקים לַ ׁ ּ ְשכִ ינָ ה ְּת ַב ֲע ֵרם ְ ּב ֽרו ַּח‬ ִ ‫ וְ כָ ל ַה ְּמ ִע‬,‫וְ ַת ֲע ִביר ֶמ ְמ ׁ ֶ ֽשלֶ ת זָ דוֹ ן ִמן ָה ָ ֽא ֶרץ‬ ‫ָ ּב ֵער ו ְּב ֽרו ַּח ִמ ׁ ְש ּ ָפט ְּכ ׁ ֵשם ׁ ֶש ִ ּב ַ ֽע ְר ָּת ֶאת ִמ ְצ ַ ֽריִ ם וְ ֶאת ֱאל ֵֹה ֶיהם ַ ּב ָ ּי ִמים ָה ֵהם‬ .‫ ָא ֵמן ֶ ֽסלָ ה‬,‫ִ ּבזְ ַמן ַה ֶ ּזה‬ ‫יְ ִהי‬

May it be Your will, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, that

just as I am destroying chametz from my house and from my possession, so too should You destroy all the outside forces that oppose holiness, remove the spirit of impurity from the world, remove the evil inclination from us, and give us a heart of flesh (that feels holiness, not like a heart of stone that feels nothing) to serve You truthfully. Destroy all evil, all the unholy forces, and all the wickedness in smoke.

Remove the rule of evil from the land. Destroy all those who oppose God’s Presence with a spirit of destruction and justice, just as You destroyed the Egyptians and their gods in those days, at this time. Amen, selah.

Pesach Offering

10

THE ORDER OF THE PESACH OFFERING ‫ ָק ְר ַ ּבן‬The Pesach offering is brought from male lambs or goats which are less than a year old, and can be slaughtered anywhere in the Temple Courtyard after midday of the fourteenth of Nissan (the day before Pesach). It must be done 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 he still has chametz in his possession. If he slaughtered the Pesach offering before the Daily Afternoon offering, the Pesach offering is still kosher, as long as someone stirs the blood of the Pesach offering so that it will remain liquid and not harden by the time the blood of the Daily offering is poured on the Altar.

After pouring the blood of the Daily offering, the blood of the Pesach offering is poured once toward the base of the Altar.

How is the Pesach offering performed?

The Kohanim would form lines across the Temple Courtyard between each slaughtering station and the Altar, and they would hold vessels with which to pass the blood down the line. The slaughterer would then slaughter the offering, and the Kohen standing at the head of the line would catch the blood in his vessel and pass it to his friend. His friend would then pass the vessel full of blood to his friend next in line, and so on, until the vessel would reach the Kohen standing closest to the Altar, who would pour it once toward the base of the Altar. He would pass the empty vessel back to his friend, who would pass it on to his friend until it was returned to the head of the line. If a Kohen was holding an empty vessel heading back up the line to be reused, and the Kohen ahead of him wanted to pass him a full vessel to be passed down the line and poured on the Altar, he would first take the full vessel from his friend and only then pass him the empty vessel. This procedure follows the rule that one may not "pass by" and delay an available mitzvah. To beautify the occasion, all the vessels in each line were of the same material; there were lines in which all of the Kohanim held silver vessels and lines in which all of the Kohanim held gold vessels. The vessels did not have flat bottoms in case the Kohanim would put them down and forget about them, causing the blood to thicken. If this happened, the blood would be unfit to pour on the Altar.

Afterwards, the Pesach offering would be hung on iron hooks, and the Kohanim would remove all the skin and tear it open. They would clean out the insides until the waste was removed, and then they would take out the parts of the offering which were going to be offered on the Altar. These parts are: The fat that is on the intestines, a lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the tail up to the backbone above the kidneys. The parts would be placed in a bowl which was used especially for the service in the Holy Temple. The Kohen would salt each individual part and burn it on the Altar.

Slaughtering the Pesach offering, pouring the blood on the Altar, cleaning the animal’s insides, and burning its fat on the Altar, all push aside the prohibition of “work” on Shabbat. However, everything else connected to the Pesach offering, such as roasting it and rinsing the intestines, does not push aside the prohibition of “work” on Shabbat. Also, if the fourteenth of Nissan falls out on Shabbat, the Pesach offerings are not allowed to be carried home. Rather, the first group of people (see next paragraph) leaves the Temple Courtyard and waits with their Pesach

Pesach Offering

11

This is a short summary of the Passover offering. A God-fearing person should read it in its proper time, so that it be considered in the place of the offering. One should be troubled over the destruction of the Holy Temple, and plead before God—Creator of the world—that He rebuild it speedily in our days, Amen.

‫ילין‬ ִ ‫ֵס ֶדר ֵעירּוב ַּת ְב ִׁש‬ ·· On a festival, one may only cook food that is to be eaten on that day.

Therefore, when the first two days of Pesach occur on Thursday and Friday, one would not be allowed to cook on Friday to prepare for Shabbat. ·· To permit cooking on Friday for Shabbat, one must make an “eruv tavshilin” before the festival begins. ·· To make an eruv tavshilin, take a matzah and a substantial cooked food (such as meat, fish, or an egg)

that is designated for Shabbat and say the blessing and statement below. ·· Although each household should have its own eruv, one who forgot to make one can rely on the Rabbi’s eruv, which is done on behalf of the entire community. ·· One should ideally appoint an adult male as an agent through whom to give a share in the eruv to the rest of the community. If there is no agent, skip the boxed section below:

Give the eruv food items to the “agent” and say:

.‫ְמזַ ֶּכה לְ כָ ל ִמי ׁ ֶשרוֹ ֶצה לִ זְ ּכוֹ ת וְ לִ ְסמוֹ ְך ַעל ֵערוּב זֶ ה‬

‫ֲא ִני‬

The “agent” raises them slightly (approximately 3 inches) and returns them to the one making the eruv.

Say the following while holding the eruv food items:

,‫ ֲא ׁ ֶשר ִק ְדּ ׁ ָ ֽשנ ּו ְ ּב ִמ ְצוֹ ָתיו‬,‫ ֱאל ֵ ֹֽהינ ּו ֶ ֽמלֶ ְך ָהעוֹ לָ ם‬,ָ‫ַא ָּתה יְ י‬ .‫וְ ִצ ָ ּוֽנ ּו ַעל ִמ ְצוַ ת ֵערוּב‬

‫ָ ּברו ְּך‬

Continue with the following in a language that you understand:

‫ יְ ֵהא ׁ ָ ֽש ָרא לָ ֽנָ א לַ ֲאפ ּויֵ י ּולְ ַב ׁ ּש ּולֵ י ּולְ ַא ְטמ ּונֵ י ּולְ ַא ְדלו ֵּקי ׁ ְש ַר ָ ּגא‬ ‫ לָ ֽנָ א ּולְ כָ ל‬,‫ּולְ ַת ָּקנָ א ּולְ ֶמ ֱע ַבד ָּכל ָצ ְרכָ ֽנָ א ִמ ּיוֹ ָמא ָט ָבא לְ ׁ ַש ַ ּב ָּתא‬ .‫יִ ְשׂ ָר ֵאל ַה ָדּ ִרים ָ ּב ִעיר ַה ּזֹאת‬

‫ְ ּב ֵדין‬

Save the eruv food items at least until after completing any preparations for Shabbat that are only permitted due to the eruv. Ideally, however, one should use the matzah of the eruv as one of the two required matzot for the meals of Friday night and Shabbat day, and then eat it with the third Shabbat meal.

Pesach Offering

12 offerings on the Temple Mount, the second group sits and waits with their Pesach offerings in the area just outside the Temple Courtyard called the “Cheil,” and the third group stays where it is - in the Temple Courtyard. When it becomes dark and Shabbat ends, they all go to their homes and roast their Pesach offerings.

The Pesach offering would be slaughtered in three groups, each group consisting of no less than thirty men. The first group would enter, fill up the Temple Courtyard, and then the Kohanim would close the doors to the Temple Courtyard.

While the Kohanim were busy slaughtering the Pesach offering and offering its parts on the Altar, the Levi'im would say Hallel. If the Levi'im finished saying the entire Hallel before the Kohanim finished offering all the offerings, they would repeat Hallel a second time. If the Kohanim had not finished the service by the time the Levi'im finished repeating Hallel a second time, they would repeat it a third time. Each time Hallel was said, the Kohanim would blow the following three sounds with the trumpets: tekiah, teruah and tekiah.

When the Kohanim finished offering the sacrifices, they would open the doors to the Temple Courtyard and the first group would leave; whereupon, the second group would enter, and they would close the doors to the Temple Courtyard again. When the Kohanim finished offering the sacrifices of the second group, they would open the doors, the second group would leave, and the third group would enter. The procedure of each group was the same.

After all the groups had left, the Kohanim would wash the floor of the Temple Courtyard because it had become filthy from the blood of the offerings, even if it was Shabbat. How was the washing of the Temple Courtyard done? There was a water channel that ran through the Temple Courtyard, which would flow out through an exit at the Water Gate. When they wanted to wash the floor of the Temple Courtyard, they would block the exit, causing the water level to rise and fill the channel to its brim on both sides, until it would overflow and flood the floor on both sides of the channel. The water would gather all the blood and dirt on the floor of the Temple Courtyard into the channel. They would then open the exit, and all the blood and dirt would flow out of the Temple Courtyard along with the water, until the floor was completely clean and smooth. This cleaning is done to honor the Holy Temple.

If the animal brought for the Pesach offering was found to have been deathly ill before it was offered, the person bringing the offering would not have fulfilled his obligation until he brings another one.

ERUV TAVSHILIN ‫ ֲאנִ י‬I hereby give a share in this eruv to anyone who wants to participate and depend on it.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who has made

us holy with His mitzvot and commanded us through the Sages regarding the mitzvah of making an eruv.

‫ ְ ּב ֵדין‬With this eruv it will be permitted for us to bake, to cook, to put

away food in a place that will keep it warm, to light a candle, and to prepare and to do anything on the Festival that is necessary for Shabbat.

These things will be permitted for us—the people who are making this eruv—and for all Jews who live in this city.

Candle Lighting

13

‫ֵס ֶדר ַה ְד ָל ַקת ַהנֵ רֹות‬ CANDLE LIGHTING ·· Women and girls from the age of three should light their own candle. Married women should light two candles and customarily add an additional candle for each of their children. If there are no women, a man should light the candles. ·· When lighting the festival candles before the start of the festival, it is customary to give charity prior to the lighting. ·· When the first night of Pesach follows a weekday, the candles should be lit at least eighteen minutes before sunset. Check your local Jewish calendar for the exact times.

·· If one did not light before sunset: ·· On the eve preceding a weekday, the candles should still be lit, but from a preexisting flame; on Friday night - the candles may not be lit. ·· On the second night of Pesach, or when the first night occurs on Saturday night, the candles are lit after nightfall, and from a pre-existing flame. ·· After lighting the candles, wave your hands three times around them, then cover your eyes and say the appropriate blessing.

On Friday evening, add the orange words.

‫ ֲא ׁ ֶשר‬,‫ ֱאל ֵ ֹֽהינ ּו ֶ ֽמ ֶל ְך ָהעוֹ ָלם‬,‫ָ ּברו ְּך ַ א ָּתה ְי ָי‬ ‫ ְו ִצ ָ ּ ֽונ ּו ְל ַה ְד ִליק ֵנר‬,‫ִק ְדּ ׁ ָ ֽשנ ּו ְ ּב ִמ ְצוֹ ָתיו‬ .‫ׁ ֶשל ׁ ַ(ש ָ ּבת וְ ׁ ֶשל) יוֹ ם טוֹ ב‬

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who made us holy with His mitzvot, and commanded us through the Sages to kindle the light of (Shabbat and) the festival.

Friday Night

‫ ֵ ֽא ׁ ֶשת‬Who can find a wife of excellence; a wife who has all the following

qualities? Her value is far greater than the most precious jewels. When her husband is away, his heart trusts in her. He trusts that she will take care of everything. Since he has nothing to worry about, he can do his work, and he will not miss out on any business gains. All the days of her life, she treats him well; she does good things for him, and never bad things. She goes out to search for wool and flax to sew clothing, and she does it willingly, with her own hands. She is like the ships that carry merchandise from far away, because she brings her food from far away. She gets up while it is still nighttime, before the sun rises, and gives food to her household and divides jobs for her maids. She considers buying a field because of its great value, and then buys it without delay. From the earnings which she receives for the work of her hands, she plants a vineyard. She puts on her clothing with strength, and flexes her arms for work. When she realizes that her work is good and she can benefit from it, she will stay up all night to work; her candle will not go out all night. She puts her hands on a spindle (a tool which spins wool into a thread) and her palms hold onto a distaff (a tool which holds wool in place while it is being spun). With these tools she makes clothing for her household.

She holds out her hand and gives money to the poor, and extends her hands to give money to poor people who are too embarrassed to ask for it. She is not afraid that her household will be cold from snow in the winter, because her entire household is wearing warm, colored clothing. She makes herself

beautiful material; she wears beautiful clothing made of fine linen and purple wool. Since she makes beautiful clothing for her household, her husband is well-known among the important people who gather at the gates; when he sits with the elders of the land, they know who he is. She also makes bedlinens for others and sells them; she supplies belts to merchants. She wears beautiful and strong clothing that last a long time and she is certain that she will be happy in her last days, when she becomes old. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and lessons of kindness are always on her tongue. She watches the conduct of her household; she makes sure that her family is following the path of Torah. She does not take a long time to eat her bread; she is not lazy. Her children get up and praise her. Her husband praises her with the following praise: There are many daughters who have done excellent things, but you are far better than all of them. Charm is misleading, and beauty is nothing to be praised for, but a woman who fears God is worthy of being praised. The father tells his children to give praise to their mother for her accomplishments. The important people who sit at the gates will praise her for everything she has done.

‫ ִמזְ מוֹ ר‬The following song was composed by King David: God is my shepherd Who takes care of me. I am sure that I will not lack anything. He lies me down in comfortable green grass, just like a shepherd with his sheep, and He leads me peacefully, as if I am walking along calm waters. He always refreshes my soul. He directs me along the path of righteousness in order to bring honor to His name. Even when I walk in a dangerous place, like the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid that bad things will happen because You are with me. Your help and kindness are like a walking stick and support staff which protect me and comfort me. God will set up a table for me in continued on facing page >>

17 The Haggadah

‫ֵס ֶדר ַה ָּג ָדה‬

The three matzot and the Seder Plate are arranged in the following manner: The three matzot are placed on a tray or plate, with a separation (such as a napkin) between each matzah. Place the bottom (“Yisrael”) matzah first, then the middle (“Levi”) matzah, and then the top (“Kohen”) matzah.

The items of the Seder Plate are placed upon the top cover of the matzot in the following manner:

1

The zero’a—A roasted bird’s-neck-bone (which has customarily had most of the meat removed)—is placed on the upper right side.

4

The charoset—a mixture of apples, nuts, and pears—is placed on the lower right side, under the zero’a. (Wine is added before using it with the marror.)

2

5

3

6

T he beitzah—a hardboiled egg—is placed on the upper left side.

T he marror—bitter herbs (customarily romaine lettuce and horseradish)—is placed in the center of the Seder Plate.

Q Why do we use three matzos on our Seder Plate?

A When Abraham was visited by the angels, he asked Sarah to bake matzot from three measures of flour.

This happened on Pesach.

In addition, the matzot are a reminder of the three forefathers; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Chabad House Haggadah MAIN.indd 17

The karpas—raw onion or boiled potato—is placed on the lower left side, under the egg.

T he chazeret—bitter herbs (customarily romaine lettuce and horseradish)—is placed in the lower-center, under the marror.

Charoset commemorates the cement with which the Jewish people worked in Egypt.

It is made with fruits to which the Torah compares the Jewish people, and red liquid (wine) is added, to commemorate the plague of Blood.

Q Why do we have an egg and a

roasted bone on the Seder Plate?

Q Why is it called the “Haggadah?”

A The Talmud says that there must be two cooked foods on the Seder Plate as a reminder of the two special offerings brought for Pesach: the Chagigah offerings and the Pesach offering.

A Some say that the name “Haggadah” comes from the words “‫“ — ”וְ ִהגַ ְד ָּת לְ ִבנְ ָך‬and you shall tell your son,” found in the verse commanding us to tell the story of the exodus from Egypt.

A roasted bone is used to commemorate the Pesach offering, and a hardboiled egg— which symbolizes mourning—is used nowadays to commemorate the Chagigah offerings and to remind us of the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Others say that it means praise and thanks—as in the verse ‫ ִהגַ ְד ִּתי ַהיוֹ ם‬, said when bringing the “first fruit” to Jerusalem, in which one thanks God for the produce He has given—because in the Haggadah we thank God for taking us out of Egypt.

20 Prepare the meal of God, the exalted King. This is the meal of God and His Presence.

‫ יוֹ ם‬It was the sixth day of the creation of the world. The heaven and the earth

and all of their many creations were completed. By the seventh day, God finished His work of creating the world, which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work, which He had done. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on that day He rested from all His work - the world that God created to continuously function.

Attention, gentlemen. Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who creates the fruit of the vine.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who chose us at Mount Sinai from all the other nations. He raised us above all those nations— each one with its language— and made us holy by giving us His mitzvot. You, Lord, our God, gave us, with love, (days of Shabbat for rest and) special times for happiness, festivals and festive times for rejoicing, including this day of (Shabbat and this day of) the festival of Pesach and this festival of holy gathering, when we come together to pray to God and praise Him, the time of our freedom. You gave us this day with love. This is a day of holy gathering, when we come together to pray to God and praise Him; a reminder of the exodus from Egypt. For You chose us and You made us holy and distinguished from among all the other nations of the world, and You have given us, (with love and good will,) with joy and happiness, Your holy (Shabbat) and festivals as an everlasting heritage. Blessed are You, Lord, Who makes (the day of Shabbat,) the nation of Israel and the festive times holy.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who has given us life, kept us alive, and enabled us to reach this special time.

Q Why do we drink specifically four cups of wine?

A There are many things the number four represents, including:

1. The four terms of redemption that God used to describe how He would end the exile in Egypt: ‫אתי וְ ִה ַצלְ ִּתי וְ גָ ַאלְ ִּתי וְ לָ ַק ְח ִּתי‬ ִ ‫וְ הוֹ ֵצ‬. - “And I will take you out;” “And I will save you;” “And I will redeem you;” “And I will take you to Me.” 2. These four terms corresponded to the four decrees which Pharaoh made against the Jews: they must work for the Egyptians; midwives must kill all newborn Jewish males; all newborn Jewish males must be thrown into the Nile; the Jews must find the necessary straw to build bricks themselves.

3. The four letters which make up God’s name, ‫ ה‬- ‫ ו‬- ‫ ה‬- ‫י‬.

between what is holy and what is ordinary, between light and darkness, between the nation of Israel and the other nations, and between the seventh day—Shabbat—and the six work days of the week. You have separated between the holiness of Shabbat and the holiness of a festival, and You have made the seventh day holy above the six work days of the week. You have set apart and made holy Your nation, Israel, with Your holiness. Blessed are You, God, Who separates between the holiness of Shabbat and the holiness of the festivals.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who has given us life, kept us alive, and enabled us to reach this special time.

Q Why do we lean to the left?

A We lean to the left and not to the right because:

a. Most people use their right hand to eat, so leaning on the right side is impractical. b. Our windpipe is located on the left side of our throat, and the food pipe is on the right. Leaning to the right would mean that the food first passes the windpipe on its way to the food-pipe. This might cause the food to enter the windpipe, resulting in choking.

‫ְּור ַחץ‬ 22 Urchatz

Urchatz

Wash your hands in the following manner: ·· Pick up the cup of water in your right hand and pass it to your left hand.

·· Rub both hands together and then dry them.

·· Pour three times on your right hand, pass the cup back to your right (customarily holding the cup with a towel) hand and pour three times on your left hand, retaining a little water in the left hand.

·· The usual blessing over washing the hands is not said.

Q Why is the usual blessing for washing the hands not said after washing for urchatz?

A There is a minority opinion that it is not necessary to wash one’s hands before eating wet food. Although the halachic law does not follow that opinion, a blessing is not said because of the rule, ‫ ָס ֵפק ְ ּב ָרכוֹ ת לְ ָה ֵקל‬when there is a doubt (in this case, different opinions) concerning a blessing, it is not said.

Chabad House Haggadah MAIN.indd 22

Q Why do we wash our hands before karpas?

A Before touching wet food to eat it, a person should wash his hands. Even someone who doesn’t normally do this during the year should do so on Pesach, in order to arouse the children’s curiosity and lead them to ask questions.

Q Why is the Mah Nishtanah asked by a child?

Q Why do we move away the Seder plate at this point?

A The prophet Hose’a quotes God speaking about the time that He took us out of Egypt, and said: ‫ִּכי נַ ַער‬ ‫ יִ ְשׂ ָר ֶאל וָ א ֲֹה ֵבה ּו‬- “Israel was a child and I loved him.” By having a child ask the four questions, we awaken God’s fatherly love towards us.

A In order to make the children curious and cause them to ask, “We haven’t eaten yet, so why are they taking away the food?” This will cause them to ask other questions, which is an important part of the Seder.

‫ ַמה‬What makes this night different from all the other nights of the year?

1. On all other nights we do not need to dip our food even once. Why on this night do we dip twice—karpas into salt water, and marror into charoset?

2. On all other nights we may eat either chametz or matzah.

Why on this night do we eat only matzah?

3. On all other nights we eat any kind of vegetables. Why on this night do we eat marror?

4. On all other nights we eat either sitting upright or leaning.

Why on this night do we all eat leaning?

There are different customs regarding the order of the four questions. The order presented here follows the order of many early Talmudic sources and commentaries dating back over 2,000 years. This order is also found in the first printed Haggadah (in 1485).

Chabad House Haggadah MAIN.indd 26

Q What is the reason for the order of the four questions?

A We ask the questions in the order of how these things appear during the Seder.

• Dipping occurs first, so we ask about dipping first.

• Next is yachatz, breaking the matzah, so the next question is about matzah and chametz.

• Then we eat marror, so the third question is about marror.

• Even though we lean at the very beginning of the Seder when we drink the Kiddush wine, we ask this question last. This is because in ancient times, people would regularly lean while they ate, so there was nothing unusual about it. When people stopped doing this, and leaning on Pesach became unique, this question was added on to the end of Mah Nishtanah.

‫ עֲ ָב ִדים‬We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord, our God,

took us out from there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. If God had not taken our fathers out of Egypt, then the Egyptian empire would have remained powerful and we, our children and our children's children, would still be enslaved to a Pharaoh in Egypt.

Therefore, even if we are all wise, we are all understanding, and we all know the Torah, we still have the mitzvah to tell the story of the exodus from Egypt. Everyone who discusses the exodus from Egypt at length is praiseworthy.

‫ ַמעֲ ֶשׂ ה‬Everyone should discuss the exodus from Egypt at length, even

someone whose ancestors were not slaves in Egypt, such as a Kohen, Levi or a convert. We see this from the story of Rabbi Eliezer (a Levi), Rabbi Yehoshua (a Levi), Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah (a Kohen), Rabbi Akiva (a descendant of convert) and Rabbi Tarfon (a Kohen) who were gathered at a Seder in B’nei Brak and were discussing the exodus from Egypt at length, all that night, until, in the morning, their students came and told them: “Our masters! The time has come to recite the morning Shema!”

‫ ָא ַמר‬Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah said to them, “I am like a man of seventy

years old, because I am weak from learning day and night. Nevertheless, I did not succeed in proving that in addition to the obligation to mention the exodus from Egypt during the day, there is also an obligation to mention the exodus from Egypt during the night, until Ben Zoma explained it as follows: “The Torah says: ‘Eat the matzah and the Pesach offering so that you will remember the day you left Egypt throughout all the days of your life.’ “The words ‘the days of your life’ teach us that we must mention the exodus from Egypt during the daytime. The extra word ‘all (the days of your life)’ is written to include all times of the day — the nights as well as the days.” The Sages, however, explain the verse differently: “The words ‘the days of your life’ teach us that we must mention the exodus from Egypt these days, during exile. The extra word ‘all (the days of your life)’ teaches us that we will be mentioning the exodus from Egypt even after the coming of Mashiach.”

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed is God, Who is called “The Place” because He is in every

place; blessed be He. Blessed is God, Who gave the Torah to His nation, Israel; blessed be He. The Torah speaks of four sons: One is wise, one is wicked, one is simple, and one does not know how to ask.

Q Why do we refer to God as ‫ ַה ָמקוֹ ם‬- “The Place?”

A Since God is “larger” than the universe, God is like the “place” in which the universe exists.

Q The wise son seemingly also

excludes himself from the nation by asking “What are these mitzvot which God commanded you?” If so, how is he different than the wicked son?

A When the wise son says “you,” he does not mean that he is not part of it. Rather he is addressing his question to those who actually experienced the exodus from Egypt.

To show that he does not exclude himself, he says “ּ‫ ה' ֱאל ֵֹהינו‬- Lord our God.”

Q Why are the four sons listed in this particular order?

A They are listed in order of their intelligence:

The chacham comes first.

The rasha is mentioned second, because he, too, is smart, but uses his abilities for bad things.

The tam is mentioned before the she’aino yode’a lish’ol because he at least knows how to ask something.

‫ ָחכָ ם‬What does the wise one say?

“What are the eidos (mitzvot which are to commemorate something that happened), the chukim (mitzvot which have no reason that we can understand), and the mishpatim (logical mitzvot) which the Lord, our God, has commanded you?” When responding to his question, in addition to telling him the story of the exodus from Egypt, you should also teach him the rest of the laws of Pesach, up to the last law: One is not allowed to eat any dessert after eating of the Pesach offering so its taste will remain in his mouth.

‫ ָר ׁ ָשע‬What does the wicked one say?

“What is this service of yours?” He says “of yours,” and does not include himself. By excluding himself from the community and not considering himself involved with this mitzvah, he shows that he denies his obligation to fulfill God’s mitzvot, the most important part of living as a Jew. When responding to his question, in addition to telling him the story of the exodus from Egypt, you should also “blunt his teeth,” (speak harshly to him) and say to him as follows: The Torah says that a father should tell his son, “God performed miracles for me when I left Egypt, in order that I keep His mitzvot, such as these mitzvot of Pesach, eating matzah, and marror.” The Torah says “for me,” meaning the father, but does not include the wicked son. If the wicked son would have been there, he would not have been redeemed.

‫ ָּתם‬What does the simple one say?

“What is this celebration about?” When responding to his question, you should say to him: We are celebrating the fact that God took us out from Egypt, from the house of slaves, with a strong hand.

ֹ‫ וְ ׁ ֶש ֵאינו‬As for the son who does not know how to ask: You must open up the conversation for him, as it says in the Torah: You should tell your son on that first day of Pesach. Say to him: “God performed miracles for me when I left Egypt, in order that I keep His mitzvot, such as these mitzvot of Pesach, eating matzah, and marror.”

‫ יָ כוֹ ל‬One might think that the discussion of the exodus from Egypt must begin from the first of the month of Nissan, because that was when Moses gave the Jewish people instructions concerning the exodus from Egypt. Therefore, the Torah says, “You should tell your son about the exodus from Egypt on that day” (the day of the Pesach offering), in order to teach us that we begin when we bring the Pesach offering.

If the Torah would only say “on that day,” however, one might think that he should begin while it is still daytime on the day before Pesach, because the previous verse speaks about the Pesach offering, which was brought in the afternoon of the day before Pesach. To teach us otherwise, the Torah says that the father should tell his son, “It is because of these mitzvot—Pesach, eating matzah and marror—that God did miracles for me when I left Egypt.” You can only say “because of these mitzvot” on the night of Pesach itself when you have the obligation to eat matzah and marror.

ָּ ‫ ִמ ְּת ִח‬Originally, before Abraham, our ancestors served idols. But ‫ילה‬ now, God brought us close to His service, as it says in the book of Joshua: Joshua said to the entire nation, “This is what the Lord, the God of the nation of Israel, said, ‘Your ancestors—Terach, the father of Abraham and the father of Nachor—used to live on the other side of the Pras river, and they served other gods.

‫ וָ ֶא ַּקח‬But I took your father Abraham from across the river, and I led him throughout the whole land of Canaan. I increased his descendants and gave him his son Isaac, and to Isaac I gave two sons, Jacob and Esau. I gave Mount Sei’ir as an inheritance to Esau for him to live there, so as not be counted as part of Isaac’s descendants, about whom I promised to Abraham that they would be slaves in a strange land, and would later be redeemed and brought back to the land of Israel. Whereas Jacob and his sons did go down to Egypt, and are therefore considered Isaac’s descendants, the ones whom I will ‘bring back’ to the land of Israel.”

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed is God Who keeps His promise regarding the nation of Israel throughout the generations. Blessed be He, because God calculated the end of the exile in Egypt, in order to keep the promise and do as He had said to Abraham at the Covenant Between the Portions. As it says in the Torah: God said to Avram, “You should know that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where their masters will force them to be slaves and make them suffer for four hundred years. I will also judge and punish the nation whom they will serve, and afterwards they will leave with great wealth.”

‫ ֵצא‬Leave the story of the exodus from Egypt and learn how God saves

us in every generation, for example, how God saved us from what Laban the Aramean wanted to do to Jacob, our forefather.

Pharaoh only decreed to drown the male babies in the Nile River, but Laban wanted to ruin Jacob’s entire family, as it says in the Torah: Laban the Aramean wanted to destroy my forefather, Jacob, and his family after they ran away from him. Jacob then went down to Egypt and stayedover there with his family, who were few in number, and he became a nation there—great, mighty and numerous.

“He went down to Egypt.” - The only reason Jacob went down to Egypt was because he was forced by God’s decree to Abraham that his descendants will be strangers in a foreign land.

“And stayed-over there.” - These words teach us that Jacob our forefather did not go down to Egypt to settle, but only to live there temporarily. As it says in the Torah: Joseph’s brothers said to Pharaoh, “We have come to stay-over in the land until the hunger passes, because there is no pasture for your servants’ sheep in the land of Canaan since the famine is severe there. Now, please, let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”

“Few in number” As it says in the Torah: When your fathers went down to Egypt, they were seventy people, and now, the Lord, your God, has made you as many as the stars of the heavens.

“And he became a nation there” - This teaches us that the nation of Israel stood out in Egypt as a different nation because they did not change their names, language, religion, or style of clothing.

“Great, mighty” As it says in the Torah: the nation of Israel were fruitful because their babies did not die; they increased greatly because they had six children from one pregnancy; they multiplied and became very, very mighty, and the land became filled with them.’

“And numerous” As the prophet Ezekiel said in the name of God: I passed over you and saw you lying in your blood, and I said to you, “As much as they torture you and make you bleed that’s how much you will live and multiply,” and I said to you, “As much as they torture you and make you bleed that’s how much you will live and multiply.” And indeed, I caused you to flourish and multiply like the plants of the field, and you increased and grew and became very beautiful; your body matured, your hair grew long, and you became a strong nation. The time came to redeem you, but you were naked and bare of any mitzvot.

The Torah continues in the following verse:

The Egyptians treated us badly, they made us suffer, and they made us do hard work.

“The Egyptians treated us badly” - Not only did they make them suffer but they made a point of looking for ways to harm the Jewish people.

As it says in the Torah: Pharaoh said to the Egyptians, “Come, let us deal with the Jewish people in a sly way so that they will not multiply.

Because if a war were to break out, they would join our enemies, fight against us and conquer us, and then leave the land.”

38 “They made us suffer” - As it says in the Torah: The Egyptians appointed supervisors over the Jewish people to make them suffer by making them do the hard work the Egyptians needed, and they built storage houses for Pharaoh, called Pitom and Ra’amses.

“And they made us do hard work” - As it says in the Torah: The Egyptians made the nation of Israel do backbreaking work. They made their lives bitter with hard work - by making them work with mortar and bricks and all kinds of work in the fields. All the work that the Egyptians made them do was crushingly hard.

The Torah continues in the following verse: We cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and God heard our voice and saw our suffering, our labor, and our pressure.

“We cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers” - As it says in the Torah: During the long period that Moses lived in Midyan, the king of Egypt died. The nation of Israel groaned from the hard work, and they cried out. Their cries, caused by the hard work, went up to God. “And God heard our voice” - As it says in the Torah: God heard the Jewish people’s groaning, and God remembered the promise He made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would bring the Jewish people to the land of Israel.

“And saw our suffering” - “Our suffering” refers to Pharaoh’s decree to separate the Jewish husbands and wives so they wouldn’t be able to have normal family life. God saw the Jewish people’s suffering, as it says in the Torah: God saw the nation of Israel, and God took their cries to heart.

“Our hard work” - This refers to the children who are referred to in Torah as a man’s strength. Pharaoh issued a decree against the children. As it says in the Torah: Pharaoh said, “Throw every newborn boy into the Nile river, and keep every girl alive.”

“And our pressure” - This refers to the pressure that the Egyptians applied to the Jewish people, allowing them no rest. God saw the pressure, as it says in the Torah: God said, “I have also seen the pressure with which the Egyptians are pressuring them.”

40 The Torah continues in the following verse:

God took us out of Egypt with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, with a great display, with signs and with wonders.

“God took us out of Egypt” - We were taken out of Egypt, not through an angel, not through a fiery angel called a Saraf, and not through a messenger.

Rather, it was God Himself in His glory Who took us out, as it says in the Torah:

I will pass through the land of Egypt on the night of Pesach, and I will slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man to animal, and I will carry out judgments and punish all the gods of Egypt. I, God, will do this personally.

“I will pass through the land of Egypt on this night” - I and not an angel.

“And I will slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt.” - I and not a Saraf.

“And I will carry out judgments and punish all the gods of Egypt.” - I and not a messenger. “I, God.” - It is I and no one else.

“With a strong hand” – This refers to the plague of Deadly Disease in Animals, as it says in the Torah when Moses warned the Egyptians: Behold, the hand of God will punish you by placing a very deadly disease on your animals in the fields – on the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the cattle, and the flock.

“With an outstretched arm” – This refers to the final plague when God killed their firstborn with a sword. As it says in the book of Chronicles regarding this sword: His sword drawn in His hand, stretched out over Jerusalem.

“With a great display.” – This refers to the revelation of God’s Presence during the Death of the Firstborns and the exodus from Egypt.

God took us out of Egypt with a great display. As it says in the Torah: Has any god performed miracles when coming to take for himself a nation from within another nation, by challenging the enemy to test his greatness, with signs and wonders, with war, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and with a great display, as all that the Lord, your God, did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

“With signs.” – This refers to the signs God did with the stick of Moses, turning it into a snake, and swallowing the other sticks. As it says in the Torah when God commanded Moses to go to Pharaoh: You shall take this stick in your hand, with which you will perform the signs.

“And with wonders.” – This refers to the plague of Blood. As it says in the book of Joel: I will show wonders in heaven and on earth, of -

There is another way of deriving the plagues from this verse: From the words “with a strong hand” we learn about two plagues - one from the word “hand” by itself, and one from the extra description “strong hand;” From the

Boi ls

words “with an outstretched arm” we learn about two more plagues - one from the word “arm” by itself, and one from the extra description “outstretched arm;” From the words “with great display” we learn about two plagues - one from the word “display” by itself, and one from the extra description “great display;” from the plural expression of

the word “signs” we learn about two more plagues; from the plural expression of the word “wonders” we learn about two more plagues.

These are the ten plagues that God brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt.

They are:

44 See chart (facing page) explaining the following three opinions.

‫ ַר ִ ּבי‬Rabbi Yossi Haglili says: From where do you know to say that the Egyptians were struck by ten plagues in Egypt, and were struck by fifty plagues at the sea?

Concerning the plagues in Egypt, the Torah says: The sorcerers said to Pharaoh, “It’s the finger of God.” Concerning the plagues at the sea, the Torah says: The nation of Israel saw the great and mighty hand which God used to fight and destroy the Egyptians, and the people feared God. They believed in God and in Moses, His servant.

Now, how many plagues were the Egyptians struck with by “the finger of God” in Egypt? Ten plagues. You must therefore say that if in Egypt, where the Egyptians were struck by a single finger, they were struck by ten plagues, at the sea, where they were struck by “God’s great hand” (which has five fingers), they must have been struck by five times that amount - fifty plagues.

‫ ַר ִ ּבי‬Rabbi Eliezer says: From where do we know that each individual plague that God brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt and at the sea consisted of four sub-plagues?

We learn it from Psalms, where it says regarding the plagues: God sent forth against the Egyptians His fierce anger, fury, rage, misfortune, and a group of messengers of evil.

The word “fury” tells us about one sub-plague; the word “rage” makes two; “misfortune” makes three; and “a group of messengers of evil” makes four.

Now that you see from the verse that each plague consisted of four subplagues, you must say that in Egypt, where the Egyptians were struck by a single finger, they were struck by ten plagues consisting of four each, totalling forty plagues, and at the sea, where they were struck five times that amount by “God’s great hand,” they were struck by two hundred plagues.

‫ ַר ִ ּבי‬Rabbi Akiva says: From where do we know that each individual plague that God brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt and at the sea consisted of five sub-plagues?

We learn it from Psalms, where it says regarding the plagues: God sent forth against the Egyptians His fierce anger, fury, rage, misfortune, and a group of messengers of evil.

The words “His fierce anger” tells us about one sub-plague; the word “fury” makes two; the word “rage” makes three; “misfortune” makes four; and “a group of messengers of evil” makes five.

Now that you see from the verse that each plague consisted of five subplagues, you must say that in Egypt, where the Egyptians were struck by a single finger, they were struck by ten plagues consisting of five each, totalling fifty plagues, and at the sea, where they were struck five times that amount by “God’s great hand,” they were struck by two hundred and fifty plagues.

God has showered upon us so many good things!

If God had taken us out of Egypt, but had not carried out judgments against the Egyptians and punished them — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had carried out judgments against the Egyptians and punished them, but had not destroyed their gods — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had destroyed their gods, but had not killed their firstborn — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had killed their firstborn, but had not given us their wealth — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had given us their wealth during the plague of Darkness, but had not hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that he gave chase, leading God to split the sea for us — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had split the sea for us, but had not taken us through it on completely dry land — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had taken us through the sea on completely dry land, but had not drowned our enemies in it — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had drowned our enemies in the sea, but had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, and we would have had to buy them from local merchants — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him.

48 If He had supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, but had not fed us the manna — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had fed us the manna, but had not given us the mitzvah of keeping Shabbat — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had given us the mitzvah of keeping Shabbat, but had not brought us before Mount Sinai — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had brought us before Mount Sinai and only given us the Ten Commandments, but had not given us the rest of the Torah — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had given us the entire Torah, but had not taken us into the land of Israel — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him. If He had taken us into the land of Israel, but had not built for us His chosen home, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem — it would have been reason enough for us to thank Him.

‫ עַ ל‬How much more so should we be grateful to God now that He

has done all these things for us and showered upon us doubled and redoubled goodness — He took us out of Egypt. He carried out judgments against the Egyptians and punished them. He destroyed their gods; He killed their firstborn.

He gave us their wealth. He split the sea for us. He took us through it on completely dry land. He drowned our enemies in it. He supplied our needs in the desert for forty years; He fed us the manna. He gave us the mitzvah of keeping Shabbat; He brought us before Mount Sinai. He gave us the entire Torah. He brought us into the land of Israel. And He built for us His chosen Home, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, so that we could bring offerings to atone for all our sins.

‫ ַר ָ ּבן‬Rabban Gamliel used to say: Whoever has not discussed the reasons

for the following three things on Pesach has not properly fulfilled his obligation to tell the story of the exodus from Egypt.

They are:

The Pesach offering, Matzah, and Marror.

‫ ּ ֶפ ַֽסח‬What is the reason for the offering called “Pesach” which our ancestors ate in the times of the Holy Temple?

The Pesach offering was offered because the word “pesach” means to “pass over,” and God passed over our ancestors’ houses in Egypt and spared their firstborn. As it says in the Torah: You should say to your son, “This is a Pesach offering for God, because He passed over the houses of the nation of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians’ firstborn, and He spared our households.” Then the Jewish people bent their knees, and bowed down to God.

‫ ַמ ָצּ ה‬What is the reason for the matzah that we eat?

We eat matzah because the dough of our ancestors did not have enough time to rise before God, the King over the kings of kings, revealed Himself to them and redeemed them from Egypt. As it says in the Torah regarding the exodus from Egypt: They baked the dough they had taken out of Egypt into round matzos, because it had not risen, since they were chased out of Egypt and could not wait for the dough to rise. They were in such a rush that they also did not have enough time to prepare any other provisions for the way.

‫ ָמרוֹ ר‬What is the reason for the marror that we eat?

We eat marror because the Egyptians made the lives of our fathers in Egypt bitter. As it says in the Torah: They made their lives bitter with hard work - by making them work with mortar and bricks and all kinds of work in the fields. All their work that the Egyptians made them do was backbreaking work.

‫ ְ ּבכָ ל‬In each and every generation, and on each and every day, a person must see himself as if he had personally left Egypt on that day. As it says in the Torah: You should tell your son on that distant day—even many generations later, “God did miracles for me when I left Egypt in order that I keep His mitzvot, such as these mitzvot of the Pesach offering, and eating matzah and marror.” God redeemed not only our ancestors from Egypt, but also redeemed us along with them. As it says in the Torah: God took us out of Egypt in order to bring us to the land He promised to our ancestors, and to give it to us.

‫ לְ ִפיכָ ְך‬Therefore we must thank, laud, praise, glorify, exalt, adore, bless, elevate, and honor God, Who did all these miracles for our ancestors and for us. He took us out from slavery to freedom, from sorrow to joy, from mourning to a day of celebration, from darkness to great light, and from slavery to redemption. Let us therefore declare before Him: “Praise God.”

‫ ַהלְ ל ּויָ ּה‬Everyone should praise God. Servants of God, give praise. Praise the name of God. May God’s name be blessed by all creations, now and forever. From the people who live in the east where the sun rises, to the people who live in the west where it sets, God’s name is praised.

God is in the heavens, high above all the nations of the world. God’s glory is above the heavens. Who is like the Lord, our God, Who, even though He rests up high above the world, still lowers Himself to look down upon the heaven and earth and keeps them in existence. He picks up a needy person from the dust of poverty, and He lifts a poor person from the garbage. Not only does God take poor people out of poverty,

52 He raises them to a position where they can sit with noblemen; with the noblemen of His nation, the Jewish people. God settles a woman who cannot naturally have children into a house; He gives her many children.

He makes her a happy mother of children. Praise God.

‫ ְ ּב ֵצאת‬When the nation of Israel went out of Egypt, when the House of Jacob went out from among a nation that spoke a foreign language, the people of Yehudah became His holy nation; the nation of Israel came under His rulership. The Sea of Reeds saw the Jewish people coming, and it fled so that they could walk through. During that time, all the waters of the world split, including the Jordan river, which turned and flowed backwards. When God’s glory was revealed at Mount Sinai during the giving of the Torah, the world shook and the mountains skipped like rams. The nearby hills skipped like young sheep. What is with you, Sea of Reeds; why is it that you run? Why is it, Jordan river, that you turn and flow backwards? What is with you mountains, that you skip like rams, and what is with the hills that skip like young sheep? The sea, the mountains, and the hills answer: We do this in awe of being before the Master, God, the Creator of the earth; we are before the God of Jacob, Who turns the rock into a pool of water and Who turns the flint stone into a fountain of water. When the Jewish people needed water in the desert, God turned a rock into a fountain of water.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who redeemed us and redeemed our ancestors from Egypt, and brought us to this night so that we can fulfill the mitzvot to eat matzah and marror. So too, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, bring us to celebrate other special times (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) and festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot) that are coming to us in peace with the coming of Mashiach, when we will rejoice in the rebuilding of Your city, Jerusalem, and we will be joyful in serving You in the Holy Temple. Then we will eat of the Chagigah offerings and Pesach offerings, whose blood will be sprinkled on the side of Your Altar so that they should be accepted. We will then sing a new song to thank You for redeeming us and for redeeming our souls from this exile.

Blessed are You, Lord, Who redeemed the nation of Israel from Egypt.

Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who creates the fruit of the vine.

Review the five steps of rachtzah through korech at this point, to avoid making an interruption between them.

Wash your hands in the following manner: ·· Pick up the cup of water in your right hand and pass it to your left hand. ·· Pour three times on your right hand, pass the cup back to your right hand and (customarily holding the cup with a towel) pour three times on your left hand, retaining a little water in the left hand.

·· Rub the retained water over both hands together while saying the following blessing and then dry them completely. ·· After saying the following blessing, do not talk until after eating the matzah, and it is best not to talk until after eating the “korech” sandwich.

,‫ ֲא ׁ ֶשר ִק ְדּ ׁ ָ ֽשנ ּו ְ ּב ִמ ְצוֹ ָתיו‬,‫ ֱאל ֵ ֹֽהינ ּו ֶ ֽמלֶ ְך ָהעוֹ לָ ם‬,ָ‫ַא ָּתה יְ י‬ .‫וְ ִצ ָ ּוֽנ ּו ַעל נְ ִטילַ ת יָ ָ ֽדיִ ם‬

‫ָ ּברו ְּך‬

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who made us holy with His mitzvot and commanded us through the Sages regarding washing our hands before eating bread.

Matzah is referred to in the Zohar as ‫ימנו ָּתא‬ ְ ‫ ִמכְ לָ א ִד ְמ ֵה‬- food that strengthens our faith and ‫ִמכְ לָ א‬ ‫ ְד ַא ְס ָוו ָתא‬- food that heals.

More specifically, the matzah of the first night strengthens our faith, and matzah of the second night heals. This order shows that ideally, a person’s faith should cause the healing, rather than the healing causing the faith.

Break off a kezayit (about 1 oz.) from each of the top two matzot, and eat them together while leaning to the left. ·· Everyone must eat at least a kezayit of matzah (approximately half of a shmurah matzah) to fulfill this mitzvah.

·· The entire amount should be eaten within approximately four to seven minutes.

·· It is preferable that all receive at least a small piece of the matzah from the Seder Plate.

·· The matzah is not dipped in salt.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who made us holy with His mitzvot and commanded us about eating marror on Pesach. ·· Eat the marror without leaning. ·· The entire kezayit should be eaten within approximately four to seven minutes.

To make sure that there is no interruption between saying the blessing on marror and eating it, we dip the marror into charoset before saying the blessing.

Chabad House Haggadah MAIN.indd 55

Q Why don’t we dip the matzah into salt?

A The mitzvah of matzah is so special that we do not want to mix any other taste into it.

Take a kezayit of the bottom matzah and a kezayit of the bitter herbs to make a sandwich. Put some dry charoset (that was not softened with wine) on the bitter herbs, shake it off, then say the following:

‫ ָהיָ ה ּכוֹ ֵר ְך ּ ֶפ ַֽסח‬,‫ֵּכן ָ ע ָשׂ ה ִה ֵּלל ִ ּבזְ ַמן ׁ ֶש ֵ ּבית ַה ִּמ ְק ָדּ ׁש ָהיָ ה ַק ָ ּים‬ ‫ ַעל ַמצּ וֹ ת ו ְּמרוֹ ִרים‬:‫ ְּכמוֹ ׁ ֶש ֶ ּנ ֱא ַמר‬,‫ַמ ָצּ ה ו ָּמרוֹ ר וְ אוֹ כֵ ל ְ ּביַ ַֽחד‬ .ּ‫יֹאכְ ֻלֽהו‬

‫ ֵּכן‬The following is what Hillel used to do in the times of the Holy Temple: He would combine the meat of the Pesach offering, matzah, and marror and eat them together. As it says in the Torah: They should eat the Pesach offering together with matzah and marror. ·· Eat the Korech sandwich while leaning to the left. The Korech should be eaten within approximately four to seven minutes.

·· Those who do not have their own Seder Plate should use other matzah and bitter herbs for the Korech sandwich.

Q Why is it necessary to eat the matzah by itself, the marror by itself, and then to eat them together in the Korech sandwich?

A Matzah must be eaten alone because eating marror with it would nullify its taste.

Regarding marror, there are different opinions whether it should be eaten alone, or— according to Hillel—together with matzah (and also the Pesach offering, in the times of the Holy Temple). In order to fulfill the mitzvah according to both opinions, we eat it both alone, and together with matzah.

Eat the Afikoman while leaning to the left. ·· On the first night of Pesach, the Afikoman should be eaten before chatzot ( halachic midnight). ·· After eating the Afikoman, one should not eat or drink anything for the rest of the night. One should therefore make sure to drink enough to avoid being thirsty after eating the Afikoman. ·· Ideally, one should eat two kezeitim of matzah for the Afikoman. One who finds this too difficult, however, may eat one kezayit of matzah. ·· Each person receives a piece of the Afikoman and supplements it with other matzah to total the required amount. ·· The Afikoman should be eaten within approximately four to seven minutes.

‫ ׁ ִשיר‬The following is a song which was sung by the Levi’im on the steps in the Holy

Temple: When God returns the captured people of Zion; when He takes the Jewish people out of exile and returns them to the land of Israel, we will have been like dreamers. After

Mashiach comes, exile will seem like it was a distant dream that never really happened. At that time our mouths will be filled with laughter and our tongues will be filled with songs of joy. The nations of the world will say, “God did great things for these people.” The Jewish people will answer the nations, “Yes, God has done great things for us, and that is why we were happy.” While we are in exile, we ask God, “Please return our captives from exile; may they return quickly to the land of Israel, like streams of water flowing quickly on dry land, and may all suffering end. When that happens, those who plant seeds in these dry places, and are in tears because they are afraid no fruit will grow, will gather their food with songs of happiness. Although he goes along crying while carrying the bag of seeds in the field, he will surely come back to his house with songs of happiness, carrying all his bundles of produce from the field.

‫ לִ ְבנֵ י‬The following is a song that was composed by the sons of Korach. It is a song whose

basic theme is the holy mountains of Jerusalem. God loves the gates of Zion (Jerusalem)

more than all the other parts of Israel in which the Jewish people live. Jerusalem, glorious words of Torah are said by the Sanhedrin who live in your gates, and therefore you will forever be called “the city of God.” When I mention and discuss major countries, such as Egypt, Babylon, Pleshet, Tzor, and Kush with those who know the greatness of Jerusalem as I do, the other countries do not compare to Jerusalem’s greatness. This is because the other major countries rarely produce a great person; so when people refer to the great person who was born in these countries, they refer to him in the singular form and say, “This person was born there.” However, because Jerusalem is always full of many great men, when people speak about Jerusalem, they say, “This great person and that great person were born there.” God will establish Jerusalem as the most important city above all others. When Mashiach comes and God writes and decrees destruction on the nations that didn’t serve Him, He will count every Jew and take him out from among the nations, and say, “This person’s ancestors were born in Jerusalem. He belongs to me!” Singers as well as musicians will say, “Jerusalem, all my thoughts are about you!”

God gives the world food because of His great name; because He is the God Who provides food and livelihood to everyone. He does good to everyone and He prepares food for all His creations; for everything that He created.

‫ וְ עַ ל‬We thank and bless You, Lord, our God, for all the good things You do for us. When Mashiach comes, Your name will be blessed by the mouths of all living things, always and forever, because then the world will recognize that You are the only true God. We know that it is a mitzvah to bless God after we eat because it is written in the verse: When you have eaten and you are satisfied, you should bless the Lord, your God. You should thank Him for the good land of Israel that He has given you. Blessed are You, Lord, for the land and for the food it produces. ‫ ַר ֵחם‬Lord, our God, have mercy on Israel, Your nation. Have mercy on

Your city, Jerusalem. Have mercy on Zion, where Your glory rests. Have mercy on the kingship of the House of David. Have mercy on the royal descendants of King David, whom You anointed to rule over the Jewish people, and have mercy on the great and holy house, the Holy Temple, which is called the “House of God,” and is known by Your name. Our God, our Father, our Shepherd, feed us with extra food, provide clothes and other necessities for us, support us, and provide us with plenty of what we need. Lord, our God, relieve us speedily from all of our troubles, both physical and spiritual. Lord, our God, please do not put us in a situation where we will need people’s presents or loans in order to survive. Instead, let us get everything we need from Your full, open, holy, and generous hand, in order that we should never be embarrassed or disgraced.

‫ְר ֵצה‬

Lord, our God, may You continue to want to strengthen us through Your mitzvot and through the mitzvah of the seventh day, this great and holy Shabbat. For this day is a great and holy day before You, a day in which to lovingly stop working and to rest, in accordance with the mitzvah that You want us to do. Lord, our God, with Your good will, give us calm; may we have no hardships on this day, so that there should be no pain, sadness, or sorrow on the day of our rest. Lord, our God, show us the comforting of Zion, Your city, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem, Your holy city, because You are the Master of salvation and comfort.

‫ ֱאל ֵ ֹֽהינ ּו‬Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, may the following

memories rise up, come to You, reach You, be seen, willingly accepted, heard, recalled, and remembered by You: The memories and recollections of the good things that we and our fathers did for You, the memory of Mashiach, who is a descendant of King David, Your servant, the memory of Jerusalem, Your holy city, which is in ruins, and the memory of Your entire nation, Israel, who are in exile, should all be remembered before You. Remember these things, God, and give us deliverance from hardship, goodness, graciousness, kindness, mercy, good life, and peace, on this special day of the festival of Pesach, on this festival that the Torah calls Holy. Remember us, Lord, our God, on this special day for good things, remember us on it for blessing, and help us on this day to have a good life. God, You have promised to help us and have mercy on us. With this promise of salvation and mercy, have pity on us, be kind to us, have mercy on us, and save us, because our eyes look only towards You, because You, God, are a kind and merciful King.

‫ ו ְּבנֵ ה‬God, rebuild the holy city of Jerusalem quickly, in our days.

Blessed are You, Lord, Who in His mercy rebuilds Jerusalem. Amen.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world. You are the God of

the world, our Father, our King, our Strength, our Creator, our Redeemer, our Maker, our Holy One and the Holy One of Jacob and his descendants, the Jewish people. You are our Shepherd—the shepherd Who guides His flock, the nation of Israel. You are the King Who is good and does good things for all, each and every day. We thank God because He has done good for us, He does good for us, and He will continue to do good for us.

He has given us in the past, He gives to us presently, and He will continue to give us, in the future and forever, the following things: grace, kindness, mercy, relief, rescue from our troubles, success, blessings, salvation, comfort, livelihood, support, mercy, life, peace, and all good things. May God never let us lack any of the good things in the world.

May the merciful God rule over us forever and ever.

May the merciful God be blessed in heaven and on earth.

May the merciful God be praised throughout all generations and be proud of us and be glorified by us forever and ever.

May the merciful God provide us with livelihood in an honorable and dignified way.

May the merciful God break off the yoke of exile from our necks. May He remove the restrictions and hardship of exile from us, and may He lead us, standing upright and proud, to Israel, our land.

May the merciful God send many blessings to us in this house and on this table on which we have eaten.

May the merciful God send us Elijah the Prophet, who is remembered for the good things he did, to inform us of the good news, that Mashiach is arriving, bringing comfort and salvation.

May the merciful God bless my father and teacher, the master of this house, and my mother and teacher, the mistress of this house. God should bless them, their household, their descendants, and everything that belongs to them, together with us and everything that belongs to us.

Just as He blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in all things, so too, He should bless all of us together, in all things, with a complete blessing. Let us say Amen.

May God, Who makes peace in His heavens, make peace for us and for all the nation of Israel, and everyone say Amen.

Even wealthy and powerful people, who are strong like young lions, can become poor and go hungry, but the people who search for God and rely on Him for their livelihood will never lack any goodness. Give thanks to God because He is good to everyone; because His kindness lasts forever. God, You open Your hand and give enough food to satisfy the desires of every living thing.

‫ לֹא‬Not for our sake, God; not because we are deserving should You be

kind to us. Rather, for the sake of Your name, give and shine Your glory, in order that the nations should know of Your kindness and Your truth, that You always do good to the Jewish people. Why should the nations be able to say about the Jewish people, “Where is their God? Why does He not help them?” Our God is in heaven; He is not like the idols of the other nations, which are man-made. He does whatever He wants, because He controls everything. The idols which the nations of the world worship are made of silver and gold; they are made by 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 touch; their feet cannot walk. They cannot even make the smallest sound with their throats. Those who make idols and all those who trust in them will become like them—unable to speak, see, hear, smell, touch, or walk.

The nation of Israel should trust in God! He is their help and their shield to protect them from trouble. Kohanim of the House of Aaron should trust in God! He is their help and their shield. Those who fear God should trust in God! He is their help and their shield.

ָ‫ יְ י‬May God, Who always remembers us, bless us. May He bless the nation of Israel; may He bless the Kohanim of the House of Aaron. May He bless those who fear God, the small, ordinary people as well as the great people. May God increase the blessings He puts upon you; upon you and upon your children. You are blessed constantly

by God, Who made the heavens and the earth. The heavens are the heavens of God, and human beings cannot live in them, but He gave the earth to human beings on which to live. Those who are dead cannot praise God; anyone who goes down into the silence of the grave cannot praise God. But we, who are still alive on this world, will bless God from now and forever, throughout all future generations. Praise God. ‫ ָא ַ ֽה ְב ִּתי‬King David said: I love God because He always listens to my voice

and my prayers. He turns His ear towards me and listens to me on the days that I call to Him. When Saul almost killed me, a sudden feeling of death surrounded me, and the tight space of the grave came upon me.

At that time, I found myself filled with pain and sadness. So I called out with the name of God and said, “God, I beg You to save my soul!” I called out to God because He is kind and righteous; our God is merciful. God watches over simple people, who do not know how to stay away from bad things, and He saves them. When I was in my low, sad situation, He saved me. My soul, return peacefully to God, because there you will find your rest. God has always given you kindness. God, You have saved my soul from death. You have saved my eyes from tears, and You saved my feet from falling when I was running from my enemies. I will now walk before God in the lands of Israel, among the people living in peace. God, I had faith that You would save me, even when I said, “I am in great suffering.” Even when people said that I would never be king, I had faith.

As I hurried and ran away from Saul I said, “All the people who are saying that I will never be king are being dishonest.”

‫ ָמה‬How can I repay God for all of His acts of kindness which He has

done for me? I will raise a cup of wine and tell the Jewish people about how You saved me, and I will call in the name of God. I will pay and keep my promises to God, which I committed to fulfill if He saved me from danger, now, while in the presence of all His people. It is painful in the eyes of God to see the death of His devoted people, and that is why He performs miracles to save them. I thank You, God, for the fact that I am Your humble servant. I am Your servant; I am the humble son of my mother, Your maidservant. Because I have been humble, You have loosened the knots that tied me, and I have been saved. I will offer a sacrifice to You, an offering of thanks; and I will call in the name of God. I will pay and keep my promises to God, which I committed to fulfill if He saved me from danger. I will do this now, while in the presence of all His people, in the courtyards of the House of God—the Holy Temple, which is in the midst of Jerusalem. Praise God.

‫ ַהלְ ל ּו‬When Mashiach comes, all the nations will praise God; all the

people will glorify Him.

They will praise Him because His kindness was mighty over us. The truth of God is everlasting; He is trusted to keep His promises forever. Praise God.

‫ הוֹ ד ּו‬Give praise to God because He is good; because His kindness lasts forever.

‫ֹאמר‬ ַ ‫ י‬All of the nation of Israel should say that His kindness lasts forever. ‫ֹאמר ּו‬ ְ ‫ י‬The Kohanim of the House of Aaron should say that His kindness lasts forever.

‫ֹאמר ּו‬ ְ ‫ י‬Those who fear God should say that His kindness lasts forever. ‫ ִמן‬From the tight situation that I was in, I called out to God for His help.

God answered me and put me in a wide open, peaceful place. God is with me and I will not be afraid of anyone. What can any person do to me if I have God’s help? When God is with me, among my helpers, I will see the downfall of my enemies. It is better to rely on God for help than to trust in any person. It is better to rely on God for help than to trust in important, powerful people. All the nations surrounded me to fight me, but I still trusted in You. In the name of God I will cut them down and defeat them. They surrounded me and circled me, but I still trusted that in the name of God I will cut them down. They surrounded me like bees surrounding a jar of honey, but they will retreat and fall like small twigs burning in a fire. In the name of God I will cut them down. They constantly pushed me to make me fall, but God helped me, and I was saved. God is my strength and song, and He has been a salvation for me. The sound of rejoicing and salvation will be heard in the tents of the righteous who were saved by God. They will say, “The right hand of God acts with great strength. The right hand of God is raised high; the right hand of God acts with great strength.” I will not die. Rather, I will continue to live, and I will tell the great things God has done. God indeed

76 Give praise to God, Who gave their land, Israel, as an inheritance for the Jewish people, because His kindness lasts forever.

Give praise to God, Who gave the land of Israel as an inheritance to the children of Israel (Jacob) His servant, because His kindness lasts forever.

Give praise to God, Who remembered us when our spirits were low in Egypt, because His kindness lasts forever.

Give praise to God, Who freed us from the people who made us suffer, because His kindness lasts forever.

Give praise to God, Who gives food to all creatures of flesh, not just humans, because His kindness lasts forever.

Give praise to the God of the heavens, Who provides rain for food to grow, because His kindness lasts forever.

‫ נִ ׁ ְש ַמת‬Lord, our God—the neshamah of every living thing will bless Your name. God our King, the spirit of all flesh will always glorify and raise Your remembrance high.

From this world to the World to Come, You are the God Who rules with strength.

Besides You, God, we have no other king, redeemer, and rescuer who redeems us, rescues us, provides for us, answers our prayers, and is merciful in all times of trouble and difficulty. We have no King besides You, God of all generations—from the first generations of the world to the last. The Lord is the God of all creations and the Master of everything that happens. He is praised with many types of praises.

He guides His world with kindness and His creations with mercy. Indeed, God never stops watching over the world; He is like a guard who does not sleep and does not slumber. God wakes up those who sleep; He even awakens those who sleep deeply.

He causes mute people to talk, frees those who are imprisoned, supports those who

fall, and straightens those whose backs are bent. To You alone, God, we must give thanks for doing these things. Even if our mouths were filled with songs of praise for

You as the sea is filled with water, and our tongues were filled with song as the roar of the waves of the sea, and our lips filled with praise as wide as the sky, and our eyes shined as bright as the sun and the moon, and our hands were spread out with joy and praise as wings of eagles in the sky, and our feet were as swift to do Your mitzvot as a deer—even if we had all of these qualities, we would still not be able to thank You enough, Lord, our God, and the God of our fathers, and we would still not be able to bless Your name enough for even one of the countless favors, miracles, and wonders that You have done for us and for our ancestors before us. Lord, our God, You redeemed us from Egypt; You released us from the house of slaves. You fed us during times of famine and You supported us during times of plenty. You saved us from the sword of our enemies and let us escape from plagues. You kept us away from bad, long-lasting sicknesses. Until now, Your mercy has helped us and Your kindness has not left us. Lord, our God, You will never abandon us. Therefore, we will thank You for all the great things You have done for us. The body parts that You have arranged in us, the spirit and the soul that You have blown into our nostrils, and the tongues that You have put into our mouths—they will all thank, bless, praise, make beautiful, raise high, worship, make holy, and declare as king—Your name, God, our King.

Hallel -Nirtzah

78 God, every mouth will thank You. Every tongue will make an oath in Your name only. Every eye will look to You for help. Every knee will bend to You. All who stand straight will bow before You. Every person’s heart will fear You. Every person’s innermost feelings and thoughts will sing praises to Your name. All of this will happen, as it is written in Psalms: All of my bones and my entire body will say, “God, who is like You? You save a poor person from someone who is stronger than him, and You save a poor person and a needy person from someone who wants to rob him.” God, who is similar to You? Who is equal to You? Who is comparable to You, the mighty, great, powerful, awesome, and most high God, the creator of heaven and earth? We will laud, praise, and glorify You, and we will bless Your holy name. As it is said by King David in Psalms: My soul should bless God and my entire being should bless His holy name.

‫ָה ֵאל‬

You are called the mighty God due to the strength of Your power. You are called the great God due to the honor of Your name. You are called the powerful God forever, and You are called the awesome God due to Your awe-inspiring deeds. God, You are the King Who sits on a high and raised throne.

‫ ׁשוֹ כֵ ן‬The Name of God, Who dwells forever, is raised high and holy. It is written

in Psalms: Righteous people should sing praises to God. It is fitting for those who go in the straight, righteous ways of God to praise Him. God, You will be raised high by the praises which come from the mouths of those who go in Your straight and righteous ways. You will be blessed by the lips of righteous people. You will be made holy by the tongue of righteous people, and You will be praised among holy people.

‫ו ְּב ַמ ְק ֵהלוֹ ת‬

In the gatherings of the many people of Your nation, the House of Israel, Your name—the name of our King—will be made beautiful with songs in every generation. For that is the obligation of all creations before You, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers: they must thank You, laud You, praise You, declare You beautiful and high, worship You, bless You, declare You great, and sing praises to You, in addition to all the words of songs and praises that were written by David, the son of Yishai, Your anointed servant.

‫ו ְּבכֵ ן‬

Therefore, our King, may Your name be praised forever, the strong God, the great and holy King Who is in the heaven and on earth. For to You, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, it is appropriate forever to offer songs and praise, praise and melody; to speak about Your might and rulership, Your power of victory, Your greatness and strength, Your beauty and glory, and Your holiness and rulership as King. It is also appropriate that we give blessings and thanks to Your great and holy name. From this world to the World to Come, You are the only God. Blessed are You, Lord, the mighty God and great King Who is acclaimed with praises; the God Who is worthy of thanks; the Master of wonders and miracles; the Creator of all the souls; the Ruler of all the creations Who chooses the Jewish people’s songs of praise. God is the only King; He is the life of all the worlds.

‫ ָ ּברו ְּך‬Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the world, Who creates the fruit of the vine.

Have mercy, Lord, our God, on the nation of Israel, Your people, on Jerusalem, Your city, on Zion, where Your glory rests, on Your Altar and on Your Holy Temple. Rebuild the holy city of Jerusalem quickly, in our days. Bring us up to it and let us be happy in it, and we will bless You then, in holiness and purity.

May You willingly accept us as Your nation and strengthen us on this Shabbat day.

Remember us for good things on this day of the festival of Pesach because You, God, are good, and You do good to everyone. We give thanks to You for the land of Israel and for the fruit of the vine. Blessed are You, Lord, for the land and for the fruit of the vine.

Build Your Temple soon!
