35. Kaplan’s (1942) New Haggadah
Pesach means more than that the first emancipation the
Israelites won from Pharaoh…it means emancipation of the
serfs in the middle ages, the freedom slaves won from their
masters, the freedom the common people won when their
kings were overthrown; it means the guarantee of the
sacred rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Kaplan, Mordecai. 1942. The New Haggadah for Pesah. Behreman House
36. Hunger Seder (2020)
“This is the bread of affliction. May all who are hungry
come and eat.” The invitation to the hungry seems empty…
we eat to satisfaction without a thought to the hungry.
Tonight we speak of hunger, but do nothing.
Goldberg, Jeffrey. 2020. Hunger Seder. https://mazon.org/
