Benor Family Passover Haggadah

Kiddush

On Shabbat, begin here:

And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their host. And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had done; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because He rested on it from all of His work which God created in doing (Genesis 1:31-2:3).

On weekdays, begin here:

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam borey pri hagafen.

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

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has chosen us from all peoples and has raised us above all tongues and has sanctified us with His commandments. And You have given us, Lord our God, [Sabbaths for rest], appointed times for happiness, holidays and special times for joy, [this Sabbath day, and] this Festival of Matzot, our season of freedom [in love] a holy convocation in memory of the Exodus from Egypt. For You have chosen us and sanctified us above all peoples. In Your gracious love, You granted us Your [holy Sabbath, and] special times for happiness and joy.

Blessed are You, O Lord, who sanctifies [the Sabbath,] Israel, and the appointed times.

On Saturday night add the following two paragraphs:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the light of the fire. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who distinguishes between the holy and the profane, between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations, between the seventh day and the six working days. You have distinguished between the holiness of the Sabbath and the holiness of the Festival, and You have sanctified the seventh day above the six working days. You have distinguished and sanctified Your people Israel with Your holiness.

Blessed are You, O Lord, who distinguishes between the holy and the holy.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has granted us life and sustenance and permitted us to reach this season.

Drink while reclining to the left and do not recite a blessing after drinking.

And Wash

Wash your hands without a blessing.

In contrast to many people around the world, especially refugees, we're so fortunate to have easy access to water

Greens.

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam borey pri ha'adamah.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the earth.

Break

Split the middle matzah in two, and hide the larger piece to use for the afikoman.

The Recitation [of the exodus story]

Uncover the matzahs, raise them, and recite:

Ha lachma, ha lachma anya di achalu, achalu avhatana b'ar'a b'ar'a d'mitzrayim, b'ar'a b'ar'a d'mitzrayim. Kol dichfin yetey v'yechol, kol ditzrich yetey v'yifsach. Hashata hacha, l'shana habaa b'ar'a d'yisrael. Hashata avdei, l'shana habaa bnei chorin.

This is the bread of destitution that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Anyone who is famished should come and eat, anyone who is in need should come and partake of the Pesach sacrifice. Now we are here, next year we will be in the land of Israel; this year we are slaves, next year we will be free people.

Ma nishtana halayla hazeh mikol halelot?

What differentiates this night from all [other] nights? On all [other] nights we eat leavened products and matzah; this night, only matzah. On all [other] nights we eat other vegetables; tonight bitter herbs. On all [other] nights, we don't dip [our food] even one time; tonight [we dip it] twice. On [all] other nights, we eat either sitting or reclining; tonight we all recline.

Avadim hayinu, hayinu, l'faro b'mitzrayim, bmitzrayim. Avadim hayinu. Ata, ata, bnei chorin. Avadim hayinu. Ata, ata, bnei chorin, bnei chorin.

We were slaves to Pharaoh in the land of Egypt. And the Lord, our God, took us out from there with a strong hand and an outstretched forearm. And if the Holy One, blessed be He, had not taken our ancestors from Egypt, behold we and our children and our children's children would [all] be enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt. And even if we were all sages, all discerning, all elders, all knowledgeable about the Torah, it is a commandment upon us to tell the story of the exodus from Egypt. And anyone who adds [and spends extra time] in telling the story of the exodus from Egypt, behold he is praiseworthy.

Blessed is the Place [of all], Blessed is He; Blessed is the One who Gave the Torah to His people Israel, Blessed is He. Corresponding to four sons did the Torah speak; one [who is] wise, one [who is] evil, one who is innocent and one who doesn't know to ask.

What does the wise [son] say? "What are these testimonies, statutes and judgments that the Lord our God commanded you?" And accordingly you will say to him, as per the laws of the Pesach sacrifice, "We may not eat an afikoman [a dessert or other foods eaten after the meal] after [we are finished eating] the Pesach sacrifice. (Mishnah Pesachim 10:8)"

What does the evil [son] say? "What is this worship to you?" 'To you' and not 'to him.' And since he excluded himself from the collective, he denied a principle [of the Jewish faith]. And accordingly, you will blunt [the bite of his words] and say to him, "'For the sake of this, did the Lord do [this] for me in my going out of Egypt' (Exodus 13:8)." 'For me' and not 'for him.' If he had been there, he would not have been saved.

What does the innocent [son] say? "What is this?" And you will say to him, "'With the strength of [His] hand did the Lord take us out from Egypt, from the house of slaves' (Exodus 13:14).'"

And [regarding] the one who doesn't know to ask, you will open [the conversation] for him. As it is stated (Exodus 13:8), "And you will speak to your your son on that day saying, for the sake of this, did the Lord do [this] for me in my going out of Egypt."

Get your pinkies ready...

"blood and fire and pillars of smoke."

-----

Another [explanation]: "With a strong hand" [corresponds to] two [plagues]; "and with an outstretched forearm" [corresponds to] two [plagues]; "and with great awe" [corresponds to] two [plagues]; "and with signs" [corresponds to] two [plagues]; "and with wonders" [corresponds to] two [plagues].

These are [the] ten plagues that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought on the Egyptians in Egypt, and they are:

-----

Dam - Blood

Tzfarde'a - Frogs

Kinim - Lice

Arov - Wild Animals

Dever - cattle disease

Schin - Boils

Barad - Hail

Arbeh - Locusts

Choshech -Darkness

Makat Bechorot - Slaying of the Firstborn

Rabbi Yehuda was accustomed to giving [the plagues] mnemonics: Detsakh [the Hebrew initials of the first three plagues], Adash [the Hebrew initials of the second three plagues], Beachav [the Hebrew initials of the last four plagues].

How many degrees of good did the Place [of all bestow] upon us!

Ilu hotsi- hotsianu, hotsianu mimitzrayim, hotsianu mimitzrayim, dayenu.

Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et hashabat, natan lanu et hashabat, dayenu.

Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et hatorah, natan lanu et hatorah, dayenu.

If He had taken us out of Egypt and not made judgements on them; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had made judgments on them and had not made [them] on their gods; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had made [them] on their gods and had not killed their firstborn; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had killed their firstborn and had not given us their money; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had given us their money and had not split the Sea for us; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had split the Sea for us and had not taken us through it on dry land; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had taken us through it on dry land and had not pushed down our enemies in [the Sea]; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had pushed down our enemies in [the Sea] and had not supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years and had not fed us the manna; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had fed us the manna and had not given us the Shabbat; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had given us the Shabbat and had not brought us close to Mount Sinai; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had brought us close to Mount Sinai and had not given us the Torah; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had given us the Torah and had not brought us into the land of Israel; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had brought us into the land of Israel and had not built us the 'Chosen House' [the Temple; it would have been] enough for us. How much more so is the good that is doubled and quadrupled that the Place [of all bestowed] upon us [enough for us]; since he took us out of Egypt, and made judgments with them, and made [them] with their gods, and killed their firstborn, and gave us their money, and split the Sea for us, and brought us through it on dry land, and pushed down our enemies in [the Sea], and supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years, and fed us the manna, and gave us the Shabbat, and brought us close to Mount Sinai, and gave us the Torah, and brought us into the land of Israel and built us the 'Chosen House' [the Temple] to atone upon all of our sins.

Rabban Gamliel was accustomed to say, Anyone who has not said these three things on Pesach has not fulfilled his obligation, and these are they: the Pesach sacrifice, matzah and marror.

The Pesach [passover] sacrifice that our ancestors were accustomed to eating when the Temple existed, for the sake of what [was it]? For the sake [to commemorate] that the Holy One, blessed be He, passed over the homes of our ancestors in Egypt, as it is stated (Exodus 12:27); "And you shall say: 'It is the passover sacrifice to the Lord, for that He passed over the homes of the Children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and our homes he saved.’ And the people bowed the head and prostrated themselves."

Point to the matzah.

This matzah that we are eating, for the sake of what [is it]? For the sake [to commemorate] that our ancestors' dough was not yet able to rise, before the King of the kings of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, revealed [Himself] to them and redeemed them, as it is stated (Exodus 12:39); "And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt into matzah cakes, since it did not rise; because they were expelled from Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they made for themselves provisions."

Point to the maror.

This maror [bitter greens] that we are eating, for the sake of what [is it]? For the sake [to commemorate] that the Egyptians embittered the lives of our ancestors in Egypt, as it is stated (Exodus 1:14); "And they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor."

In each and every generation, a person is obligated to see himself as if he left Egypt, as it is stated (Exodus 13:8); "For the sake of this, did the Lord do [this] for me in my going out of Egypt." Not only our ancestors did the Holy One, blessed be He, redeem, but rather also us [together] with them did he redeem, as it is stated (Deuteronomy 6:23); "And He took us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers."

B'tset yisrael mimitzrayim, bet yaakov me'am loez, hayta yehuda l'kodsho, yisrael mamshelotav.

In Israel's going out from Egypt, the house of Ya'akov from a people of foreign speech, the Sea saw and fled, the Jordan turned to the rear. The mountains danced like rams, the hills like young sheep. What is happening to you, O Sea, that you are fleeing, O Jordan that you turn to the rear; O mountains that you dance like rams, O hills like young sheep? From before the Master, tremble O earth, from before the Lord of Ya'akov. He who turns the boulder into a pond of water, the flint into a spring of water. (Psalms 114)

We say the blessing and drink while reclining to the left:

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam borey pri hagafen.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Washing

We wash our hands and make the blessing.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us on the washing of the hands.

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam hamotsi lechem min haaretz.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who brings forth bread from the ground.

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam asher kidishanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al achilat matzah.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us on the eating of matzah.

Maror

All present should take a kazayit of maror.

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam asher kidishanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al achilat maror.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us on the eating of maror.

Sandwich

Maror/charoset with matzah:

In memory of the Temple according to Hillel. This is what Hillel would do when the Temple existed:

He would wrap the matzah and maror and eat them together, in order to fulfill what is stated, (Exodus 12:15): "You should eat it upon matzot and marorim."

The Set Table

Time to eat! Yay!

The Concealed [Matzah]

Before eating the afikoman, say: "In memory of the Pesach sacrifice that was eaten upon being satiated."

Bless

We pour the third cup and recite Grace over the meal:

A Song of Ascents; When the Lord will bring back the captivity of Zion, we will be like dreamers. Then our mouth will be full of mirth and our tongue joyful melody; then they will say among the nations; "The Lord has done greatly with these." The Lord has done great things with us; we are happy. Lord, return our captivity like streams in the desert. Those that sow with tears will reap with joyful song. He who surely goes and cries, he carries the measure of seed, he will surely come in joyful song and carry his sheaves.(Psalms 126)

My friends, let us bless:

All those present answer:

May the Name of the Lord be blessed from now and forever. (Psalms 113:2)

The leader says:

With the permission of our friends, let us bless [our God] from whom we have eaten.

Those present answer:

Blessed is [our God] from whom we have eaten and from whose goodness we live.

The leader repeats and says:

Blessed is [our God] from whom we have eaten and from whose goodness we live.

Together:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who nourishes the entire world in His goodness, in grace, in kindness and in mercy; He gives bread to all flesh since His kindness is forever. And in His great goodness, we always have not lacked, and may we not lack nourishment forever and always, because of His great name. Since He is a Power that feeds and provides for all and does good to all and prepares nourishment for all of his creatures that he created. Blessed are You, Lord, who sustains all.

We thank you, Lord our God, that you have given as an inheritance to our ancestors a lovely, good and broad land, and that You took us out, Lord our God, from the land of Egypt and that You redeemed us from a house of slaves, and for Your covenant which You have sealed in our flesh, and for Your Torah that You have taught us, and for Your statutes which You have made known to us, and for life, grace and kindness that You have granted us and for the eating of nourishment that You feed and provide for us always, on all days, and at all times and in every hour.

And for everything, Lord our God, we thank You and bless You; may Your name be blessed by the mouth of all life, constantly forever and always, as it is written (Deuteronomy 8:10); "And you shall eat and you shall be satiated and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land that He has given you." Blessed are You, Lord, for the land and for the nourishment.

Please have mercy, Lord our God, upon Israel, Your people; and upon Jerusalem, Your city; and upon Zion, the dwelling place of Your Glory; and upon the monarchy of the House of David, Your appointed one; and upon the great and holy house that Your name is called upon. Our God, our Father, tend us, sustain us, provide for us, relieve us and give us quick relief, Lord our God, from all of our troubles. And please do not make us needy, Lord our God, not for the gifts of flesh and blood, and not for their loans, but rather from Your full, open, holy and broad hand, so that we not be embarrassed and we not be ashamed forever and always.

On Shabbat, we add the following paragraph:

May You be pleased to embolden us, Lord our God, in your commandments and in the command of the seventh day, of this great and holy Shabbat, since this day is great and holy before You, to cease work upon it and to rest upon it, with love, according to the commandment of Your will. And with Your will, allow us, Lord our God, that we should not have trouble and grief and sighing on the day of our rest. And may You show us, Lord our God, the consolation of Zion, Your city; and the building of Jerusalem, Your holy city; since You are the Master of salvations and the Master of consolations.

God and God of our ancestors, may there ascend and come and reach and be seen and be acceptable and be heard and be recalled and be remembered - our remembrance and our recollection; and the remembrance of our ancestors; and the remembrance of the messiah, the son of David, Your servant; and the remembrance of Jerusalem, Your holy city; and the remembrance of all Your people, the house of Israel - in front of You, for survival, for good, for grace, and for kindness, and for mercy, for life and for peace on this day of the Festival of Matzot. Remember us, Lord our God, on it for good and recall us on it for survival and save us on it for life, and by the word of salvation and mercy, pity us and grace us and have mercy on us and save us, since our eyes are upon You, since You are a graceful and merciful Power. And may You build Jerusalem, the holy city, quickly and in our days. Blessed are You, Lord, who builds Jerusalem in His mercy. Amen.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, the Power, our Father, our King, our Mighty One, our Creator, our Redeemer, our Shaper, our Holy One, the Holy One of Ya'akov, our Shepard, the Shepard of Israel, the good King, who does good to all, since on every single day He has done good, He does good, He will do good, to us; He has granted us, He grants us, He will grant us forever - in grace and in kindness, and in mercy, and in relief - rescue and success, blessing and salvation, consolation, provision and relief and mercy and life and peace and all good; and may we not lack any good ever.

May the Merciful One reign over us forever and always. May the Merciful One be blessed in the heavens and in the earth. May the Merciful One be praised for all generations, and exalted among us forever and ever, and glorified among us always and infinitely for all infinities. May the Merciful One sustain us honorably. May the Merciful One break our yolk from upon our necks and bring us upright to our land. May the Merciful One send us multiple blessings, to this home and upon this table upon which we have eaten. May the Merciful One send us Eliyahu the prophet - may he be remembered for good - and he shall announce to us tidings of good, of salvation and of consolation...

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam borey pri hagafen.

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

We drink while reclining.

Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not recognized You and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon Your Name! Because they have devoured Ya'akov and laid waste his habitation (Psalms 79:6-7). Pour out Your fury upon them and the fierceness of Your anger shall reach them (Psalms 69:25)! You shall pursue them with anger and eradicate them from under the skies of the Lord (Lamentations 3:66).

Hallel

The Lord who remembers us, will bless; He will bless the House of Israel; He will bless the House of Aharon. He will bless those that fear the Lord, the small ones with the great ones. May the Lord bring increase to you, to you and to your children. Blessed are you to the Lord, the maker of the heavens and the earth. The heavens, are the Lord's heavens, but the earth He has given to the children of man. It is not the dead that will praise the Lord, and not those that go down to silence. But we will bless the Lord from now and forever. Halleluyah! (Psalms 115)

Praise the name of the Lord, all nations; extol Him all peoples. Since His kindness has overwhelmed us and the truth of the Lord is forever. Halleluyah! Thank the Lord, since He is good, since His kindness is forever. Let Israel now say, "Thank the Lord, since He is good, since His kindness is forever." Let the House of Aharon now say, "Thank the Lord, since He is good, since His kindness is forever." Let those that fear the Lord now say, "Thank the Lord, since He is good, since His kindness is forever." (Psalms 117-118:4)

Baruch ata adonai elohenu melech haolam borey pri hagafen.

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

We drink while reclining to the left.

Accepted

Completed is the Seder of Pesach according to its law, according to all its judgement and statute. Just as we have merited to arrange it, so too, may we merit to do [its sacrifice]. Pure One who dwells in the habitation, raise up the congregation of the community, which whom can count. Bring close, lead the plantings of the sapling, redeemed, to Zion in joy.
