Pesach - Minorities in Israel

Haggadah Supplement

Why is this Seder night different from all other Seder nights? Because RSY-Netzer and LJY-Netzer, working with Pro-Zion*, have created a Pesach insert to complement your Haggadah this year.

Motivated by an attempt to relate this year's Seder to recent events in Israel, and how our organisations engage with Israel's politics and society, this Haggadah insert can be used in various ways.

One way is to read some of the passages out at your Seder. The first page is relevant at the beginning, and the centre pages at the point in the Seder when you get to the paragraph beginning "In every generation...". Perhaps you could hand out copies of the insert and people can read them and choose which passages they want to share.  Or perhaps your guests can study them with the person next to them. The questions can be used to prompt discussion of important issues at your Seder table.

Pesach is not just about something that happened a long time ago. It is about what we are doing now. What will we speak out for and against, what actions we can take to further the Jewish values of the Seder? We do not know what you are going to decide but we hope that this can give you some ideas.

Wishing you a Chag Sameach and a great Seder,

Pro-Zion, RSY-Netzer, LJY-Netzer
