Shabbat Hagadol (Acharei Mot)
Leviticus 16:1-18:30
Candle Lighting Time: Friday, April 4, 2008 7:20 P.M.
Dear Friends,
So that my seder doesn’t become stale and old hat, I buy and study a
couple of new Haggadot each year and share my learning around the seder
table. This year in one of the Haggadot I purchased, I found lots of
interesting insights and seder questions. This Haggadah is titled the
“A Night To Remember: The Haggadah of Contemporary Vices” by MIshael
Zion and Noam Zion. Here are a few selections from this Haggadah for
your seder.
1. How am I Different Tonight?
After asking how this night is different from all other nights, you
might want to take this opportunity to go around the table and have
people share: How am I different tonight and this year from previous
years? What has changed this year? This can be a wonderful way to mark
the changes and differences in and around us, as well as a way to “catch
up” with the many guests at the Seder table. (page 27)
2. The Haggadah offers two versions of the Exodus story. The Talmudic
Rabbi, Shmuel, emphasized political enslavement (“We were slaves in
Egypt”) Now we turn to his colleague Rav, who tells a story of spiritual
servitude (In the beginning our ancestors were idol worshippers)
…Once a young Hassidic rebbe inherited the leadership of his father’s
hassidim. He immediately made many changes and innovations in the
group’s practice. The elders hastened to send a delegation of
dignitaries to the young rabbi, to talk some sense into him. “Why have
you changed the holy ways of your father?”
“On the contrary-I am following directly in my father’s path: just as
he, upon inheriting the leadership made many changes from his father’s
path, so have I!”
There is a delicate balance between continuity and innovation between
generations. On one hand, we want to conserve our parents’ memory and
traditions, their values and stories. On the other, we have over the
years made many changes from their way of life-be it by open revolt or
in gentle steps.
What have I changed, and what have I conserved, from my parent’s path?
