It's one thing to work hours on a #Haggadah supplement, it's a whole other joy to hold it printed!
And yes, it includes a "read during the #Seder" version of the opinion piece I wrote for the @jdforward:

36.03/ Mentioned to my brother @acypess this morning that Biden has a superpower to (a) make his positions sound moderate & reasonable no matter what, which then (b) drives his opponents crazy in frustration. E.g. Putin & #MoscowMitch recently, challenging him to duels & whatnot.

I’m presently working my way through the Seder Olam--a 2nd cent. AD (or so I’m told) Rabbinic text which deals with the chronology of Scripture.
I highly recommend it.
Below is an interesting phenomen I’ve observed.

The author (Rabbi Yose) likes to ‘back out’ (i.e., infer) absent numbers from long-term measurements of time.
Or at least that’s how it looks to me.

Pourquoi cette nuit est-elle différente de toutes les autres nuits?
Dans #Israel confiné, sous couvre-feu depuis cet après-midi en raison du #coronavirus, les Israéliens peuvent suivre le #Seder de #Pessah en direct à la tv avec des artistes, #Netanyahu... Du jamais vu!

Pluie de critiques après l'apparition de #Netanyahu avec son fils Avner, venu le rejoindre dans sa résidence en violation des règles de confinement. Au même moment, les Israéliens doivent fêter #Pessah seuls, séparés de leurs proches

#Israel: comme #Netanyahu, le président #Rivlin a violé les règles de confinement en invitant sa fille et sa famille au #Seder de #Pessah.
Au moins a-t-il l'honnêteté de l'admettre. Il s'en excuse auprès des Israéliens

We, together apart, experience
trauma along with our forebears in
this disorienting, dreadful darkness,
meanspirited realms of selfishness
& senseless violence, driven by
magical thinking pharaohs who play
power games disturbing the delicate
balance of universal law & order,

We ask our four questions and do our
best to conceive of the inconceivable
in the retelling of our birth story while
waiting for our honored guest, Elijah,
who will herald the early morning light.

Todas las arduas preparaciones, el estudio, las compras, la limpieza, todo, tienen un objetivo: la realización del seder de pesaj (en la diáspora se hacen 2 pero en Israel sólo uno -imaginen lo dificil que es contentar a padres y suegros :-) ).
Tres son los pilares del seder:
1- Transmisión. Gran parte de las costumbres se centran en los niños. Sin jóvenes no hay continuidad, no hay futuro. Por más de tres milenios se levanta la llama del judaísmo para iluminar al mundo. Los jóvenes son el camino a la eternidad.
