Passover
Why Is Our Seder Different from All Other Seders?
1. We celebrate the values and symbols we cherish with words we believe.
2. We add modern stories of human struggles to achieve freedom and equality, connecting our ancient myths with current concerns.
3. In retelling the Exodus story, we emphasize human freedom and dignity, the power of human beings to affect their destiny, and the importance of hope.
4. The singing of Dayenu (“it would be enough”) for us can also be Lo Dayenu (“it would not be enough”), changing the message from one of satisfaction to a reminder that there is still more to do.
