"Throughout his long life, #Kaplan made many contributions to #Judaism — his landmark 1934 text “Judaism as a Civilization”; the aforementioned #Haggadah; a similarly revamped #Shabbat #prayerbook; and a new university of Judaism on the West Coast. Now his life gets reconstructed in a #biography #published last month, “#MordecaiMKaplan: Restless Soul,” by #JennaWeissmanJoselit.
“I loved #writing it,” #WeissmanJoselit told The Times of Israel of the latest volume in the #Yale University Press #Jewish Lives series. “It kept me awake at night. The questions Kaplan posed were as relevant today as they were back in his time — sometimes even more relevant.”
She explained: “I think he was worried how [Judaism] would survive simply as it was. He did not… see it as able to sustain itself. He did not see its life as guaranteed… He was determined to be its white knight...”

"This past week, I was fortunate to acquire a particularly handsome example of a work that, while not always widely appreciated outside #bibliophilic circles, deserves to be counted among the most ambitious productions of #nineteenthcentury #Hebrew #printing – the #Trieste #Haggadah of 1863.
Students of #Jewish #art will recognize immediately the significance of this edition. Indeed, the noted art #historian #BezalelRoth went so far as to assert that only one nineteenth-century Haggadah could truly be called groundbreaking in both conception and execution: the #TriesteHaggadah.
Issued under the title #LHaggadaillustrata, the volume presents the Hebrew text alongside a refined #Italian #translation by #Rabbi #AvrahamChaiMorpurgo. The translation is not merely serviceable; it reflects a careful engagement with earlier #machzorim and #Haggadot across several #European traditions, resulting in a text that is both accurate and stylistically polished."

"Is G-d sending simple sons like me a message by making this year’s first #seder night fall on #AprilFools’ Day? It’s hard to ignore the timing. If anything could tempt a #Jewish #atheist to glance up at the heavens and stroke his chin, it’s a cosmic coincidence like this.
The #SimpleSon has always been my favourite seder sibling. The moniker does him no favours. “Simple” does not mean stupid. A mind devoid of thought. That misses what matters most about him. The #Haggadah’s unfairly maligned halfwit is a misunderstood character who sees the rituals around the table and asks the most important question of all: “What is this?”

This #Passover, some of us will remember enslaved #Uyghurs by placing #cotton balls on our #seder plates. Learn more at

"We were slaves in Egypt
We will not turn away from those who are slaves today
We were redeemed from slavery
We will do our part to help the Uyghurs live in freedom

It is a positive commandment of the Torah to relate the miracles and wonders wrought for our ancestors in Egypt on the night of the 15th of Nissan, as it is written (Exodus 13:3): "Remember this day when you left Egypt," similar to the obligation (Exodus 20:8): "Remember the Sabbath day."
How do we know this is on the night of the 15th? This is taught by the words (Exodus 13:8): "And you shall tell your child on that day, saying: 'It is because of this..." which indicate it is to be done at the time when matzah and marror are placed before you.
This mitzvah applies even when one does not have a child to tell. Even wise sages who know it well are obligated to tell about the Exodus from Egypt. Whoever elaborates upon the events which transpired is worthy of praise.
(Mishneh Torah, Chametz and Matzah 7:1)

I wanted to just shout out @pinkpeacock for their Trans Liberation #Haggadah. I'm working on a haggadah of my own after realizing that the one my family has been using for the past 20 years doesn't really feel like it meets the current moment, and I've been looking around for inspirations of my own. #פסח

My family and I are doing something a little bit atypical this year for #passover
For our first night (which we actually did a night early due to some scheduling issues), we did the entire service (in our own way of course), but for the remaining nights of passover we are picking one chunk of the #Haggadah to discuss and spend more time with, but also using it as an excuse to eat more #matzah and drink more #wine.

Here, btw, is a photo of that first known English language Haggadah, printed by Alexander Alexander in 1770, and held by the National Library and Archives of Canada. You can see the wine stains on the pages. #Haggadah #Passover #Pesach #Seder #London #Ottawa #yow #LowyCollection #Jewish #Yiddishkeit #JewishHistory #GeorgeIII

As Jewish families around the world prepare for Passover, I want to share this essay I wrote for Pesach in 2021. I think it still resonates today. And tonight also. https://albertaviews.ca/children-of-freedom/ #Passover #Pesach #Seder #Haggadah #Edmonton #yeg #Ottawa #yow #Holocaust #JewishHistory #Jewish #Yiddishkeit #Canada

This might honestly be the most interesting thing I’ve learned all year.
