Passover

Our Congregation celebrates Passover together each year with a humanistic seder for families as well as a children's seder. (Photos here.) The complete CHJ Passover Haggadah in Word format is available to download here.  Here is a sampling from it, in which we place a drop of wine on our plates to symbolize each of ten "Plagues of Injustice" in today's world. 

Reader:  Today each drop of wine stands for the hope that we can wipe out the plagues of injustice, which cause pain and loss to people everywhere.

Together:  (pouring a drop of wine for each Plague of Injustice)

We Pour Ten Drops For the Plagues of Our World:

Against the making of war,
and against the teaching of hate.
Against the despoiling of the earth,
and against the perverting of power.
Against the fomenting of crime,
and against the neglecting of human needs.
Against the oppressing of peoples,
and against the corrupting of culture,
Against the subjugation of learning
and against the erosions of freedom.

from the Haggadah for Humanists, Congregation for Humanistic Judaism, Westport, Fairfield County, Connecticut
