Pesach cleaning = slavery Pesach seders= a little better, but still pretty unpleasant - And then the rest of Pesach seems like freedom in comparison!

Pesach cleaning = slavery
Pesach seders= a little better, but still pretty unpleasant
- And then the rest of Pesach seems like freedom in comparison!

He handed out sheets with the lyrics to "Adir Hu" in German, and "Echad Mi Yodea" in Arabic, and everybody sang them in those languages. It was fun, and I had the feeling that there was a holy purpose to it- uplifting the language of our greatest oppressors, sort of like when we "borrowed" clothing and utensils before leaving Egypt.

One year I went to a Seder at my local Chabad shul. There they went around the table and everyone, men and women, did one paragraph in what ever language they were comfortable with. What a wonderful way of conducting the Seder. The following year I did the same. This made it more meaningful since we all chose to recite in English. It also allowed me to enjoy the Seder since I did not have to do all "the work" while everyone smoozed among themselves.

I was just giving an example. I'm surprised than anyone was interested in what that even was. I figured that it didn't matter if I said it was the Ramba"m, because American (mostly Ashkinazi) were bound to say that "we can't do anything the Ramba"m says, we have to continue are suffering w/o really knowing the halacha of what is required or just reject it all." I'm glad I was wrong. As far as the English goes. You could Hebrew/English hagadah, maybe even online, and just match up what's there, and remove what isn't. The only additions are after brachoth for each cup of wine and for the karpas. B”H

(j/k) Really, this saga went on for longer than appropriate. One of my biggest pet peeves is when technology does not function as it should, though my expectations are unrealistic, knowing that only Hashem is perfect. Just for the record, I didn't really yell. Not even in my head. But I am of a stiff necked people and cannot give in so easily. Thank you, however, for the mussar. (I take it straight up.) You are so mean to me.
