נאריש זשלאָב מענטשAt my house we use a maxwell house haggadah set from the early 80s."Today, thousands of different <a href="https://babka.social/tags/haggadahs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#haggadahs</a> exist, with <a href="https://babka.social/tags/prayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prayers</a>, <a href="https://babka.social/tags/rituals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rituals</a> and readings tailored to every type of <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Seder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seder</a> – from LGBTQ+-affirming to climate-conscious. But for decades, one of the most popular and influential haggadahs in the United States has been a simple version with an unlikely source: the Maxwell House <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Haggadah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haggadah</a>, dreamed up in 1932 by the coffee corporation and a <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewish</a> advertising executive."<a href="https://theconversation.com/how-a-coffee-company-and-a-marketing-maven-brewed-up-a-passover-tradition-a-brief-history-of-the-maxwell-house-haggadah-180503" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/how-a-coffee-company-and-a-marketing-maven-brewed-up-a-passover-tradition-a-brief-history-of-the-maxwell-house-haggadah-180503</a>

J—dVIt’s almost Passover! Do you need a radical anti-capitalist anti-Zionist haggadah for your seder? I’ve got you covered comrade! It’s the “SoCal Haggadah,” newly revised, updated, and ready to rock your world. I have PDFs both for printing as a pretty booklet or for reading from a screen/tablet. If the prospect of the usual “God did everything. He chose us and just us. Let’s all praise Him” spiel has you down in these dark and fascist times (which, you know, of course it does) then this is the haggadah for you and your co-conspirators. Have a meal together, read the SoCal Haggadah, and go start a revolution!<a href="https://j-dv.com/zines/socalhaggadah.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://j-dv.com/zines/socalhaggadah.html</a><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Passover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Passover</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/haggadah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#haggadah</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/antizionist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antizionist</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/AntiZionistJews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiZionistJews</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/AntiFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiFascism</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/zine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zine</a>

MaimonidesIt 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) <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Maimonides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maimonides</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/MishnehTorah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MishnehTorah</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Passover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Passover</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Pesach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pesach</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Exodus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Exodus</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Seder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seder</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Haggadah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haggadah</a>

And the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/rabbis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rabbis</a> enshrined this in fifteen Seder night steps and the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Haggadah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haggadah</a> text – albeit currently one that not all of us understand. So how do we navigate that balance?To ditch the Haggadah altogether is to ignore key text and the rabbis’ Seder night wisdom and guidance. Yet to recite the Haggadah without knowing what it says is to forgo the educational opportunity that is Seder night! Especially since some of the stages in Seder night are aimed at piquing children’s interest – some of the steps or the encouragement of questions."<a href="https://www.thejc.com/judaism/how-to-make-your-seder-more-child-friendly-y1219a6j" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thejc.com/judaism/how-to-make-your-seder-more-child-friendly-y1219a6j</a>
