The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1941-04-04
The New Passover Haggadah

Jewish life. Already that life has
become thin and vacuous. The on
ly chance of its regaining some
of its very much needed strength
depends upon our developing to
the utmost the rich significance
inherent in the observances which
are still maintained Especially an
observance like the Passover Sed-
er, which still retains something
of its historic appeal, dare not
contain anything that is opaque
and meaningless. Every moment of
it should be exciting and uplifting.
Nothing so lends itself to the kind
of edification we need for our day
as the story Of Israers redemption
from Egypt, provided that story is
transposed into the key of the
struggle for freedom in which all
men and nations are perpetually
engaged, and provided those as
poets of it are stressed which are
relevant to our actual needs and
aspirations.
The Reformists, with their IN
ion Haggadah. have taken a great
step forward in that direction. But
unfortunately that Haggadah is
vitiated by the Reformist theology
which still operates with the reis-
sion idea as a substitute for the
age-old faith in the ultimate re-
establishment of Palestine as a
Jewish commonwealth. Moreover,
by merely emitting archaic con-

tent from the Haggadah, and put
ting nothing of Hebraic charac-
ter in its place, little more is left
of the old Haggadah than its skele-
ton. This defeat is not compensat-
ed for even by the interesting ar
Genealogical essays which make
up a goodly part of the Union
Haggadah.
The Observation-Disclosures, on the
other hand, have not only excluded
from their New Haggadah all the
outworn material, but have also
added rich but hitherto unused
material. Besides centering at.
tention upon the meaning of free
dom and the duty of dedicating
ourselves to its attainment, it in

the stories about Israels slavery
in Egypt, and about Moses youth,
which give to the event of the
G@AO0Oo OOC41 a 11U1IldIl (OQC11 d1lO d
significance of universal range.
The various texts in the Torah,
which utilize the remembrance of
Israel's experience in Egypt to
motivate living on a high ethical
level, are woven into the ritual.
The cup of Elijah, which in the
traditional Haggadah is made the
occasion for pronouncing a bitter
imprecation against the cruel
heathens that devour our people,
is here signalized by songs which
herald a better day for mankind
and for Israel. By these and SINH
lar innovations, the New Hagga-
dab seeks for a world which is rid
of all Pharoahs, and in which God
alone is King.
